Viewfruit is a paid survey site that looks like a great way to make some extra money online.
But is Viewfruit legit and a real way to make some extra cash, or is it a fake scam to stay away from?
I have personally tested hundreds of paid survey sites and I have tested Viewfruit thoroughly. Let me tell you right away that it is a legitimate site – you can actually earn and get paid as a member, and I have been paid by it many times.
However, legit does not necessarily mean that this is the opportunity for you.
This Viewfruit review will give you all the details about what it offers, who it is for and what you can earn, so you know exactly what to expect and can easily decide if it is a site worth joining for YOU.
What is Viewfruit and what does it offer?
Viewfruit is a member of the Market Research Association and is a site that has been around for many years. It is owned by Paneland and is definitely a legitimate company – I know because I have been paid by them many times myself.
So the legitimacy of Viewfruit is not something you need to worry about.
But let’s take a look at what the platform offers so you can see if it’s for you or not.
Option 1 – Viewfruit surveys (V-Surveys):
Viewfruit is first and foremost a survey site and this is the main way to make money on this platform.
There is a good amount of surveys available and they pay well for your time compared to other sites.
You will usually receive an email with an invitation when a new survey is available. However, it can still be a good idea to check the platform itself regularly for new opportunities, as you will not always receive an email notification.
And be sure to check your junk folder for survey invitations after you sign up. In my experience, invitations often go there and if you are not aware of this, you could potentially miss out on a lot of income.
If you are logged in, you can also easily see which surveys are available at the moment.
It is easy to get an overview of the surveys available on Viewfruit.
As you can see in the image above, the corner of each survey tells you whether you can take it on your PC, your phone or both.
Below each survey offer you can also see the number of points you will receive for completing the survey. This makes it easy to see which surveys you want to take.
You can always decide which surveys you want to take and which you want to skip.
Please note that in order to be offered the most relevant surveys, it may be a good idea to complete your profile after joining. This will give Viewfruit a little more information about who you are, and you will be offered more relevant surveys.
However, you will not be eligible for all surveys. This is true of more or less all survey sites. On Viewfruit, however, you should have a good chance of qualifying, so if you do not qualify the first time, do not give up.
Viewfruit also gives you a reward even if you do not qualify, which is unusual but great. More on this later.
Option 2 – Create and vote in polls:
On Viewfruit you can participate in what is called V-Vote. These are small polls created by other members. They only take a few seconds to answer.
It can be a short question like Coke or Pepsi, how did you meet your soul mate, do you play video games or not, etc.
They are always very short and quick to answer. Once you have answered, you can see the statistics of how other people have answered.
You can see the results immediately when you take part in a V-Vote.
You can also create your own small V-Vote polls, which other members will then take part in. This is not something you earn for doing, but more of a social thing.
It can be a great way to get some quick answers to a question you are wondering about, and it can be a fun way to interact with other members. Just be aware that this is not a way to earn money.
Option 3 – Lucky draws:
Viewfruit has a nice extra way of giving you the chance to win some great extra prizes. This is called the Lucky Draw.
You could win great prizes or extra cash in the Lucky Draw.
You could win some great prizes such as an iPhone, Kindle or extra cash. The exact prizes will change from time to time depending on your country.
You do not need to do anything extra to enter this competition. You get entries by being active on Viewfruit.
For example, every time you complete a survey, you will receive 3 entries into the prize draw. If you do not qualify or the survey is full when you try, you will get 1 entry. So this is a nice consolation prize if you do not qualify for a survey, and it is not often that you find a survey site that will give you a reward even if you do not qualify.
As soon as you receive an entry, you can click on the ‘Go’ button and see if you have won. You can also choose to save your entries for later.
Option 4 – Invite friends to join
You can invite your friends to join Viewfruit and create your own survey team.
If one of the people you invite completes a Viewfruit survey, you will receive an extra 10% credited to your account. The person taking the survey will still get paid the same amount as usual, but Viewfruit will pay you this extra 10% because you invited them to join your team.
If one of the people you invited confirms their account, you will also receive an entry into the prize draw. So if you know some people who are interested in joining Viewfruit, this can be a nice way to earn a little extra.
