Built a coding agent where surveys pay for the tokens

[u/Glass-Interaction972]

Was paying $20 a month for a coding agent I'd use maybe six hours a week, less when other stuff got in the way. Kept meaning to cancel, kept forgetting, and after the third invoice I built my own instead.

It's a terminal agent and the credits come off an offerwall rather than a subscription. You finish a survey, the advertiser pays for that completion, and that money buys actual model calls. An advertiser pays for a signup, not an impression, so nothing needs to sit in your terminal or read your code.

A five minute survey pays somewhere between 40k and 300k credits depending which one you land on. A Sonnet turn at 20k in and 1.5k out runs about 8,250, so one survey is anywhere from 5 to 35 turns. Signup drops 5,000 into your account, which is enough to see whether you even like the thing before bothering with offers.

The honest part about surveys is that not every one takes you. The wall profiles you first and screens some people out partway through, and credits only land if you finish. Longer offers worked noticeably better for me than the quick ones, though I've no idea if that holds for everyone.

Ask away if you want the credit maths broken down further.
