As a person who has a strong interest in making money online, I took the advantage of the COVID-19 lockdown and during this period I tested out one more well known passive income app — [Honeygain](https://www.honeygain.com/).

**I had three goals to reveal with this test about Honeygain:**

🤓To understand IF it really pays money
🤓HOW money is being processed
🤓HOW MUCH it’s possible to earn.

I believe the majority of readers are here only to know the main fact if Honeygain is legit — so yes, it is. But if you’re here to know all the hidden secrets about Honeygain and the way it works, let’s deep dive into my review and we’ll reveal all the answers and hints together.

**Honeygain App — What’s That?**
Here I’d like to start by explaining that I found out about Honeygain app on Reddit, on a very popular community — [r/beermoneyuk](https://www.reddit.com/r/beermoneyuk/). It’s full of ideas about how to make money online from apps to online surveys, freelancing ideas, blog-writing, and etc. In addition, a big Youtube channel Beer Money Forum that reviews different money making options also made a [review about Honeygain app](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouTRduYuqFMthat) raised my curiosity even more.

To continue, let’s define what this app is all about. So Honeygain is one of the options to make money online without putting much effort on it. It’s one of the passive income apps that helps to get additional income by sharing the unused Internet traffic. You install the app, leave it running in the background of your laptop or smartphone when you’re spending time online and that’s all. I browse the Internet, I use Google, I play GTA online, I watch *Money Heist* on Netflix, I watch videos on Youtube about how to learn using Photoshop — by doing this usual daily routine stuff online, I tend to get paid by Honeygain. To summit, here are 5 things that I understood by using HG:

🤓It’s free
🤓Easy to install and use
🤓No effort is needed (totally passive)
🤓Suitable for Android, Iphone, Mac, Windows
🤓Available on multiple devices

Those strong aspects attracted my interest, although the most important question was — does it really pay? So let’s move on to get the answer.

**How Do I Get Paid With Honeygain?**
What I do appreciate is that they’re being direct — they clearly explain the part of how money is being generated. Honeygain provides proxy services to third parties like data scientists, Fortune 500s, and other businesses. As it’s written on their [official site](www.honeygain.com): “Honeygain is an app that lets you basically “rent” out your excess internet data to companies for crowdsourced information processing, brand protection campaigns, SEO monitoring, ad-fraud prevention, enable streaming and many other uses”.
So we, as users, aren’t about offering our excess data for free. Users share their unused internet traffic with companies that need it to perform their tasks online and that’s where Honeygain comes in — it [helps users to get paid](https://www.honeygain.com/post/paypal-payouts-step-by-step-instructions) from the companies that use their data.

**How Much Did I get?**

Having in mind that I installed Honeygain at the end of March, I got my first payout of 20.46$ after 19 days. It’s important to mention that I used the bonus code that gave me 5$ free and helped to reach the payout faster. From time to time Honeygain releases some coupon codes that give 5$ for all the new users. So the latest coupon code, the one that I used is “[WELCOME](https://dashboard.honeygain.com/sign-up)” so if you’re about to join, I do recommend taking these 5$ free to motivate yourself. Honestly, this motivated me a lot because it’s completely different to start from 5$ rather than 0$.

To continue, after 23 days from my first payout, I got the second one, and now I’m in the middle of the third. Taking into consideration the amounts of my earnings, I can say that it’s possible to make 25–30$ a month.

**[Is It Safe?](https://honeygain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011188699-What-user-data-do-you-colect-and-is-it-safe-to-use-)**

As I have been using it for almost two months, I didn’t notice any suspicious activity. This topic goes close together with the fact that Honeygain is being direct and they don’t hide the process of how income is being generated. The company doesn’t keep any of your personal data on their servers, so all your data is secured and kept private. Moreover, it is possible to turn off the data sharing on any device at any time.

**Other useful information**

🤓Honeygain had a rule that users can have max 3 devices on a single IP address. A week ago they [changed it to max 2](https://www.facebook.com/honeygainapp/photos/a.2262184230542570/2986707078090278/?type=3&theater) which means that there’ll be less farmers what’s a great advantage for ordinary users.
🤓[Referral program](https://honeygain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/sections/360003395039-Referral-questions) — if you invite your friends to sign up for an account and your friends start sharing internet bandwidth with Honeygain, 10% of their daily earnings will be added to your account.
🤓Be aware if you have a limited data plan each month because the app will make a huge use of it. It’s better to use Honeygain at home when you have a wifi connection around. This will save you from running out of your mobile data plan.

**The Final Word**
Taking into consideration the fact that it was a test and I had three questions that I needed to answer, I can bravely say that I made it successfully. First of all, I made a clear explanation of how Honeygain works, how the income is being processed. Also, as I got the payout, I can confirm that it really pays real money and my average earnings are 25–30$ a month. So I confirm once again that Honeygain is legit and safe so if you’re about to join, [take the advantage of a 5$ bonus](https://r.honeygain.money/welcome). I hope you’ll find my review useful. Happy earnings!
