12Tester
For new Google Play developer accounts

Get your 12 testers. Pass closed testing.

Google Play asks new personal accounts for 12 testers over 14 days before an app can go public. On 12Tester developers trade testing time: test other apps, earn credits, and spend them on testers for yours. No payment, no begging friends and family.

Testing groups

Developers test each other's apps: everyone in a group tests every other app for 14 days. A group starts at 13 apps, so each gets the 12 testers Google requires, and stays open until 15.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add your app

    Register the app that is in closed testing. The 150 free credits you get on sign-up cover your first testing group.

  2. 2

    Test each other's apps

    Join a testing group with your app. Everyone tests every other app in the group for 14 days, and the 12Tester Android app checks in for you. Each app you test to the end pays 10 credits back.

  3. 3

    Get approved

    Once 12 testers have been opted in for 14 days, apply for production access in Play Console.

Built so tests actually finish

Buffer testers
Groups start at 13 apps, so each gets 12 testers, and fill up to 15, so one dropout does not reset your clock.
Test for test
Every tester is a developer with an app in the same group, so everyone has a reason to finish.
Fair credits
Do your part and your credits come back for your next app. Nobody is fined when an app does not work for them.