Option 5 – Message members:
Viewfruit used to have an option called V-Chat, which was a chat feature.
This has been removed, but you can now use the message centre instead to send messages to friends.
This is not really a feature that I use much myself, but it is nice to know that it is there. Just be aware that you are not getting paid for using this feature.
Of course it is not allowed to post spam or advertising in the Viewfruit chat.
This feature is not something you will be paid for, but it can make being a member a little more fun if you like being social.
How do you get paid?
One of the most important things to know before joining an online survey site is what it offers. But it is also very important to know how you will be paid for taking part.
When you complete surveys on Viewfruit, you earn points and, as mentioned above, you are also entered into a prize draw.
The points you earn can then be exchanged for cash via PayPal. Personally, I love survey sites that offer PayPal as a payout option, as it is great to be able to get the rewards in cash in a quick and easy way.
At Viewfruit you can exchange your points for cash via PayPal.
An advantage of Viewfruit is that it has a low payout threshold, so you can get your money out as soon as you have earned $5, which is really great.
500 Viewfruit points equals $1, so you need to earn 2500 points to get paid. Withdrawal requests are processed every Friday and you will receive the money in your PayPal account the following week.
So overall I think the payout method and conditions at Viewfruit are great.
How much money can you make with Viewfruit?
Overall, Viewfruit has some decent opportunities to make money from surveys. So it is a good site to join if you want to earn some extra cash.
However, depending on the country you live in, there are sites that offer more opportunities, as some sites offer multiple ways to earn. You can check out my list of the top paying survey sites in your country to get an idea.
However, Viewfruit is definitely one of the sites worth considering in the countries where it is available (see the list below).
Just be aware that, as with any survey site, you will not be able to make a full-time income from Viewfruit. You can earn some nice extra cash and have your say on important issues, but it will not make you rich. So if you want to get rich online, paid surveys are not the way to go.
Can you use Viewfruit on your mobile phone?
Having access to a survey panel on your mobile is a great way to take surveys and earn a little extra during your breaks throughout the day.
Viewfruit has its own app that makes this very easy.
The Viewfruit app is a great way to get easy access to the surveys.
You can do all the same things in the app as you can on the website. You even get a bonus of 100 points for installing the app.
There are some surveys that are only available on mobile and some that are only available on PC, so it is still a good idea to check both options regularly. However, many of the surveys are available on both the Viewfruit app and website.
The app is available for both Android and iPhone.
Who can take part?
Viewfruit is available in around 32 countries across Asia, Australia, Europe, the Americas and Africa. Each country has its own platform, often in the local language.
Viewfruit is currently actively recruiting members from countries such as the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Philippines, Malaysia, India and Singapore.
So if you live in one of these countries, it is definitely a site worth considering. You can find out how to join later in this review.
Can you get support?
It is always important to know whether a survey site offers support or not, as it tells you how serious they are.
I myself have been in contact with Viewfruit on a number of occasions and have found them to be very responsive and helpful.
How fast the support is may vary from country to country, and if you have any experience with Viewfruit support from your country, it would be great if you could share it in a comment below.
But overall, in my experience, you can expect a fairly quick response when you need to contact support.
Final verdict
There is no doubt that Viewfruit is a legitimate survey site. But that does not necessarily mean that it is the right option for you.
So let’s end this review with a summary of the pros and cons so you can get a quick overview of what Viewfruit has to offer and see if it is a survey site for you or not.
Pros:
- Free to join
- Decent amount of surveys
- Offers PayPal payments
- Low payout threshold
- Easy to use
Cons:
- Not available in all countries
- Can be distracting with the social elements
Overall, Viewfruit is easy to use and offers good earning opportunities for a survey site. It can be a little distracting with some of the social elements if you are easily distracted, but it can also be fun.
It offers a great payout method and you can get paid as soon as you have earned $5. I also really like that you have the chance to earn points even if you do not qualify for a survey.
All in all, definitely a site worth considering.
How do I join Viewfruit?

Then you can fill out your profile (or you can skip this and wait until later) and then you can start taking surveys. If there are no surveys available when you log in, just give it some time to collect data and check back in 10 minutes. There will probably be surveys available for you then.
