Detailed Review
Testbirds sells people rather than infrastructure. A crowd of testers uses your website or app on their own devices, and you receive reported bugs and usability findings instead of a pass or fail from a script.
The legal imprint names Testbirds GmbH in Munich, Amtsgericht München HRB 199376, and the site shows an international head office entry for Testbirds B.V. in the Netherlands. The logo describes the company as part of the Unguess Group.
Test Types
Offerings include exploratory bug testing, structured testing, localisation, regression and payment testing, usability studies, competitor analysis and accessibility testing.
Self-Service Bug Tests
An exploratory bug test can be configured without a project or lead time, starts at 10 testers, and returns results within 48 hours according to the site. Nothing is charged until the test is set live.
Bring Your Own Crowd
Teams can run tests with their own users through the Bring-Your-Own-Crowd option, which keeps testers inside the customer relationship.
Limitations to Consider
Crowdtesting is manual and priced per project, so it cannot replace automated regression runs in a CI pipeline. The ownership chain through the Unguess Group was not checked beyond the logo, and no public price list was found. For repeatable scripted runs use TestingBot.
Who Should Use Testbirds
Teams launching a consumer web or mobile product who want real users on many devices to find defects and usability issues, contracted with a German company.
