- Paid in rupees by UPI, card, net banking or wallet, with no currency conversion on your statement

An honest recommendation
Choose AndroidClosedTesting if you specifically want twelve dedicated testers for 14 days and whatsApp support around the clock, plus a phone number, and paying in dollars is no friction for you. Those are real features and they cost real money to run.
Choose Appline if what you need is the requirement met: 14 real testers on your closed track, held for the full period, for ₹349, with your money back if Google says no. Most first-time publishers need exactly that and nothing more.
Either way, run with more than 12 testers. The margin is what saves you. Why the clock silently resets.

Appline: 100% money back if Google rejects your app, or a free re-run, requested within 30 days and issued within 3 business days.
