If it's a niche enough app, the payment is likely more of a tip jar instead of a full-blown business venture.
I pay for a few very niche calculator apps that I wouldn't even be able to find 20 people interested without putting in some effort and asking for friends to ask their friends.
- onion2k 2y agoIt's hard to justify why Google should support Play store apps that appeal to less than 20 people. That sounds like something where side-loading is a very useful alternative to an app store.

- Arnt 2y agoAppeal to fewer than 20 people is one thing, making 20 people install a beta version is quite another. There's a saying, only one of 10k people affected by a bug will report it. Getting early testers is a bit like that, although not as bad as 1/10k.

- robofanatic 2y agoTotally agree. Even I have a niche app for a specific group. Its tremendously hard for me to find 20 testers. And to be honest the app is pretty simple and doesn’t even require that many testers.
