Pay Your Selfie App Review: This Has To Be A Scam?
Pay Your Selfie is a brand new app that pays you to take selfies. It’s available on Apple and Android mobile devices so I thought I’d write a review to see if this app is real or a scam.
Basically the idea is to take selfies that meet the requirements of each task. This could be what you’re reading, with your best friend, or at the salon.
Overall the app seems to be legitimate, but I do have some complaints about the app, I’ll cover them all in this Pay Your Selfie App Review.
Pay Your Selfie App Review
App: Pay Your Selfie
Type: Paid To Take Pictures
Score: 3/5
In this Pay Your Selfie Review I gave them an okay score. From what I can see the app seems to be legitimate and it’s a pretty cool way to get paid, just for taking selfies.
Although it’s a cool way to earn, I do have some complaints about this app. I’ll cover them in detail later in this review, but for now know that it won’t be a huge income and it can be very hard to reach the minimum cash out amount.
I don’t think I highly recommend this app, but it’s a cool way to make money taking pictures.

Most of the selfies pay from $.10-$.50, but some pay $1 or more, but those have very specific requirements.

Pay Your Selfie Concerns & Complaints
What Do They Do With Your Photos?
Now this concern isn’t something we think about much, just because we share photos and information about ourselves on social media everyday. Really sharing photos of Paid Your Selfies is the same as putting them on any social network, but with that being said, I’m not sure what they do with these photos.
Just be aware that they will have access to the photos you take inside the app, and you can give access to your photo library. I probably would stay away from giving access to all of your photos if possible!
Not Enough Paid Projects
When you first join you’ll find 10-15 selfies for cash opportunities available, but it seems after you complete them, new projects come in slow.
The big issue with this is that it takes $20 to reach the minimum cash out amount, if you don’t have any photo opportunities it’s going to take forever to reach the cash out amount.
Although you can earn $5-$10 right of the bat, earnings will most likely slow down after completing the projects available right after joining.
Photos Not Approved
I haven’t had this happen to me, but there’s been some reviews in the app store that says people are taking photos that meet the requirements of the project, but after they’re reviewed money is taken off their account.
Of course I don’t have the evidence if the selfie actually met the requirements, but it kind of suck to know your selfies may not be approved. It could be that the selfies they took actually did not meet the requirements though, I have no way of proving this.
I’d say do your best to meet the requirements and most likely your photos will be approved, all of mine have so far.
Is Pay Your Selfie A Scam?
From what I’ve seen, Pay Your Selfie is not a scam. But there’s some complaints that I have with this app. The main one being it’s going to take awhile to reach the cash out amount.
With that being said, this app is very unique and it’s awesome you can get paid to take selfies.
