Q1How do credits work?

Credits fund QA requests for your WordPress plugins and themes. Testers earn credits by completing QA sessions for other makers, and owners spend credits to request feedback on their apps. New members receive 20 starter credits for adding their first app and publishing a QA request, or 50 credits if registered through LinkedIn or Reddit. Credits can also be purchased: 50 credits for $5 USD, 500 credits for $29 USD with a 1.5× boost, or 1,000 credits for $49 USD with a 2× boost. Credits do not expire and are for use within PluginPeer only.

Q2What is the maximum length of a recording?

Recordings have a maximum of 10 minutes of active recording time. Testers can pause when needed and add feedback with screenshots and annotations during testing.

Q3How do monthly subscriptions work?

You can turn on monthly subscriptions for any credit package at the same one-time price, charged monthly until you cancel. Your first payment delivers the base credits, and each consecutive successful renewal adds a loyalty bonus of 10% of the base package, up to a maximum of +100%. Every subscription payment includes the same boost as a one-time purchase: 1.5× for 7 days with 500 credits or 2× for 7 days with 1,000 credits (the 50-credit package has no boost).

Q4What tools are available in the WordPress Playground?

PluginPeer's self-hosted WordPress Playground includes tools to inspect the environment: revisit pages in History, view PHP Logs, read captured emails in Mails, explore the REST API, adjust date and time, open Site Health, and run cron jobs. You can also inspect the WordPress database using Adminer and test as different user accounts with varying permissions.

Q5How does tester reputation work?

App owners rate completed QA sessions as OK or Not OK, assessing whether the work was useful and carefully performed. OK ratings add 1 reputation point, Not OK subtracts 1, and unrated sessions contribute 0. Ratings affect reputation, not credit transfers. At -5 reputation, you see a warning. At -10 or below, you cannot start or submit QA sessions for other makers or add, change or remove ratings. You can still add apps, request QA, and receive feedback at this threshold.
