🕵️♀️ Why I Tried These Apps
Like many people looking to make money online, I was curious about apps that promise cash for reading the news. Both BuzzBreak and NewsBreak popped up with tempting offers: “Read headlines. Earn money.” Sounded easy, right?
I spent 7 days using both apps — checking news, watching ads, and collecting points. Here’s what really happened.
📱 What BuzzBreak Promised
BuzzBreak is a popular app that rewards you for doing simple things:
- Reading news articles
- Checking in daily
- Watching ads
- Referring friends
The app uses a points system, where 1,000 points equals around $0.01. That sounds low because… it is.
⏳ Time Spent vs. Rewards
After 5 days of consistent use (at least 1 hour per day), I earned around $0.26.
I watched over 60 ads, clicked through a dozen low-quality articles, and invited 3 friends. The payout was painfully slow, and the ads were constant. BuzzBreak felt more like an ad-viewing platform than a reading app.
📰 What About NewsBreak?
NewsBreak is better known for local news. Unlike BuzzBreak, it’s more focused on delivering actual news — but they also introduced a “creator rewards” and referral system.
You don’t get paid for reading news here. But you can earn if you:
- Become a content creator and publish articles
- Refer users who engage with the platform
🧾 My Experience
I tried joining as a creator. They require approval, and your articles must follow strict guidelines. Once accepted, you can earn from ad revenue — but only if your content gets enough views.
After 7 days, I didn’t get accepted as a creator, and as a normal user, I earned $0.00. Nothing.

🧠 Final Verdict
If you’re trying to earn passive income from your phone, neither BuzzBreak nor NewsBreak is a magic solution.
- BuzzBreaktechnically pays, but you’ll spend hours watching low-quality ads for pennies.
- NewsBreak doesn’t pay regular users — only creators get a cut, and that’s if they get approved.
🚫 My Honest Take
Don’t expect to make real money from reading news apps. If you want to get paid for reading or writing, you’re better off using:
- Medium Partner Program (for writers)
- Read.cash (for crypto users)
- InboxDollars or Swagbucks (at least they’re legit)
