FAQ

Pulled is a mobile app for iOS and Android. You enroll in a challenge, then check in at any cafe, tea house, or coffee shop using the in-app camera. GPS and a drink photo verify the visit. When you complete the challenge target, the cash reward is sent to your PayPal account. There is no points system, no in-app currency, no expiring credit. Real money paid out for real check-ins.

Yes. The app includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. First 15 is available to all paid tiers starting at $4.99/mo. The 14-day trial gives you full access to check in, build your Pull Map, and earn badges. Challenge enrollment begins after you pick a paid plan.

Any cafe, specialty roastery, third wave coffee shop, tea house, matcha bar, boba shop, kissaten, or chain location. Pulled does not gate by shop type. A flat white at a Melbourne specialty bar, an espresso at a Roman bar, a matcha at a Kyoto tea house, or a venti iced latte at a suburban Starbucks all count as one Pull. If a person made the drink behind a counter, it qualifies.
