Frequently asked questions

Personal Google Play developer accounts created after November 13, 2023. Before publishing to production, their app needs at least 12 testers opted in to a closed test without a break for the last 14 days. Organization accounts are not subject to it.

Google lowered the threshold from 20 to 12 testers in December 2024. The length is still 14 days in a row.

Google counts testers who stayed opted in without a break. That is why every offer recruits more than 12 testers, and why we replace a tester who drops out in the first days.

No: only Google decides. We provide real testers, proof that they use the app and answers for the form. With Pro and Launch, if Google refuses for lack of testing, we run a new 14-day test, then refund you if it refuses again.

Before you pay, you see an estimate computed from the testers available. We aim to start within 6 hours once your track is ready and the test is paid. Day 1 begins when enough testers have a verified install.

A closed testing track, with Peerbeta’s testers’ Google group, every country, and a published release. The assistant walks you through each step and checks your opt-in link before the start.

The Peerbeta app opens your app on the tester’s phone and records each opening, with a Play Integrity check of the device. Your dashboard shows verified installs and who was active today.

Day-by-day participation, devices, Android versions and countries, bugs by severity, feedback per feature, and suggested answers to the three parts of the production access form. On the web, as PDF and as Markdown.

No. During a closed test, your app is not public. Testers send their feedback to you inside Peerbeta, and they may not publish anything about your app.

In-app purchases, yes: tell testers how to avoid paying. A paid app, not for now, since every tester would have to buy it.

No. Each test is paid once: Express $19, Pro $39 and Launch $79 per test. Nothing renews.

5 more testers ($9), testers from one country ($15), 7 more days ($12). You pick them when you pay.

Yes, one code per order, entered before you pay. The discount shows in the summary, and the price you pay is the one shown.

With Pro and Launch: if Google refuses production access for lack of testing, send the refusal screenshot within 7 days of your eligibility date. We rerun 14 days with priority; if Google refuses again, we refund the order.

There is no VAT to add: VAT not applicable, article 293 B of the French tax code (CGI). The price shown is the price you pay.

Yes. They are people aged 18 or over, often developers, who test from their own Android phone with the Peerbeta app. An emulated or modified device is refused by the Play Integrity check, and an account that cheats is banned.

Credits, for each validated day and each accepted feedback. They get your own apps tested. They have no cash value and expire after 12 months.

One to three minutes per app and per day for the mission, plus three written feedback rounds over the 14 days. In a free circle, count 20 to 30 minutes a day.
