Bugfed connects software teams with everyday testers like you. Use the phone, laptop, or browser you already own to try out real apps before they launch, report what you find, and get paid for every approved test run.

Setup time
About 2 minutes
Compensation
Based on the test run and your performance
No marketplace to browse and no proposals to write. When a test run matches your device and profile, we contact you directly with the details.
Software teams need coverage across real hardware and real operating systems, the kind of testing an emulator can't replicate. Whatever you already own is useful.
Every test run comes with a clear scope, written instructions, and a deadline, so you always know exactly what's expected before you start.
Once your submission is reviewed and approved, you earn points that convert directly to cash. No invoicing, no chasing payment.
Tell us about the devices you own and a bit about yourself. Takes about two minutes, nothing to install yet.
When a test run fits your device and profile, we reach out with the details. You decide whether to accept.
Follow the written instructions, use the app as directed, and submit a clear report of what you find.
Once your submission is approved, you earn points for that run. Request a payout once you hit the minimum balance.
Bugfed is open to testers anywhere in the world. There's no coding or QA background required.
No. Most testers have no formal QA background. Every test run comes with clear, written instructions, so you don't need prior experience to get started.
Any real phone, tablet, or computer you already own works, including Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, or Linux. You don't need multiple devices; we match you to test runs suited to what you have.
Compensation depends on the test run itself and the quality of your submission. Your performance and rating factor into what you earn, and earnings are reflected in your account once a submission is reviewed and approved.
Points accumulate in your account as test runs are approved. Once you reach the minimum payout threshold shown on your dashboard, you can request a payout.
Yes. You choose which test runs to accept and there's no minimum time commitment. Test as often or as little as fits your schedule.
Your details are used only to verify your identity and match you to relevant test runs. See our Privacy Policy for the full details on what we collect and how it's used.
We'll reach out when a test run matches your device profile.
