PlaytestCloud is for two groups: (1) Game developers looking to conduct remote playtests of their mobile games with players from around the world; and (2) Gamers looking to earn money by testing mobile games and providing feedback on their experiences.
Best For
UserTesting is for those looking to conduct user tests and/or those looking to get paid to participate in them. If you're the former, the platform offers a wide range of tools and assistance to help you get your test done right. If you're the latter, UserTesting can provide a nice side income -- but, keep in mind that it won't replace a full-time job.
