passbrains is headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland, and was founded in 1989 as PASS Group. PASS Group launched passbrains in January 2012 to offer crowdtesting services, focusing initially on exploratory testing. The company changed its brand to passbrains and became crowdtesting-centric.
passbrains has a community size of 40k members. The company is primarily active in Europe.
passbrains has a specific profile in the crowdtesting industry. The company has a background in conducting exploratory testing mostly for usability research and testing needs, and functional testing.

Currently, passbrains derives ~60% of its revenues from user research and testing and ~40% from functional testing and specialized services.
