UserCrowd is a user research platform where people can earn money by testing websites, reviewing designs, answering questions, and participating in online interviews. Companies use UserCrowd to collect feedback from real users, letting participants earn money for their opinions and experiences.

Most UserCrowd activities are short tests that ask you to review a website, app, design, or prototype and share your feedback. You may be asked to explain what you think about a page, identify what you would click, compare different designs, or answer questions about your experience. The platform also offers longer moderated interviews, which can pay considerably more than the standard tests.
You create a profile when you apply and provide information that helps UserCrowd match you with suitable studies. Invitations depend on factors such as your demographic profile, available studies, and your tester rating. UserCrowd makes it clear that it cannot guarantee a specific number of tests because study availability depends heavily on customer demand.
The standard tests generally pay around $0.20 per minute, with many short tests paying between $0.20 and $1. Some studies may pay more depending on their length and complexity. Longer interviews have separate incentives. Current UserCrowd information lists payments ranging from $30 for a 15-minute interview to $82.50 for a two-hour session.
You need to provide thoughtful answers because UserCrowd reviews responses before releasing payment. Poor quality responses can affect your tester rating and may result in unpaid work or loss of access to the platform. UserCrowd also now requires identity verification for users who want to continue testing and receive payouts.
The minimum payout is $10, and payments are made through PayPal. UserCrowd aims to process payout requests within seven days, although it notes that reviews can take up to 30 days during periods of high demand.
UserCrowd is best viewed as a way to earn extra money in your spare time rather than a dependable full-time income source. The number of tests you receive can vary considerably, and some users report periods with limited opportunities.
