User reviews

Users appreciate Datacy's reliable payouts, ease of use, and responsive customer service, highlighting it as a set-and-forget passive earning tool compatible with multiple browsers. However, many find the earnings very slow to accrue, requiring patience to reach the $30 payout minimum. Some report technical issues with login and withdrawals, limited earning avenues, and concerns about data privacy and security. Overall, while it successfully pays, the extension demands user patience and attention to privacy considerations.

Pros

Pays out reliably via PayPal and direct deposit when the $30 threshold is reached
Runs quietly in the background with minimal interference to browsing experience
Simple to install and use: set it up and earn money passively
Responsive and helpful customer service via email and Discord
Works across different browsers, not just Chrome

Cons

Earnings accumulate very slowly; takes months to reach payout threshold
Limited earning opportunities, with little variety in how to increase earnings
Occasional login and withdrawal issues reported, especially with PayPal
Some users feel the payout amount does not justify the data privacy trade-off
Lack of clear options for data removal and concerns about potential security risks
