Beta Tester

SonicCritic is a direct-to-fan music streaming platform that pays artists fairly and shows exactly how. Listeners subscribe for $10.99 a month, and 88% of net subscription revenue goes straight to the artists they actually listen to. Every artist payment is posted publicly on our transparency page. No fan data harvesting, no crypto, no pro-rata pool.

We're live on iOS and the web at soniccritic.ai, with Android coming soon. We're looking for a small group of Founding Beta Testers to use the platform like real fans and artists, find what's broken or confusing, and help shape what SonicCritic becomes.

What you'll do

As a listener tester, you'll sign up, subscribe, stream music and comedy, explore the forum and the Ai critic, and report bugs, playback problems, and anything that feels off.

As an artist tester, you'll upload original tracks, set up splits with collaborators, complete verification, connect payouts, and review your earnings reports. We especially want to know if the payout math makes sense to you.

All testers will share short written feedback or screen recordings and join occasional feedback calls with the founder.

Who we're looking for

Music lovers who notice details, and independent artists, producers, or comedians who own their work. Android users are our priority right now, but Apple users welcome as well. No tech background required, just honesty and specifics.

Commitment

Roughly 1/2 hour per week for 4 weeks, on your own schedule. Fully remote.

Perks

Free subscription for 3 months. Founding artists keep 100% of net subscription revenue for their first six months. You'll get a direct line to the founder and real influence over the product.

To apply

Tell us whether you're joining as a listener or an artist, what device you use, and one thing you wish music streaming did differently.
