Built on a foundation of real verification.
Since 2023, new personal Google Play developer accounts must run a closed test with at least 12 testers for 14 consecutive days before they can publish to production. It's Google's way of reducing low-quality and throwaway accounts.
Each tester runs our Android app, which performs a background check once a day to confirm your app is still installed, then reports to our server. The streak is computed server-side from real timestamps, so it can't be faked by changing a phone's clock.
Add our single tester group email to your closed test's tester list. That one action gives every TestSlot tester access to your app — you never manage individual tester emails.
Google's bar is 12 testers for 14 consecutive days. When you list your app you choose the number of slots and required days; we recommend matching Google's minimums or going slightly above for a safety margin.
Their streak is affected. We allow a small grace window for a missed daily check (phones with aggressive battery settings can delay background tasks), but a tester who removes the app sees their streak reset — and you'll see it on your dashboard.
Yes. App owners can sign up with an email and password or with Google. Testers sign in through the mobile app, currently with Google.
TestSlot provides real human testers on real devices and does not automate installs or fake engagement. You're responsible for following Play Console's terms; we're a tool to help you coordinate genuine testers.
No. The closed-testing requirement is a Google Play thing, and reliably detecting installed apps is only possible on Android — so the tester app is Android-only.
Pricing is per app you list for testing, with no subscriptions. A free Starter tier lets you list one app end to end; the Launch tier takes one app through the full 14-day test.
Paid tiers include replacement testers if one drops out, plus priority matching so your slots fill quickly. You always see live status for every tester on your dashboard.
As soon as enough testers complete 14 consecutive days, you've met Google's requirement. Testers opt in and install within minutes of your listing going live, so the 14-day clock starts right away.
