About TestBounty

Built by people who got tired of bad bug reports

TestBounty started with a simple observation: developers release buggy apps not because they don't care, but because they don't have access to enough real users testing real scenarios before launch.

The problem we're solving

Most apps are tested by the team that built them. That's the worst possible way to find bugs, you're too close to the code, you know the intended flows, and you subconsciously avoid the broken paths.

The alternative is expensive. Hiring a QA team, running a beta program, managing feedback through spreadsheets, it all takes time and coordination that early-stage developers don't have.

TestBounty fixes this by making it trivially easy to get strangers to test your app and pay them fairly for the bugs they find. The whole cycle, from campaign to payout — can happen in hours, not weeks nor months.

What we believe

Our principles

Quality over quantity

We'd rather have 10 well-written bug reports than 100 vague ones. Reports are only rewarded when they genuinely help developers.

Speed matters

From campaign creation to reward payout, every step is designed to move fast. Crypto payouts eliminate the banking delays that slow everything else down.

Borderless by default

A developer in Germany can get their app tested by someone in London and pay them in minutes. Geography shouldn't limit who gets to participate.

Fair incentives

Testers get paid for value delivered, not just effort. Developers only pay for reports that actually help. The incentives are aligned.

For developers

Launch with fewer surprises

Creating a campaign takes under 10 minutes. Upload your app to TestFlight or any other distribution platform, set up your campaign with the download link, set a per-report reward, describe what you want tested, and your campaign goes live.

Testers download your app and start exploring. When they find something, they file a report in the app, describing the bug, attaching screenshots, and noting how to reproduce it. You review each report in your dashboard and approve the ones that are genuinely useful, query the ones that are not.

You only pay for what you find useful. If a report is vague, or not a real bug, you reject it and pay nothing (this will be reviewed by admin to ensure you are not rejecting a valid report). This keeps the incentives honest on both sides.

For testers

Turn your time into income

Sign up on the app, browse open campaigns, and download apps that interest you. Explore them like a real user. Try to break things, push edge cases, test on different network conditions.

When you find a bug, file a detailed report. The more precise your description and reproduction steps, the more likely the developer is to approve it. Vague reports get rejected, detailed ones get paid.

Once approved, your crypto reward is released immediately. Build a track record of quality reports and you'll become a preferred tester on the platform, getting early access to campaigns with higher rewards.
