A real PTC site, but the rewards are very low
You earn coins for viewing ads and doing offers, open worldwide. Expect to invest a lot of time for little money.

The short answer
Coinpayu is a real Paid-To-Click (PTC) site. You earn coins for viewing ads and completing offers, and you can redeem them for crypto, gift cards or cash through PayPal or bank transfer.
But most of the ways to earn have low rewards, so you have to invest a lot of time to earn a decent amount. Many ads promote sites that are not worth joining, and some are risky. There are many better options, in my opinion.
- Offers a simple way to earn rewards
- Has a decent number of offerwalls available
- Surf ads earn without you having to watch them
- Cash payouts through PayPal or bank transfer, next to crypto and gift cards
- Open in every country
- Low rewards
- Has a lot of spammy ads
- A transaction fee on every cashout
- The same offers pay more on other sites
- The referral program only pays for inviting advertisers

Is Coinpayu legit and safe?
Coinpayu is a real PTC site where you can earn by viewing ads and doing offers. But that does not make it worth your time. Here is what you should know.
- Many ads are not worth it, and some are risky
Many of the ads promote options that are not worth joining, and some are even risky. Be careful which ads you believe in.
- Some readers report a vanished balance
In 2023, one reader wrote that her balance disappeared after two months without logging in, and another that your account can disappear at the slightest mistake. A reader in 2025 recommended it as a side site. My review does not show a payout, so I cannot confirm how Coinpayu handles this.
- The referral numbers are not realistic
You now only earn by inviting advertisers. Coinpayu shows that 1,000 advertisers who each spend 1 BTC would earn you 200 BTC. That sounds amazing, but it is not realistic: most advertisers do not spend much on a platform like this.
- Same offers, lower rewards
Many of the exact same offers are on other sites for a higher reward, in my experience. So it is not very beneficial to complete them on Coinpayu.
My takeIn my opinion, Coinpayu is not a bad site. However, it is not that great either. You have to be very patient, because most of the earning opportunities it offers have low rewards. So you really have to invest a lot of time to earn a decent amount. There are just many better options, in my opinion.
How you earn on Coinpayu
There are 3 ways to earn. Ads are what make it a PTC site, but offerwalls pay more. Tap one to read more.
Paid adsVery low
There are four types of ads: surf ads, video ads, article ads and window ads. Each ad shows how much it pays and how long you have to view it.
Surf ads are the easiest. You click an ad, it opens in a new tab, and you let the timer run on the Coinpayu Surf Ads page. You do not have to actually view it. Surf ads are also the most available, and they pay more than the other types.
For window ads, you have to stay on the ad and keep your mouse cursor on the page, or the progress bar stops. For video ads, you first solve a captcha, watch until the timer ends, and then click “Visit Website”.
The rewards are very low, so this takes a lot of patience. See my PTC guide to learn how PTC sites work.
OfferwallsBetter than ads
Coinpayu has plenty of offerwalls. Most offers ask you to answer a survey or quiz, play a browser game, download an app or sign up for a website. Each offer shows its reward and requirements.
Offers pay significantly more than ads, so this is the better way to earn. But many of the same offers pay more on other sites, in my experience.
Referral programHard to earn
When I first tested Coinpayu, you could earn by inviting friends. Now you only earn a commission when an advertiser you invited joins and buys ads.
It is a form of passive income, but it is not easy. It is hard to invite advertisers, and most will not spend much money on a platform like this.
How much can you make?
PTC sites do not offer the best earning potential, because viewing ads pays very little. The offerwalls on Coinpayu pay a bit better.
Overall, Coinpayu has a low earning potential because of the low rewards. Coinpayu used to offer a paid membership to boost your earnings. It no longer does, and that is not a loss, in my opinion: you should not have to spend your own money on a rewards site.
Payout methods and fees
| Method | Minimum | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Gift cards, like Amazon | Depends on the card; Amazon from 1,000 coins | Shown when you redeem; 100 coins on a 1,000-coin Amazon card |
| Crypto | Depends on the coin | Shown when you redeem |
| PayPal | Depends on the reward | Shown when you redeem |
| Bank transfer | Depends on the reward | Shown when you redeem |
1,000 coins are worth $1. You used to earn Satoshi, but now you earn coins. Set up your payout method right after your first login, so you do not have to do it when it is time to withdraw.
I like that Coinpayu now offers cash payments. For more sites like this, see the top sites that pay via PayPal. For more crypto, see the best sites to earn Bitcoin.

