If Google refuses, you don’t pay.
If a completed run does not get you through, you choose: another run at no charge, or a full refund. Both are written into our terms.
Money back if Google refuses
If production access is refused after a completed run, take a free re-run or a full refund. Claim within 30 days; refunds are issued within 3 business days.
Extra testers, two spare days
Every plan adds more than the 12 testers Google requires, and holds them for 16 days rather than 14, giving the run a buffer against drop-offs.
A person to talk to
Check-ins on day 7 and day 14, help with the production access questionnaire, and someone on WhatsApp for anything else. Mon–Sat, 10:00–19:00 IST.
Recruiting testers yourself, compared
Getting twelve names onto a tester list is easy. Keeping twelve people opted in for fourteen unbroken days is the part that fails.

From payment to production access
No chasing testers. No silent drop-offs. One path through the requirement.
Choose your tester plan
Choose 14, 16 or 25 testers and message us on WhatsApp. We confirm the plan and send a secure Razorpay payment link in the same chat; there is no account to create.
Send your opt-in link
After payment, use the support handoff with your order reference already filled in. Send your app name and the closed testing opt-in URL from Play Console.
Your testers opt in
Real people on real Android devices join your closed track and install the app. Every plan adds more than Google's 12-tester minimum to protect the run against drop-offs.
The clock runs
Testers keep the app installed and open it through the period. We check in at day 7 and day 14. You do nothing except leave the track live.
Apply for production
Play Console unlocks the production access application. You submit it, Google reviews it, and Applime support remains available while you wait.
What developers say
Experiences shared after completing a managed Google Play closed test.
“Testers were in the track by the same afternoon. The count stayed above the requirement for the full fortnight, and I could apply for production access on schedule.”
Ananya RaoStride · Bengaluru, IN
“I sent the link in the evening and testers started joining the next morning. The day-seven check-in arrived without me needing to chase anyone.”
Chinedu OkaforWayfare · Lagos, NG
“The spare testers made the difference. One person left halfway through, but the required count did not fall and the test stayed on schedule.”
Lucas PereiraWayfare · Porto Alegre, BR
“This was my second attempt after a refusal. The guidance helped me make my questionnaire answers specific, and Google approved the next application.”
Rohan BhatiaLedger · Kochi, IN
“Two testers left during my earlier self-run test and the count dropped. The extra tester buffer here kept the new run on schedule.”
María Fernanda RuizLumen · Bogotá, CO
“No new dashboard to learn and no Play Console password to share. I sent the opt-in link and followed progress from my own account.”
Elina KorhonenLumen · Helsinki, FI
“I had recruited friends and then lost several before the first week ended. With Applime, the tester count simply stayed where it needed to be.”
Mei Lin TanTempo · Singapore
“I could follow the count in my own console throughout the run. On day fourteen, I received clear instructions for the production-access application.”
Samuel MensahNimbus · Accra, GH
“I liked that I could see the testers in my own Play Console. There was no separate dashboard and I never had to share my account password.”
Nur Aisyah PutriForkful · Bandung, ID
“My first application was too vague. The second one explained the testing and feedback properly, and the production-access request went through.”
Nivedita KulkarniNotely · Pune, IN
Choose how much tester cover you want.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about testing, timelines and the guarantee.
If you created a personal Google Play developer account on or after 13 November 2023, you cannot publish to production until you have run a closed test with at least 12 testers opted in continuously for 14 days. Google introduced the rule with 20 testers in November 2023 and reduced it to 12 in December 2024. The 14-day window never changed.
Yes. Every tester is a real person opting in with their own Google account and installing your app on a real Android device: Samsung, Xiaomi, Pixel, Realme, OnePlus, Vivo, Oppo and Motorola among them. Emulators and fake accounts do not satisfy Google and we do not use them.
Google's public requirement focuses on completing a closed test with enough opted-in testers and demonstrating meaningful testing. Google does not endorse Applime or certify third-party testing providers. A paid service is not a substitute for real use and honest feedback, so describe how you recruited testers truthfully in your production-access application.
There is no customer dashboard, account system, sales team or ASO upsell to fund. You choose 14, 16 or 25 testers and pay only for the managed testing run. Keeping the service focused is why the entry plan starts at ₹349.
Choose 14 testers for ₹349, 16 testers for ₹449 or 25 testers for ₹949. Google needs at least 12 testers opted in continuously for 14 days on affected accounts, so every plan provides a buffer above that minimum.
Testers usually begin opting in within 6 hours of us receiving your closed testing link, and the group is complete within 24 hours. Your 14 days are counted from the moment the 12th tester opts in, not from when you created the track.
Three things: your app name, the closed testing opt-in link from Play Console, and a WhatsApp number to reach you on. That is the entire onboarding. We do not need your Play Console password and will never ask for it.
Yes, 100%. If Google rejects your production access application after our 14-day closed test, we refund the full price of your selected plan. If you would rather try again, we re-run the entire test free instead. Ask within 30 days of the refusal and the refund reaches your original payment method within 3 business days of approval.
