Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I really earn?
Playtesting isn't a full-time job but a flexible side gig that rewards your unbiased feedback on new or unreleased games. Most sessions pay $1-8 for 30 minutes of gameplay — done at your own schedule.
What types of games will I test?
We work with all genres and platforms - from casual mobile games to PC titles. You'll be matched based on your gaming preferences and experience.

This varies based on your profile, availability, and current testing needs of the makers. You will be notified on our mobile app if you’ve already enrolled as a playtester.
Will my feedback actually matter?
Our AI ensures developers can't miss critical feedback. We've tracked thousands of game improvements directly tied to playtester insights.
What makes a great playtester?
Curiosity and honesty. The best playtesters approach games with genuine interest and aren't afraid to point out what doesn't work. Technical expertise is helpful but secondary to insight.
Is my privacy protected?
Absolutely. All playtests are covered by NDAs, and we never share any Personally identifiable information (PII) with game developers. Your feedback helps shape games, but your identity remains private.
