Standing in PLS DONATE with a booth is many players' first attempt at free Robux. It sometimes works — but compared to surveys, the math is brutal for beginners. Here is the honest breakdown.
PLS DONATE: the numbers
Earnings depend entirely on strangers' generosity and your booth's visibility. Big booths with gamepasses priced high can collect thousands — but a new player with no audience, no fancy booth, and no Robux to advertise with typically earns single digits per hour of AFK standing. The distribution is extremely skewed: the top 1% of booths take most donations.
Surveys: the numbers
An hour of focused surveys clears roughly 400+ Robux worth of points on FreeRBX — guaranteed per approved completion, no audience needed. You trade active effort for predictable pay instead of passive waiting for unpredictable generosity.
The verdict
Do surveys for predictable income, and run a PLS DONATE booth passively on the side — they stack. But if you only have an hour a day, the surveys win by an order of magnitude for anyone without an existing following.
