Nielsen MobileySense
Nielsen Mobile

Being in business for decades, Nielsen has their operations down pat. If you encounter a problem you can email or call. You should expect little to no delay in response to your query.

ySense

Having been around since February 2007, ySense (formerly Clixsense) has one of the top customer service teams. They resolve all payout issues quickly and are known for their speedy replies.

Nielsen Mobile

Unfortunately, while installing Nielsen Mobile is easy money, they are only accepting certain groups, at least for the time being. If you're a tablet user, you simply have to be 18 or older. For smartphone users, the company is currently only accepting members 45 or older. These requirements may change as Nielsen's demographic needs shift.

ySense

The only issue with ySense is a fair amount of survey disqualification. Thankfully there are a ton to take, but many users report repeated disqualifications.

Nielsen MobileySense
Nielsen Mobile

Nielsen PC and Mobile
won't earn you a ton of money, but you won't have to do much of anything to get your $50 in yearly rewards. If you like passive income, this program is ideal.

You can install this app with confidence as Nielsen has an impeccable reputation. They're simply trying to do for mobile device usage what they've done for TV ratings. The company has an extensive privacy policy to allay privacy fears. They simply want to know what you're watching on your mobile device.

In short, there's very little, if any, downside to trying this app. Users have reported no slowdowns in their devices and no privacy breaches. If for some reason you don't like it, it's a one-click uninstall.

If you fall into the demographic that is currently being accepted, there's no reason you shouldn't give Nielsen Mobile a try!

ySense

ySense won't pad your bank account like a $100 focus group, but they offer a number of ways to earn including the ability to make money just for browsing the web, watching videos, performing search task and of course surveys.

With strong customer service and cash payouts, there's no reason not to give ySense a try. It might not be for everyone, but the no minimum cashout threshold in addition to instant payments make this an attractive program for those who need money fast.
