Twelve testers. Fourteen days. Real people.

What Google actually counts

• Unique Google accounts, each opted in through your closed-test link.
• They stay opted in for 14 days in a row. One dropout can reset the clock.
• They install from Play and use the app. Empty opt-ins still get rejected.
• Each app needs its own closed test. The same 12 people can test every app you publish.
• Bots, temp emails, emulators, and duplicate accounts are detected.

How TestPact stays free

There is no currency. A pact is a circle: when you join, you pledge to test every other member's app, and they pledge to test yours. Practice circles on the board are for learning the flow. They never count as Play testers.

A clean 14-day run

1. Create a closed testing track and copy the opt-in URL.
2. List the app here. Add the Gmail you use on Play.
3. Create a pact of 14 (two spare seats). Share the code.
4. Everyone opts in the same day so clocks line up.
5. Install, use, check in, write feedback.
6. On day 14, apply for production access in Play Console.
