Beta App Distribution
for iOS & Android
Upload an IPA or APK and your testers and clients install it from one link — iPhone and Android, no App Review, and no account on their side. Your first upload doesn't even need a signup.
BetaDrop is a freemium service to distribute iOS and Android beta apps: upload an .ipa or an .apk and share an over-the-air install link or QR code. The free plan takes builds up to 500 MB, links default to 3 days and can run to 7 days (guest links 24 hours), and testers never need an account.
When the build is for someone else
QA, stakeholders and clients each get their own link, your logo on the install page, and a count of the devices that downloaded it.
Know the build was downloaded. Not just that a link exists.
Smart Build Intelligence
Auto-Detect Everything
App name, version, build number, bundle ID extracted instantly.
Build History & Versions
Every version is tracked; the newest is marked latest automatically, and you can mark old ones deprecated. See your entire release timeline.
Quick Rollback
Pushed a bad build? Disable it and re-enable the previous version in one click.
Advanced Distribution Controls
Smart Expiry Rules
Builds default to 3 days and can run to 7 days, or set custom rules: time-based, download-limit, or device-limit.
Role-Based Sharing
Generate separate links for QA, stakeholders, and beta testers. See downloads and unique devices per link.
Feedback On Every Install
Every install page carries a rating and a comment box. Testers send bug reports without an account, an app, or a login.
Tester Device Registry
Send testers a link and their device IDs land in your dashboard, ready to paste into a provisioning profile. Export the list as CSV.
Analytics & Insights
Install Analytics
Download counts, unique devices, and country-level distribution for every build. Counted server-side — nothing to add to your app.
Device Type Breakdown
See the iOS vs Android split and the mobile / tablet / desktop mix behind every download.
Claim Guest Uploads
Uploaded as guest before? Sign in and claim those builds — the download count comes with them, and analytics start tracking from there.
Customization & Polish
Custom Install Pages
Upload your logo, choose accent colors, and add custom messaging. Make install pages feel like yours.
Private by Default
All builds are unlisted. Only people with the link can access. Enable/disable builds anytime.
Why Developers Choose BetaDrop
No credit card. No setup wizard. Just sign in with Google and start shipping.
Or never open this page again
Uploading by hand is a build, a browser tab and a drag-and-drop, every time. Wire BetaDrop into the pipeline once and the install link is just there when the build finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about beta app distribution
Free builds default to 3 days and can be extended to 7 days, enough for a test cycle. Paid plans push that to a year and beyond, so a link you put in a doc or a ticket is still there when someone taps it.
