If you like mystery shopping, a product tester job is kind of similar, but the difference is, you can do it all from home. It’s super easy, and anyone can do it; you don’t need any experience or special skills. Although some sites might require you to be a content creator, there are plenty of options that let you just try products, share your opinions, provide feedback, or write a short review. It’s an easy way to make some extra cash while getting free products. It’s kind of similar to mystery shopping, but with product tester jobs, you don’t have to leave your house, the products get delivered to you, and you share your feedback
So, what does a product tester actually do?
When you become a product tester, companies will send products straight to your home for you to try out and review. Your job is to use the product as you normally would while paying attention to everything from quality, packaging, design, color, and comfort, to effectiveness and overall experience. Certain tests might ask you to use a specific amount of the product. Depending on the test, you might need to complete surveys, write reviews, take photos or videos, or even share your thoughts on social media. Most companies will let you keep the products, and some companies even provide gift cards along with the products as extra rewards.
Here is the list of 12 Product Tester Jobs to Earn Money & Get Free Stuff
1. The Pink Panel
The Pink Panel product tester jobs are mostly in beauty products like skincare, haircare, and makeup. You provide some personal info, complete surveys, and if you match their criteria, they send products for testing. This platform stands out because you get free products as well as gift cards worth between $25-$100 or a free beauty product. Beauty products can be pricey too, like $70 face creams or $250 hair dryers. According to their site, you can get 1–3 or more product tests a week, though sometimes only a few per month. But people who have done tests with them say that after each study, they ask if you’ve participated in any campaigns in the last six months. This is to give other product testers a chance to participate. Answering “no” can increase your chances of being selected again, while “yes” might limit you to one test every six months. This program is only open to women 18+ in the USA and Canada.
2. BzzAgent
BzzAgent is another popular option for product tester jobs. I have not seen a single bad review about them, except for not having enough campaigns, and also, testers said that it takes time to get testing jobs from them. They usually send full-size products rather than small samples, which is a huge perk, and most items tend to be of slightly higher value. You might get anything from skincare items to high-end haircare products. Once you’re selected, you’ll write a review and sometimes post it on multiple websites. It’s simple, not time-consuming, and the products are worth it. You always get to keep the items, even though they don’t pay cash or gift cards. BzzAgent product testing job is available only in the United States, Canada, and the UK.
3. Influenster
Influenster is another highly rated product testing platform that lets you get free products in exchange for your feedback. You can join from many countries, but VoxBoxes—the free product boxes are only available to members in the US, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, and the UK, and most of the European countries. You need to fill out your profile in the app, like connecting social accounts, and stay active in the community. Linking more socials and leveling up your tier can increase your chances of getting more VoxBoxes. Influenster has the most and the largest variety of products on the list.
VoxBoxes are boxes of free products you get to test and review. You get to keep the products; there are no incentives like gift cards or cash rewards. I’ve personally seen testers get high-value items like Bose speakers, coffee machines, and other pricey gadgets.
4. Skeepers (formerly Octoly)
Skeepers is another platform where you can get products to review. They have a non-creator part and a part for content creators. I’m signed up with the free account and do the normal reviews on sites like Sephora and Nordstrom. I just check the app at least 5-6 times a day to see if anything new is there because things go quickly. Skeepers is good for makeup, skincare, and perfume. The only problem is that the “drops” disappear quickly, so you have to join a group that lets you know when a drop happens, or you’ll never get any free products. I’ve been a member for just two months and have already gotten 5 free items. Skeepers product testing is available in the United States, Germany, Brazil, Spain, France, Italy, and Portugal.
5. Topbox Circle
Topbox Circle is a popular product testing site in Canada. Just sign up on the top box website and fill out the surveys that pop up on your dashboard & then you’ll get an email if you get picked to try something. It’s about as random as every other freebie site on how often you get stuff. Once selected, you simply try the product and submit a review, sometimes via a screenshot from the retailer’s site. Make sure your profile is complete, including your mailing info and preferences, as this increases your chances of getting more campaigns. It’s an easy way to get free products while sharing your feedback. Topbox is worth sticking with, too. I didn’t get anything early on when I started applying for things, but I’ve gotten a lot. It comes in bursts usually–like I’ll get 4 or 5 things in a couple weeks, then nothing for months. Topbox circle works only in Canada.

