Walk for Health and Profit with the Sweatcoin App

2022 update.. It has become clear that the leader in rewarded walking with cryptocurrency goes to Sweatcoin. While some newer competitors have showed up, most of the apps listed below are either no longer available on the app store or just never really caught on based on poor app store reviews.

With the worldwide phenomenon that Sweatcoin is on the verge of becoming (or by some estimations has already become) a few similar apps have be brought to our attention. We haven't done much digging to determine if one of these players was being developed or launched before Sweatcoin. In this article we will give short reviews and information on a few of these similar apps including BitWalk (Formally BitWalking), Cash for Steps and Step Bet (Created by WayBetter, Inc. makers of Diet Bet, SweatBet and Run Bet).

First we will answer the question you want to ask. Can you Install and Use Sweatcoin while using one of these similar "pay to walk" apps?
Yes, You can run Sweatcoin and similar apps on your phone. We went a step further and installed all of the apps in this article and the Fitbit App. There was definitely a noticeable difference in battery life. This was not surprising considering we had 5 apps accessing the iPhones pedometer and GPS in addition to all the apps I normally have installed on my phone. We ran these apps on an iPhone 6S for 2 weeks. During that time I did not have any crashes or shutdowns. All of the apps seem to function as they were developed to perform.

BitWalk - Not Available on the App store. It appears BitWalking had been launched and for some reason removed from the app store. We found some articles but nothing that spoke to why the app was no longer available. It appears they are relaunching as BitWalk and accepting email addresses on their website to be a Beta users or be informed when it becomes available again. *Update 2021* Bitwalk has closed and will no longer be available. The company behind the bitwalk app has been dissolved.

Cash For Steps - Every Step gets counted with Cash for Steps but there is a large element of luck involved in earning any money from the Cash for Steps App. You receive points for all steps and various Social Sharing tasks. 5 of the 50 Top point earners each day are randomly chosen to win a dollar. Yep.. One Dollar if you are one of five chosen from the 50 most active. No value for my time there but interesting concept none the less. Sticking with Sweatcoin. Another factor in keeping SWC on the top of our list is the functionality on the Apple Watch. 

Step Bet -  Waybetter Inc. has created an interesting group of apps that allow users to pool money for challenges and payout to the participants that complete the established goals. Goals are set based on past performance. Step Bet algorithm will determine your goals. Goals for each game participant are individualized. Most games are $40 but can go up to a few hundred. Private games can be more or as little as $30 per player. All players that complete their goals get at least their initial bet back. In most cases people do not complete their assigned workout. That money goes in to the winners pool. If you create a game and it fills, your entrance fee is free but again the payoff probably isn't there. Maybe just for fun.. we'll sponsor a pool with out members.

Alice was tired of feeling sluggish and out of shape. She had always wanted to be more active and healthy, but she lacked the motivation and the time to exercise regularly. She had tried various fitness apps and programs, but none of them seemed to work for her. She would either get bored, frustrated, or discouraged by the lack of results.

One day, she stumbled upon an app called Sweatcoin, which claimed to pay her for walking and running. She was intrigued by the idea of earning money while getting fit, so she decided to give it a try. She downloaded the app on her phone and signed up for a free account.

The app was simple and easy to use. It tracked her steps and converted them into a digital currency called Sweatcoins, which she could use to buy products and services from the app's marketplace. The more she walked or ran, the more Sweatcoins she earned. She could also earn bonus Sweatcoins by inviting her friends to join the app, completing daily challenges, and watching ads.

Alice was excited by the app's gamified approach to fitness. She felt like she was playing a game rather than exercising. She set herself a goal of earning 1000 Sweatcoins in a month, which would allow her to redeem a $50 gift card from Amazon. She also joined a group of other Sweatcoin users who shared tips and encouragement on the app's social network.

She started walking every day, taking longer routes to work and school, and exploring new places in her neighborhood. She also ran a few times a week, following the app's guided workouts and playlists. She enjoyed seeing her Sweatcoin balance grow and discovering new rewards in the marketplace. She also noticed that she felt more energetic, happier, and confident in her body.

By the end of the month, she had reached her goal of 1000 Sweatcoins. She was thrilled to redeem her gift card and treat herself to something nice. She also realized that she had lost some weight, improved her endurance, and toned her muscles. She was proud of her achievements and decided to continue using the app.

She also challenged herself to earn more Sweatcoins and try new activities. She signed up for a yoga class, a dance lesson, and a hiking trip using her Sweatcoins. She met new friends who shared her interests and supported her goals. She also upgraded her account to earn more Sweatcoins per day and access more exclusive rewards.

Alice had found a new passion and purpose in life thanks to Sweatcoin. She had transformed her health, happiness, and lifestyle with the help of a simple app. She had become a Sweatcoiner.
