Panelplace review: what it is and how it works

What Panelplace is

Panelplace is run by PanelPlace International Pte. Ltd., based in Singapore. The site works as a directory: members browse categories such as paid surveys, gig economy work, rewards programs, courses and finance tools, and sign up with the individual products listed there.

The site states that it is free for users because brands pay Panelplace when it sends them traffic or sign-ups. Some of the products listed on the marketplace are free to join, while others require a subscription or a one-time payment, so each listing needs to be checked on its own.

How members earn through Panelplace

Panelplace does not pay survey rewards itself. Earnings come from the individual survey panels, gig platforms or rewards programs a member joins through the marketplace, and each one runs its own surveys and pays under its own rules.

Panelplace also has a referral program and other listed activities that can add allowance to a member's Panelplace Allowance Wallet in selected countries. A referral only counts once the referred person signs up, verifies the account and completes a qualifying transaction with a listed product within a set window that the merchant confirms.

The wallet allowance is used as a subsidy on a purchase started through Panelplace. It is not a cash payout for survey work.

How it pays and who can join

Because Panelplace is a directory, it does not collect payment details from members for surveys. The help center says the listed survey panels themselves reward members in different ways, such as PayPal cash, cheques, shopping or dining vouchers and coupon codes, depending on the panel.

The Panelplace Allowance Wallet, where it is offered, works differently: wallet allowance is redeemed as a subsidy on a purchase made through a product listed on Panelplace, not withdrawn as cash. Panelplace does not publish which countries get the wallet or referral allowance, or the size of the referral allowance.

Joining Panelplace itself is free. Anyone aged 13 or over can register according to the help center, though the terms note that age and location requirements can vary by the individual website listed, and a member needs to live in a country on Panelplace's registration list.

Panelplace vs. PocketsFull

Panelplace and PocketsFull work differently: one is a directory of other earning products, the other runs its own surveys and offers directly.

How PocketsFull differs

PocketsFull is an online rewards site where members take paid surveys and complete offers directly, rather than being routed to outside panels. A completed survey or offer adds its reward straight to the member's balance on PocketsFull.

PocketsFull also has a separate free-games section for fun, with no download or sign-up, though those games do not pay rewards. Joining PocketsFull is free, and there is never a deposit or a payment required to earn.

How PocketsFull pays

Gift card choices depend on where you live, so the list you see may include local brands. PayPal and Litecoin are also listed on the redeem screen.

Panelplace's payment methods, such as PayPal cash, cheques or vouchers, come from the individual survey panels it lists rather than from Panelplace itself, and PocketsFull does not offer cheques as a payout option.
