Wait, why is this even needed?
Why does Google require 12 testers and 14 days of testing?
Google requires every new personal developer account to run a Closed Testing cycle with at least 12 testers who stay continuously enrolled for 14 days - before you can even request production access (the version that goes live for everyone in the store). The requirement exists to prove the app was tested by real people, and Google looks at actual usage data: how many testers joined, how long they used the app, and what feedback was collected. We run the entire process for you - 12 real testers with real Android devices, testing scenarios, daily monitoring and a structured report - so that after 14 days you have both the requirement met and real answers for the production questionnaire.

Happy customers
Real customers, real WhatsApp screenshots.
Straight from our chats with Israeli customers (in Hebrew - that's where we started): finished cycles, delivered reports, and production approvals.
What do you actually get?
Paying for 12 testers? Recent cycles got up to 25.
At the end of the cycle you don't get a "done" message - you get a professional 20+ page QA report that prepares you for Google's production questionnaire.
Up to 25 real testers and devices
A full coverage table by Android version and RAM - from Android 10 to the newest, strong and weak devices alike.
Findings ranked by severity
Every bug with reproduction steps, expected vs. actual results, screenshots and a reference to the relevant Google policy section.
Three complete test sheets
End-to-end app testing, store listing review and functionality/usability testing - with a result for every scenario.
Ready answers for the production questionnaire
On Premium: the answers are written from your cycle's real findings - exactly what Google looks for, not a generic template.
No more "sure, I'll check it later"
Friends promise to help. Then another testing cycle burns.
Everyone wants to support you, but not everyone will test for 14 days, join on time, or give feedback that actually helps. The next cycle is open now.
Friends are not a QA team
They love you, but they have jobs, kids, errands and a tendency to forget right after "yeah, sure".
Another 14 days wasted
One tester who doesn't join in time can turn a whole cycle into another round of waiting.
Weak activity looks weak
Few sessions, short usage and generic feedback don't inspire confidence when you submit.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask us before they start
Why does Google require 12 testers?
Google requires new personal developer accounts to prove the app was tested by real people before it can be published. The requirement: at least 12 testers continuously enrolled for 14 days in Closed Testing - only then can you request production access (the version that goes live for everyone in the store).
How much does the service cost?
Three one-time plans per app: Standard Test $120, Premium Test $180 (up to 25 testers, full QA report and personalized production questionnaire answers) and the Up-to-Store package at $350, which also includes your store listing and guidance until the app is published. Any plan can add the Approval Guarantee for $45 - if Google rejects your production request, we handle the resubmission until approval.
Do you work with developers outside Israel?
Yes. The service is fully remote - everything happens through your Play Console opt-in link and email. We work with indie developers and no-code builders worldwide, and payment is in USD via PayPal or Lemon Squeezy.
Is this suitable for an indie developer?
Yes. The service was built for indie developers, small studios and pre-launch apps.
When can I start?
After picking a plan, paying and sending your details. If the app is ready, you can join the upcoming cycle.
What happens if a tester drops mid-cycle?
Google's requirement is 12 testers continuously, so dropping below 12 can reset the 14-day count. We monitor the group daily and top up a tester when needed, so the streak never breaks.
What if there's a problem with my app?
If we see a clear risk, we tell you early and point out what's worth fixing before anyone's time is wasted.
What does the Premium report include?
A 20+ page QA report: device coverage table by Android version, findings ranked by severity with reproduction steps and screenshots, references to Google's policy sections, three complete test sheets, and production questionnaire answers written from your cycle's real findings.
