Get paid while texting your friends.
Textly is a messenger that pays for answers. A short poll arrives every day, and each answer pays up to 50 cents.
01 The bet
Brands already pay for answers.
Companies want to know what people think before they spend a budget. They have always bought that through panels, street interviews and pop-ups. Most of the money stays with the panel company.
Panels also pay on completion. A person gives twenty minutes to a questionnaire, gets screened out and is paid nothing. Textly pays per answer instead. A poll is one question and one tap, and the answer is paid the moment it is sent.
02 What it is
One question a day, in the app people already open.
- Polls
- Up to 50 cents an answer The poll arrives in the Textly thread. Each one shows what it pays before you tap.
- Streak
- 14 in a row Answering 14 polls in a row without missing one raises the rate by 10 percent. It climbs up to 50 percent.
- Payout
- Cash out from €5 Paid out by the routes available in each country. Textly pays the fees. The verified phone number is the account.
- Messenger
- SMS and MMS Textly replaces the SMS app the phone came with. Scam links are caught before you tap them, and the reason is shown in a sentence.
- Privacy
- On the phone Textly receives the answers to the polls. They reach the brand without a name or number attached. Messages stay on the device.
03 Its role in the portfolio
The surface people open every day.
Messaging is the one app people open without a reason. A question asked there gets answered in a tap. That makes Textly the cheapest place we have to reach people every day, and the strictest test of what belongs there. An inbox that annoys you is gone the same week.
Paying per answer also puts a limit on us. One question cannot quietly grow into a questionnaire. See The system for how the three fit together.
