Trymata Reviews & Overview

Becoming a Trymata tester is free. To get started, head over to the platform's website and create an account. You can do this by signing up via email.

From there, you'll be asked to fill out some demographic information, including your gender, birth year, country of residence, household income, education level, employment status, family status, children status, community type, social networks usage, zip/postal code, and finally, the devices you have access to.

All of your demographic attributes are what Trymata uses to match you up with relevant tests, so be sure to answer honestly and accurately. You can update your information in the future if it changes.

Once you're in the platform, you'll have to take a qualification test before you start receiving real, paid tests. You can read the Trymata guidelines and watch example tests before getting started. The qualification test is unpaid but should only take 10-30 minutes max. Approval can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks (or longer).

There are two primary ways to earn money on Trymata:

• Unmoderated usability tests. The test process for these involves recording your device's screen and sharing your thoughts as you run through specific scenarios on a website or app. For example, you may be asked to go through an app's sign-up process while sharing your opinions about the user experience.
• Moderated usability tests. These are similar to unmoderated tests, except they're conducted live over webcam. In most cases, you'll need to share your face along with your screen and voice. Then, a researcher will walk you through the test live.

In some cases, after a test, you may also be asked to submit written responses about your experience.

Depending on the type and length of test you participate in, you'll typically earn $5 to $30 per test.

After each test, you'll also receive a score or rating based on your performance. It's important to keep your rating high as its what determines your test eligibility in the future.

Other ways to earn on Trymata include:

• (Coming soon) Referrals. According to Trymata, you should soon be able to refer new members to the platform for a commission. No specific details are available yet.

Once you have earned any amount of money (there's no minimum payout), you can cash out your Trymata earnings via PayPal.

After cashing out, you can expect to receive your Trymata payout in 0-5 days. (Payouts for approved tests are sent every weekday. Trymata says most tests are approved for payout within a few days.)

To create your Trymata customer account, head over to the Trymata website. When signing up, you'll be asked to provide your name, work email, phone number, job title, company name, password, and optionally, a promo code.

Trymata's testing software walks you through the test setup process step-by-step.

The process is broken down into 5 steps total:

1. Basics. Give your test a title, choose the type of interface you're testing, pick the device you want users to use, enter the URL to your test, and select the number of testers you need.
2. Audience. Use your own testers or build your target audience from Trymata's crowd of testers. You can filter testers by demographics like gender, age, country, and more. You can then create a screener survey to further qualify testers.
3. Test script. Create the actual script that you want testers to follow!
4. Post-test. Create survey questions for your testers to answer once they're finished going through your test script.

Once you're finished creating your test, you can review it and then get it running.
