Hello!
**Hey! Here’s my honest take on Testbirds:**
I started using Testbirds because I was curious — you hear about people getting paid to test apps and websites, and honestly, it sounded fun and easy. So I signed up, filled out my profile, and waited for projects.
At first, I was *excited* — the platform looks nice, the tasks seem cool, and they promise you can make money just by giving feedback or finding bugs. I even got a few invitations in the beginning, and that felt awesome. I completed a couple of tests and thought “okay, this could actually work.”
But then reality hit a bit…
Here’s what it *actually* felt like:
📌 **The good stuff**
* When I *did* get a test, it was interesting — sometimes I’d be trying out a new app or website feature, and it didn’t feel like work at all.
* The tasks were usually straightforward — click around, try stuff, talk about what you see.
* Payments that *did* go through were legit — I got paid on time to my PayPal and it was nice seeing that money hit my account.
📌 **The not-so-good stuff**
* The biggest problem? **Not enough tests.** After the first couple, invites became super rare. Some weeks I didn’t get *anything* to do — just crickets.
* I also had a few where I completed a test and then they said “sorry, not accepted” — even though I followed the instructions perfectly. That was frustrating.
* Sometimes they ask for very specific profiles — like only people who use a certain app or are in a certain country — and if you don’t match, you don’t get picked.
💸 **Earnings**
Honestly, you won’t get rich from Testbirds. If you’re lucky and get picked often, you can earn a bit of pocket money. But for me? It was *patchy* — a bit here, a bit there, nothing reliable. More like a small side hustle, not a steady income.
🌟 **Overall vibe**
I’d say **Testbirds is legit** — it’s not a scam, and I did get paid for the tests I finished. But it’s also not as consistent as some people might hope. It’s fun if you’re doing it as something extra, but definitely **don’t depend on it for regular money.**

Hi Filip,
thank you so much for taking the time to share such an honest and detailed review — we really appreciate it!
We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the tests you participated in and that your experience with payouts and the platform itself has been positive. Hearing that the tasks felt fun and engaging is exactly what we aim for.
That said, we also want to acknowledge the challenges you mentioned:
🔹 Test availability:
You’re absolutely right — the number of invitations depends heavily on the requirements of each project. Some tests need very specific profiles, device setups, or locations, which unfortunately means not everyone gets invitations consistently. We know this can be disappointing, and we’re continuously working to expand our project variety so more testers can participate more regularly.
🔹 Not accepted submissions:
We understand how frustrating it can be to complete a task and then find out it wasn’t accepted. Our team reviews each test carefully to ensure they meet client requirements, but we’re also always improving our guidelines and communication so expectations are clearer and the process feels fairer.
🔹 Earnings:
We appreciate you pointing out that testing is best suited as a side activity. That’s exactly how the platform is designed — a flexible way to contribute your feedback, try new digital products, and earn a bit of extra money along the way.
We’re happy to have you as part of our community and hope to see you in more projects soon! 💙
If you ever have questions or want help optimizing your tester profile, feel free to reach out anytime.
Kind regards,

I find Testbirds reliable and fair.
I have been testing with Testbirds for several years, and overall my experience has been positive. The platform itself is quite complex, but if someone is not comfortable dealing with that, testing might simply not be the right field for them.
If you apply as a tester, it is definitely a good idea to register as many devices as possible and keep your operating systems up to date in your device list. Even then, there are many cases where you are not selected for a test. Sometimes something takes longer than expected — but that is simply part of this kind of work.
Whenever I have been selected for a project, everything has gone smoothly for me, from communication to payment. Overall, I find Testbirds reliable and fair.

Testbirds didn't pay me for my test
I was accepted for the test "share your thoughts in the recording for a well known automotive website", i completed the test and submitted my report on it but later on i got a message saying i was not selected for the test, meanwhile this is a test i was already accepted for, participated in and submitted my report on it.
I reach out to support several times but they didn't get back to me.

Mainly positive experience
I’ve been testing for Testbirds occasionally for the past few years, and overall it’s a great experience. The platform is easy to use, the instructions are clear, and communication is smooth. Payments arrive without issues, and the tests are usually straightforward.
One small thing I’d love to see added is an option on the dashboard to hide past or irrelevant tests — it would make navigating available tasks even easier. Other than that, I’m really happy with how things work here.

I guess it's gone under...
I used to test with Testbirds... years ago. Test opportunities began to dwindle, but I figured, it happens. Fastforward to October 2025, I'm stil attempting to accept testing invitations and every link (tests, support, tester log in, etc.) is giving an error message. This is really unprofessional and dissappointing.

Hi Shashanna,
Thanks for your feedback.
Please note that every project is unique, and the criteria for participation can vary significantly depending on the specific requirements of our clients.
Sometimes, test spots may fill up quickly—especially when the target group is broad or in high demand. In other cases, certain target groups may be more specific.
We still encourage you to accept invitations as soon as possible when you receive them. If you ever have questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to birdmaster@testbirds.com —we’re happy to help!

No clear policy for bug report acceptance and rejection
Participated in two Crowd Survey's in August and September 2024. Not paid for months. Only paid out after contacting them April 2025.
Policies for accepting, rejecting, downgrading bugs are ad-hoc depending on the birdmaster's personality and mood.
Bird test user interface needs improvement. Bird encountering a bug is meant to go through all bugs reported by other testers and only report the bug found if it's not already been reported. No free text search function when going through bugs reported by other birds.
keep a screencast from the start of each test, that way you have evidence to send for those bugs that appear once only (Birdmasters tend to refuse or downgrade severity if no screencast is uploaded). Birdmasters should encourage/remind birds to do this (start a screencast when bird BEGINS the testing) within the test description!!

Hi Chafiqa,
Thanks for getting in touch. I am sorry to hear that you’ve been waiting some time for your next test.
Since we test with many different companies and different products, the requirements needed for a project are always changing – your next invitation could come at any moment depending on the target groups needed.
Our clients define which testers and devices best represent their target consumers/markets. We then help them find the testers who best match the requirements needed by searching for specific information in testers’ profile fields and device lists. In order to give you the best chance to receive invitations, please make sure you:
Fill out your profile (it’s up to you how much you’d like to share) – the more we know about you, the more accurately we can match you to upcoming project opportunities. This is why it’s important to make sure you’ve filled out your profile as completely as possible, and that you ensure it remains up to date.
Whenever we have a project that matches your profile, our system will send you an invitation via email. While you wait for your next test, I recommend keeping an eye on the BirdNews feed on your dashboard for test-related posts. Sometimes you might not fit the right target group for a test but know somebody who does. You can earn money and/or Community Points for recommending a friend for an upcoming or ongoing project. By supporting the growth of your community, you’ll contribute to helping us offer more projects in future.
We sincerely hope to test with you again soon. Until then, if you should have any questions, we are happy to support you via birdmaster@testbirds.com.
