Your part takes five minutes
Everything after you paste the opt-in link is scheduling, and scheduling is the part we do.
Sixteen days from checkout to publishable
Your part takes five minutes. The rest is scheduling, and we do the scheduling.
- 15 minutes
Pay and submit your app
Checkout through Stripe, then paste your Google Play closed-testing opt-in link. That is the whole of your side of the job.
- 2Within 6 hours
Your testers opt in
15 to 25 real testers on real Android phones accept the invite and install your build. You watch the count climb in your dashboard.
- 3Days 1-14
They use it daily for 14 days
Genuine daily activity for the full consecutive window Google requires - not a single burst of installs that trips review.
- 4By day 10
Reports and form answers land
Written feedback plus pre-filled answers for every question on the production access form, ready to paste.

You apply for production access
Submit the form. Google typically returns a decision within 24 to 48 hours.
- 6Day 15-16
You are live
Production access granted. Your app is publishable to everyone on Google Play.
Invited is not the same as opted in
Most closed tests that fail did not fail on effort. They failed because adding an email address to a list does not put a tester into the count Google reads.
Invited
- Twelve email addresses on a list
- No notification is sent to anyone
- Counts as zero until each person accepts
- Play Console shows your list length, not your streak
- Silently fails on day fourteen
Opted in
- Twelve people who opened the link and joined
- Visible in the opted-in tester count
- Starts the fourteen consecutive days
- Daily activity across the whole window
- What Google actually measures
You can watch the count, but you do not have to
Opted-in testers, the consecutive-day streak and your reports, in one place. Nothing here needs action from you.
