FREE RESOURCE LIBRARY

PAID
OR
PLAYED

Will you get paid, or are you being played?

Another week, another app, platform, or program promising an easy way to make money.

We check the claims, pricing, fine print, requirements, and real-world experiences to find out what's actually being offered, what it could cost you, and what the post conveniently left out.

No hype. No recruiting pitch. No filter.

Four categories. 9 audits and counting. New breakdowns added at least twice a month.

Get Cast / Get Work

Casting sites, freelance marketplaces, creator job boards, and platforms promising access to paid work. We look at what it costs to get in, what opportunities are actually available, and whether the potential payoff makes sense.

Create With AI

AI avatars, video generators, voice tools, digital-person platforms, and the growing list of tools people claim can help you create content or make money. We separate what the technology can actually do from what social media says it'll do for your bank account.

Build & Run It

Tools, platforms, and resources designed to help you build, launch, manage, automate, and grow what you're creating. We look at what they do, what they cost, and whether you actually need them.
