Trust

You only pay for work
you’d ship with.

Post a test. Verified testers use your product, record the session, and answer your form. Approve what’s useful — unused slots refund automatically.

The bar for an approved submission

Every paid slot includes evidence — not a maybe.

That’s the marketplace standard. If it isn’t here, you don’t approve it.

Screen recording

Captured in-browser inside QATested, with an external link as a fallback. Watch playback in your dashboard, then export MP4 with your submission data.

Structured answers

Testers answer the questions on your form — rating scales, multiple choice, free text — so you can compare submissions side by side.

Export anywhere

CSV, JSON, Markdown, or a ZIP with screenshots and recordings. Your QA data leaves the platform — no API keys required.

Not included as “approved work”: bug-bounty lotteries, star ratings with no recording, or auto-charges for junk submissions.

Who tests your product

Identity-checked people — not anonymous clicks.

Before someone earns on QATested, they verify who they are and connect payout rails.

Identity check

Testers complete identity verification before they can earn. You’re letting real people into staging — not throwaway accounts.

Stripe Connect payouts

Approved work pays out through Stripe Connect. That keeps payouts audit-friendly and ties earnings to a verified profile.

Rising · Top · Elite tiers

Tier reflects rating, approval rate, and completed tests. When you set pay per slot, you can gate a test to a minimum tier.

Device & browser match

Testers must match the devices and browsers you specify to claim a slot — so feedback matches the environment you care about.

Honest note: we’re early, so the tester pool is still growing. Higher pay per slot and looser device requirements usually fill faster. That tradeoff is yours to set — not hidden behind a sales call.

You’re the quality bar

Approve thorough work.
Reject when quality fails.

Every submission hits your dashboard for review. Watch the recording, read the answers, then approve or reject.

Incomplete or off-brief work can be rejected — the slot reopens, and you pay nothing for that submission. Thorough work with hard feedback should be approved; that’s what independent testing is for. We moderate rejects so developers and testers both stay treated fairly.

Full settlement rules: Refund Policy →

  • You review every submission before money moves to the tester
  • Reject when work is incomplete, off-brief, or not thorough
  • Hard findings on thorough work still count as done
  • Moderation keeps rejects fair for both sides
  • A fair reject reopens the slot; unused slots still refund at settlement
Money without surprises

Checkout is clear. Settlement is automatic.

Prepaid slots up front. You keep value only for work you approve.

Total shown upfront

Slots × pay per tester + 20% platform fee. WordPress sandboxes show the per-slot hosting fee before you pay.

Pay for approved only

You only keep (and fund) completed, approved submissions. Rejections don’t auto-bill you for junk work.

Stripe checkout

Card payments processed by Stripe. Refunds for unused slots go back to the original payment method.

Your product stays controlled

Staging access without Slack credential chaos.

Share only what a claimed tester needs for that test — not a forever open door.

In-app staging logins

Attach username, password, and login steps when you create a test. Claimed testers get one-tap copy-and-open — no password paste in email threads.

WordPress sandboxes

Plugin tests provision an isolated site per claimed slot. Sandboxes are destroyed when the test settles. WordPress testing →

Scoped to the test

Testers see what you attach for that test. When the window ends, unused access doesn’t keep accruing charges for empty slots.

FAQ

Trust objections, answered.

More product detail on the for developers page.

What if a tester submits poor work?
You review every submission before approving it. Incomplete or off-brief work can be rejected — the slot reopens, and you pay nothing for that submission. Thorough work with hard feedback should be approved; that’s what independent testing is for. We moderate rejects so developers and testers both stay treated fairly. Testers with repeated fair rejects see their rating and tier drop.
What if not all my slots fill?
Unfilled slots are automatically refunded to your original payment method when the review window closes. You only ever pay for completed, approved submissions. See the Refund Policy for timing and WordPress hosting rules.
Can I require a minimum tester tier?
Yes. When setting pay per slot, you can gate tests to Rising, Top, or Elite testers — tier is based on rating, approval rate, and completed tests. Higher pay tends to attract higher-tier testers faster.
Can I test software behind a login?
Yes. Attach staging username, password, and login steps when you create a test. Claimed testers get one-tap copy-and-open access — no sharing credentials over email or Slack.
Do testers always record their screen?
Yes — every submission includes a screen recording. Testers capture sessions in-browser inside QATested (no Loom account required). An external link works as a fallback. You watch playback in your dashboard and can export MP4 files with your submission data.
