HealthyWage
HealthyWage, which ‘pays you to lose weight’ by requiring you to put skin – or rather, a bet – in the game. You pledge a set amount of money, ranging from $10 to several hundred dollars, and sign up to an individual or team competition to shed a certain amount of weight over a specified period. If you win, you receive your money back, plus whatever cash prize you’ve specified. Team competitions offer the happiest vibe of all, as the challenges aim at fostering community and

How You’ll Get Paid: Upon completion of your challenge, you can get paid by check or PayPal.
DietBet
In DietBet, you bet on your ability to lose a specified amount of weight within a certain time frame, and then split the pot of money with other winners. The paid app uses social accountability and community support to help you stay on track.

StickK
StickK is a website that lets you draft commitment contracts for weight-loss goals. You set a goal, and if you fail to meet it, you pay a monetary penalty. You can enlist friends or family to be your ‘supporters’, or a ‘referee’ with full authority to decide if you made it or not.
How Much You Can Earn: You stand to save a lot in penalties, especially if you go long term.
How You’ll Get Paid: StickK won’t pay you but will help you avoid payment penalties.
Lympo
Lympo takes a bounty system approach where users get paid in cryptocurrency (LYM tokens) for achieving certain fitness targets such as losing weight through the completion of challenges that have been set out online. These range from solo undertakings (‘Hit 30,000 steps’) to group activities (‘Hike Izu Peninsula’, ‘Run the saddle route of Mt Fuji’), which the participant can join or create themselves. They receive encouragement from fellow members when they track their progress, and are rewarded with tokens when they complete a challenge.
How Much You Can Earn: According to Larium, earnings come from the accumulation of challenges completed – easy ones can earn you a few cents, while the more difficult ones could nab several dollars’ worth of LYM tokens.
How You’ll Get Paid: You will earn LYM tokens, which can be converted to cash or to other cryptocurrencies.
Achievement
Achievement is a mobile app that pays you to lose weight. It rewards users who log healthy activities while providing ways for them to measure their results. In addition to tracking progress, Achievement rewards users for other types of healthy activities with points which can be redeemed for cash. The app makes available a community of users who support each other’s health benchmarks, verifying goals based on consensus.

WayBetter
WayBetter offers several different fitness games where users vie to reach certain health and fitness goals, and where participants pay to join and winners split the pot. WayBetter’s games create social support and a sense of community.
WayBetter functions by design, but the success of these apps in getting users to overcome procrastination and get more done relies on the users finding the apps useful and enjoyable.
How Much You Can Earn: What you can win depends on the size of the pot and the number of winners, but is generally between a couple dollars and well over $100 per game.

Competish
A second is Competish, an app that pays you to lose weight using weight loss competitions with your friends and loved ones. You create a contest, you invite team members, and you log everyone’s data. The peer-pressure (and, presumably, friendly competition) can be extremely useful for providing extra motivation and momentum.
How Much You Can Earn: Depends on the stakes players set, which could be a few dollars or more, depending on the size of the buy-in agreed to by the whole group.
How You’ll Get Paid: Cietta says payments are done as a group and tends to be cash-based or through peer-to-peer payment apps.
Evidation
Achievement (now renamed Evidation) rewards users for, among other things, losing weight: the more health and fitness apps you connect to via the platform, the more points you’ll earn for the various behaviours tracked by them. Those points can be translated into actual cash, putting something more concrete than just a pat on the back behind the motivation to eat well and exercise.

How You’ll Get Paid: Payments are made via PayPal or direct deposit.
Sweatcoin
Through Sweatcoin, if you convert your steps into a virtual currency, you’re able to purchase goods, services or cash. While not specifically designed to help you lose weight, inspired fitness is still an extremely worthwhile pursuit that can contribute to weight loss. Additionally, earning Sweatcoins is fun and rewarding, giving you a healthy extra incentive to keep on moving.
How Much You Can Earn: Earnings depend entirely on activity level; a typical user earns around $3/month in Sweatcoins.
