- Recording a burn in the browserOpen the burn, read the brief, press Start, allow the microphone, and share the tab or window with the site. Talk the whole time, hit two minutes, then write your notes and submit.
- Why Chrome shows a share dialog (and what to pick)Browsers never let a web page choose what to record. For sites that block embedding, BurnTest asks Chrome to share your browser window and opens the site in a new tab in the same click. Pick the window that shows the site.
- Recording a mobile burn on your phoneUse your phone's built-in screen recorder with the microphone on, browse the site while talking, then upload the video from the burn page.
- Written notes at the end of every burnAfter recording you answer the site owner's closing question and a couple of short prompts in writing, plus a would-you-buy score from 1 to 10. Notes are required to submit.
- The two-minute minimumEvery burn must be at least two minutes of recording with you talking. Shorter burns can't be submitted, and a submitted burn that's under two minutes is grounds for rejection and a cooldown.
- Microphone blocked or no sound in the recordingAllow the microphone from the lock icon in the address bar, check the right input is selected, and on phones turn the mic on in the screen recorder before you start.

For site owners · Getting started
What exactly is a burn?
One burn = one real person screen-recording themselves using your website while they talk through what they're thinking. You get the video, a full transcript, and an AI-generated Fire Score report. Most burns run 5–12 minutes.
For site owners · Getting started
Do new accounts really get a free burn?
Yes. Create an account, paste a URL, and your first burn is on us. No credit card. If you like what you see, buy a pack. If you don't, you've lost nothing but ten minutes.
For site owners · Getting started
What you get with every burn
A screen + voice recording, a timestamped transcript, the reviewer's written notes and would-buy score, a free instant AI read of the page, and a human Fire Score with ranked findings.
For site owners · Briefs & targeting
How to write a brief reviewers can act on
Describe the person, give them one job, tell them what you're worried about, and ask one question at the end. Five sentences is the sweet spot.
For site owners · Reviewing burns
Approving and rejecting a burn
Approving gives the reviewer Heat (their reputation score); rejecting costs them Heat. Rejecting a burn that's silent, short, off-site or ignores your brief creates a free replacement burn automatically.
For site owners · Scores & reports
What is the AI Fire Score?
A 0–100 score, generated per burn and per site, across clarity, trust, navigation, offer strength, and conversion readiness. It's a compass, not a verdict — the recordings are where the real answers live.
For site owners · Billing & credits
How much does it cost?
5 burns for $50, 10 for $80, 20 for $100. All one-time payments. An AI-only Fire Score with no human reviewers is $5. Your first burn is free.
For site owners · Billing & credits
What's your refund policy?
Bad burn? Replaced free. Unused credits? Refunded within 14 days, no questions. Used credits are non-refundable because a real person already did the work. The $5 AI Fire Score is refunded automatically if the audit fails.
