Most playtests will be conducted using a secure build downloaded via our platform. Competitor Playtests use the PlaytestCloud app.

PlaytestCloud uses two separate recording systems to record player videos. Usually, PlaytestCloud will record the players using our standard playtesting recording method which works by sending them a secure build that includes our playtesting and security software.

However, when you test a game that is live on the Google Play Store with PlaytestCloud’s Competitor Testing, this test will be conducted using the PlaytestCloud App – which comes with its own specialties and limitations.

For a brief overview of what’s available on each system see the chart below:
