You've most probably seen redeem craze one or more times now. Being a new user to social media, you must have seen people sharing their webpage, details of their website on variouswhatsapp chats groups, YouTube comments sections, various tech websites to find out if they are actually true.

The redeem Craze website, located at redeemcraze.com is somewhat of an app discovery site, digital tools, and also some affiliate marketing content. With the webpage, users are able to find various mobile apps to their needs and desires, ranging from ringtone makers, video editors, or even ad blockers- for anyone who wants to utilize their smartphones for everyday needs at no initial price, the website is based on a WordPress platform for its CMS. The website allegedly ranked within the 100,000 most-visited websites in the world, but that's not the only factor in knowing what the user gets.

This blogpost analyzes the offers, claims of reward systems, coupon code redemption, and their associated risks. And whether or not to actually try to utilize the platform to download some free app, or to utilize the affiliate program to achieve passive income. This has no extra embellishment, just plain facts.

So, what exactly is Redeem Craze?

According to its description, the Redeem Craze is a digital solutions platform. In simpler terms, this basically means that the Redeem Craze website focuses on the three aspects listed below:

     App discovery: They suggest mobile apps that fall into various categories, such as creative apps, apps relating to entertainment, productivity, etc.

     Affiliate marketing content: The website discusses various apps/tools based on how these could be useful in terms of online prospects.

     Redeem code promotions: They provide users with reward-based promotions that allow them to get 'free recharges' or vouchers.

It seems like the target audience of this website is smartphone users who may be looking to take advantage of these applications without any costs, or avail the data recharge offers, especially those in South Asia. Without conducting a full review of the website, the apps they feature appear to be of all kinds and include: ringtone changing applications, ad blockers, video editing applications,CapCut Pro, among others, each being provided with a short description along with the respective download or link redirects.

The section below will explain which apps redeem craze appears to push the most and a bit about what they are.

Capcut Pro

This app helps with the creation of new content as its interface is very simple, allowing the manipulation of your content on a timeline, adding filters, and the generation of automatic captions. The 'Pro' element of this app adds more helpful features to your existing one. The app is free to download and is a paid one via in-app purchases.

Ringtone Zip & Name Ringtone Creator

These two apps will essentially allow you to create new tones for your ringtones. Ringtone Zip will make sure that the chosen sound is ready for you to set as your ringtone, whereas Name Ringtone Creator will add the name or a specific phrase that you add to the tone for a more personalized feel. This can be quite useful for someone who wishes to stand out with their phone's ringtone, but not for anything else.

Ads Blocker

 This app can help with stopping certain pop-up ads when either visiting a website or using a free app. This would be useful if you frequently use free content websites that often have intrusive pop-ups or if a lot of the apps that you download often push unwelcome ads within themselves. It seems to work with Android devices, though performance can vary depending on individual phones and apps.

How the Redeem Code system works:

This is the area that gets the most scrutiny, and arguably the most skepticism:

The basic principle: Visit the site, complete an action (give your number, share a link, view an advertisement, etc.), and receive a redeem code that would provide you with a free mobile recharge or a cashback incentive.

Here's what happens based on the feedback from users:

     You are usually redirected to a site by the name redeem craze, or to some other linked site.

     You are required to enter your mobile number or sometimes an email ID.

     A message will appear saying that your offer is "processing".

     You are likely redirected to numerous pages packed with advertisements, and/or multiple tasks.

     In most cases, no actual mobile recharge is given; most of the time, no redeem code is delivered at all.

The business model of these sites: The payment comes from, among other sources, Google AdSense, through affiliate links, and by redirecting users to different pages for the completion of certain tasks. Users act as the source of traffic; while this is not technically a scam (quite a lot of sites use such models), it's the gap between what is offered and what is received that causes this breach of trust between users and service providers.

So, is Redeem Craze safe to use?

What can I safely use it for:

     Accessing the lists of applications and the descriptions of tools.

     Following download links for applications I know, like CapCut.

     A starting point in searching for and understanding applications.

What should I not do at redeem craze

     Enter my mobile number or other personal data on the award pages.

     Complete any tasks that ask for login or payment data.

     Trust any "free recharge" offers.

Analyzers of third-party software have listed the domain as suspicious for a number of reasons. The site is very new (it is about 1.5 years old). The owner is hiding behind the anonymous privacy feature. And several of the suspicious sites use the same server. But that doesn't automatically make it malware, so I recommend giving no personal data to this website.

How to use Redeem Craze safely: The best way is to treat it like any other website with an archive of software pages, read through the program information, use the direct downloads that go to official sites, and don't touch award forms.

Redeem Craze & Affiliate Marketing; where's the actual opportunity?

Besides downloading the apps, Redeem Craze also supports affiliate marketing. The whole concept is as simple as this:

     Some of the apps featured on redeem craze already have affiliate schemes themselves.

     A referrer earns an income by driving clicks and installations of this particular app via a referral link.

     Redeem Craze simply acts as an extra layer of traffic that gets channeled towards the app, whilst the referrer fee comes directly from the app's developers.

If the user already runs a blog, a YouTube channel, or a social network page, then this is a viable concept. All they have to do is promote an app on their channel/website/page that is somewhat related to their audience and earn a commission when people download it via their referral link. The site would serve simply as a place to find apps to advertise.

If it's a normal user with no particular following, then the affiliate program aspect is very impractical as he has to produce traffic himself.

Who exactly is using redeem craze?

The platform’s traffic shows the users quite clearly:

     A big amount of traffic is generated by the users of Pakistan and India (indicated by app categories, PTA compliance indications)

     The majority of users were looking for free apps, ringtone tools, or recharge codes

     It attracts so much traffic to reach the global top 100 000, which means it’s not a ghost-site at all but has a real audience.

Essentially, the platform is for a common user with a smartphone and a need for functional tools without costs associated. However, a considerable percentage of the audience was also interested in making money in digital marketing or the affiliate income field.

Conclusion

Redeem Craze falls into the category of sites that are more effective at what they're implicitly designed for than what they're screaming from the rooftops that they are. As a website that lists free mobile apps, it's a decent place to browse. The listings are legit, and the apps it suggests are indeed functional. If I just want a working ringtone app or a free video editor without sifting through twenty minutes' worth of Google results, it cuts down the time to find something halfway decent.

The redeem code portion is where things are a bit less clear. Free recharge schemes circulating on social networks usually don't actually pay out what they claim to, and redeem craze falls within this mold. It profits from the clicks generated by the false claims made regarding redeem codes, while anyone expecting actual cashback or phone credit rarely receives either. This is something to be aware of before giving over your number.

Best used by skipping the forms, browsing the lists of apps and cross-checking before downloading anything not found directly on an official app market. Redeem Craze has a role, just not the one it's hawking.
