EchtVerdient rating

What public experiences say about YouGov Deutschland.

Trustworthy, but only a patient add-on, because the 50 € threshold takes very long with so few invitations.

Overall5 of 5 categories · 6 sources · as of 16 Oct 2026

  1. Payouts

    Does the money arrive reliably and on time?

    Strong evidence

    Payouts are reported as reliable, but only from roughly 50 € and without PayPal. With a few surveys a month that takes months, and sources disagree on transfer times.

  2. Time value

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

    Moderate evidence

    Nominally about 1–3 € for 15–25 minutes, roughly 2.5–7 € per hour. Because unpaid screen-outs are rarely reported, the effective rate stays close to the nominal one.

  3. Task supply

    Is there regularly something to do in Germany?

    Moderate evidence

    Invitations arrive only occasionally (one or two a week, sometimes nothing for weeks), which also delays reaching the threshold.

  4. Getting started

    How high are the hurdles to get going?

    Moderate evidence

    Free sign-up from age 16, app available. Higher payout tiers may require ID plus a selfie check.

  5. Fairness & support

    How fair are bans, rejections and support?

    Moderate evidence

    Very good overall ratings and clear rules; criticism mostly concerns slow support and login problems.

Show all 6 sources with dates

How the rating is made: we read public reviews, experience reports and tests and summarise them in our own words. 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.
