- (2025-06-30) Mark Taylor: seems a scam at first they was rewarding now hardly any rewards might have it investigated.
- (2025-06-02) kyle vallely: As of June 2025 weekly payments have stopped again. They were already paying you less and less for your data. Isn't worth the trouble
- (2025-04-23) Victoria Kimbrough: i thought the earnings would build up how much i stay online on my laptop but im yet and still at $1.08 and thats insane.
- (2025-02-21) Terry Nccune: fake you telling me I need a virty bank account from the US or UK. sorry to tell you but I do screw of scam artist
- (2025-01-23) Latoya Brown Mckoy: I would like for my information to be removed and deleted. It gave my computer a virus. I try deleting my information it does not give me the option to do so.
- (2025-01-05) Eliza: I was using a chrome extension called Surf and now they said they've shut down and that I have to download Datacy to continue but this isn't available for Canadians
- (2024-12-16) my guildbank: I gave this datacy app a try and thought it was a scam but it is not. It is the real deal but why does it earn so slow and why are there not so many choices to make earnings easier.
- (2024-12-06) Marcelo Villacorta: I have been using this for almost a year now and I am finally able to withdraw my first $30 through Paypal. Not bad for an app for passive earning. I want to say that earning is quite slow but at least something comes in a little at a time. Overall, the app pays out and works! Not bad!
- (2024-11-17) Ebbie Ward: Love datacy. I have been paid out for the first time. Ive been waiting to pay out again but waiting for yall to match me. Why cant yall just updte my data info so i can cash out.
- (2024-10-13) DEREK FORTUNE: i was on sunday but its collecting nothing its a slow earner i think they should pull there socks up the rewards are bad
- (2024-10-10) Kinka Jou: I give up with this. It's taken 9 months to earn $6. Granted I do use Edge a lot but I'm usually using both Edge and Chrome all day every day so it's ridiculously slow progress. What's your privacy worth? I don't know but suerly it's worth more than $10 a year. To balance things out I haven't noticed any negative side effects of having the extension installed and you can just forget about it and in 3 years time you can treat yourself to a coffee and piece of cake. Whoop Whoop! Sorry Datacy.
- (2024-08-24) Mz.T: I'm happy with the chrome extension app. Good job Datacy!
- (2024-08-13) Ron Voronenko: I have been use it great that works on different type browsers. I would rate 5.0 Customer service is fantastic on email and Discord that respond very quickly. But I the earnings can get very low in certain days. Very impressive and very interesting how much data is collected on each site. His would the best site if you would like to earn. His now my favorite extension I have right now.
- (2024-08-02) Stephanie Boyd: As someone who works on my computer all day, it takes forever to get to the $30 ands it has been spinning land loading and not revealing what the total is.
- (2024-07-20) that1sg: have been using datacy for over a year now, haven't earned anything but the starting $2
- (2024-07-18) Coach David Lubin: I am giving you a three. First of all Customer service is great, when I have a question the answer is given right away within a couple days if a tech issue occurs. The problem comes in recently and my thoughts are becoming not so thrilling. I attempted to make a withdrawal there was an issue Paypal. I deleted that option and resigned up as instructed. When making the attempt again my PayPal info was not showing up on their end correctly. 2. When I first signed up with Datacy I was earning $2.39 a day. Now over the past 3 weeks they updated my account 2 with less than $2 added. I used to get daily updates and now if I am lucky less than once a week. 3. Login is issues. I would love to go back to the beginning and leave you five stars. I really was aiming for 2 1/2 stars. Disappointed.
- (2024-07-14) Christopher Tigue: actually pays out fst
- (2024-07-12) Evan Kondo: Great product experience! I don't have to do anything other than surf the web. Datacy runs in the background and does the work for me. What a wonderful experience!
- (2024-07-11) Angela Hixson: I love that I can get paid while browsing the web and I love getting paid.
- (2024-07-11) Jane Johnston: It's a little slow-going for me because I don't always fit the criteria Datacy is looking for, but the extension has never interfered with anything else I've been doing in the browser, and they do pay out promptly when you reach the goal. It's worth keeping. You tend to forget it's even there.

- (2024-07-11) Michaelantonio Luckette: Quick & easy money!
- (2024-07-10) Deana Finley: Easy money! All you have to do is install the extension and use your browser like usual. Cash in $30 about once a month or even more if you're a big binge streamer like me!
- (2024-07-10) Nadine Frisch: super easy to earn money. it does take a while since its measured in cents not dollars but eventually you will earn $30 and at that threshold it goes into the account you want.
- (2024-07-10) Sherry Bracy: Datacy is easy ! Just download the extension, set your preferences and your done. I set up for auto payments. so far I recieved one payment. Im getting close to my second one! You can set it up to auto pay...which makes it easier yet, Its like set it and forget it mode!
- (2024-07-10) Rangerwriter's Music: Easy FREE money. Just setup and forget it. It makes about $150 a year and has direct deposit. $30 payout every 3-4 months for me.
- (2024-07-10) Mike Moore: Pretty simple. Set it and forget it. You must earn $30 before you can with draw. That takes anywhere from 1-3 months. Far more consistent than survey sites.
