FAQ
Answers for companies and testers, based on how TestNexo works today.
These answers describe how TestNexo works today for companies and testers.
What is TestNexo?
TestNexo is a marketplace for app testing. A company can hire one tester or configure and fund a campaign for several testers. Testers apply, complete the work, and build a public testing history. Payment protection covers work the company has funded.
Who can use TestNexo?
Companies and product teams who need real people on real devices, and testers who want to apply to Testing Jobs, campaigns, and direct Offers. One account can hold both a Hiring profile and a Testing profile.
What can I test?
Android and iOS apps, including builds shared through Google Play closed testing, TestFlight, or private access the company controls. Platform policies still apply. TestNexo does not operate an automated device farm.
What is a campaign?
A campaign is a funded testing engagement that the client configures: tester count, eligibility, duration, tasks, evidence, and compensation. Eligible testers apply. The client admits them. TestNexo does not run the campaign as a staff-operated service.
Can I hire one tester directly?
Yes. Find a tester, view the public profile, message them, and send an Offer. After the tester accepts and the work is funded, they complete the brief and submit results for review.
How does Payment Protection work?
The company funds the work before testing begins. TestNexo records that funded work. The tester works after funding, submits results, and earnings follow approval. Your Earnings page shows any hold before a withdrawal.
Does TestNexo guarantee Google Play or App Store approval?
No. Store requirements and policies still apply. TestNexo helps you find testers and organize feedback. It does not control Google or Apple review.
Can testers work without a paid plan?
Yes. Tester Free is enough to apply, accept Offers, work, submit, earn, and withdraw. Tester Plus only adds discovery and profile tools.
Does a Tester need Tester Plus to apply?
No. You never need a paid plan to apply, work, earn, or withdraw on TestNexo.
When does a Tester get paid?
After the company approves completed work, earnings follow the payment-protection rules. Your Earnings page shows when they can be withdrawn. Withdrawal is a separate step. TestNexo does not promise an instant bank payout.
What happens if work is disputed?
Either side can open a dispute with the evidence already on the work. Staff review the submission and contract. Outcomes can return funds, release earnings, or split them. Some cases need manual review.
Can I choose specific devices?
Yes. Tester profiles list real devices. Company Plans control which discovery filters are included. A campaign can describe device and platform requirements in the brief.
How is private App access protected?
Builds, links, and credentials are shared with assigned testers, not published on the public job page. Testers are expected to use access only for the agreed work.
What are Company Plans?
Monthly platform access for companies hiring testers: Free, Starter, Growth, and Enterprise. They cover hiring and discovery limits. They are not fixed testing packages.
What are Tester Plans?
Tester Free and Tester Plus. Tester Plus is optional and adds saved companies, saved searches, portfolio capacity, and company filters. It is not required to work.
Are there fixed testing packages?
No. Quick Test, Standard Test, and Launch Test are not offered. A client sets the campaign and funds that amount. Subscriptions remain separate.
How do refunds work?
Unfunded work can be cancelled before funding. Funded work, approved work, disputes, unused campaign reward amounts, and platform fees follow the refund policy. External payment providers can constrain what can be returned automatically.
Can one account have a Company Plan and a Tester Plan?
Yes. Hiring and Testing plans are independent. A Company Plan does not change tester limits, and Tester Plus does not change hiring limits.
