Paying to Be a Beta Tester? Really?
Paying to be a beta tester: is this a new trend? Glass Series was available to patron subscribers only while being in beta testing. RealMac Software offers Elements in beta as a subscription but at a reduced price. Active beta testers are actually paying of their time to use a software still being debugged and refined. Isn’t that enough? I understand that building software is hard and requires resources… but paying to be a beta tester seems to cross a line here.
Greg Morris I don’t see an issue in giving your paying subscribers an early preview of your app or new features.
Kinda what charging a subscription is all about.
Numeric Citizen @gregmorris but here the two examples were about a product that is not yet available to the public nor the general subscribers.
Greg Morris indeed. Still don’t see an issue in giving a select few, particularly those that backed you from the start (kickstarter members, founders whatever) a preview.
