Google Play closed testing · Comparison
TesterBee and TestFi both put real people on your closed test who are rewarded for testing, rather than other developers in a swap. TesterBee is cheaper, $14.99 for 12 testers against TestFi's $39.99 for 16, and it offers a refund if Google cites tester engagement. TestFi puts four spare testers on the track, has every tester write notes on day 7 and day 14, and can add screen recordings.

Matched in under 24 hours$39.99 flat for 16 testers on your closed track, or $64.99 with five screen recordings. One-time, no subscription, no service fee.

TesterBee is the cheaper of the two, and its guarantee is a refund where TestFi's is a re-run. TestFi costs more for four spare testers instead of two or three, notes from every tester twice during the test instead of one report at the end, and the option of screen recordings.
As of October 2026, $14.99 for 12 testers, $18.74 for 15, $24.98 for 20 and $31.23 for 25, one-time per app, with no service fee. TestFi is $39.99 flat for 16 testers, or $64.99 with five screen recordings.
Yes. For the Google Play 12-tester requirement alone, TesterBee's $14.99 plan costs less than TestFi's $39.99. TestFi's extra cost goes to four spare seats, notes from every tester on day 7 and day 14, and the option to add screen recordings.
Its refund policy offers a full refund or a free replacement campaign when Google's rejection notice cites tester engagement, and a free retest for other rejections once the issues are fixed. TestFi does not refund. It runs the test again at no cost if fewer than 12 testers are still opted in on day 14, or if Google refuses over engagement and fewer than 12 testers wrote notes that show real use.
TesterBee ends each campaign with one written report: a device and engagement summary, bugs, usability feedback and draft questionnaire answers. On TestFi every tester writes notes on day 7 and day 14 about how they used the app, and the production access answers are drafted from those notes. Screen recordings with an AI-scored report come with the $64.99 plan.
If price is what decides it, TesterBee. If you want notes from every tester while the test is running, a larger buffer of spare testers, or recordings of people using the app before launch, TestFi. Both use real testers rather than a developer swap.
