The place where developers meet testers.
IndieStaff connects indie game developers with independent playtesters. Developers book a playtest at the tester's price. Testers get paid when the work is accepted.
For testers
I test games
Set your own price and scope. Get paid for the feedback you already give.
Your money is safe until the job is done.
You pay when you book. The tester is only paid once you confirm the work is done. If they never deliver, you get your money back.
Free to join.
No subscriptions or monthly fees, for testers or developers. We only earn when a playtest is paid: 20% of the price, payment processing included. Developers pay the tester's price, with no booking fee on top.

Questions
What if the tester never delivers?
After the delivery deadline the tester has a 24-hour grace period. If nothing is delivered by then, you can cancel and get a full refund.
What does IndieStaff cost?
Joining is free, with no subscriptions or monthly fees. Testers set their prices, from EUR 10. We only earn when a playtest is paid: 20% of the price, payment processing included.
What are ratings and reviews?
After each playtest, the developer and the tester rate each other. They are about working together, not reviews of your game, which stays private. Tester ratings are public; developer ratings are visible only to testers. Neither side sees the other's rating until both have rated or 7 days have passed.
