Testerup App Review: How I Earned $72.50 Playing Mobile Games

Testerup pays users to test apps, play mobile games, and answer quick surveys. This is my Testerup review based on a week of testing the app and cashing out.

If you’re looking to earn a bit of extra income using only your phone, Testerup is worth a look. Over the course of one week I earned $72.50 by completing fairly simple tasks—mostly playing mobile games I already enjoy, such as Monopoly Go and Match Masters, plus a few short surveys.

What is Testerup?

Testerup is a get-paid-to (GPT) app that rewards users for testing apps, completing offers, playing mobile games, and answering short surveys. The company behind the app is based in Germany, and the service is available to adults (18+) in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The app is free to download and has a large user base with millions of installs.

After creating an account, you can browse available tasks and see the payout for each. Tasks range from short surveys that pay a few dollars to game-based offers that reward you for reaching specific milestones, making in-app purchases, or finishing levels. Payouts are added to your account balance and can be withdrawn via PayPal once you meet the minimum cashout threshold.

At the time I tested the app, available offers included a mix of survey payouts and high-value game milestones. Some of the example offers I saw included high dollar amounts for major game milestones; however, those typically require significant time or in-app actions to complete.

How does Testerup work?

Registration is straightforward: sign up with an email address or log in via Google. Once logged in, you’ll see a dashboard listing available offers and their payout amounts. Typical steps for completing a task are:

  1. Sign up for Testerup.
  2. Choose a task from the dashboard (games, app tests, or surveys).
  3. Follow the instructions closely (for games, this often means downloading from links provided and reaching specific milestones).
  4. Complete the offer exactly as required so the platform can track it.
  5. After verification, the reward is credited to your account.

Tasks display their payout value, which helps you prioritize offers that are worth your time. Some game offers can pay well but demand many hours of gameplay or specific in-app actions. During my week-long test, everything I completed tracked correctly and payments were verified without issues.

My experience: How I earned $72.50

I tested Testerup for seven days. Most earnings came from playing mobile games and hitting required milestones. I also completed three very short surveys that paid $1.10, $0.90, and $0.70 respectively. The total for the week came to $72.50, and I was able to cash out once I reached the app’s $70 minimum withdrawal amount.

The app tracked progress in real time and payments were credited as offers were verified. After requesting a payout, the money arrived in my PayPal account within about one day. The app did require a face verification step before allowing a payout, which is a one-time requirement to confirm identity.

Keep in mind, earning similar amounts may require several hours of gameplay or completing multiple tasks. If you already spend time playing mobile games, Testerup can convert some of that time into extra cash without feeling like additional work.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Free to use with no subscription fees.
  • High-paying game offers are available, though they often require significant effort.
  • Short surveys can pay reasonably well for the time they take.
  • Easy-to-navigate app and clear instructions for each task.
  • PayPal payouts and relatively fast transfer once verified.
  • Limited ad interruptions compared with other reward apps.

Cons:

  • The $70 minimum payout is relatively high and can take time to reach for casual users.
  • Identity verification (face check) is required before cashing out.
  • Some tasks, especially high-value game milestones, can take many hours or require in-app purchases.
  • Payouts are PayPal only; no direct bank transfers or gift card options in my experience.

Is Testerup worth it?

Testerup can be a worthwhile way to earn extra money if you enjoy mobile games or don’t mind investing time into tasks to reach milestone rewards. It is not a path to significant income, but it is a legitimate option for pocket money and rewards you for activities you might already do on your phone. The main caveat is the $70 payout threshold and the time some offers require.

Important tips if you try Testerup: read each task’s instructions carefully, use only one account, and complete the face verification if you plan to withdraw your earnings. Also, ensure you have not previously installed or used the game or app tied to an offer—most tasks only pay for first-time installs or first-time completions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Testerup really pay?

Yes—Testerup pays when tasks are completed exactly as instructed and after any required verification steps. In my test, offers tracked correctly and I received a PayPal payout after reaching the minimum withdrawal amount.

How much can you earn?

Earnings depend on the number and type of tasks you complete. Some users earn over $100 by targeting high-value offers, while casual users may earn less. My one-week test earned $72.50.

Why does Testerup pay people to play games?

Developers and advertisers pay Testerup to acquire new users and gather data on how real players interact with their apps and games. Testerup passes part of that payment back to users who complete the required actions.

Are there fees to cash out?

There were no fees for PayPal withdrawals in my experience, but you must reach at least $70 before you can request a payout.

Do you need to verify your identity?

Yes. Testerup requires a face verification step to confirm account ownership before allowing payouts, which helps prevent fraud and ensures payments go to real people.

Is Testerup available everywhere?

No. At the time of my testing, Testerup was available to users in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom only.

Is Testerup a scam?

I do not believe Testerup is a scam. In my testing I earned rewards that tracked correctly and I successfully cashed out to PayPal. As with any rewards app, results will vary by user and offer, so follow instructions carefully and document progress if an offer doesn’t track.

Summary

Testerup is a legitimate GPT app that can turn mobile playtime into extra cash. It’s best suited for people who already enjoy mobile games or who don’t mind investing time into reaching game milestones. My week-long test yielded $72.50, paid to PayPal after I completed required verification. If you want a simple side hustle from your phone, Testerup is worth trying—just be prepared for the $70 minimum withdrawal and the time some offers require.
