As most of you know I’ve recently put out a list of 11 website usability testing jobs. One site on that list is TryMyUi so I decided to put out a more detailed review of this site. As you can see from the title this site pays right around the industry standard of $10 per test.
If you’re not familiar with usability testing, basically you’ll be taking a look at company websites and providing feedback on a list of tasks they provide you. Don’t worry it’s an extremely easy process and it’s pretty good money for the time it takes to complete a test.
With that being said, there are not enough tests to make this a full-time income. If you’re interested in making a large online income, check out My #1 Recommendation, it’s how I made over $13,000 online last month!
One of the great things about TryMyUi is they don’t require you to record yourself on all tests, which can be a hesitation for some people.
Let’s get started with this TryMyUi Review and learn more about this website usability testing job.
TryMyUI Requirements
Just like most usability testing sites, there really isn’t any requirements to join. You’ll need to be 18 and fluent in English. It’s required that you have a computer and if you’d like to complete recorded tests you’ll need a webcam and microphone. If you don’t have a webcam, I highly recommend this one on Amazon.
Other then these requirements they’re looking for normal consumers just like you and me. You don’t need any special skills or to be a computer wiz to apply and get accepted.
TryMyUI Application Process
The TryMyUI application process is pretty simple. First, you’ll fill out a pretty standard form that has basic demographic information on it. Kinda like signing up for a survey site, but seems to be much easier and not as many questions.
After you complete the form you’ll need to submit a sample test. You’ll need to record a sample test video along with a written test response. Both are very simple, they provide you with what they expect and how to kill both tests.
Whether you did good or not they will provide feedback on the test. If you’ve passed you can begin to take tests, if not you’ll need to improve before getting accepted. The whole application process should take you less then a hour and 24 hours for them to get back with you!
A Typical TryMyUI Test
After you’re accepted, you’ll begin to receive invites to tests to your email. One thing to keep in mind is these tests are first come first serve, so if you want to complete a test and get paid you need to act pretty quickly.
Once you open the link you’ll find all the documentation about the test. You’ll see the website and what tasks they’ve laid out for you to complete.
If you’re not familiar with usability testing, here’s an example. Some tests may ask you to add items to your shopping cart, some may ask you to navigate to a certain page of the site, and some may have you use a special feature of the website.
No matter what they ask you to do, you’ll complete the tasks and provide feedback while completing each task. Basically they’ll want to hear what you liked, what was difficult or confusing to you, and any improvements you might have.
After you complete the test, usually takes 15-20 minutes, you’ll submit your test. Your test will then be reviewed and approved. That brings us to the payment portion of TryMyUI.
How Much Does TryMyUI Pay?
TryMyUi pays $10 per test. From what I can see written tests pay the same as recorded tests, but I’m not 100% sure on that. TryMyUI pays with PayPal only. Once your test is approved, usually within 24 hours, funds will be added to your account.
On their website, they say they pay twice a week, usually. No exact answer on this, but if you complete a test on Tuesday you should have funds in your PayPal account by the end of the week!
How Much Can You Really Make?
This is a very important part of the review that I wanted to make clear. Website Usability Testing sites are not to be considered a full-time income. There are a limited number of tests and you’ll have to meet the demographics to have a chance to take the test.
Website testing should be extra income that can be combined with other extra income jobs or as some extra spending money each month.
From what I can see most members receive 1-4 test each month, depending on demographics.
If usability testing is something you’re interested in you should sign up for multiple site. This will give you more tests and a chance at a larger income each month!
Is TryMyUI A Scam?
There is nothing about TryMyUI that makes this company a scam. There is proof that they’re paying their testers the $10 they promised per test. Overall I think this is a pretty good site to join. I really like that some tests are written, which eliminates a lot of concerns from some that aren’t comfortable with being recorded.
I can’t find any real alarming negative feedback about this company. I’d say as long as you know this won’t be a full-time income you should be pretty happy testing for this company.

