Sweatcoin

    Sweatcoin is unique because it only pays you to walk OUTSIDE. This means walking on treadmills or walking around your your house don’t count. Sweatcoin is an achievement tracker for new generations, it converts your steps into a new digital currency called sweatcoins. Spend sweatcoins earned on goods, services and experiences with vendor partners or other users, donate to charity or exchange them with your friends and family for whatever you fancy. You can use Sweatcoin on your smartphone (Android or iPhone) and in your smartwatch (currently on Apple Watch, stay tuned for Android Wear compatibility). You need to take just one step to begin! 

All these 4 apps are available in play store and you can easily download it without any difficulty.

Best Apps that PAY You for Walking Outside India: 

Sweatcoin (Available on: iOS and Android)

    Like detailed in the above excerpt, this app lets you collect 'Sweatcoins' that can then be exchanged for real-life rewards in the app. You earn 0.95 Sweatcoins for every 1,000 outdoor steps you take (roughly half a mile). You can then use your coins to get discounts and sometimes free stuff from the app's store.

BetterPoints (Available on: iOS and Android):

    BetterPoints is similar to Sweatcoin in that you collect points for EXERCISING – in this case, walking, running or cycling. You can earn both BetterPoints and BetterTickets. BetterPoints can be collected and redeemed as vouchers at various high street stores, while BetterTickets enter you into a draw to win a bumper amount of BetterPoints. To start Learning, you simply head to the app and sign up for a program. For instance, one of their Rewards program, rewarded users with one BetterTicket for every mile completed, with the prize draw offering 5,000 BetterPoints every week.

Winwalk (Available on: Android)

    When using winwalk, you'll earn one winwalk coin for every 100 steps you take, up to 10,000 steps per day (100 coins). These coins can be used to redeem gift cards, like £10 at Costa (21,000 coins), £10 at Primark (21,000 coins) or £15 at Netflix (31,500 coins). That sounds like a lot of steps and, to be honest, it is. But unlike the other paid walking apps, where you also need to walk a long, long way to earn money, winwalk has a lottery feature

LifeCoin (Available on: iOS and Android)

    Similar to SweatCoin, LifeCoin rewards you with its own in-app currency which you can exchange for prizes. For every 1,000 steps, you'll earn 0.95 "LifeCoins". Unfortunately, you can only earn up to 5 LifeCoins per day by walking, unless you sign up to their Premium subscription (which isn't really worth it). You can, however, earn more LifeCoins by inviting your friends. While the prizes are pretty great, you have to save quite a few LifeCoins before you can cash them out. At the time of writing, prizes include a $50 eBay gift card for 2,500 LifeCoins and an Apple iPad Mini for 20,000 LifeCoins.

Charity Miles (Available on: iOS and Android)

    Charity Miles isn't an app for making money for yourself, but it instead lets you raise money for your favorite charities by moving – whether that's walking, running, dancing, riding your bike or something else. Simply select your charity when you sign up to the app, and for every mile you move, the app's corporate sponsorship pool will donate some cash. Better still, your friends and family can sponsor you too. You might not be making money for yourself, but you can feel good about the fact that your exercise is helping those in need.

Runtopia

    Runtopia is an app that encourages you to set exercise goals for activities such as running, walking and cycling. Every time you meet your goals, you’re rewarded with a bonus. The app is quite interactive, with training programs, warm-ups and cool-downs and even an audio coach. And the more goals and tasks you complete, the more “Sports Coins” you earn. Once you earn enough Sports Coins, you can redeem them for Paypal cash, memberships, products and discounts. Runtopia makes exercise a little more exciting!

Achievement

    The Achievement app allows you to make money from a larger range of exercises, ranging from cycling to swimming and of course, walking. You earn points for every activity you log into the app, and can also earn points by logging in your diet, your sleep, your weight and more. You can make a maximum of 80 points per day for exercise and 6 points for food logging. 

How much can you make? For every 10,000 points you earn, Achievement will pay you $10 – you can also choose to donate those points to charities. If you make the most of your points every day, it would take you 4 months to make $10, and about $30 in one year. The good part of this app is that you can connect it with other fitness trackers, or simply use the one on your phone. Achievement is a great app to leave sitting on your cell as you go about your daily tasks. Every once in a while you can check it and see how many points you’re making.

Higi

    Higi not only tracks your walking but also your overall health. You can input your body fat, blood pressure, weight and much more. Higi also has “health tracking stations” that are placed across the US in different pharmacies. The more you check into those stations and do exercise, the more rewards you can earn. Higi connects to any fitness tracker and your phone. Every month and week you’re offered specific challenges to complete that allow you to earn points for up to one mile of walking. You can then redeem those points for specific rewards such as discounts and sports gear. Although you do want to take note that you won’t be able to earn cash and the rewards will require you to purchase items, although you can also donate your points to charity.

Stepbet

   Stepbet works slightly differently: you get paid to walk by meeting your own step goals and collaborate with others. When you join the app, Stepbet will track your existing activity and create step goals that will encourage you to walk more than you do. You then join a game and make a bet (usually $40), which involves being active for four days and doing two “power” days per week. If you don’t meet your goals that week, you lose. If you do meet your goals, you split the entire amount contributed with other players! If you stick to the game and stay active every week, you’ll earn a few dollars more than you initially betted! Walking, running, and overall fitness can sometimes be boring to you or maybe you lack motivation.

FitPotato

    Another app that may interest you and pays you to walk or exercise is FitPotato. Here’s how the app works.  After you download the app, you can challenge friends and other FitPotato users to earn cash for steps. You can join a weekly prize group and complete 3 sessions in 7 days to win. From your challenges, whomever completes all 3 sessions by the end of week gets a share of the weekly prize. And if you are the only winner that week, you win the entire prize! Your options include choosing to walk, run, or even dog walking. It’s available for both iOS and Android.

EarthMiles

   EarthMiles is for employers to help engage their employees in wellbeing programs the company might be initiating. And employees are then financially rewarded for any wellbeing activities that includes mental, social, financial, and physical campaigns. It works by downloading the app for iOS or Android, joining the company initiative, and taking part in their campaigns. One of which can be various fitness programs like walking, running, biking, etc. As you earn more points, those can be redeemed for various rewards like discounts, health supplements, classes, and more. If you are looking to download a free app, this one probably won’t be for you unless your company utilizes EarthMiles or you own a business and find it interesting.

HealthyWage

    HealthyWage won’t pay you directly to walk, but it will encourage you to set and hit goals. If you do meet your goals, you’re then entered into a prize draw with a chance of winning $10,000! You can set the goals yourself, or work with a team to meet goals. If you want to get into the nitty-gritty on how much you could win, the HealthyWage Calculator can give you a good idea of your potential earnings. The more you check into those stations and do exercise, the more rewards you can earn.

Rover

    If you like walking and taking care of dogs and want to make some extra money on the side, Rover is the app for you! All you need to do is create an account through the app or online, search for dog owners in your area and reach out to see if anyone is looking for someone to walk their dog. With Rover, you could earn around $20 for a 30-minute walk with a dog. Not only could it make you more money, but it may make your walk a little more interesting!
