15 Best Apps to Save, Earn & Manage Money
I use a variety of smartphone apps to earn money, save money and better manage money. Using a combination of these apps I manage to earn £10-100 a month, claim 100’s of freebies and track every aspect of my finances.
Being able to earn, save and manage money from my smartphone is very convenient. With everything being on my phone I can check my bank balance while on my daily commute, earn money on my dinner break, and save money every time I shop.

Top 5 Money Making Apps
Field Agent
Field Agent is a mystery shopping, audit type app. The most common tasks you get assigned on the Field Agent app include visiting and reviewing shop displays. You can earn anything between £4-15 per task, most tasks will take yo around 10 minutes to complete. You’ll also be entered into cash giveaway (usually £25-£250) for completing surveys via the app.
I’ve earned over £100 through Field Agent! You can request payment straight to your bank, this is usually processed within a week.
Influence
Influence (formerly Voxpopme) is a video survey app that pays you to record yourself sharing your opinion of a question or ad. The recordings need to be of your face and last for a minimum of 15 seconds.
You’ll earn at least 25p per recording (sometimes more if you qualify for brand based videos). Withdraw your earnings once you reach £10. This is another app that has earned me over £100.
Attapoll
AttaPoll is a survey app that pays you to complete easy surveys on your phone. The surveys are fairly regular, and while it’s small change it can quickly add up. I’ve made just over £30 from the Attapoll app now
You can earn 10p-£2 per 5 minute survey. Withdraw your earnings once you reach £3 directly to your PayPal account. You can also boost your earnings by referring friends and family.
BeMyEye
BeMyEye is a task-based app that pays you to complete easy audits such as identifying coffee machines, taking pictures of creative sales displays & uploading receipts. Tasks are very regular, especially for those living near to a lot of shops.
Earn between £2-£8 per task – the tasks take less than 10 minutes. You can request payment once you’ve earned £5. I’ve now earned oner £150 from the BeMyEye app. For each task you complete, you also gain XP; the higher your XP the more perks you get!

Each receipt you upload through SnapMyEats is worth 20p, once you upload 5 receipts you are rewarded with £1 credit. Once you reach £10 you can withdraw your earnings as a gift card.
Top 5 Money Saving Apps
Airtime Rewards
Airtime Rewards is a cashback app that offers cash rewards every time you shop at one of their selected retailers. In order to earn cash you need to connect your payment card(s). You can then use this money to pay your next phone bill!
Airtime Rewards is my favourite money saving app. It’s a super easy, effortless way to cut the cost of your phone bill. Earn 50p for every friend you recommend too. Use code D4E3EPAA for a 50p bonus when you sign up.
Shopmium
When you download the Shopmium app you get access to free and discounted food and drink. Once you download Shopmium you’ll see the range of offers available to you, you then buy this when you’re next in store and claim the money back through the app.
You can combine these offers with coupons, mystery shopping or other cashback apps to make a profit from buying freebies. You can also refer your friends to join Shopmium for bonus credit.
TopCashback
Cashback is an absolute must for anyone looking to save money. TopCashback is my favourite cashback website and app. When you shop through TopCashback they get commission for referring you to the retailer, they then reward this back to you as cashback.
You can find out how I earned over £1000 from TopCashback here!! The TopCashback app is brilliant for saving money when you’re shopping via your phone.
Green Jinn
The Green Jinn app works almost identically to the Shopmium app. Green Jinn offer a range of free and discounted food items, the only difference to Shopmium is that they exclusively focus on healthy food and drink.
Loyalty Apps
Loyalty apps are a brilliant way to maximise your savings when doing your regular shopping. Most major supermarkets offer some type of loyalty scheme and it’s worth taking advantage of these schemes and claiming the rewards you can.
I’ve earned money off my shopping, discounts and gift vouchers all through my local supermarket loyalty app.
Top Apps to Better Manage Money
Plum
The Plum app breaks down all of your finances, allows you to connect multiple bank accounts and cards to help improve your spending habits.

Chase is a money saving app offering an incredible 3.3% interest on savings (up to £85,000). Once you’ve signed up to Chase you can also get 1% cashback on every day spending and the option to earn 5% interest on a rounding up account.
Your Banking App
I think that it’s an absolute must to have mobile banking installed on your phone if you can. Depending on which bank you’re with you should be able to see a complete break down of everything coming it and everything going out – helping you to better manage money in your accounts.
It’s important to be familiar with your finances to prevent security issues and understand what and when you can afford to spend your money. It might now always be comfortable facing your finances head on but it’s better to tackle than sooner rather than later.
