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.

Google Play Closed Testing 要多久?

一句话答案:至少 14 天

Google Play Closed Testing 至少需要连续 14 天。这是时间线里你缩不了的部分——12 位独立测试员每位都要连续 14 天每天活跃。

完整时间线(分阶段)

阶段	典型时间	能加速吗?
招募 12 位测试员	几小时(市场)到几周(手动)	能——用测试员市场
14 天窗口	正好连续 14 天	不能——Google 固定
申请生产访问	几分钟填写	—
Google 生产审核	几天(有波动)	不能
端到端	约 15-20 天	只有招募阶段能压

为什么 14 天压不了

Google 度量的是持续每日投入,不是总活跃量。24 位测试员各 7 天替代不了 12 位跨 14 天。这个窗口就是为了覆盖两个完整周度使用周期,正是它反作弊模型要查的。

真正拖慢进度的

几乎从来不是那 14 天,而是它周围的一切:

招募慢: 手动找 12 位靠谱测试员可能要几周。
掉队重置: 测试员中途安静,14 天计时可能重启,时间线翻倍。

TestHive 怎么把你压在 14 天下限

TestHive 几小时内填满全部 12 个测试员名额,追踪每日活跃,掉队 24 小时内自动替换,让你的 14 天窗口永不重置。这把你的现实时间线压到 Google 允许的 14 天下限附近。
