Google Play Closed Testing: Get 12 or 20 Real Testers for 14 Days
Are you stuck in the “Closed Testing” phase on the Google Play Console?
We know that every developer’s situation is different. Maybe you need the full team of 20 testers to meet Google’s requirement from scratch. Or perhaps you already have a few friends helping out, and you just need 12 reliable testers to cross the finish line.
At BetZara, we offer flexible testing packages designed to fit your specific needs. whether you need a full team or a partial top-up, we provide real human testers on physical devices to help you unlock Production Access.
Choose the Right Package for You
We have simplified our service into two clear options to ensure you don’t pay for more than you need.
Option A: The Full 20-Tester Package
- Best For: Solo developers, new startups, or anyone starting from zero.
- Why You Need It: Google requires a minimum of 20 testers opted-in for 14 consecutive days. If you don’t have anyone to help, this package handles the entire requirement for you in one go.
- What You Get: 20+ Real Users, Daily Engagement, and full compliance management.
Option B: The 12-Tester Top-Up Package
- Best For: Developers who already have 8-10 friends or colleagues testing but need more people to reach the mandatory 20.
- Why You Need It: If you have 8 testers, you still can’t apply for production. You need 12 more to hit the target. This package fills that gap perfectly without the cost of a full team.
- What You Get: 12+ Real Users to supplement your existing team and ensure you stay above the threshold.
Why Apps Fail Closed Testing (And How We Fix It)
Regardless of whether you choose 12 or 20 testers, the rules for success remain the same. Google rejects apps that lack “High-Quality Engagement.”
Here is how BetZara ensures your app passes, no matter which package you choose:
1. 100% Real Devices (No Emulators)
Google can detect if your testers are using fake software (emulators). We strictly use physical Android phones (Samsung, Pixel, Xiaomi, etc.) to ensure your testing data is valid and safe.
2. Daily Activity & Usage
Having testers just “install” the app is not enough.
- For 20 Testers: We manage the entire group to ensure daily logins and active usage.
- For 12 Testers: Our team integrates seamlessly with your existing testers, ensuring our side of the group remains active every single day.
3. Zero Drop-Off Guarantee
The most frustrating part of closed testing is when a user uninstalls the app on Day 10, forcing you to restart the 14-day timer.
- We guarantee that all 12 or 20 testers (depending on your plan) will keep the app installed for the full duration.
How Our Process Works
- Select Your Plan: Choose between 12 Testers or 20 Testers based on your current gap.
- Submit Your Link: Provide your Google Play Closed Testing Web Link (and Google Group email if applicable).
- Instant Onboarding: Within 24 hours, our team joins your track and installs the app.
- 14 Days of Testing: We handle the daily engagement. You can watch the install count rise and stay stable in your Play Console.
- Apply for Production: Once the 14 days are complete, you have the data needed to apply for Production Access.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I already have 5 testers. Can I buy the 12-tester package? A: Yes! If you have 5 testers and buy our 12-tester package, you will have a total of 17. You would still need 3 more to reach Google’s requirement of 20. In this case, we recommend the 20-tester package to be safe, or finding 3 more friends.
Q: Do these testers count towards the “20 testers” requirement? A: Absolutely. Our testers are real people with valid Google accounts. They count exactly the same as any other organic user.
Q: What if I need custom feedback? A: Both our 12 and 20-tester packages can include feedback. Just let us know if you need specific bugs checked or UI feedback during the order process.
