Status & Points
Primary OpenUnited activities relate to Challenges and their Bounties, Ideas & Bugs. Whilst earning payments by completing payment-eligible Bounties requires that you have first built your status to "Honeybee" or higher, you can claim Bounties on Challenges immediately after joining.
Irrespective of status, all users are able to submit Ideas & Bugs on public products and to claim most Bounties.
So, if you haven’t already; please join OpenUnited and get started today.

Some OpenUnited functionality, such as the ability to earn payment for payment-eligible Bounties, requires a particular status. Ultimately, the more you use openunited.com in a constructive way, the more points you earn, the higher your status and the more privileges you unlock.
If your product is invited to openunited.com, then your product will receive a grant of points that is decided by the nominating Beekeeper. A second Beekeeper must agree with a product being invited and the points granted.
For companies: you can select one of our paid plans and receive points each month that you allocate to Products, Challenges and Bounties according to the effort and priority that you determine. Our starter plan gives you 200 points per month.
Beekeepers may at their discretion distribute points to registered users, or make points available to newcomers as part of campaigns.
