Empowering smart electronics purchases through free testing tools
We believe everyone deserves to make confident purchasing decisions when buying electronics. Whether you're buying a used monitor, testing a gaming controller, or checking audio equipment, having the right tools can save you from costly mistakes.
TestBeforeYouBuy provides completely free, browser-based testing tools that work instantly on any device. No downloads, no sign-ups, no hidden fees - just the tools you need to test electronics properly.
The used electronics market is huge, but buying second-hand can be risky. Dead pixels, controller drift, audio channel issues - these problems aren't always obvious during a quick inspection.
We created TestBeforeYouBuy to give buyers the same testing capabilities that professionals use, but in a simple, accessible format that anyone can use. Our tools help you:
No premium versions, no paywalls, no trial periods. Every tool is completely free to use.
Start testing immediately. No email addresses, no accounts, no personal information needed.
Browser-based tools work on any device - phones, tablets, computers, any operating system.
Industry-standard testing methods presented in a user-friendly interface.
