Testing platforms for beginners — 58 verified

  • 58 platforms
  • Verified monthly

You do not need QA experience to get paid for testing websites and apps. The platforms in this collection accept beginners, walk you through a sample test during signup, and pay per completed test or interview. A microphone and the ability to think aloud while you browse are usually the only requirements.

Beginner-friendly testing platforms usually start you with short unmoderated tests; moderated interviews (which pay more) unlock after a track record.
