Pricing: how credits work

No plans, no subscription

TestMyBuild does not sell plans. Everything runs on credits: you need 10 credits to list an app, and you can earn them by testing other apps or buy them once, when you need them.

This page explains what credits do and what they cost. For the whole picture, read How TestMyBuild works.

What is free

• Browsing the apps, with or without an account.
• Testing. We never charge a tester. Every listed app is free or has a free trial; some trials start with a card, so cancel before the trial ends if you do not want to pay for the app.
• Creating an account, if you are 18 or older.

What a listing costs

Listing an app costs 10 credits. They go on hold when you submit the app for review.

1. A person on the team tries your app and posts the first feedback.
2. If it is listed, the 10 credits become the listing's bounty pool.
3. You set a bounty of 1 to 10 credits for each approved feedback post. Each approved post pays the tester from your pool.
4. Add credits to the pool whenever you want more posts. Take back what you added and no post has reserved.

If your app is not listed, 1 credit is spent for the review and 9 come back to your balance.

Step by step: How to submit a listing.

Two ways to get credits

Earn them by testing

Sign up to a listed app, use it, and post a screenshot of the signup with honest feedback. When the team approves the post, you earn that listing's bounty.

Or buy them

• 10 credits for US$9.99 (US$1.00 per credit).
• 50 credits for US$39.99 (US$0.80 per credit, 20% less).
• 150 credits for US$99.99 (US$0.67 per credit, 33% less).

A bounty is paid in credits: with the package of 150 credits for US$99.99, 15 approved posts at a bounty of 10 cost US$99.99.

One-time payments through Stripe, never a subscription. You buy them on the Credits page.

Good to know

• Credits have no cash value, they never expire, and they are never paid out as money.
• The team approves posts on the rules, never on whether they are positive or negative. The builder pays the bounty but has no say in which posts appear.

Questions and answers

Can I list an app without paying?
