About Testymo
The whole thing in one paragraph
Testymo is testimonial software: businesses send a short form to their customers, approve every answer that comes back, and show the approved ones on their own site with one script tag. It is built and run by Anton Bakinouski, one person, in Poland. It costs nothing on the Free plan and $20 a month on Team, billed through Stripe. These marketing pages measure their own audience — Google Analytics and a cookieless page-view count — while the app and the widget on anyone else's site measure nothing at all. One address reaches a human: [email protected].
01 What Testymo is
Testymo is software for collecting customer testimonials and publishing them. The loop is three steps and the product is only those three steps: ask — you build a short form and share one link, and the person answering needs no account; approve — every submission lands in a queue and nothing is public until you say so; show — you pick one of eleven widget designs and paste a single script tag into your site. The front page walks the whole loop in six steps.
The widget is one static script with the approved testimonials already inside it, rather than a script that fetches them afterwards. It sets no cookies, writes no local storage, fingerprints nobody and reports nothing back — which also means none of your traffic is metered: no view counters, no impression tiers, no widget that hides itself when a monthly view allowance runs out. There is no such counter to run out.
If a form asks its permission question, the respondent's answer — usable publicly, or only privately — is stored with the submission, shown to the business, and the Terms of Service require them to honor it. That record is the point of the product as much as the widget is.
One disambiguation, because the name invites it: Testymo — spelled with a y, at testymo.com — has nothing to do with software testing, QA or test management. Products with names a letter or two away work in that field; this is not one of them. Testimonials, and nothing else.
02 Who runs it
Anton Bakinouski, based in Poland. Not a founding team, not a department with a support tier: one person who writes the product, runs the servers, answers the email, and writes The Ledger — the field notes on asking for, keeping and showing customer proof that make up this site's blog.
That is also the legal answer, not just the friendly one. He is the data controller for everything the Privacy Policy describes, the "we" throughout the Terms of Service, and the party you would be contracting with. Testymo is run under Polish law, and Polish courts have jurisdiction.
03 What it costs
Two plans, both the same product — only the limits move. Free is $0 and stays $0: one form, one widget, ten submissions in total, just you, and a "Made with Testymo" badge on the public pages. Team is $20 per month: unlimited forms, widgets and submissions, up to six teammates, and the badge removed. The full table is on the pricing page. There is no sales call, no annual contract and no quote to request.
Billing runs through Stripe as merchant of record: Stripe issues the invoice, handles sales tax or VAT, and takes the card details directly — they never touch our servers. Upgrade, downgrade or cancel from inside the app at any time; a cancelled plan runs to the end of the period you paid for. Partial months are not prorated, but if a charge is our mistake, write and it gets refunded. Downgrading deletes nothing: everything you already made keeps working, you just cannot create past the Free limits — and if you are over the Free plan's ten-submission cap, your forms pause until you are back under it or upgrade again. Nothing is deleted either way.
04 What happens to your data
The short version is that Testymo collects what a login-and-billing product needs and nothing more. No data sales, no AI training, no advertising — on this site, in the app, or in the widget embedded on someone else's site. The marketing pages you're reading now do measure their audience, with Google Analytics and a cookieless page-view count; the app and the widget don't. The Privacy Policy says all of it by role: account holder, form respondent, widget viewer, passing visitor.
Everything runs on a server we control, with the database alongside the app. The complete list of third parties is three: Cloudflare in front of all traffic, for transactional email, and for storing uploaded photos and backups; Stripe for payments; and Google, for Analytics on these marketing pages and for sign-in if you choose it. No ad networks, no data brokers.
When your form collects personal data from a respondent, you are the controller and Testymo is your processor under Art. 28 GDPR — and the data-processing agreement is a clause inside the Terms.
05 What happens if it stops
A fair question to ask a one-person company, so it is answered in writing rather than in conversation. Your data is yours to take: ask before an account closes and it gets exported. And if Testymo ever shuts down for good, you get at least 30 days' notice and your data stays there to take with you until the end. Both promises are in the Terms, where they are enforceable, not on a slide.
06 How to reach a human
[email protected] — one address, read by the person who wrote the code. It is the route for all of it: questions before you sign up, bugs, billing mistakes, GDPR requests, deleting your account, and asking for a testimonial about you to be taken down.
If something in an article on The Ledger is wrong, that is the same address — corrections ship with an honest "updated" date.
