Ask HN: How much money would you beta test a startup for?

3 points by ndreckshage 12 years ago · 4 comments · 1 min read


$5? $10? $50? $Priceless? What would it take to get you to try out a new site? For a few minutes a day, over the course of a week or two?

DISCLAIMER -- No startup in mind / not willing to actually pay anyone anything! Just curious in hypothetical question...

If I thought it could provide me value, free. If I thought the concept was interesting but questioned if it would actually be worth my time as a real product, $20 for a week of testing.

All the feedback you would get would be inaccurate from those kind of beta testers.

Mainly because they will be there for the money, not for the utility the software brings to them.

$10 if it was an app that was interesting, $50 if it's something lame.

probably wouldn't if it was a financial website. or wanted too much personal info. free if it was a game.
