We usually cover one survey panel per article, but this time we decided to change this for a couple of reasons.

First, when you have two survey websites compared in one article, you don’t have to open a dozen different tabs. Also, it is much easier to compare two things when you have them in one place as you can clearly see all their advantages and disadvantages against one another.

Dive into this article to find out which website is right for you – PointClub or PanelPlace. Who knows, you may like both of them and register with them even today.

The basics

For the start, both of these websites deal with online surveys, but in different ways. While PointClub is a website where you can earn money by answering survey questions, PanelPlace is a sort of survey directory where you can find different survey panels to register with. There are also other opportunities that PanelPlace offers, but today we will focus only on the survey panels.

So, the main difference is the fact that PointClub has its own surveys, whereas PanelPlace sends you to other websites.

You can register on both sites very easily by providing basic information about yourself like name, email, and so on. Both sites are free and easy to join and they will never ask you for money.

How to earn

PointClub mainly offers online surveys, but it also provides you with other opportunities to earn money. When you sign up for this website, you can:

• fill out surveys

These surveys last anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes and the points you earn depend on the length and complexity of the survey. Each point you earn is worth $0.001, which means that 1,000 points equal $1.

• complete offers and promotions

If you like completing offers and product promotions, you will love PointClub.

• watch videos and play games

PointClub can take you on an interesting trip through their videos and video games.

• participate in weekly polls and contests

This panel organizes regular weekly polls and contests where you can earn various rewards.

In addition, registered members take part in their giveaways by default where they are eligible to win 10,00 points ($10) in daily sweeps giveaways. Winners are determined randomly each day.

On the other hand, PanelPlace recommends survey sites like Harris Poll, VIP Voice, American Consumer Opinion and more. If you want to take surveys, you need to join these panels by clicking links to their respective websites. Most of these sites require you to fill out an initial survey during the sign-up process in order to get a complete picture of you as their future panelist.

PanelPlace saves you the time you would otherwise spend on searching for money-making opportunities. They also notify you about available opportunities and provide you with better offers and personalized opportunities that match your profile. Once you complete surveys on the websites that PanelPlace recommends to you, your earnings will come directly from them, not from PanelPlace.

That being said, PanelPlace is more of a resource than an actual survey company, so earning opportunities will depend on the websites they recommend.

How to get paid

As you can see, on PointClub you can find various activities to earn money. Depending on the activity itself, your rewards will differ, but it is important to remember that you need to earn 1,000 points in order to make $1.

When it comes to payment, if you want to redeem your points for cash, PayPal is the only option you have. For a PayPal withdrawal, you will need to earn $50 ($50,000). But if you don’t want cash, you can always choose other options like gift cards, VISA prepaid cards, movie vouchers, retail e-vouchers and more. For each of these options, you will need $25 (25,000 points) to redeem.

When it comes PanelPlace, again, the cashout method will depend on the website you choose to register with and complete surveys on. But in general, you can count on cash payouts, gift cards, prepaid cards, and so on. Most survey panels offer the same types of rewards, so you probably won’t be disappointed with any of them, especially considering the panels we mentioned earlier in this article.

Are they legitimate?

To clear all your doubts right away, both of these websites are 100% legitimate. Both PointClub and PanelPlace are websites with a successful business history and a great number of members.

However, we do want to mention that some PointClub members have complained about the recent changes of some features, removing the Amazon gift card, long response and redeem time and more.

On the other hand, PanelPlace is only a middleman that connects you to survey panels, so there is practically nothing to complain about. You can become one of almost 6,000 people who shared social proof on this website to show that the panels they recommend are legitimate.

But even though there have been more complaints about PointClub, you should note that these two websites greatly differ, so there are many more things to complain about PointClub than about PanelPlace.

Still, the most important thing is that both of them are completely legitimate and safe to join.

Bottom line

The difference between PointClub and PanelPlace is more than obvious.

The former is another survey panel where you can earn money by completing surveys and offers, watching videos and playing games, as well as participating in polls, contests and giveaways.

PanelPlace, on the other hand, is a kind of survey panel directory – a website where you register to receive alerts on new survey websites that match your profile.

And while on PointClub you can directly receive new offers and redeem your rewards, PanelPlace can give you a long list of different websites that you can use in the same way like you would do with PointClub.

Even though there are a lot of differences between these two websites, they share a couple of important features: they are both legitimate and both can help you earn some cash from home.

So, in the end, it is up to you to decide which one you want to join. We recommend you to register with both of them since this will increase your chances to earn more money.
