Where to find beta testers for your app

The short answer

You can find beta testers for free in a test exchange: you test other people's apps and they test yours. It works better than asking in a forum, because everyone there has a reason to finish the test.

TestMyBuild is a test exchange with a person in the middle. You earn credits by posting feedback on other apps and spend 10 credits to list your own. If you would rather not test, you can buy the credits.

How to get testers without paying

1. Create an account. You can test right away.
2. Pick an app, sign up to it, use it and post a screenshot of the signup with your honest feedback.
3. When the team approves your post you earn the listing's bounty, between 1 and 10 credits.
4. With 10 credits you list your own app.

What a tester does with your app

• Signs up, so you see whether your signup works for a stranger.
• Uses the app for the thing you asked them to test.
• Posts a screenshot and written feedback on your listing, tagged with the platform they used.

You set a bounty of 1 to 10 credits for each approved post. Apps with a higher bounty are shown first on the home page, and a higher bounty gives testers more reason to pick yours.

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

What these testers are not

They are not a paid research panel that you choose by age or country, and they do not record their screen. They are also not a group that stays opted in to a Google Play closed test for 14 days. For that rule, see Feedback for Android apps.
