TestingTime

TestingTime is a Swiss-based company that recruits test users for user experience studies, focus groups, and interviews. It operates heavily in the European market but is open to global users. The platform connects businesses wishing to test new products or websites with ordinary people willing to provide feedback. Unlike automated testing platforms, TestingTime often involves live sessions with a moderator via tools like Zoom or Skype.

Because the sessions are live and interactive, the payout rates are significantly higher than standard survey sites. A typical study might last 30 to 90 minutes and pay typically between €30 and €60. It is a legitimate method for earning money online, particularly for those who are articulate and comfortable expressing their thoughts on digital products.
