How it works

From “I have a question” to real feedback — the same day.

herdtest runs on live sessions. Builders post what they need, testers apply, and the work happens in a shared room. Here’s the flow from both sides.

For builders

Get your product in front of real users

1

Post a session

Describe the task, set the pay and length, add skills or devices you need, and optionally require an NDA.

2

Review applicants

Verified testers apply. Read their profiles and ratings, message them, and accept the right fit.

3

Run the live room

Screen-share, chat, and a shared timer. Watch testers work through your flow in real time.

4

Complete & review

Mark it done — the fee releases from escrow to the tester — then leave a rating.

For testers

Get paid for feedback you’re great at

1

Build your profile

List your skills, devices and languages. The more complete it is, the better sessions you match.

2

Apply to sessions

Browse open tests, apply in one tap, and add a short pitch. The fee is held in escrow the moment you’re accepted.

3

Sign & join

Sign the NDA if one’s required, then join the live room and do the work.

4

Get paid

When the builder completes the session, your payout is released. Earnings show up on your dashboard.