- (2024-07-10) JR TV: Very good app, it has helped me a lot.
- (2024-07-10) Angel Hernandez: You see your data go up but no payment for it. Takes a long time to get paid and reach the amount required
- (2024-07-10) Gabrielle Leanne: Datacy does what it's supposed to do. If there's a problem they will tell you and will work on it until it's resolved. I had one payout so far and even then it took awhile but in the end I did get paid the money through my PayPal without any issue. Yes, it does take awhile to reach the goal, but it is worth it. Just gotta be patient.
- (2024-07-10) LITONDO RAWLINGS: This is the most transparent platform when it comes to payment, nice working with them.
- (2024-07-10) Jerry Smith: I have to say that I was a bit sceptical in the beginning, but after my first payment went through without any problems, and now about my 3 rd one any day, my total earnings to date is $116+. Datacy is the front runner in data earnings and they are not looking back. It's not a lot of money, but it's not a little either. I wish the earnings was higher and hopefully in the future they can be. Datacy, Thank you, you have made a believer out of me and I hope others may find you as well. Jerry G. Smith A Datacy client.
- (2024-07-06) Nickolaus Pacione: Guys wow -- works well with Brave and Opera GX; my payouts from Brave go to the Cash.App account and the Opera and other Chromium browsers goes to PayPal. 🪔 this one app can help micropress publishers who want to see writers get paid when others are trying to do exposure-as-currency or charging those $1300-$13,000 just to have their name on a cover. This had with the payouts paid for my onn. tablets a few times over. Keep up the good work. I will be trying to get the word out when I can with this [another payout to the Brave.com attached version of this; so far so good.] Getting this on Microsoft Edge as the version linked to Brave -- you asked about what Chromium browsers I use outright, Opera GX and Brave. Mozilla-based being PaleMoon and Puma then with my cousin's Blurb account I have Falkon.
- (2024-06-26) Jim: Cons: If you pick Paypal you do not seem to get as much as you requested which makes it disappointed and you can not take the full earnings out. This take what seems like a life time to earn anything off certain websites just to make any profits. I simply wished there was more choices to earn more then this, but oh well. No mobile extension or way to earn from your mobile device. Pro: Free money.
- (2024-05-29) Luna: Suddenly shifted my earnings to $0 after I switched to a new PC even though I ensured all my account connections are up to date and have the same rate of data being harvested by the app.
- (2024-05-22) Ferry Sapari: Paypal Account never connect, Please Fix many try to connection but see account must be verified, my account is already verified this my email [email protected] please help admin
- (2024-05-16) Meti: Add Kosovo Country on list
- (2024-03-21) Anthony: It's a great way to collect your data and sell it but it is a third party and probably get a percentage. and I recently found out that I can contact data brokers myself and sell directly for a higher price but that comes with collecting and sorting the data yourself.
- (2024-03-18) Adilson Tuti: It's the best extension I've ever used, it's helping me a lot with my expenses, it's not much, but it's worth it.
- (2024-03-13) Maicon Gomes: It's the best I've ever seen, congratulations, it really works and really pays off, I've received it several times, it delivers what they promise.
- (2024-03-09) Meghan Holstine: This is quick and easy. I only check once in a while and I've gotten paid twice now! It's helping me build my savings by running in the background.
- (2024-03-07) Helena Louridas: i love it and im forgetful so this is actually a bit perfect for me so when i remeber i go and check and im always a bit surprised ill continue to use and absolutely recommend that you do too!
- (2024-03-07) Johnathan Arias: I have used this extension for a bit now and have gotten paid a couple of times, even at times if i had an issue with payments going through, they have worked with me and assisted me with getting paid.
- (2024-03-07) paul ryder: i have used datacy for a while now, it is a awesome app, so easy to use, and i have been paid from it a few times, yes a great app and happy i use it.
- (2024-03-07) alan peterson: i love datacy i have also cashed out twice i am almost to my 3rd one i figure if companies are going to get data anyway i would rather it be filtered through datacy and we all get money for it.i also live in a nursing home i get very little money so this has helped me be able to get some stuff i wanted.
- (2024-03-07) Tony Fontes: Datacy offers a seamless solution for taking charge of your online data privacy while also putting money back in your pocket. It's refreshing to have such transparency and control in today's digital landscape
- (2024-03-06) Stephy Richards (Stephy The Kitchen Witch): I've easily cashed out twice and honestly this is a really simple easy way to make money!
- (2024-03-06) Tinhoso Tutors: The Datacy extension for Google Chrome offers users the opportunity to be compensated for their online time by accumulating points that can be converted into money. Additionally, it promises to protect users' privacy by allowing them to control the sharing of their data and ensuring that their personal information is not sold without consent. However, users should be mindful of the extension's terms of use and privacy policy, as well as evaluate whether the rewards offered justify the exposure of their personal data.
- (2024-03-06) Steve Moser: Easy to use, you forget it's there until it pops up and says "You've earned $". Nothing you'll get rich from, but it'll make you a few dollars here and there. Payout is quick and simple.
- (2024-03-06) Raynan Cardoso: Hello, how are you? Datacy stopped paying in the Brazil region? I'm not getting any more
