Meinungsplatz
honestly rated.

A German panel with frequent invitations, few unpaid screen-outs and bank transfers from 20 €, which arrived without fees in a test.

At a glance

For you if a bank account is fine and a 20 € minimum payout doesn't bother you.

Watch out for: Money comes by bank transfer only, batched once a month. A balance can expire after inactivity.

Payout
Bank transfer
Threshold
From 20 € according to the FAQ. Tiers of 20/30/40/50/100 € and fee-free transfers are only reported by a test; the FAQ and terms do not cover them. Older sources mention 15 € (outdated).
Timing
According to the FAQ, payouts are made at the end of the month and the transfer usually goes out at the start of the following month; one test says it typically takes about a month for the money to arrive.

EchtVerdient rating

What public experiences say about Meinungsplatz.

A solid German starting point for small side income, provided a bank account is fine and answers are honest.

Overall5 of 5 categories · 7 sources · as of 16 Oct 2026
  1. Payouts

    Does the money arrive reliably and on time?

    Strong evidence

    Two tests and Trustpilot confirm transfers from 20 €; one test shows no fee was deducted. Downsides: bank transfer only, batched once a month, and a few reports of accounts blocked at the first payout.

  2. Time value

    What's left per hour once screen-outs, searching and waiting count?

    Moderate evidence

    About 1 € per 10 minutes is roughly 6 €/h nominal; unpaid screen-outs (raffle tickets only) pull that down, but happen less often than elsewhere.

  3. Task supply

    Is there regularly something to do in Germany?

    Moderate evidence

    Many invitations per week (one test: 14–21), but few turn into a paid survey (another test: 2–5 a month). It stays profile-dependent.

  4. Getting started

    How high are the hurdles to get going?

    Moderate evidence

    Sign-up takes minutes, from age 16, no ID check reported. Caveat: payouts go to your own bank account only.

  5. Fairness & support

    How fair are bans, rejections and support?

    Moderate evidence

    Trustpilot is very good while the App Store score (2.4) is much weaker. Rules are transparent, but there are quality-based cancellations, expiry periods and individual reports of blocks despite a balance.

What people often praise

  • German operator, GDPR framework
  • No transfer fee in a test
  • Duration and reward shown before starting
  • Raffle tickets even after screen-out

What people often criticise

  • Bank transfer only, once a month
  • 20 € threshold
  • Accounts can be blocked or rewards cancelled after quality checks
  • Balance can expire after inactivity
Heads-up
  • Meinungsplatz and mingle both belong to Bilendi; the sources for the two are not fully independent.

We can't verify whether individual reviews on those platforms come from genuine users; the platforms themselves are responsible for that. Commissions have no influence on the rating.

Facts with sources

What the provider and reports actually say.

Every item has a source and a date. Where sources contradict each other, we show the conflict instead of picking the nicer number.

Reward per survey
0.50–2.50 € per survey depending on length, according to the FAQ; the expected length and reward are stated in the invitation email. ↗
Members and age
Over 300,000 members; participation from age 16, residing in Germany. ↗
Compensation for screen-outs
A screen-out earns three monthly raffle tickets, but no money. ↗
No fee on a test payout
In the test, exactly 20.00 € was transferred from a 20.80 € balance. The FAQ and terms mention neither PayPal nor vouchers. ↗
Expiry and deadlines
Rewards are deleted automatically once the account has been inactive for 12 months; after 36 months of inactivity the membership ends. A reward that never arrives must be reported within 45 calendar days of requesting it. There is one account per person and email address (terms, October 2025). ↗
Quality checks
Rewards can be cancelled after quality checks; tax obligations rest with the member. ↗
Earnings in practice (test)
Roughly 1 € per 10 minutes; an average of 8.20 € a month during the test period; eighth payout, as a voucher, received in March 2026. ↗
Same operator group as mingle
The imprint names Bilendi GmbH. The mingle (respondi) panel also names Bilendi as its operator. Both panels belong to the same company, so the sources for the two are not fully independent. ↗
