You built your app. Now Google wants testers.
Since late 2023, new personal developer accounts on Google Play must run a closed test with at least 12 testers for 14 consecutive days before moving to production. Most developers discover this rule right when they're about to publish — stuck, with nobody to test their app.

Frequently asked questions
Why do I need 12 testers?
Google Play requires new personal developer accounts to run a closed test with at least 12 testers for 14 consecutive days before publishing to production. This is a Google requirement, not a PlayTesterHub one.
How does closed testing work?
You create a closed test in your Google Play Console, then share an opt-in link with your testers. They install the testing version of your app and use it like a normal app.
How long do testers need to participate?
Google requires at least 12 active testers for 14 consecutive days. Testers must stay opted in and use the app during that period.
Can I choose the country of my testers?
Yes — that's the whole point of PlayTesterHub. You can target France only, another specific country, or several countries at once.
How much does it cost?
The average campaign costs around €20. The price varies with the country and tester availability, and it is always announced before any payment.
How does the referral program work?
Invite a developer to PlayTesterHub with your referral code: they get €5 off every campaign, for all of their apps, and you earn €5 on each of their future campaigns. No time limit.
Are the testers real people?
Yes. Every tester signs up with their Google account and builds a participation history. No bots, no artificially inflated numbers.
Can I become a tester myself?
Of course. Signing up as a tester is free: pick the apps you're interested in and help their developers launch.
What happens after my campaign?
Once the goal is reached (12 testers for the required duration), you continue your journey in the Play Console toward production. We stay available for your next campaigns.
Does PlayTesterHub guarantee Google Play approval?
No — and nobody can. We help you find testers and organize your campaign. Google alone controls its requirements, its process, and its approval decisions.
Your app deserves to be published.
Don't stay stuck at the tester step. Start your campaign and let us help you find the 12 people Google is asking for.
