How the multiplier applies
At Campaign settlement (day 14, or auto-confirm at day 17), TestHive computes each tester's payout using a weighted distribution:
your_payout = (your_weight / total_team_weight) × tester_pool
A practical example with 6 C-level + 6 S-level testers sharing a 600 T-Coin daily pool:
- Total team weight = 6 × 1.00 + 6 × 1.10 = 12.60
- Each C earns floor(600 × 1.00 / 12.60) = 47 T-Coin
- Each S earns floor(600 × 1.10 / 12.60) = 52 T-Coin
Higher-level testers earn ~10% more for the same work, recognizing their proven track record reduces Campaign risk for developers.
How to climb fast
The fastest path:
- Complete Campaigns end-to-end — partial attendance doesn't count
- Stay in Karma economy first — there are more Karma Campaigns than T-Coin, so faster volume
- Maintain a clean violation record — getting flagged for missed deadlines slows your matchability
There is no shortcut. You can't buy levels. You can't transfer Completed Apps from another platform. Every level point comes from a real 14-day Closed Testing window verified by Google Play.
Joining a Studio at S+
Once you hit S-level (10+ Completed Apps), you can apply to own a Studio — a team of up to 12 testers (or 25 with Expanded tier) you organize and dispatch work to. See the Studio guide for details.
