How it works
Two paths to a completed closed test
Swap tests with the community for free, or let the Paid plan provide genuine testers for you. Either way, you follow a clear process and always know where your test stands.
Community / Tester Swap
Developers help developers. You test someone's app during their closed test; they test yours. Free, reciprocal and community-driven.
Best for: Indie developers, students and side projects with more time than budget.
- 01
Step 1: Create your testing request
Add your app and its Google Play opt-in link in the TesterMandi app.
- 02
Step 2: Find developers who need testers
Browse requests from developers in the same situation as you.
- 03
Step 3: Agree a swap
You install and test their app; they install and test yours.
- 04
Step 4: Stay opted in for 14 days
Both sides keep the app installed and use it for the full window.
- 05
Step 5: Exchange feedback
Share what broke, what confused you and which device you used.
Managed Testing
TesterMandi provides 12 genuine testers for 14 days, with daily proof, feedback collection and a testing report — so you can keep building.
Best for: Developers and studios who value their time and want it handled.

Bugs, device details and usability notes are gathered for you.

Step 5: Testing report & top listing
You receive a testing report, and your app gets top listing visibility.

A completed closed test, feedback you can act on, and organized evidence for when you apply for production access in the Play Console.
