Real or Fake? Testing the Top 3 Viral Money-Making Apps (2025 Update).

Making money online sounds easy especially when viral apps promise quick cash for watching videos, clicking buttons, or inviting friends. But how many of these apps actually pay real money? We tested 3 of the most talked-about money-making apps trending in 2025 to find out: are they real or fake?

 

Let’s break it down with honest results!

📱 1. ClipClaps – Watch Videos and Earn

Platform: Android & iOS
Claim: Watch funny videos and earn real money via PayPal.

✅ What We Did:

We installed ClipClaps and used it for 7 days. The app gives coins for watching videos, spinning a wheel, and referring friends. Coins can be converted into real money.

💰 What We Earned:

After 7 days, we earned $1.70. The payment was received via PayPal within 3 days.

❌ The Catch:

You earn very slowly unless you refer others. Without referrals, it could take weeks to reach the minimum payout.

✅ Verdict:

Real but Slow – It does pay, but don’t expect to get rich overnight.

📱 2. Temu – Shop and Earn Free Gifts

Platform: Android, iOS, Website
Claim: Invite friends and earn free products or cashback.

✅ What We Did:

Temu runs “Spin & Win” and “Referral” campaigns. We joined a campaign and referred 4 real users (not fake accounts).

🎁 What We Got:

We received a free Bluetooth earphone (value: $7) delivered to Bangladesh within 12 days.

❌ The Catch:

Some campaigns require many referrals to unlock rewards. Also, products may take time to arrive.

✅ Verdict:

Real – But Depends on Referrals. Temu is legit, and you can earn, but only if you can refer friends.

📱 3. Cashzine – Read News and Get Paid

Platform: Android
Claim: Read articles and earn coins that convert to money.

✅ What We Did:

Used the app daily for 10–15 minutes. You earn points for reading and sharing news articles.

💰 What We Earned:

After a week, we reached the minimum payout and requested $1.50 via PayPal. It took 5 days to arrive.

❌ The Catch:

Like ClipClaps, earnings are slow unless you invite others. Reading alone earns only a few cents per day.

✅ Verdict:

Real – But Low Paying. Great for casual users, not for big income.

🔒 Pro Tips to Avoid Fake Apps

1. Check Google Play Ratings and recent reviews.

2. Avoid apps that promise $100 in a day – they’re almost always fake.

3. Look for payment proof from real users (YouTube or Facebook groups).

4. Don’t invest money unless you’re 100% sure it’s legit.

These viral apps are real but not reliable as your main source of income. Use them for small side earnings, but for bigger goals, try freelancing, content creation, or affiliate marketing.
