Do you need to pay for beta testers?

Question

Have you beta-tested your solution before launch or launched the beta version and had people testing it live?

Accepted Answer

It's not a strict requirement, but providing some form of incentive, even if it's non-monetary (such as early access or exclusive features), can help attract and retain beta testers for your product.

@jonathantahiry go on Reddit ask people to test. Keep your money. Unless you are creating something that is super technical

@jonathantahiry SaaS and entrepreneurs subs. The. Ask for beta testers.

Nah, unless you really want to bug test. Not worth it for professionals.
