A Honeygain alternative that pays your own wallet
Both pay you for sharing internet you aren't using. Honeygain keeps your earnings as credits in a Honeygain account until you cash out. Otium has them converted and sent to your own wallet, shares only while you're away, and also mines with your computer.
| Otium | Honeygain | |
|---|---|---|
| Where your earnings go | To your own wallet address in your coin, through a one-time conversion, once $1 has built up. Otium never holds your money. | Credits in your Honeygain account (1,000 credits = $1) until you cash out. |
| Cashing out | Automatic. A payout waits while the network fee would be a large part of it: for USDT on TRON that's about $16. | From $20 by PayPal, or smaller amounts through JumpTask. Credits expire after 6 months without sharing. |
| Fees | Otium's 2% of each payout. | No Honeygain fee; PayPal may charge one. |
| Account and ID | No account and no ID: you paste a wallet address. An email is optional. | An account with a confirmed email, age 18 or over, and identity verification may be needed for payouts. |
| Devices | Windows, Linux and Apple-silicon Macs. | Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux through Docker. One device per internet connection. |
| Also earns by | Mining with your graphics card and processor while you're away. | Content Delivery, a bonus on some Windows and Mac devices. |

Where Honeygain is the better choice
Honeygain runs on Android phones, which Otium doesn't, and pays by PayPal if you'd rather not use crypto.
