Sweatcoin is a UK-based walking rewards app that compensates you with digital currency (Sweatcoins) that can be exchanged for free trial offers, discounts on physical products, raffle entries and charity donations. In addition to accumulating Sweatcoins by walking, you can also earn by watching ads and referring friends. And, by validating your steps in the Sweatcoin app, you can also earn $SWEAT, a crypto token.
Yes. Sweatcoin is a legitimate get paid to walk app, though many users argue that its best days are in the past. As of March 2025, Sweatcoin has more than 187 million users around the world, with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating in the App store and a 4.2 out of 5 star rating in Google Play. But the ratings have been on the decline, as the app currently offers very modest rewards (mostly discounts or free + shipping offers from Sweatcoin partners), except perhaps for users who refer a lot of friends.
According to its Privacy Policy, you must be 13 years of age or older to use the Sweatcoin app.
According to the Sweatcoin app’s Terms & Conditions, “Sweatcoins are units of exchange that users of the app may generate through verified physical movement…. Sweatcoins may be used to get certain benefits that are offered via the App.” As of this writing, Sweatcoin users earn 1 Sweatcoin for each 1,000 steps, up to 10 Sweatcoins per day.
Note: The Sweatcoin app stops generating Sweatcoins on your mobile device if you don’t open the app for 30 days. Generation of Sweatcoin re-starts when you next open the app.
A Sweatcoin Influencer is someone who has referred at least 20 other people to the Sweatcoin app. You can earn extra cash by becoming a Sweatcoin influencer; to gain access to the influencer hub (and to begin redeeming cash rewards) you need to refer at least 20 unique users.
With Sweatcoin Premium your steps earn Sweatcoin 2x as fast as the free version and there is no limit to the number of Sweatcoins you can earn. You can also activate 2x and 3x “boosts,” and the app’s Marketplace shows you Premium offers and auctions.

As of this writing, Sweatcoin premium costs $4.99 a month ($59.88 per year) after a 7-day trial. Or you can save 58% by committing to a year-long subscription, which costs $24.99 per year after a 7-day trial.
$SWEAT is a cryptographic token created by The Sweat Foundation Ltd., which owns and operates the Sweatcoin app. $SWEAT can be minted (earned) by validating your steps in the Sweatcoin walking rewards app. It can also be earned in Sweat Wallet (a so-called hot wallet) by completing lessons and using the app’s ‘Spin to Win’ functionality, among other methods.
According to the Sweat Wallet’s FAQs, “$SWEAT is native to the NEAR blockchain and needs to be bridged before it can be sent to Ethereum or any other blockchain. Never send your $SWEAT from the Sweat Wallet to an address on any other chain or you will lose it.”
$SWEAT had its official launch on September 12, 2022.
The main way to earn $SWEAT is to have the Sweatcoin and Sweat Wallet apps downloaded and walk between 3,000 and 10,000 steps per day (or 20,000 per day if you are a Sweatcoin Premium user). As of this writing, one $SWEAT coin is worth $0.0049. You can check the current price on sites like CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko.
Note: Sweatcoins are not the same as $SWEAT tokens but you can exchange Sweatcoins for the tokens. $SWEAT cannot be used in the Sweatcoin marketplace, but can be used in the Sweat Wallet app, which has its own rewards program.
– Put it into a “growth jar” in the Sweat Wallet to generate earnings and access new rewards
– Sell $SWEAT on the open market
– Exchange it for other crypto assets
– Participate in governance votes (token holders have voting privileges)

If your goal is to use one or more walking rewards apps to earn cash or gift cards, then probably not. Better options include: GeoSmile, Cashwalk, WeWard and Million Steps/Steps Money. But the ability to earn $SWEAT (by using Sweatcoin in conjunction with the Sweat Wallet), could be intriguing to some, as it’s a way to earn crypto by doing little more than walking.
