Userbrain

Userbrain is a usability testing tool that pays everyday people to record their screens and voices while testing websites. It is designed to be a simpler, faster alternative to larger competitors, making it easier for testers to get started. Users are asked to perform a series of tasks on a site—like finding a product or contacting support—and speak their thoughts aloud during the process.

Tests typically last between 5 and 20 minutes. To become a tester, one must download the Userbrain recorder extension or app and pass a qualification test to ensure audio quality and clarity. It is a legitimate side hustle for those who are articulate and observant, providing a steady stream of "coffee money" for helping make the internet more user-friendly.
