The plan in your pocket
is worth something.
A phone plan is the one connection almost everybody overpays for. Meerkly shares the gigabytes you never reach and pays you for them — in the background, while the phone sits on the desk.
What your plan is really worth.
What is your plan actually worth?
Most people pay every month for gigabytes they never touch. Here is what one device’s worth of them comes to at $0.10 per GB.
That is 61% of this device’s bill, back.
$5.00 is the minimum cash-out. At this rate you would clear it in about 11 days.
Measured on your connection. You are paid for what your connection actually carries: we measure the traffic between your device and us, and add the same traffic on its way to the site with a small allowance for packet headers. A gigabyte off your plan is, near enough, a gigabyte paid.
One device, one plan. A second phone, a laptop on home broadband, a machine that is on anyway — each one earns on top of this, under the same account.
An estimate, not an offer. This is what your unused allowance is worth — how much of it is actually used depends on demand for your location. Meerkly does not watch your data allowance for you, so on a capped plan, share from Wi-Fi or leave yourself room.
Three steps, about two minutes.
There is no configuration, no port to forward and no tuning to get right. You point a device at your account and leave it alone.
Install Meerkly on a device
A laptop, a spare phone, a machine that is on anyway — anything with an internet connection works.
Point it at your account
Scan your setup code with the app's camera, or paste the id. It is yours, it is public, and it is safe to share; it only says where the money goes.
Leave it running
The device shares a slice of its spare internet in the background and you get paid for it. Nothing to babysit, nothing to configure. Close the lid, walk away.
One download, then a scan.
The phone apps are on their way; the store links will appear here the day they ship. Until then a laptop or a server can start earning under the same account right now.

Before anything else: what is actually happening on your device.
Not what you browse, not your files, not anything you type. Meerkly shares a slice of your connection; it does not watch what you do with it.
The exit refuses anything that is not a routable public address — no localhost, no 192.168.*, no router admin page — so nothing reaches inside your home.
Bytes are counted as they move, by us, not reported by your device. That is why the number you see is the number you are paid.
Your phone is on anyway. It may as well be earning.
Create the account now so your setup code is ready the day the app is. No card, no contract.
