International Paid Survey Sites: Which Accept the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand

By Jake Mitchell · Facts checked September 30, 2026 · We re-check this table every month

Many “best survey sites” lists are written for Americans. If you live in the UK, Canada, Australia or New Zealand, you’ll find that some sites won’t accept you at all, and others pay only in ways that don’t suit you. We checked each site’s own help pages and recorded only what they say.

Survey and testing sites by country

Key: ✔ accepts people living there · ✘ doesn’t · – we couldn’t confirm it on the site’s own pages.

What each site’s own pages say

• Swagbucks: residents over 13 in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, among other countries, can redeem rewards. PayPal rewards can take up to 10 business days to arrive, though Swagbucks says they usually arrive much sooner.
• Prolific: you must be over 18 with a verified account. Eligibility depends on where you live, not your nationality. Cash-outs reach PayPal “within 24 hours, typically much sooner.”
• Toluna: it runs separate sites by country, and you must register on the one for the country you live in. Points expire 12 months after you earn them, and rewards can take up to 3 weeks to arrive.
• YouGov: it runs country panels with their own join pages for the US, UK, Canada and Australia. We couldn’t find a rewards page for New Zealand.
• Qmee: it lists the US, UK, Canada, Australia, France and Germany. Your PayPal account must be registered in the same country as your Qmee account.
• UserTesting: it recruits testers from the US, UK, Canada and Australia as its standard countries. Pay depends on the test type, its length and customer demand.
• LifePoints: it’s available in 45 countries, including all five here, and is run by Lightspeed, a Kantar Group company.
• Freecash: PayPal cash-outs are available in all five countries. Your first withdrawal needs a minimum of $5 to $20, depending on your region, plus an ID check; later withdrawals don’t.
• PrizeRebel: its help centre is written for members in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, with a separate answer for people elsewhere.
• Ipsos iSay: rewards depend on your country. We confirmed its US and New Zealand sites; its UK, Canada and Australia pages blocked our check.
• Opinion World: it runs separate sites for Australia and New Zealand.
• Branded Surveys: “You may only use Branded Surveys from the US, CA, and the UK.”
• InboxDollars: for people living in the 50 US states, aged 18 or over. Its terms set a $30 minimum before you can redeem.

We couldn’t confirm the country rules of Survey Junkie, MyPoints, OnePoll, Pureprofile or Valued Opinions from their own pages on September 30, 2026. We’ll add them once we can.

Which country has the most choice?

Confirmed options from this table: US 12, UK 10, Canada 10, Australia 10, New Zealand 7. New Zealanders miss out on Qmee, Branded Surveys, InboxDollars and UserTesting’s standard tests. Our New Zealand guide covers the options that do work there.

Before you sign up

• Expect ID checks. Some sites verify your identity before your first cash-out. Freecash, for example, does this on your first withdrawal.
• Check how you’ll be paid. Prolific and UserTesting pay only through PayPal. If you don’t use PayPal, look for gift cards you’d actually spend.
• Match your PayPal country. Qmee, for example, needs a PayPal account registered in the same country as your Qmee account.
• Watch for expiring points. Toluna’s points expire 12 months after you earn them.
• Never pay to join. Legitimate survey sites don’t charge you to join or to cash out. Toluna says plainly that “you will never be asked to pay.” If a “survey job” asks you for money, read our guide to checking a survey site or online job offer.

How we checked

On September 30, 2026 we read each site’s own help pages, FAQs and country pages, listed below. We record only what the sites themselves say, and mark anything we couldn’t confirm. We didn’t sign up or earn money on these sites for this page. We re-check the table every month. If a site has changed its rules, tell us at jakemitchell@toptierfind.com and we’ll check and update it.
