I have to admit, I'm usually a bit skeptical about online survey sites, but Madai has been a genuinely positive experience.
Positive experience. The platform is simple to use and it does not ask me to register or give personal data to start. Different from others, there is no complicated point system: the value earned is immediately clear and can be redeemed in real gift cards. It is not a miracle service, but it works in a correct and transparent way. My advice: watch the community pot, it adds value even without doing anything, but it can also be redeemed by others.
twice i was close to redeeming the $5 thereshold, it would juat restet me back to liken$0.97, anytime i would get close, i even signed up with my email, scam website
Hello. Nothing has ever been reset. The amount you see is a combination of two things: your personal earnings and the community pot. The community pot is extra free value that you did not personally earn. It is a bonus shared by all users, and therefore anyone can redeem it. When this happens, the available amount decreases — but your personal earnings are never touched or reset. Accusing the platform of being a scam just because you did not understand this mechanism is not only incorrect but also unfair towards the community and the team working behind it. Everything is explained clearly on the platform itself and repeated in several places, including the FAQs. If you are not willing to take a few minutes to understand how it works, then it might not be the right place for you. But please do not spread false claims about a system that is completely transparent and that thousands of users use correctly every day.
Excellent survey site.. I hope they add a Visa card as a withdrawal option
Very good survey site, but really needs to improve on the payment methods and add more user friendly features.
Lowest paying site ever,can take weeks to get anywhere,cash every click lol,no it's not,try somewhere else don't waste ones time
I really loved this its pays instantly
I like the payouts and the fact that no personal data is required. Just wish the survey experience itself was smoother some surveys feel long or glitchy. Overall a good experience and I’ll keep using it.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We hear you on the survey experience. Since the surveys come from different providers, the quality can vary, but we’re actively working to improve this by filtering out glitchy or overly long ones when possible. Thanks again for being part of Mada!
“I did not understand right away what I’m earning and what is community pot. This might need to be explained better? But, I appreciate staying anonymous and I would recommend because surveys here pay more than other providers.”
Thank you so much for your feedback. You're right: understanding how personal earnings and the community value work together can be a bit confusing at first. We’ve been working to improve our FAQs and in-app explanations to make this much clearer for new users.
I started using Madai just for quick surveys, but then noticed my balance went up even when I wasn’t doing anything. Turns out the system adds extra rewards from the community activity. Never seen that on any other survey site. Cool idea!
Thanks! We’re really glad you noticed that public bonus effect. We named in Crowdrewarding it’s one of the things that makes Madai special. Stick around… there’s more coming! 🚀
Where do I start,surveys pay between 4p and 20p for 15-20 ,earn amazon with every click it says which doesn't happen,exact same surveys on other sites pay 50p plus,I done 10-15 surveys for the grand total of 3.18 which is usd not£,then got sent 2 invalid amazon codes which I typed in correctly and sent them screenshots,stay clear people
We strongly object to this review, even in its revised form, as it continues to make false and misleading claims — particularly regarding the alleged “invalid Amazon codes.” ➤ You received two valid Amazon.com USD gift codes, correctly delivered to the email you used. These were working codes, as confirmed by our provider. The issue arose solely because you attempted to redeem them on Amazon.co.uk, which is not compatible. This was clearly stated on our platform, in our FAQs, and in the confirmation email — including the Amazon.com redemption URL. ➤ Despite your error, we still sent you a third gift card for £3 on Amazon.co.uk — more than your total earnings. This code was also successfully delivered and never mentioned in your review. ➤ Your claim of receiving two “invalid” codes is provably false and damaging to a reward-based business like ours. We’re happy to provide full documentation of all communications and gift card deliveries to any interested party. While we fully support open feedback, we will defend ourselves against false claims. We stand by the quality and integrity of our service — and invite users to experience it directly.
I would have given a 5 star but what brought me down to 3 star is the reward system. The amount of dollars allocated to each survey is below average and very poor compare to other survey sites who values their members. Please I will suggest you guys work on the rewards, I can't be spending my quality time giving honest response for about 20 minutes for a survey and given just 0.22 cents, that's really bad. This reward system has actually discouraged me from further participating in survey from your site.
Hi Anna, Thank you for your feedback and we truly hope you’ll still enjoy redeeming the rewards you’ve already earned with us. That said, we’d also love the chance to explain a bit about how Madai works behind the scenes. Unlike most survey platforms that show users a list of “high-reward” surveys (which often lead to failed attempts or disqualifications), Madai works differently. Our model focuses on finding the best real-time match between your profile and the hundreds of thousands of available surveys at any given moment with one main goal: Making sure you can actually complete a survey every time you try, not just browse options. This approach takes time to optimize and may not show its full potential right away. But users who stay with it typically see more consistent completions and better results over time. Also thanks to our Community Pot that again is designed to provide users the best experience possible, even in the case of low survey rewards. In fact, Madai has been independently recognized for paying an average of 4 times more per completed survey than traditional platforms thanks to our hybrid model of personal and community-based earnings. Your experience may simply reflect a moment where only one matchable survey was available and while the reward might have been low, it was at least fully completable. We hope you’ll give it another try and if anything feels off, our chat support team is always here to help improve your experience. Thanks again for helping us grow.
Love madai team
Thank you so much for the love! ❤️ We’re thrilled to have you with us. More great things to come!
Harder time to earn as a new member i did complete but was said at the end dashboard was sort of technical error i was not compensated, i am truly disappointed for Madai would be wise not to use spectrum survey i would recommend if you had used Yoursurvey provider they have less technical issue
Hi. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and completely understand your frustration. We know that the survey industry, as it exists today, is deeply flawed, especially for users like you who participate in good faith. It's a system that too often exploits users' time, provides little transparency, and is driven by outdated logic and data-harvesting models. That’s exactly why Madai was created: to improve the survey experience and move away from outdated models that collect personal data indiscriminately and often disrespect user privacy. Right now, we’re integrated with providers that offer tens of thousands of surveys daily. Our technology selects less than 5% of them, aiming to filter out low-quality or problematic ones, like the one you unfortunately encountered. While we're not perfect yet, we're constantly improving, and we know this process will take time, trust, and collaboration from users like you. In the coming months, we’ll be introducing a survey scoring system, where users can help us evaluate survey quality and be rewarded for it. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via live chat. We’ll do our best to help you make the most of your Madai experience. On a separate note, we completely understand your disappointment. As you rightly pointed out, your 2-star review was aimed at the survey provider, not at Madai itself. Unfortunately, though, this rating directly impacts Madai, a platform that’s working in good faith to protect users and improve the system, not exploit them. We sincerely hope you’ll consider revising your review. Your voice matters and your support helps us grow stronger, and better.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying Madai and that you find it trustworthy, that means everything to us. We’re working hard to make the experience even better, and your support truly keeps us going!
The website is a scam, it erases my gains at the end of everyday.
Hi there and thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry for the confusion. Because Madai doesn’t collect personal data up front, we track guest rewards via your browser session, so individual earnings won’t carry over if you switch browsers or devices while community bonuses (CrowdRewarding™) remain intact. Right after your first survey, we suggest registering with your email so your personal rewards stay tied to your account and never get lost. We’re a small team of passionate creators committed to building the best, most transparent survey experience, definitely not a scam. If you decide to register, you’ll see your full balance protected, and we hope you’ll consider updating your review once you’ve had a smoother experience. Thank you for giving Madai a try!
This is amazing. I tried this site and got paid.
