I tested Surveyon and made a video about it. It is legit and pays through PayPal from just $1, but the rewards are very low and it is only for Asian countries. Below is what I found, and which sites I recommend instead.

The short answer
Surveyon is a legit survey site that pays you to answer surveys. You can cash out to PayPal from 10,000 points, which is only $1, and there is a mobile app.
But the rewards are very low. After the profile surveys, most surveys pay around $0.02 to $0.10. It is not a great primary site to earn from. Only join it if you need an additional survey site, and be patient.

Is Surveyon legit and safe?
Yes, Surveyon is legit, because it pays you to answer surveys. But that does not automatically make it worth your time. Here is what you should know.
- The rewards are very low
After the profile surveys, most surveys pay around 200 to 1,000 points, which is $0.02 to $0.10. And you will not always qualify. So even with a $1 threshold, it takes a lot of time to withdraw even a small amount.
- A reader reports points that expired
In July 2022, a reader wrote that points expire if you are not active for 180 days, and that Surveyon only returned expired points once. If you join, log in regularly.
- Only for Asian countries
DataSpring, the owner of the site, mostly operates in Asia. If you do not live in an Asian country, do not expect to be able to join. The app is only available in specific countries.
- Surveys from other sites
Some surveys come from other survey sites, so a survey can take you to another website. That is just the site hosting the survey. For those surveys, you go through a qualifying process first.
My takeIn my opinion, Surveyon is not a great primary site to earn from. I would only suggest you join it if you need an additional survey site. But you need to be patient with it, because it does not pay that well. If you want primary ways to earn extra cash, check out the top survey and GPT sites in your country instead.
Surveyon pays very little per survey. The top sites in your country pay more and offer more payment options.

There are 3 ways to earn. Paid surveys are the main one. Tap one to read more.
Paid surveys200 to 2,000 points
Log in to the member dashboard to see the surveys you can take. You immediately see what you will earn for each survey.
Surveyon’s own surveys are profile surveys that help it send you the right surveys. You are automatically qualified for them, and they pay around 500 to 2,000 points. I earned more than a thousand points for one of them. Do them first, because they are guaranteed earnings.
The other surveys come from other survey sites and pay around 200 to 1,000 points each. You go through a qualifying process first. If you do not qualify, move on to the next survey.
Quick polls1 point per poll
Every day you get a few polls to answer, usually 3. Each poll pays 1 point, and answering all of them takes less than a minute.
You can also create your own poll. If it gets at least 100 answers, you earn 200 points. Answering polls made by other members pays nothing, so it is hard to get those 100 answers. I would just answer the daily polls.
Referral program2,000 points + 1%
Share your referral link. When your referral answers their first survey, you both get 2,000 points. You also earn a 1% commission every time your referral earns. The rewards are quite low, so it will not significantly increase your earnings.
How much can you make?
Even though Surveyon has a low payout threshold, it does not help much, because the rewards are low.
After the profile surveys, which pay around 500 to 2,000 points, the other surveys only pay around 200 to 1,000 points each. That is around $0.02 to $0.10 per survey, which is quite atrocious, in my opinion. And you will not always qualify.
So it takes a lot of time to earn enough points to withdraw even a small amount. That is why I would say Surveyon’s earning potential is quite low.
Payout method and minimum
| Method | Minimum | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PayPal | 10,000 points ($1) | The only payment option the site lists |
Once you have 10,000 points, you can withdraw your earnings via PayPal. That may sound like a lot of points, but it is only worth $1. I like that the payment system is simple and uses PayPal. If you want more sites with this method, see the top sites that pay via PayPal.

Saya kecewa dengan survey on. Sudah beberapa hari terakhir ini situs ini tidak bisa diakses, padahal aku sudah mengumpulkan 71.000 poin
Thanks for sharing your experiences. The website is working again when I check it, so hope you will also be able to access it again soon. Let me know how it goes.
From my experience so far, Surveyon is one of the best. I have been paid through PayPal several times and got vouchers from internet companies. The most surveys that I receive pay between 3000 and 6000 points for each survey. They , sometimes, even give you 200 points if you’re not qualified. And once, I got 200 points after I declined a survey. If you’re diligent to answer the surveys you can quickly get your rewards within a week or two.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I don’t recommend this website at all. Firstly, the rewards are so low you might take years to even accumulate 10 USD
Secondly, points expired if you don’t keep yourself active for 180 days. And when asked to reinstate the expired points. They will do it once and said it’s a goodwill and give you a warning that there will be no next time. For me, my points actually expired a second time because I can’t be always logging in to keep myself active. Not as if I have nothing to do isn’t it. They replied my email saying they have already warned me as the email you see below :
Them – As you can see the last record was in Jan 2017.
Me – Yes. And we already warned you at that time that the next time your points expire again, we will not be returning the expired points anymore.
Me – I also see no use to continue using this survey platform since you are so stringent abt having just to return the expired points even in my case it’s after a good 5 years.
Then – We’re sorry to hear that you would like to cancel your account.
You can cancel your membership by yourself.
Wow. So impressed their email replies. Rude and unprofessional.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
