UserTesting pays you to test websites, apps, and prototypes and share your real-time feedback through recorded audio or video. You walk through tasks on a product and speak your thoughts out loud, the company captures your screen and voice, and the client gets genuine user insight. Each test typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes and pays $10 flat. Some higher-level tests, like live interviews and complex prototype reviews, pay significantly more. You need a decent microphone and a quiet space, but that is about it in terms of setup.