Readers who found answers to their questions in this review.
One reader thinks it deserves a higher rating, because you can click ads while you do other things. I think there are many better PTC sites.
Readers wrote in 2023 that a balance disappeared after two months away, and that an account can disappear at the slightest mistake.
Readers pointed out changes to the site. This review now describes the coins, the cash payouts and the new referral program.
“In short you can see 50 ads a day without losing more than 2 minutes of time and without using your brain.”
Mikael: I have tested hundreds of PTC sites and other free ways to earn online, and based on that and compared to the many other options I have tested, I do not really think Coinpayu is worth it.

Who tested Coinpayu for this review

If you have any comments, questions, or experiences with Coinpayu, I would love to hear from you in a comment below.
Dear Mikael,
this time again I think you understimate the site and how one should use it.
It’s all ads clicking but those pays more than 0.001$ on average which is the medium amount you get from PTCs and faucets.
the point is that you do not need attention… you click, launch the ad, do other stuff. when you have a second, you close it and launch another…. In short you can see 50 ads a day without losing more than 2 minutes of time and without using your brain. No captcha is a huge bonus.
it’s possible to make 2/3 dollars per month even while working or doing surveys. That’s the added value.
It deserves 4 stars as a collateral site while you are doing other things.
Thanks for sharing your opinions. I always welcome others sharing their experiences also.
Also I always make clear, my reviews are based on my experiences and opinions. I have tested hundreds of PTC sites and other free ways to earn online, and based on that and compared to the many other options I have tested, I do not really think Coinpayu is worth it. Earning $2-$3 does not mean it deserves a 4 star rating, in my opinion. There are many sites where you can earn that per day if you use the right free methods no matter the country you live in. But I hear your point about the rating and maybe it could be a bit higher, even though I think there are many better free ways to earn. But 4 stars is definitely out of the question, in my opinion. Maybe 2 stars or max 2.5 stars, and I will take that into consideration next time I update my review.
But I also recognize that we all have different opinions and experiences, so great you are sharing yours here. Thanks for that.
Hi, I think you are looking at it and asking yourself ” how much I can make from it ?” and the answer is quite disappointing against other sites. TRUE.
But this is a support, not a main. It’s not how much I can make here vs how much I can make on Freecash but it’s how much I can make here while I invest my time on Freecash (or while working etc..). Let me explain:
– the selling point of this site is ads clicking. you click and forget, after some seconds, you make another couple clicks and “see” another ad.
– so you can start a survey on other site, which requires your time and attention and every tot questions, you launch an ad on Coinpayu.
– after 30 minutes, you have done your survey AND you have saw some ads
Clearly trying to make 10 $ on CoinpayU is slow or inefficient (the offers pay bad).
But trying to make 10$ on CoinpayU + other sites is better than using only the other sites.
Because you need 3 seconds for every ad, no captcha, no need to complete them.
It’s effortless. Surveys, app registrations, gaming… requires time and brain. You can’t do them while working (or you can at your own risk). Having a list of ads you click during calls or between emails is not impacting whatever else you are doing.
the 4 stars: in respect of sites with similar activities (faucets, adbtc…) it’s the one with less time lost and has a very good average per click.
Finally, in my experience (traditional 8 hours job at the pc) it’s the easiest to squeeze into my working routine.
I appreciate you sharing your experiences. As I always say. what is worth it or not varies from person to person. I am just sharing my opinion based on my tests and experience. Based on that there are also many better PTC sites. But again, we all have different opinions and preferences, and I appreciate you sharing yours in a constructive and polite way. Thanks
Hello Mikael! I noticed that your article is very outdated, not in terms of morality, but in terms of the technical capabilities of the site. I ask you, if you have free time, update the article, because it is outdated today and the reader will not waste his time on the rest of your work, looking for correspondence between the text and real actions on the described sites or videos. Sincerely your subscriber Andrey.
I update articles all the time and update many every single week and if you actually look my content is better updated than any other review site and also based an actual experiences. But if you come across anything specific you do not think is correct, then just please share it in a comment.

Thank you very much for explaining this, you really helped me and cleared my doubts.
you are welcome. Glad it helped.
I have used this site and would not recommend it.
I spent 2 months without entering the site and I had 8000 sat, my balance just disappeared.
This has never happened to any other site that I’ve gone much longer without accessing. I never used it again and I don’t recommend it to anyone.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
