I tested the BeMyEye app to see if its in-store missions are worth your time. Missions pay a fair amount, but there are not many, and some readers report rejected tasks and pay that did not arrive. Below is what I found, and which sites I would pick first.

Real missions, but few of them, and mostly worth it in big cities
Mystery shopping missions in stores, around €5 each. Only in 17 European countries, mobile only.

The short answer
BeMyEye is a real microtask app that pays you for short missions, mainly mystery shopping in stores. A mission usually pays around €5, and you cash out to PayPal or by bank transfer from a low threshold.
But there are not a lot of missions, and how many you get depends on where you live. Some readers also report missions that were rejected without a clear reason, and pay that did not arrive. My review does not show a payout, and I recommend other sites before BeMyEye.

Is BeMyEye legit and safe?
BeMyEye is a real app with real missions. Some readers report problems getting paid for their work. Here is what you should know before you go out for a mission.
- Some readers report rejected missions and missing pay
Readers told me in 2021, 2024 and 2025 about missions that were rejected or sent back for small reasons, pay that had not arrived after more than three weeks, and emails that support did not answer. One reader in 2023 had every task accepted.
- Travel costs can eat your earnings
A mission usually pays around €5. If you have to go out of your way to a store, the gas money can cost more than the mission pays.
- Few missions, first come, first served
There were not a lot of missions when I tested it. Once someone books a mission, you cannot take it. In a rural area, you get even fewer.
- Miss the deadline and you earn nothing
Every mission has a deadline. If you book one and do not finish in time, or skip a step, you do not get paid. Only book a mission when you are ready to do it.
- Mobile only
You need the app and a camera. On iPhone, you have to search the App Store yourself: the BeMyEye website only links to Google Play.
My takeIn my opinion, BeMyEye is best used when you are already out of the house and have time to spare. You can simply open the app and check if there are nearby missions available. It can be a bit counterproductive if you have to go out of your way to go to certain locations to earn. Some readers also report payout problems, so I recommend other sites first.
BeMyEye has few missions, and travel costs can eat what you earn. These sites in your country are a better choice.
See the best alternativesHow you earn on BeMyEye
There are 2 ways to earn, and account levels help you earn more. Missions are where the money is. Tap one to read more.
MissionsAround €5 each
Missions are mainly mystery shopping. You check the placement and prices of products in stores, rate the service of store staff, look for certain types of stores, or photograph outdoor billboards. Some you can do at home, by answering questions about what you see on TV.
Tap the rocket icon to see the missions. Map mode shows which ones are close to you. Every mission shows its reward, its instructions and its deadline. You can reserve one mission at a time, and missions are first come, first served.
When you submit your data, BeMyEye reviews your work. If everything checks out, it credits the reward and you get experience points. Pay attention to every detail: if you miss something, you risk not getting paid.
Referral program€1 each
Share your referral code. When someone signs up with it and completes their first mission, you get €1. The reward is not high, but it is simple to qualify for.
Account levelsMore missions
Your account levels up as you complete missions. Higher levels give you access to more missions, let you reserve two missions at the same time, and give you longer deadlines. You get these benefits over time, without doing anything special.
How much can you make?
It depends mostly on your location. You usually earn around €5 per mission, so it all comes down to how many missions you can get.
In a major city, you have access to more missions. In a rural area, there are fewer. That is why BeMyEye is only really worth it if you live in a city with a lot of missions. Keep in mind your travel costs, and that some readers report missions that were rejected.
Payout methods and minimum
| Method | Minimum |
|---|---|
| PayPal | Depends on your country. Usually €5. |
| Direct bank transfer (SEPA) | Depends on your country. Usually €5. |
Every mission you complete is credited to your BeMyEye account once it is approved. The threshold is low for most countries, so you can withdraw your earnings quickly. If you want more sites that pay this way, see the top sites that pay via direct bank transfer.
What readers told me
This review has 12 comments since 2021: 7 from readers and 5 replies from me. These are the two things readers wrote about most.
Readers report missions that were rejected or sent back, pay that had not arrived after weeks, and support that did not reply.
One reader had plenty of missions at many stores and had every task accepted, but found the payout details form confusing.
