Not just yourself.

You test theirs
Pick a product from the queue, try it, send real feedback.
They test yours
Your submission unlocks in the public queue — no waiting on luck.
How it works
Four steps. One trade.
Submit
Drop your product link and a few notes on what you want tested.
Test someone else's
Pick a product from the queue, try it, and leave structured feedback.
Unlock your queue spot
The moment you submit that feedback, your own product goes live.
Ship with confidence
5 different founders test your product back and tell you what actually broke.
What you get back
Not just a star rating
Every test comes back as a structured report: what they actually tried, what broke, and their honest first impression — the same format lands in your inbox every time.
Every report is written by a signed-in founder who actually used your product — not a bot, not a template.
What they tested
Signed up, connected a test bank account, and reviewed the auto-categorized transactions.
Bugs / issues found
The CSV export button was unresponsive on Firefox — no download triggered.
Overall impression
Clean layout and the categorization felt surprisingly accurate. Onboarding copy could explain the pricing tiers sooner.

Questions
Before you submit
Submit your product, then test one other founder's product. The moment you submit that feedback, your own submission unlocks and goes live in the public queue — no payment required.
Five different founders, by default, before it's marked done and drops out of the queue. A Featured product keeps collecting testers for its whole featured week, uncapped.
The core loop costs nothing, ever — you just have to hold up your end of the trade by testing someone else. Priority, Manual QA, and Featured are optional paid accelerants, not requirements.
New submissions become visible in the queue 24 hours after posting. If you don't want to wait, Priority ($9) skips that wait and makes it visible immediately.
A structured report for every test: what they tried, bugs or issues found, their overall impression, and a 1-5 rating — see the example above.
Web apps, iOS apps, Android apps, desktop apps, and browser extensions all have their own category — anything else fits under "Other".
