Sweatcoin is a fitness app that tracks your steps and exercise then pays in rewards. While there is no direct way to cash out you coins on Sweatcoin, you can cash out using rewards. However, the rewards that give you real money via PayPal or Amazon are rare. Yes 🎉 I can verify that Sweatcoin 100% pays you in real cash. That’s not vouchers, gift cards or subscriptions but cash you take take to any shop you like and spend. However, I’ll say it’s not easy to qualify for Sweatcoins cash rewards. But then, this is an app you leave running on.

If you are looking for easy ways to earn money online, chances are you have heard about the SweatCoin app. Apparently all you have to do is download the app, create an account and start walking to earn “Sweat Coins.”

But you may have asked yourself (as I did) ;

What is Sweatcoin?
How do you earn them?
Can you earn Sweatcoins by biking?
Is it free to join Sweatcoins?
How do you redeem them?
Does the Sweatcoin app drain your battery?
Can you cheat the system and earn extra sweatcoins?
How much money is a sweatcoin actually worth?

Let’s answer that last question first and get back to the other questions later.

A Sweatcoin is a unique cryptocurrency that is “mined” by you walking. Based on the price of the merchandise available to buy with Sweat Coins, You need about 20-40 Sweatcoins to equal $1.00 (US). Which means a Sweatcoin is somewhere between 2.5 cents and 5 cents each.

To make the math easy in the rest of this post, I am going to say that every Sweatcoin is a nickle, but know if real-life it could be a bit higher or a bit lower depending on what you are buying with them.

To give you better perspective, Let’s answer some of the other questions to see if signing up for Sweatcoins is a good idea for you.

What is Sweatcoin?

Sweatcoin is an app that you can download on to most mobile devices. The premise is that the app will track your steps during the day and pay you in their own cryptocurrency, Sweatcoins.

These coins can be used to purchase real-world items ranging from trips to headphones to action cameras.

How do you Earn Sweatcoins?

Sweatcoins are earned by walking and having your phone with you so that the Sweatcoin app can track how far you walk. The app uses a combination of your phone’s accelerometer and GPS to determine distance walked. The distance is measured in steps on the Sweatcoin app.

In the past only “outside” steps have counted, but Sweatcoin is now allowing steps you take inside to count. It is important to note that you only receive 65%-90% of your steps. This is to account for accidental movement. It has been my experience, however, that steps taken outside, on a purposeful walk count very close to 100%. There are some real examples at the bottom of this post.

It takes about 1000 steps (half a mile) to earn 1 sweatcoin, and the app charges a 5% commission on each sweatcoin earned so you actually earn .95 of a sweatcoin for every 1000 steps. That’s around a dime a mile. Or, around 30 cents an hour. ( I walk about 3mph).

There are limits on the number of Swearcoins you can earn in a day, and a month. These limits are divided into 4 tiers. The app has a 5th tier coming soon, so stay tuned.

In addition to earning sweatcoins by walking, you also have the chance to earn sweatcoins by watching 3 daily ads. Your reward is a random reward that gives you any where from .5 sweatcoins to 20 sweatcoins per ad watched.

These extra sweatcoins do not affect the daily amount you can earn by walking. They are extra. So, theoretically, you could earn 5 sweatcoins by walking and another 75 from watching ads, for a day’s total of 80 sweatcoins.

This is best case scenario. In my case each ad on the first day gave me .5 sweatcoins each. So, don’t hold your breath waiting on a 25 sweatcoin bonus.

Can you Earn Sweatcoins by Biking?

According to Sweatcoin’s Terms of Service, you may not

“seek to generate Sweatcoins by any means other than your genuine physical movement”

This means that if you are exercising, whether that’s walking, biking, running or paddling a paddle board, then you are using “your genuine physical movement.”

But does it work?

Well, I took my phone with the Sweatcoin app running in the background and went for a twenty minute bike ride at a moderate pace (10-12 mph) and the app calculated my steps at 1700.

That comes in a bit short of the nearly 2000 I got from walking a mile in 20 minutes, but for me it’s close enough. So, Yes you may, according to the Terms of Service earn sweatcoins by biking, and it actually works in the real world.

*UPDATE* I took another bike ride. This one I went slower and I was granted almost NO steps. Once I sped up from 7mph to 11mph, the steps started adding up again (same as the first ride). So, keep that in mind. You can’t just take a leisurely bike ride and have steps added.

Also, keep your phone in your pants pocket, not in a basket on your bike.

Is it Free to Join Sweatcoins?

Absolutely. The only cost to you would be in sweatcoins if you wanted to have a higher earning potential as shown in the chart above.

How do you Redeem Sweatcoins?

There is no way to directly exchange sweatcoins for real money.

This is where Sweatcoin falls a little short, in my opinion, at least from what I’ve seen in the couple days I have used the app. Once you have collected a bunch of sweatcoins you can use them to buy merchandise or services or subscriptions, but not cash or gift cards. (I think you used to be able to, but not while I’ve been testing it.)

The subscriptions and services are more an advertisement, than anything else. For example:

I paid 0.99 SC, for an offer from Second Nature filters. The .99 Sweatcoins bought me 1 delivery of 2 home HVAC filters after I created an account, signed up for recurring deliveries, etc. But, I was able to cancel the subscription before my card was charged, so I could have gotten 2 filters for the price of walking a half a mile or $.05. (One time offer only)

But obviously this is just to get you to join their service. Not something you could buy with every .99 sweatcoins you earn.

But wait, there are some things worth buying with your sweatcoins. Here are two examples:

First, you can redeem 8999.99 sweatcoins (let’s just call it 9000) for a 4k action camera by OCLU with a retail value of $299. (I verified this on Amazon).

That makes the sweatcoins worth about 3.3 cents each. At that value and at the highest earning tier, it would take you about 409 days (assuming you earn the max each day walking and get a total of 2SC every day for watching ads)

The second example is redeeming your sweatcoins for trips. These trips (Disney World, Paris, Finland) can be purchased for around 20,000 Sweat Coins, so you are looking at spending at least 2 years earning enough coins to pay for them.

The trips come with the stipulation that you film yourself having fun and that SweatCoin can use the footage for advertising. That being said, A 5 day trip to Disney World paid for by walking is still a nice incentive to get out and move. (and great advertising for the Sweatcoin app)

Does the Sweatcoin app Drain your Battery?

In the three days that I have used Sweatcoin, and had it running in the background of my phone the whole time, It used about 7% of my battery each day.

Can you Cheat the Sweatcoin System?

You can try, and YouTube is full of “hacks” that don’t work. Know this. It is against the Terms and Conditions, obviously, and if caught, your account will be closed and you will be banned. Depending on the severity, there could also be legal consequences.

As far as sitting on the couch and shaking the phone, that really doesn’t work. I tried, and according to the Terms of Service, you must use “genuine physical movement”, which I was doing by shaking the phone. The app algorithm knows that I am not walking and does not credit me for the steps.

Bottom line…Just go for a walk.

Sweatcoin Trouble Shooting

I had a few glitches with the app and all were fixed by “force stopping” the app and restarting. It is also suggested that you can uninstall and reinstall the app
