The latest way to make money online is through test products and apps
First: Leading platforms (highest profit and most popular)
These platforms require screen and audio recording (and sometimes camera recording) while performing specific tasks:
UserTesting:
Userlytics:
It is distinguished by accepting test-takers from all over the world (including the Arab world) and charges from $5 to $90.
My personal experience with the Userlytics website
- The lab's interface is very simple. I've already registered with them; registration is very easy, just by email.
- There is an initial free test, followed by subsequent tests via their registered mail. .
- The platform is highly reputable. Payment is instant upon completion of the test, and there is no minimum requirement. The reward for each completed test is immediately transferred to your PayPal account.
- The cost of a single test ranges from $3 to $50.
I received an invitation to a 10-minute test worth $50, but I didn't complete it because it was on a first-come, first-served basis.
Important notes 📌
- The tests expire quickly because each test requires a certain number of participants. If you receive the invitation and don't read it, the test will end within an hour because it's on a first-come, first-served basis.
- The email address registered on the website must be the same as the one associated with your PayPal account.
- The tests are few and far between.
Trymata ((Formerly TryMyUI): You pay a fixed $10 per test, which takes approximately 20 minutes. However, it does not yet support Arab countries.
UserZoom
(now tracking UserTesting): Focuses on large companies and in-depth studies, and its profits are very lucrative.
Intellizoom
The research arm of UserZoom, providing a combination of quick surveys ($2) and video quizzes ($10).
App testing platforms with free training
Platforms that require a qualification test (for training and evaluation)
These platforms require you to complete a "trial test" (usually unpaid), which is then evaluated by their quality team.m.m.
uTest:
The most popular and largest platform for testing vulnerabilities and software. Earnings depend on the number of bugs discovered, and it offers a free academy to train new testers.
My personal experience on the platform utest
- Registering on the site is very easy with an email address.
- A new window will open after verifying the academy's email address.
📝The training course includes a series of articles.
- It begins with an introduction to the platform, how to profit from it, and how to test programs and applications.
- How to record a professional screenshot, or how to record audio or capture an image of an error page on a selected website, and so on.
- At the end of each part of the training course, there is a test consisting of multiple-choice questions. If you fail it, you can return to the course and retake the test.
😂 I failed one of the courses 10 times, and each time I went back to the course, reread the part I answered incorrectly, completed the test, and failed again.
- After completing the training course, a control panel appears containing a very high-paying and varied test.
Examples from my tests page
- Mobile security app test
- Testing wireless headphones and their noise isolation capabilities
- There was a $70 test that I didn't complete. It involved backing up your mobile data, performing a factory reset, downloading an updated version (for all Android phones), and then restarting the phone.
- 😱Honestly, I was intimidated by this test, even though it costs a very high price of $70 just for a factory reset and downloading an updated version.
- All the tests are very simple and do not take more than 10 minutes.
📌I did not complete any of these tests because I was primarily exploring the platform.
Features of the utest platform
- The tests sent to you are available on your profile page on the website. You can complete them at any time until they are finished. There is no first-come, first-served system on this platform.
- The platform provides ongoing support to test-takers, along with updated academic learning materials to increase test-takers' profits.
- The variety and abundance of tests: Your page always has at least 3-4 tests.
- Tests start at $10 and can go up to $70 per test.
Test IO:
A platform similar to uTest, allowing you to earn money by discovering technical flaws in popular apps and websites.
My personal experience with the test10 platform
- Register by email, then the academy window will open for you. The course is long and detailed, consisting of text content as well as videos.
- The platform deals with a different type of user experience testing, which is discovering software bugs in programs, websites, and applications.
- Tasks will only become available after the entire training course has been completed
- When you register on this platform, you are a beginner who does not know what a programming error is, but it makes you an expert in discovering programming errors, how to write reports, and taking screenshots of programming errors
📌My personal opinion is that the real profit in this platform is the education and skills that I will gain for free, in addition, of course, to the tasks that will be opened up for you.
Second: Game testing platforms
PlaytestCloud
They specialize in testing mobile games. They send you the game to try for 15-30 minutes for about $9.

Userfeel:
- It requires test-takers to take a "qualifying" test (free of charge) first, and after passing it, it begins sending tests paid for $10.
- Registration is via email. The qualifying exam consists of a video that you are required to explain, after which a window will open with the paid tasks.
- Tasks are not unlocked if you fail the qualifying exam, unlike utest which provides paid tasks even if you do not pass the test.
Enroll
- An excellent platform for beginners, its tests are very short and easy and do not require audio and video recording, but its earnings are lower (a few dollars per test).
- Registration is very easy via email. Then a series of questions begins, each group marked with a badge. Once all the badges are completed, the tests begin. Payment starts with the first dollar in your account.
- The profile questions are very long, exhausting, personal, and focus heavily on health and illnesses.
- Tests start at $0.02 and are paid monthly.

Your task is:
Evaluate cleanliness, service speed, and product quality.

- You commute and consume time and fuel, so your pay should cover your "effort" and "costs
- For the company, a single employee's mistake could cost it loyal customers, so it is willing to pay large sums to professionals to ensure quality field performance.
The most important platforms specializing in this type
There are international companies specializing in this field; you can register with them if you are willing to relocate

- Choose the platform with the highest return
- I prefer platforms that offer training because they offer a permanent job opportunity and high pay.
- This is done by transforming the initial expert into a technical expert who earns thousands of dollars per task and is in global demand. It also opens the way for you to find job opportunities in major companies. This opportunity is the real profit for these platforms, in addition to the profits from the tests you complete on the platform that increases your experience.
- Product testing platforms are also among the most enjoyable platforms because the laboratory will have the opportunity to test a product that has not been shown in the markets, and its personal experience when using the product is the product's opportunity to appear in the markets.
