TestMyBuild and BetaList: which one you need

The short answer

BetaList and TestMyBuild are not the same kind of thing. BetaList is a place where early adopters discover new startups: you are featured, people visit your page and some sign up. TestMyBuild is a place where people test your app and write down what they found.

If you are asking for an alternative to BetaList because you want feedback and not only a spot in a list, TestMyBuild is built for that. If you want reach, BetaList is the better fit, and you can use both.

What this page says about other products was read on their own websites on 13 November 2026. Prices and rules change, so check their sites before you decide. TestMyBuild is not connected with any of them, and their names belong to their owners.

What BetaList does

BetaList describes itself as a place to discover and get early access to tomorrow's startups. You submit your product, a person reviews the submission, and it is featured to BetaList's audience.

• Its submission pages describe three paid plans, which differ in how soon you are featured: about 14 days, about 3 days or about 1 day.
• Its pages say the product needs its own website on its own domain, and a link to an app store is not accepted.
• Its pages say it generally features each startup once, and a website featured in the last 12 months is refused.

What you get is attention from people who like new products, and the signups that follow.

What TestMyBuild does

• A person on our team tests every app before it is listed and posts the first feedback.
• Testers sign up to your app, use it and post a screenshot with written feedback. You reply in public.
• A listing costs 10 credits, which you earn by testing other apps or buy from US$9.99. It can cost you nothing.
• An app store link is enough. You do not need your own website.
• The listing stays live unless we remove it, and after a change you can post an update for testers under What's new.

Our guarantee: every app you submit is tested by the team and gets feedback from at least one real person.

What you get is fewer people than a feature on a launch site, and far more words from each of them.

Which one, and in what order

• You are not sure a stranger can get through your signup: TestMyBuild first.
• The app works and you want early adopters to find it: BetaList.
• You have no website yet, only a store page: TestMyBuild.
• You want both: get the feedback, fix what it shows, then go for reach.

Questions and answers

What is a good alternative to BetaList?

It depends on what you want from it. For written feedback from people who test your app, TestMyBuild is built for that. For reach among early adopters, BetaList and Product Hunt do that job.

Is TestMyBuild free?

It can be. A listing costs 10 credits, and you earn credits by testing other apps. You can also buy them, from US$9.99 for 10 credits.

Does TestMyBuild bring as many visitors as BetaList?

No. TestMyBuild is small and is built for feedback, not for traffic.

Can I list on both?

Yes. You can get feedback first and go to a launch site after.
