Singapore is the rare country where the answer to "which app pays you to walk" is a government one. The Health Promotion Board's Healthy 365 app has been paying people in Healthpoints for their daily steps for years through the National Steps Challenge, and it pays more per step than any commercial app we have tested elsewhere. This guide covers how it works, what a month of walking is worth, the larger Healthier SG credits most people miss, and what we could and could not confirm about the international apps.
Disclosure: Fitcoin is our own fitness-rewards app. Its reward partners are UK-focused for now, so it is not the answer for Singapore and we have kept it out of the list. We have no commercial relationship with any app or programme named here. Figures come from official programme pages, app listings and named outlets, checked on November 14, 2026.
The short answer
In Singapore the best-paying walking app is the government's own. Healthy 365, from the Health Promotion Board, awards Healthpoints for daily steps through the National Steps Challenge, and Healthpoints convert to vouchers at about 150 points to the dollar. On the tiers published for an earlier season, 10,000 steps earned 40 points, roughly 27 cents a day. That is several times what any commercial walking app pays, it is free, and it is run by a statutory board. Install it first and treat everything else as optional.
Healthy 365 and the National Steps Challenge
Healthy 365 is the Health Promotion Board's app. The National Steps Challenge inside it rewards two things every day: steps, and minutes of moderate to vigorous activity. You earn Healthpoints for each, and spend them in the app on e-vouchers.
| Daily steps | Healthpoints | Roughly worth |
|---|---|---|
| 5,000 to 7,499 | 10 | about 7 cents |
| 7,500 to 9,999 | 25 | about 17 cents |
| 10,000 or more | 40 | about 27 cents |
Those tiers are from the Season 5 rules, and HPB changes the numbers between seasons, so the figures in your app today may differ. The conversion is our arithmetic from a reported S$5 e-voucher for 750 Healthpoints. HealthHub's current page confirms the structure but not the rates, so open the Challenge tab in the app for this season's figures before you plan around them.
What a month is worth
The activity minutes are counted separately from steps, so a brisk walk or a workout with a heart-rate tracker earns on top. HealthHub notes that third-party devices must track heart rate for those minutes to count.
The Healthier SG bonuses
These are separate from the steps challenge and worth far more than a month of walking. HealthHub states that completing your first Health Plan consultation under Healthier SG earns S$20 worth of Healthpoints, to be redeemed within 12 months. There is also a one-off S$10 for attending an in-person annual check-in and then viewing your updated Health Plan on HealthHub, with both steps falling between 1 July 2026 and 31 December 2029. Healthier SG is open to citizens and permanent residents aged 40 and above. Both credits land in the same Healthy 365 account as your step points.
International walking apps in Singapore
This is where we have to be careful, because most lists of walking apps are written for the US and simply assume the apps work everywhere.
| App | In Singapore | Our read |
|---|---|---|
| Sweatcoin | Says it operates in more than 160 countries; we could not confirm Singapore on its current list | If it installs, it pays in marketplace offers, never cash |
| WeWard | Operates in about 29 countries, mostly Europe and North America | We found no sign it serves Singapore |
| CashWalk, WinWalk | Step counters with gift-card shelves built for the US | Check the catalogue before you collect coins |
| Offer and survey apps that count steps | Often available | The money comes from the offers, not the walking |
Two rules carry over from every other country we have covered. Sweatcoin does not pay cash anywhere, as our Sweatcoin payout page explains. And an app showing a large balance next to a PayPal logo on day one is the pattern to distrust; are walking reward apps legit has the checks.
Employer and insurer programmes
Many Singapore employers run their own step challenges on top, and HPB publishes a corporate version of the National Steps Challenge. Insurer wellness programmes also reward activity for policyholders. If your workplace or insurer offers one, it stacks: the same steps can count for Healthy 365 and for the other programme. Our corporate step challenge guide covers how the workplace ones are usually set up.
What we would do
- Install Healthy 365, connect your phone or watch and join the National Steps Challenge.
- If you are 40 or over and eligible, enrol in Healthier SG and collect the S$20 in Healthpoints.
- Ask whether your employer or insurer runs a challenge that uses the same steps.
- Add a commercial walking app only if its reward shelf has something you would buy in Singapore.
Method: Checked November 14, 2026. Eligibility, compatible trackers and the Healthier SG credits are from HealthHub's National Steps Challenge page. Step tiers are from HPB's Season 5 challenge overview and may not match the current season. The voucher conversion is from a published third-party account of redemptions and matches HPB's long-standing rate. Sweatcoin and WeWard coverage is as reported by 2026 reviews citing each app's help centre; we could not confirm Singapore on either current list.
