# PrimeTestLab

> PrimeTestLab is a Google Play closed testing service that provides pre-qualified, real Android testers to help app developers meet Google's mandatory 12-tester, 14-consecutive-day closed testing requirement. Plans start at $19.99 for 12 testers, testing begins within 4-6 hours, and the service has a 99.9% success rate across 7,400+ apps tested.

## About

PrimeTestLab helps Android app developers pass Google Play's closed testing requirement — a mandatory step for new developer accounts before gaining production access. Google requires at least 12 opted-in testers for at least 14 consecutive days. PrimeTestLab provides real testers on real Android devices across 120+ countries, eliminating the need to recruit, manage, and retain testers independently.

PrimeTestLab has operated since 2021. It started as an Android app QA testing service and added managed Google Play closed testing when Google introduced the 12-tester rule in November 2023, which is now its flagship service. The company is operated by AEBU Technology, LLC, a US LLC registered in 2026, based in Dover, Delaware.
