Can You Actually Make Money on Sweatcoin?
An honest review
A whole new variety of app came on the scene years ago, one that would compensate you for your steps, runs, or physical activity. One of them is called Sweatcoin. Sweatcoin will give you a coin for every 1,000 steps you take. There are also daily bonus coins for watching short ads. Your coins can then be used to purchase Sweatcoins offers. These offers include tangible goods, digital products, vacations, charitable causes, and good ol’ fashioned cash.
Are the offers any good?
Yes and No. Honestly, a lot of the offers are for trial offers on goods and services you can already get for free. For example, “Two Months of Audible and $5 Credit” or “$100 of Delivery Credit at Postmates”. They only cost a few coins, but it’s almost offensive to ask for coins with these as you can find promo codes everywhere.
There are some physical goods that come about which hold some appeal. I’ve seen a Theragun Massager, Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer, sleek and foldable bike helmet, and wireless headphones offered. But many of these items cost 10,000–20,000 Sweatcoins…
