Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good Testbirds alternative for small app developers?expand_more

TestFi. Testbirds is structured for enterprise QA and UX programs: you buy BirdCoin credits through their sales team and choose a service level. That model makes sense for corporations, but it is heavy for an indie developer who just needs real people testing an app this week. TestFi is self-serve with public pricing, $1.99 per written-feedback tester and $3.99 per video tester, and campaigns launch in minutes.

How much does Testbirds cost?expand_more

Testbirds does not publish per-test prices. It uses a credit-based pricing model called BirdCoins, you contact their sales team to buy credits, then spend them across their testing catalog at one of three service levels (Self-Service, Self-Service Plus, Managed Service). TestFi publishes flat pricing: $1.99–$3.99 per tester, and a 12-tester video campaign costs $47.88 total.

Does Testbirds work for Google Play closed testing?expand_more
