Is UserTesting worth it? Its real pay, after the fees nobody lists

Partial — your numbers

PARTIAL — this page runs on your numbers

UserTesting publishes a pay model, never what you net per total hour in your city — and no truthful per-city dataset exists. This checker takes your logged numbers; any national band shown is labeled with its source and is a sanity rail, never a promise.

UserTesting pays real money for spoken opinions, at published per-test rates — and the honest catch is the funnel before the test: screeners you fail pay nothing. PARTIAL because your qualification rate is yours alone. Log the screeners; everyone else forgets them, which is why everyone else's hourly is fiction.

The part the poster skips: Ten screeners at three minutes each is half an hour of unpaid auditions per paid test. The people who rate UserTesting highly are the people whose profiles match many tests — it is a fit question before it is a pay question.
