Other services give you 12 emails. We give you 12 real testers who actually use your app, stay opted in for 14 days, and tell you what's broken.
Every other service stops at “12 emails stayed opted in.” You also get real feedback that ships better apps.

TestFi runs exactly this: 12 real, verified testers who opt in, install your app, and stay active the full 14 days, plus written or video feedback from each one. Flat $39.99 per campaign, no subscription. If someone drops before day 14 we replace them automatically, so the clock never resets. You also get a compliance report to show Google.
Fund a TestFi campaign and 12 verified testers opt in within 4 to 12 hours. You add their Gmail addresses to your Google Play Console closed testing group, they install your app and stay active for the 14-day window, and we automatically replace anyone who drops so the clock never resets.
Swap groups (where developers trade test-for-test) are unreliable: people forget, drop out, or never installed your app in the first place. TestFi pays testers directly to stay opted in and active for the full 14 days, so you are not depending on a stranger's goodwill. No trading required, just fund the campaign.
Personal Google Play developer accounts created after November 13, 2023 must run a closed test with at least 12 testers opted in for at least 14 consecutive days before they can apply for production access. The 14-day clock resets if you drop below 12 active testers.
We give you 12 verified real testers who opt in to your closed test, install your app, keep it installed for 14 consecutive days, and submit real UX feedback. You add their Gmail addresses to your closed testing group in Google Play Console, and we handle the rest: install confirmation, Day 7 check-in, Day 14 confirmation, and a downloadable compliance report you can show Google.
Other services charge $15-$25 and only verify that 12 emails stayed opted in for 14 days. They give you nothing else. TestFi charges $39.99 and gives you the same compliance PLUS real screen-recorded UX feedback from each tester. You get both: pass Google AND learn what to fix.
You can, but most indie developers struggle to find 12 friends willing to keep your app installed for 14 days straight. If even one drops, the 14-day clock resets. TestFi pays testers per-day to stay opted in, so they actually finish the cycle.
No. Google Play tracks real device installs. TestFi only uses real testers on real devices in 12+ countries.
TestFi monitors the cycle daily. If a tester drops or fails their Day 7 check-in, we automatically replace them from our pool, no need to lift a finger. The replacement starts a new 14-day count from their join date.
Most campaigns fill within 4-12 hours once funded. As soon as a tester opts in, you get their Gmail address to add to your Google Play Console closed testing group.
Yes. After Day 14, you can download a compliance report listing each tester's display name, Gmail, opt-in date, and Day 7 + Day 14 check-in timestamps. Use it as internal documentation if Google asks.
