The plan in your pocket
is worth something.
A phone plan is the one connection almost everybody overpays for. Meerkly puts the gigabytes you never reach to work on web requests and pays you for every one used — in the background, while the phone sits on the desk.
What your plan is really worth.
What could your plan be worth?
Most people pay every month for gigabytes they never touch. Here is the most one device’s worth of them could come to at $0.10 per GB, if demand used all of it.
That is up to 61% of this device’s bill.
$5.00 is the minimum cash-out. At the ceiling 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.
A ceiling, not a forecast. This is what your unused allowance would be worth if every gigabyte were used. How much is actually used depends on demand for your location, and Meerkly is an early network with more devices than requests, so expect far less for now. 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 Android app is on Google Play. The desktop apps are on their way; 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.
Your connection only carries requests from UnblockingAPI’s customers. Nobody buys access to your IP or connects to your device, and we act on abuse when we find it.
Your phone is on anyway. Let it be ready when demand arrives.
Create the account now so your setup code is ready the day the app is. No card, no contract.
