What Global App Testing is built for
Global App Testing is built for teams launching in many markets at once: localisation checks, exploratory sweeps and test-case runs by testers in the exact countries you are shipping to, coordinated by a GAT team and delivered through its platform and integrations. If you need people in Brazil, Germany and Japan on the same release, that is the model.
What 99tests is built for
99tests is built for depth in one market. Your users are on ₹9,000 Androids with MIUI killing background apps, on Jio and Airtel networks — and the testers who own those exact phones run your cases in timed sessions. Pay online, upload, get a verified report in 3 business days. No quote, no account team.
Where they differ.
Buying: GAT is quoted and managed; 99tests is priced on the page and bought with a card.
Geography: GAT's strength is breadth across countries; 99tests' strength is depth across Indian devices, skins and carriers.
Test input: GAT can design cases for you; 99tests executes the cases you bring, in any format.
Scope: GAT covers exploratory, test-case, localisation and launch testing; 99tests covers manual functional and exploratory only.
Report: GAT results live in its platform and integrations; 99tests delivers a page and PDF with a coverage table and recordings.
When to pick Global App Testing
- You are launching in several countries and need testers in each.
- You want localisation and cultural checks alongside functional testing.
- You want a managed team to scope and run cycles for you.
- Procurement prefers a quoted engagement with a named contact.
When to pick 99tests
- Your release is for India and it ships this week.
- You already have test cases and need them executed on real budget Androids and iPhones.
- You want a fixed price and a GST invoice, not a quote.
- You want to try crowdtesting on one build before committing to a service.
Switching or running both
A common pattern is GAT for the multi-country launch and a 99tests job for the India-specific regression pass on budget Android before each release — the segment where a global crowd is thinnest.
Before you choose.
Does 99tests test outside India?
No. 99tests testers are in India, on Indian devices and carriers, and the service says so up front. For other markets, a global provider like Global App Testing is the right tool.
Is 99tests managed like Global App Testing?
No. 99tests is self-serve: you choose a package and device targets and upload your cases. Findings are verified by 99tests before delivery, but there is no dedicated account team.
How do prices compare?
They are priced differently. Global App Testing quotes per engagement; 99tests charges a fixed ₹9,999 / $129 for a Starter job. For a single Indian-device build, 99tests is usually the smaller number; for a multi-country launch, compare the total.