6. Amazon Vine
Amazon Vine works differently from most product tester jobs. It’s invitation-only, and Amazon selects participants based on review history. You order products for free in exchange for reviews. Reviews get a “Vine Voice” label for credibility. Vine has tiers: Silver allows up to three products per day, Gold lets you order more, including high-value items like electronics or appliances. You don’t earn points or cash, but you receive actual products, often high-value, which can sometimes be taxable depending on your country.
7. Home Tester Club
Home Tester Club is another popular platform. They recently launched their app. You just sign up on their app, check their site for new items, complete a short survey to see if you qualify, and then receive the product. After using it, you provide a quick review. They have a wider variety of products in my experience, but it’s pretty hit or miss whether or not you’ll be sent anything. They have a range of items, from beauty products to household essentials, and you always get to keep them for free. There are no other incentives. They’ll email you when the product is ready to review. It’ll pop up eventually within the week, unless the campaign has any issues. Product testing jobs for Home Tester Club are available in Australia, South Africa, Canada, the US, India, the UK, and in most Asian and European countries.
8. Stellar Reviews
Stellar Reviews is another reliable product testing site. But the thing is, it is an invite-only, so you have to sign up on their waitlist form. I have not seen many reviews about Stellar, maybe because only a few people work for them since it is invite-only. But I have seen people mentioning that the products are mostly kids’ stuff. Stellar product tester jobs are available only in the US and Canada.
9. Product Report Card
Product Report Card offers both a survey and a product testing opportunity occasionally, which they will send if you qualify. Most of their campaigns are for hair, skincare products, food or snacks, cleaning items, etc. According to their website, product testing can pay anywhere from $2.00 to $250.00, depending on the details and requirements, on top of getting the products for free, which is great. The minimum cash out is $25 Amazon gift card. Product Report Card primarily works in the US and Canada.
10. Pinecone Research
Pinecone Research mixes surveys with product tester jobs; it’s similar to Product Report Card. They cover many categories: home goods, beauty, music, sports, and more. You receive invites based on your profile, test products or survey ideas, and help brands decide what to launch. They used to pay about $3 per survey, but reduced it to $1, and also added a minimum withdrawal of $10, so you must do 10 surveys to be able to withdraw. Points can be redeemed for PayPal cash, gift cards, or rewards. Pinecone Research product tester jobs and surveys are available in the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Italy, and France.
11. Upwork
Upwork sometimes has job posts for reviewing things on Amazon, they usually what you to write a review and take pictures or maybe a video. I haven’t tried, but make sure to read reviews and all that to make sure it is not a scam.

12. Dscout
Dscout is more like a user testing or survey site, but occasionally has product testing offers. Product testing is not as common with them, but I have gotten a few missions where I get free items in exchange for trying them out for the mission. It’s extra nice given how well-paid Dscout missions are. Dscout works in most countries, but their customer base is mostly from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and Japan, so you might not get a lot of missions if you are not from one of these countries. I think it is really worth signing up for Dscout, even if you don’t get product testing jobs because they have a lot of high-paying missions, and I have seen a lot of people earning as much as $1200 a month.
Similar to Dscout, Sago Focus Groups occasionally have product trials, most commonly skincare trials, where you try out the product and provide text/photos/videos of your experience. Sago Focus Group currently works only in the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, and Spain.
Final Thoughts
Product tester jobs aren’t guaranteed every week; you might not get any for months. I’ve seen people wait as long as six months to a year before being selected, and once they finally got in, the campaigns started coming consistently. I’ve also seen testers get several campaigns in a single week. It really depends on your demographic and what the companies are looking for at the time. The best way to increase your chances is to sign up for as many product tester jobs and platforms as you can, keep your profiles updated, and be patient.
The list given here is legit, but be cautious of spammy advertising about product tester jobs; they are fake ads that waste your time or sell your info.
I hope one of these opportunities works out for you. Thanks for reading!
