Who it's for
Built for both sides of the testing market
TesterPayKit connects the people who need testing done with the people who want flexible micro-income. We start in DACH + EU and grow from there.
For builders
Indie · Solo · Vibe-Coding devs
You built it with Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable or Flutter. You're alone or in a tiny team. You don't have a QA budget but you need real humans to break your app before launch.
- Drop-in Flutter SDK, set up in minutes
- Pay only for validated sessions, no retainer
- 10 free sessions during beta
For SMEs
SMEs with their own app
Your app is in production but you lack an in-house QA team. You need diverse, real-user feedback from people who aren't already power-users. Without paying agency rates.

- EU-hosted, GDPR-aligned, German support
For agencies
Digital agencies + studios
You ship apps for clients. You need repeatable, reportable validation that fits into your delivery process, and that you can resell or white-label.

- Exportable PDF + CSV reports
- API + webhooks for your own pipeline

Frequently asked questions
How much does crowd testing cost compared to UserTesting? +
TesterPayKit starts at €0/month — you only pay testers who actually run your app. UserTesting charges $49–$150 per session. For indie apps with a few test cycles per month, TesterPayKit is multiple times cheaper.
Do I need to install an SDK to use TesterPayKit? +
No. The SDK is optional and gives deeper telemetry (breadcrumbs, crash reports, screen recordings), but you can run tester campaigns and collect feedback without it.
How do testers get paid? +
Testers receive transparent per-task payouts, released after your approval. Rates run through the TesterPayKit platform; testers see what they will earn before they start a task.
Can I crowd-test a Flutter app without my own user base? +
Yes — that’s the whole point. TesterPayKit brings real people (students, retail workers, retirees) as testers for apps that do not yet have an audience.
What is crowd testing for indie developers? +
Crowd testing is a model where a distributed pool of real users tests an app on real devices, instead of in-house QA only. For indie developers, that means realistic feedback without owning a user base.
How long does a test campaign take? +
Typical campaigns deliver first feedback within 24–48 hours. More complex multi-session tests run for 5–7 days.
Is TesterPayKit GDPR-compliant? +
Yes. TesterPayKit is EU-hosted (Hetzner), and we avoid storing tester clear-text data or app content server-side beyond what testing requires. Privacy + DPA are part of the standard setup.