“It’s been over 3 weeks and they STILL haven’t paid me for my tasks. And I’m being COMPLETELY ignored by their customer support.”
Mikael: Sorry to hear that but thanks for sharing your experiences.
“I had no problem completing dozens and dozens of assignments for the multitude of products targeted at the various retailers listed.”
Mikael: Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Horrible customer service and waste of time!
It’s a shame because I actually enjoyed doing these “treasure hunts”.
It’s been over 3 weeks and they STILL haven’t paid me for my tasks. And I’m being COMPLETELY ignored by their customer support.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!
Sorry to hear that but thanks for sharing your experiences.
Hello
Hello
I had no problem completing dozens and dozens of assignments for the multitude of products targeted at the various retailers listed. It was like, everyday, there were scores of missions at every Kroger, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Specs, Total Wine, various gas stations, Randalls, Walmart, you name it- there were missions there. And always more than one listed per assignment.
There were a few times, sure, where the item was no where to be found, nothing by the brand, seemed wrong altogether but what do I know about why someone is paying to know if something is or isn’t there? Don’t care, not my business, but they still pay so long as you prove you looked. Not difficult. True you get paid less if you don’t find, but they still accepted every single thing I submitted.
There are some app annoyances, but mainly my biggest irritation is how it (United States) wants you to use PayPal but insists upon an account number. Umm, your email address is how entities pay you via PayPal. I had PayPal customer service scratching their heads. I asked for my account number and they had to retell me that there isn’t one, as indicated in the website. There can be a card number if you opt for one but not numerical account number. Be My Eye has a numerical only space for this info. Good Grief Charlie Brown.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
People behind this BeMyEye are the greatest scammer I have ever come across. I lost words after seeing their shameless acts of cheating. I have been doing these types of small mystery shopping/auditing tasks since 2012. I have done 1000+ tasks to date using other apps. There are plenty of excellent apps out there and a few good ones. But this BeMyEye (UK) is at least 10 times worse than the bad ones! This scam does not pay for your hard work. They will collect information from you and will reject the job without any reason. Last month I have done 100+ tasks with another company, not a single one was rejected. I did about 10-12 with BeMyEye and most of them were marked incomplete or rejected for absolutely no valid reason. When I wrote to them, there was no reply whatsoever. Few points about this pathetic app and about the shameless scammers behind this:
– They will always reject your job and will tell you to go back again to fix it. Once you fix that, they will find something new (which is actually correctly done and was not indicated as wrong at the first review) and reject the task. And the funny part is, that job will be gone from the system! So definitely they use the data and submit it to clients. Telling from real experience!
– Their pay for tasks is very very low compared to the similar tasks by other similar apps; and their tasks are very difficult. They do not pay even 1/3 compared to other apps.
– Other apps will never ever tell you to go back to any store for the same job, this shi**y app will, even 2-3 times. As a result, you will spend more on travel and waste a lot of your time. After all these, the task will be rejected anyway! I have lost more money on their tasks than I earned. And wasted a lot of time on those 10-12 tasks. I wish I never installed this terrible scamming app.
– A single task from BeMyEye needs 20 – 30 minutes to complete, with 40+ photos needed for few tasks. Their scam idea is to tell that one of the photos is a bit blurred. So for one photo being blurred (totally made up by them) out of 30-40 photos for one task, they will reject your task. You do not have any say in their decisions.
– I don’t understand why clients give projects to this pathetic company, BeMyEye. Their tasks remain to live for months, as no one wants to use this app after a few days. Whereas, I have to compete to reserve tasks in other apps as they all go within hours after being published.
– The app crashes during every task. On average, it crashes 5-6 times during one job. So you have to start the task again and again!
– Overall, it is an absolutely terrible app. The people behind this are pathetic and inhuman scammers. BTW, they begged for 5-star reviews via emails and that is why there are some! I wish I could put negative stars, 1 star is too good for them. Do yourself a favor, and never install this app. Find other great alternative ones for some extra money. Don’t waste your money on travel and your precious time on this scam. Something should be done to stop this scam of BeMyEye.
Sorry to hear that. But thanks for taking the time to share your experiences.
So what are the names of these “excellent apps”?
