BetatestingReviews of betatesting.com

The Betatesting platform is easy to use. The instructions to testers are clear. The time allowances for completing tests are reasonable and the rewards for the time taken are fair So why do I rate it only stars? Because each of the three test instructions required me to share my own PERSONAL INFORMATION with a third party. This included full name, date of birth, phone number, email address, and photo ID. I was required to either video the sign on and subsequently upload the video file (accessible by Betatesting's client) or share my screen with a client employee. Naturally I refused due to concerns about identity theft. When I raised the concern via email to Betatesting, I got a confusing response "You are not expected to capture any sensitive information on video ever". Betatesting contravened their own advice three times!

Their user tests are not paying much. Moreover, recently they switched from paying full with PayPal to deducting 6% from paypal payments and offering tremendous for full payment. When I gave the feedback to them that this is not fair, the response I got was "We actually increased our rewards more than 25% before our switch to Tremendous! So, the 6% is negligible." To me that response is just laughable. I am not sure when and how they really increased their prices for 25%. I really don't see that. Now it is possible that maybe I have low ratings and that's why I don't get high paying tests? Who knows! Because, there is no transparency. As a tester, I cannot see what my ratings are, where I got low ratings, and no feedback on how to improve. So this site for me is getting worse and worse. If you won't be transparent about our ratings and help us get higher paying tests, what is the point of staying here? and if when we send feedback through their platform we will just be talked down, I really don't see the point in directly communicating them to help them imrpove their system. Perhaps leaving a rating here for them, which is fully transparent, would be helpful for them to improve something. I'll continue using their site but if it goes like this and I just don't get any transparency, I am not sure if I will last long. There are many alternatives out there.
