Reading news on your phone and getting paid for it? That’s the promise of Cashzine — an app that once went viral for offering easy money in exchange for reading and sharing articles.
But it’s 2025 now, and many users are wondering: is Cashzine still legit? Does it still pay? Or is it just a waste of time?
We tested the app ourselves and talked to real users in India. Here’s what we found.
What is Cashzine?
Cashzine is a news reading app that lets users earn coins by:
- Reading trending articles
- Sharing news with friends
- Logging in daily
- Referring others
The coins you earn can be converted into real money, which you can withdraw via PayPal or bank transfer depending on your country.
It’s available on Android and has over 10 million downloads, mostly from Southeast Asia and India.
How Do You Earn Money?
Cashzine uses a coin system. You read an article, scroll down slowly, and you earn coins based on how much you read. You can also:
- Invite friends to use the app
- Earn daily login bonuses
- Complete bonus tasks
1,000 coins ≈ ₹1.50
Minimum withdrawal: around ₹300 or $5, which equals 200,000 coins
This sounds like a lot, but daily reading + referrals can speed up your earnings if you’re consistent.
Is Cashzine Still Paying in 2025?
We tested a fresh account for 2 weeks in March 2025. Here’s the result:
- Daily reading: 3–5 articles gave us 1,000–2,000 coins/day
- Invited 3 active friends (extra 15,000 coins)
- Claimed daily bonus wheel and check-ins
Reached the payout threshold after 14 days.
✅ Requested a payout of $5 via PayPal
⏱ Payment received in 2 days
So yes — Cashzine is still paying, at least in India via PayPal. However, the coin value is not as high as it used to be. You need to be active and patient.
Pros and Cons
👍 Pros:
- 100% free, no investment needed
- Easy tasks: just read and scroll
- Pays via PayPal (global option)
- App is light and doesn’t drain battery
👎 Cons:
- Very slow earnings without referrals
- High withdrawal threshold
- Lots of ads inside the app
- Some articles are clickbait or low quality
User Reviews in 2025
We scanned recent Play Store reviews and community forums. Here’s what other Indian users said:
“Still paying but takes longer than before.”
“Payout came after 3 days. No issues.”
“Not worth it if you don’t have referrals.”
“I only use it while commuting — not bad for passive coins.”
So the verdict is mixed: the app works, but only if you have time and patience.
Final Thoughts
Cashzine is not a scam. It’s still paying in 2025. But don’t expect to make big money fast. If you enjoy reading trending news and sharing it, it’s a nice bonus.
Use it as a background side hustle. Combine it with other apps like ySense or Roz Dhan to earn a little more each month.

There’s a soft limit on reading coins. But referrals are unlimited.
