Early Testing

Help us build the thing you've been waiting for

This is not the public beta. Before we get there, we are bringing in a first group of artists to test an early, unfinished build alongside the team.

The public beta comes later. This is what comes before that.

What we ask of you

Use Sonic Grid for real. Build out your profile, publish your story, and engage with the platform the way you actually would.
Around 3 to 5 hours a week during the 8-week testing period.
Feedback in the tester Discord. Bugs, friction, things that feel wrong. We read all of it.
Two short surveys over the course of the testing period.

What you get

Access months before launch with a direct line to the people building it.
Real influence. Tester feedback shapes the roadmap, not a suggestion box.
3 months of Pro, free. Testers who meet the required usage get 3 months of the Pro tier on us.
Founding tester status with rewards at launch. We will spell these out in your welcome kit before you commit a single hour.

I can give around 3 to 5 hours a week for 8 weeks

I will join the tester Discord and share feedback there

I understand this is unfinished software. Things will break, and telling us when they do is the whole point.

I will keep beta features and screenshots private until launch

We review applications weekly and accept testers in small cohorts. If you are not selected, you keep your spot in line for early access.
