Use the phone you already have

Get paid to try apps before anyone else.

Developers need real people to check that their app actually works. Pick a check, follow a few steps on your phone or computer, report what happened, and get paid for every check you finish, whether the app works or not.

4
Get paid
Once it’s approved (72 hours at most), the money’s in your balance. Cash out whenever you like.

What a check looks like

Checks are short and specific. A developer, often with an AI coding assistant, has just built something and needs a person on a real device to confirm it works.

No experience needed

If you can use an app and describe what you saw, you can do this. The quiz covers everything else.

Work when you want

No shifts, no minimums. Check in when you have a few minutes. The list updates on its own.

Changed your mind? Give it back

If a check isn’t for you, hand it back and someone else can take it. No penalty.

Screenshots in one tap

Paste, drag, or pick from your photos. Your progress saves as you go.

Fair by design

A lot of “get paid to test” sites leave testers guessing. Here’s what we promise.

You see the pay before you start

Every check shows exactly what it pays. The money is set aside when the check is posted, so it’s there when you finish.

Honest results get paid, good news or bad

Reporting a bug is a successful test. Developers can’t reject your work because they didn’t like the answer.

Rejections go to a person

A rejection needs a written reason. If you disagree, dispute it and a person at Proofhand decides. The money stays reserved while they do.

Real money, to your bank

No points or gift cards. Cash out from $25 straight to your bank account through Stripe.

Only legitimate work

You’ll never be asked to solve CAPTCHAs, create accounts on other sites, write reviews, or share your personal details. Every app belongs to the developer who posted it.

Something off? Report it

One tap pulls a check for review. You won’t lose anything for reporting in good faith.

Questions

How much can I make?

Every check shows its pay before you start, set by the developer who posted it (from $2 up). How much you earn depends on how many checks match your devices and how many you choose to do. We’re a new marketplace, so we can’t promise a steady amount of work, and this isn’t a replacement for a job.

Do I get paid if the app is broken?

Yes. You’re paid for doing the steps and reporting honestly. Finding a bug is a successful test. Developers can only reject work that wasn’t genuinely attempted, and you can dispute any rejection to a person.

When and how do I get paid?

Approved checks go to your balance. Developers have 72 hours to review; after that, checks approve automatically. Approved pay becomes available to cash out 7 days after approval, and you can cash out once you have $25 or more. Connect a bank account through Stripe whenever you’re ready (you don’t need to before your first check), and payouts usually arrive within 1–2 business days.

Who can join?

Anyone 18 or older in the United States with a phone or computer and a few minutes for a short rules quiz. You’ll need a US bank account to cash out. More countries are coming.

What devices do I need?

Whatever you already have: an iPhone, an Android phone, or a Mac or Windows computer with Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. You only see checks for the devices you tell us about.

Is it safe?

You only test apps and websites their developers have proven they own. You’ll never be asked for your own passwords, payment details, ID, or personal information. When a login is needed, the developer provides a test account. If a check feels wrong, report it and it’s pulled for review.

What about taxes?

You’re an independent contractor, so earnings are taxable income. If you earn $2,000 or more in a year, we’ll send you a tax form (1099-NEC).

How long does a check take?

Most take 5–20 minutes. Once you start one, you have 45 minutes to submit. If something comes up, give it back and someone else can take it, no penalty.
