TestHive is a real-human app testing platform built for Google Play Closed Testing. Indie developers post a 14-day campaign and TestHive matches 12 verified testers within hours. Testers get paid in T-Coin (cash) or Karma (free economy). Every campaign ends with a signed test report you can attach to Play Console.

How do I find 12 testers for Google Play Closed Testing?

On TestHive you post one campaign with your APK package name and TestHive routes it to 12 real human testers who run your app for 14 consecutive days. No friend recruiting, no Reddit begging, no Telegram swaps. Testers are escrow-paid only after they complete the 14 days.

Yes — new TestHive accounts get 170 Karma at signup, which is exactly enough to fund one full 12-tester × 14-day campaign. You can also buy T-Coin starting at $10 = 1000 T-Coin for paid campaigns with higher-priority recruitment and PayPal payouts to testers.

Does TestHive guarantee passing Google Play Closed Testing?

TestHive guarantees real humans running your app daily and a signed test report. If a tester drops off during the 14 days, TestHive auto-tops-up a replacement so you keep the 12 active testers required by Play Console. The signed report is the artifact Google Play Console reviewers look for.

How is TestHive different from other beta testing services?

TestHive ships closed-testing as a workflow, not a directory. Every campaign is escrow-backed before recruitment starts, testers get daily check-ins to prove activity, and the platform produces a finished report at the end — not just a list of email addresses.

Can I earn money as a tester on TestHive?

Yes. Sign up as a tester, complete 14-day campaigns, and TestHive pays you in T-Coin (cash, withdrawable to PayPal) or Karma (used to publish your own campaigns). Earnings depend on campaign tier and your reputation level.

Can TestHive be used to create, distribute, and analyze user tests?

Yes. TestHive lets you create a user test (Campaign), distribute it to a matched pool of real human testers within hours, and analyze daily feedback, bug reports, screenshots, and engagement signals in a unified dashboard. Each campaign ends with a downloadable signed report.

Does TestHive have a global community of freelance testers?

Yes. TestHive runs a global community of freelance app and game testers across 12 languages (EN / ZH / ID / VI / AR / UR / BN / AM / HA / KM / SW / TL). Testers earn T-Coin (PayPal cash) or Karma per completed campaign — there is no monthly subscription, payouts are per task.

Is TestHive an alternative to PlaytestCloud / BetaTesting / TestFlight?

TestHive overlaps with PlaytestCloud (playtesting), BetaTesting (managed recruitment), and TestFlight (closed beta distribution), but is built specifically for the Google Play Closed Testing 12-tester × 14-day requirement. Pricing starts at free (Karma) — no monthly subscription required.

Does TestHive support mobile game playtesting?

Yes. TestHive supports both apps and games. Game devs post a Campaign the same way as app devs — 12 real human playtesters run the build for 14 days, submit daily screenshots and bug reports, and you receive a signed playtest report at the end.

Apakah saya harus menjadi tester level tinggi untuk memulai Studio?

Siapa pun bisa membuat Studio. Untuk mengerjakan Closed Testing Campaign (12 tester, 14 hari berturut-turut), Studio kamu butuh 12 anggota aktif. Di bawah itu, kamu bisa mengerjakan tugas latihan (≤ 3 anggota × 7 hari).

Bagaimana reward dibagi di dalam Studio?

Secara default, share tiap anggota sama besar. Owner dapat mengatur persentase share kustom per anggota, dan penghasilan masuk ke Studio Wallet yang kemudian didistribusikan oleh Owner.

Bisakah saya berada di beberapa Studio?

Tidak. Hanya satu Studio aktif pada satu waktu. Keluar dari Studio berlaku seketika; kamu bisa langsung bergabung ke Studio lain setelahnya.

Menjalankan Studio Pengujian

Apa itu Studio

Studio adalah tim tester permanen yang diorganisir di bawah satu Owner. Alih-alih setiap anggota menelusuri Campaign secara individual, Studio mengambilnya sebagai satu kesatuan. Reward masuk ke Studio Wallet yang didistribusikan oleh Owner berdasarkan persentase share yang dapat dikonfigurasi.

Studio ditambahkan karena beberapa kelompok pengujian sudah beroperasi sebagai tim (klub kampus, kolektif developer indie, skuad QA profesional) dan menginginkan satu akun untuk berkoordinasi.

Tier Free / Expanded / Pro

Tier	Kapasitas	Biaya	Kasus penggunaan
Free	12 anggota	$0	Default untuk Studio baru
Expanded 25	25 anggota	5.999 T-Coin sekali bayar (~$60)	Studio yang berkembang dan butuh ruang lebih
Pro Unlimited	tak terbatas	Hubungi kami (kustom)	Agensi QA profesional, studio besar

Upgrade tier adalah pembayaran sekali, bukan langganan.

Siapa yang bisa menjadi anggota

Anggota harus:

Pengguna TestHive aktif dengan akun terverifikasi
Lolos pemeriksaan anti-multi-akun saat diundang (tanpa sock-puppet yang berbagi fingerprint perangkatmu)
Tidak sedang berada di Studio aktif lain (aturan satu Studio pada satu waktu)

Level Tester individual anggota tetap dihitung ke jumlah Completed Apps pribadinya saat mereka berpartisipasi dalam Campaign Studio.

Bagaimana reward mengalir di dalam Studio

Saat Studio kamu menyelesaikan sebuah Campaign:

T-Coin / Karma masuk ke Studio Wallet (dikendalikan Owner)
Owner meninjau kehadiran harian tiap anggota
Owner mengatur atau menerima share% default per anggota
Distribusikan → ke dompet anggota masing-masing

Owner tidak diizinkan mengambil lebih dari 10% secara otomatis — apa pun di atas itu memerlukan persetujuan bulat semua anggota yang tercatat dalam audit log.

Pelacakan kegagalan Studio

Jika sebuah Studio gagal menyelesaikan 3+ Closed Testing Campaign dalam rentang bergulir, Studio tersebut masuk ke masa cooldown 30 hari di mana ia tidak bisa mengambil Campaign baru. Ini mencegah Studio berkualitas rendah menyumbat marketplace.

Cooldown otomatis berakhir pada hari ke-30. Beberapa cooldown berturut-turut dapat memicu pembubaran Studio.
