check_circleYes$1.99 – $3.99 per tester, pay only for completed sessions. No subscription, no sales call.
No public pricing. Testing is sold through Applause with custom enterprise quotes and contracts. uTest itself is the tester-side community, free to join as a tester.
uTest has no self-serve option for developers, you go through Applause enterprise sales. TestFi lets you launch a paid campaign in minutes with transparent per-tester pricing.
No. uTest is the tester community side of Applause. If you are a developer who wants testing done, you contact Applause sales and negotiate an enterprise contract. There is no self-serve checkout and no public pricing. TestFi is the opposite model: you sign up, create a campaign, pick testers, and pay $1.99 to $3.99 per completed session.
TestFi is built specifically for indie developers and small teams. You get real human testers on real devices, screen recordings with voice narration, and AI-scored UX reports, without enterprise contracts. Campaigns start at $1.99 per tester and most launch within minutes.
uTest does not publish pricing because testing is sold through Applause as custom enterprise engagements, typically aimed at large companies. TestFi publishes flat per-tester pricing: $1.99 for written feedback and $3.99 for a full screen-recording session. A 12-tester campaign costs $23.88 to $47.88 total.
Not really. The Google Play 12-tester requirement is an indie-developer problem, and uTest/Applause is structured around enterprise QA programs, not small opt-in campaigns. TestFi has a dedicated closed-testing flow: 12+ real testers opt in with their Google accounts, stay opted in for the 14-day window, and send you feedback while they test.
Applause runs professionally managed QA programs with vetted testers, which works well at enterprise scale. TestFi scores every session with a 6-layer AI engine before payout, so low-effort feedback is rejected automatically. For an indie budget, TestFi delivers screen recordings and scored UX reports at a price uTest does not offer at all.
Launch your first crowdtesting campaign in minutes, no SDK, no subscription.
