PINCHme vs. Sampler vs. Influenster: Which Free Sample Box Actually Sends Real Products?
Three sample-box services, three test sign-ups, and a very unequal amount of stuff in the mailbox. Here's what each one delivered.

Browse the sample catalog
A daily-updated list of samples from sponsoring brands and retailers — skincare, food, family, tech, wellness, and more. What's live today is what shows up.
Claim what interests you
Pick a sample, tell the brand where to send it, and follow any short brand-specific steps. Some offers ask for a quick account signup or a short profile so the brand can fulfill and ship.
Get your samples
The sponsoring brand ships or delivers based on the offer. My Sample Search never charges you — no card is entered, no dollars come out of your pocket.
How we make money
Advertisers and brands pay us — consumers don't.
My Sample Search is paid by the advertisers and brands whose sample offers appear on the platform. Compensation is usually per claim, per completed signup, or as a flat sponsorship arrangement — set by the brand, not by us. Consumers never pay us anything, and no card is charged when you claim a sample here.
We don't take a cut of any purchase you make later. We're upstream of the buying moment: our job is helping sponsoring brands put samples into the hands of interested people.
Disclosure. My Sample Search is compensated by the brands and advertisers whose sample offers appear on the platform. Compensation does not affect whether an offer is listed, its position, or its terms — those are decided by the brand.

Free means free
Consumers never pay us
My Sample Search doesn't take payment from consumers, doesn't ask for a card, and doesn't charge a subscription. If you claim a sample here, no dollars leave your account through us.
Why we ask
Why some samples ask for your info
Physical samples ship somewhere. Depending on the offer, the brand may need an email, an address, or a short profile so they know where to send it and who to talk to about the product. You're providing that to the sponsoring brand, not to us.
What we do with it
What we do with your info
We use your info to route sample claims to the sponsoring brand and to communicate about the platform. We don't sell personal info outside of the sample fulfillment path you opted into. See the privacy policy for the full detail.
