FAQ
Answers for makers wondering how this community works and why it is useful.
Who can join this community?

No. IndieAppCircle is free to join. You earn credits by testing other apps, then use those credits to submit your own app for review.
What kind of apps can I get tested?
Web apps, mobile apps, browser extensions, AI tools, SaaS products, and side projects are all welcome.

Straight answers
What people usually want to know before they list an app here.
Is IndieAppCircle really free?
Yes. You get 5 credits when you join. Test 2 apps and your app goes live. Every test you give that gets approved earns credits, and you spend credits when you approve feedback on your own app. No card needed. If you'd rather skip the testing, a one-time 19€ Permanent Listing puts your app live straight away.
How fast will I get feedback?
There is no fixed turnaround, because the testers are other developers, not staff. Three things speed it up: clear test instructions, a fair credit reward, and the +5 bonus the first tester on every new app earns, which makes new listings worth picking early.
Who are the testers?
Other indie developers and founders who are getting their own apps tested too. They are good at spotting confusing onboarding, unclear copy, bugs and missing basics. They are not your target users, so treat their feedback as a sharp first pass before launch, not as market research.
What if the feedback is lazy?
Reject it and it costs you nothing. You only spend credits on feedback you approve. Feedback you don't review within 48 hours is approved automatically, so check your inbox.
