If you told me last month that I could earn actual cash just by saying “yes” or “no” into my phone, I would have laughed, assumed you were joking, and moved on. Yet here I am, three days after discovering a bizarre new app called YesNoCash, $10 richer without typing a single full sentence.
It sounded too easy. Too suspicious. Too much like one of those scams that lure you in with a crazy headline before asking for your bank details. But after testing it for three solid days, I can confirm: this strange little app does pay, and it’s a fascinating look at how microtasks are evolving in 2025.
Let me walk you through exactly how it worked, what I learned, and why I think “yes or no” could be the weird future of casual online income.
How I Found the App
The discovery happened when I was scrolling through a forum dedicated to “lazy money” apps. A user had posted a screenshot of their YesNoCash balance — $47.20 — with the caption:
“Earned this while lying in bed. No typing. No surveys. Just yes/no questions.”
That caught my attention instantly. I’ve tested dozens of side-hustle apps — from ones that pay you to walk backwards to those that reward you for watching ants move across your screen — but I had never seen one this minimalistic.
The post claimed the app partners with market researchers who want quick, binary feedback from real users. Instead of filling out long questionnaires, you’re presented with simple yes/no questions on various topics — ads, products, social issues, and even random hypotheticals.
Day 1: Setting Up and First Impressions
I downloaded YesNoCash from the official app store (thankfully, it had solid ratings and no shady off-site downloads). Setup was quick:
- Sign up with an email and password.
- Select your region and age bracket.
- Agree to microphone access (for voice input) and camera (optional for some questions).
The interface was so clean it almost felt empty: a white screen, one large question in the middle, and two giant buttons — green “YES” and red “NO.”
My first question:
“Would you try a plant-based burger if it tasted like beef?”
I said “yes.” The app registered my response instantly, and my balance jumped by $0.05.
How Payments Worked
Every question was worth between $0.02 and $0.10, depending on the topic’s importance to the client. I later learned that companies pay more for questions tied to urgent campaigns — for example, a soda brand planning to launch a new flavor might pay higher rates for quick feedback.
The payout threshold was $10, and the app supported PayPal, bank transfers, and gift cards. Importantly, it promised no minimum daily question limit — you could answer as many as were available.
My First Hour: The Questions Got Weird
After a few product-focused ones (“Would you buy a shampoo that changes color based on temperature?”), the app started throwing in odder queries:
- “Do you believe plants can feel pain?”
- “Would you wear shoes made entirely from mushrooms?”
- “If given the option, would you live on Mars?”
It was bizarrely fun. It felt less like work and more like a mix between a personality quiz and a late-night conversation with a strange friend.
By the end of my first hour, I had earned $3.10 — far faster than I expected.
Day 2: Testing Different Answering Speeds
I decided to experiment with how I answered. Was there a time penalty? Would rapid-fire responses reduce my rate?
Turns out, the app wanted thoughtful answers — not because it could read my mind, but because it had an anti-bot timer. Each question stayed on screen for at least three seconds before you could respond. This made it impossible to just spam-click “yes” 200 times in a row.
I tried answering in the morning, during lunch, and late at night. Mornings had more product research questions, evenings had more lifestyle and opinion ones.
Earnings for the day: $4.25. Total so far: $7.35.
The Psychology of Yes/No Work
I realized something fascinating: reducing questions to yes/no strips away the mental fatigue of traditional surveys. Normally, market research apps burn you out with pages of open-ended questions. This app’s simplicity made it addictive.
There’s a certain dopamine rush in watching your balance jump with every click — no matter how small the amount.
And because the decisions are binary, you can answer them while cooking, commuting, or lying in bed without losing focus.
Day 3: Hitting the Payout
By my third day, I was in the groove. I’d wake up, answer 20 questions before even leaving bed, then keep the app open during spare moments.
My favorite question of the day was:
“If a robot wrote this question, would you care?”
I answered “no” — then immediately wondered if that was exactly what a robot wanted me to say.
By 8 p.m., I crossed the $10 threshold. I hit “Withdraw,” chose PayPal, and waited. Less than 24 hours later, the payment landed in my account. No hidden fees, no mysterious deductions.
Why Companies Love This Data
The real genius of YesNoCash isn’t the simplicity — it’s the speed. Traditional surveys can take weeks to get enough responses. Here, companies can push out a question and get thousands of yes/no answers within minutes.
That speed has value. Advertisers can tweak campaigns in real time, product designers can scrap bad ideas before wasting money, and political pollsters can get a quick read on public sentiment.
Downsides I Noticed
As much as I enjoyed the novelty, there are limitations:
- Question Availability — There were bursts of 20–30 questions, then hours of nothing.
- Regional Limitations — Some questions were geo-locked, meaning fewer earnings if you’re outside target regions.
- Privacy Concerns — Microphone access could be a turn-off for some users, even though the app claims it only listens during active responses.
Could You Make More Than $10 in 3 Days?
Definitely. I didn’t push myself — I averaged 30–40 questions a day. Some hardcore users reported earning $20–$25 in three days by answering every available question as soon as they appeared.
But here’s the thing: the charm of YesNoCash is that it doesn’t feel like work. I wouldn’t want to grind it nonstop, but as a side activity, it’s perfect.
My Funniest Moment
On day two, a question popped up:
“Would you buy an app that pays you for saying yes or no?”
I laughed out loud, hit “yes,” and instantly felt like I’d been caught in some weird marketing inception.
Tips If You Try YesNoCash
- Turn on Notifications — The app sends an alert when new questions drop. Answer fast before they expire.
- Answer Honestly — Some clients send follow-up questions to verify consistency.
- Don’t Ignore Higher-Pay Questions — Some can be worth $0.10 each, which adds up quickly.
The Verdict
YesNoCash is one of the simplest and least mentally draining money apps I’ve tested. You won’t get rich, but you will get paid for something that feels closer to a game than a job.
In a sea of complex side hustles, there’s something refreshing about earning cash from the oldest decision-making method in the world: saying “yes” or “no.”