As mentioned this should be combined with other incomes to make a decent online income. I’d check out some of my other work at home jobs and extra income sites to build a larger income.

Hopefully you enjoyed this TryMyUI Review! Have you worked for this company? Interested in $10 for 20 minutes of your time testing websites? Let me hear your thoughts in the comments below!
Guys, please don’t fall for this site! On my dashboard, it’s clearly displayed that my tests were approved….to add insult to injury, they have shown PAID as the status.
THEY DO NOT PAY TESTERS. THEY DON’T EVEN BOTHER TO RESPOND TO MAILS!
I have tried connecting with them through their support page, Facebook…. no use. Just check their fb page…. you won’t find the option to add reviews! Why? Bc people will use that to reveal this scam!
You will not be payed! I completed a few tests and was never paid for them, even though they were “accepted by the customer”. I contacted the company and never got a response. Dont waste your time!
Hi Brok!
Thank you for your well written article.
I have done 4 tests for trymyui. I am a Sr. IT Manager by trade.
They have yet to pay me for 4 tests. 1 was approved and the others are still pending customer approval. Their policy on their website states that after 4 business days if the customer did not object, they will mark it to approved and pay. That did not happen. I emailed them about it. Just my experience.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Theresa. Please follow up on this and let me know if you experience more issues. From what I’ve heard people have had good experiences with the company so please let me know if it’s otherwise.

Hi Brok! This is something new for me – I have never heard about usability testing sites and that you can earn money this way.
This is interesting information and this will be useful for people who prefer to work from home.
$ 10 per one test – and if you do 10 tests daily, you will earn $ 100 per day. This is great!
I am just wondering how many invitations per day you may receive?
Thank you for information.
Thank you for reading my TryMyUI Review, but I need to clear something up for you.
This really isn’t a work at home job where you can sit down and complete tests all day long. There’s not enough test available to do this full time.
It’s more of a extra income site, when tests come in you can make $10 per test, which is a good pay rate when you look at home much time it takes to complete a test, but there’s not enough to work long hours with this site.
Hopefully that clears up your questions about TryMyUi.
If you have any other questions or concerns just let me know

Well it did sound like an interesting way to make money online until I came to the end of your review – 1 to 4 tests available a month depending on demographics…
That’s nothing more than pocket money really ( and not much of that!).
What would you recommend to someone looking for a more full time income on the internet?
Hey Chris thanks for checking out my review,
You’re right that this isn’t going to be more than some extra spending money. Basically all usability testing sites only have a few tests each month.
If usability testing is something you’re interested in I recommend joining a few sites from this list of 11 sites.
But what I really recommend for a larger income is my #1 recommendation. Check it out and see how I make money online and how you can too!
Hope this helps,
Brok
Hey, Brok, this is a very simple and easy to follow testing site. TRYUMI seem to be a very ligit company, and paying their subscribers seem to be straight forward.
I will definitely think about joining this company, cause I have a little free time to spare. You mention it will be good to have more testing sites to increase your income, how do I find these other sites?
Cheers

Hey Bishop thanks for stopping by.
You’re right that TryMyUI is a great way to make some extra cash.
If you’d like to see some other sites I recommend, head over to 11 usability testing jobs.
Most of the sites on this list are similar to TryMyUI and pay from $8-$12 per test.
Hope this helps

Hi Brok, quite an interesting product that can try it out. I check out their website after reading your review. I got to agree with you, there nothing to raise red flags.
Will consider to give it a try. After all there nothing to lose. I like what you are doing and give readers the test out the right tools.
Great review bro.

Cena thanks for the kind comment.
Like you said nothing that screams scam and I’ve worked with the company a bit so I know they’re legit. If you’re looking to make some extra cash each month TryMyUI is a great option!
You may be interested in some of my other extra income sites too!
Hope this helps and thanks for stopping by,
Brok
