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

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

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

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

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

For testers

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

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

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

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