An honest recommendation
Choose TestFi if you specifically want 16 testers, guaranteeing 12 remain and optional per-tester written reports, 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.
