| uTest publicizes adequate contact information, such as support email addresses, a physical address, and a phone number. | | | Fees and Payments |  |
|---|
| uTest's fee structure is a bit confusing. It offers three payment models: a single testing cycle payment model, a test cycle package with a 14 day limit model, and a monthly subscription model. Each model appears to accompany a monthly subscription, nevertheless, which is required in full whether single testing is completed prior to a month's end or not. Subscriptions may be terminated only after giving a ninety (90) written day notice, and uTest does not issue 'roll over' credits. In addition, utest doesn't guarantee any number of testers, reported or approved test artifacts, or performance coverage. It accepts all major credit cards, but does not offer a money back guarantee. The only ramifications for poor tester (provider) performance, in fact, is a tester's removal from the service. | | | Consumer Security | |
|---|
| uTest works through a secured server and is declared 'Norton Safe'. It is not, however, accredited at the Better Business Bureau. | | | Full Disclosure | |
|---|
| uTest's full Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are open to the public, but it does not appear to offer a traditional FAQ file. | | | Buzz Factor |  |
|---|
| Onsite, uTest does not provide a ratings/feedback system because it doesn't work from a bidding platform. Offsite, the service is somewhat well-known, with only 746 external websites linking back to its own. See the Presence category for more. | | | Support | |
