01 · How it works

Rent a phone in three steps.

1

Create

Sign up, choose Android 12 to 17 and the country the phone should connect from. The phone boots in about a minute.

2

Use it

Open the live screen in your browser, install an APK, or drive the phone from code: REST API, Python SDK, MCP for AI agents, ADB over a relay.

3

Stop and pay for minutes

Billing runs only while the phone is on, at $0.004 a minute and never more than $0.80 a day. A stopped phone keeps its apps and data and costs nothing.

02 · What you get

What a rented phone comes with.

A real phone model

Each phone is built from a real device: Samsung Galaxy, Pixel, Motorola, OnePlus, Xiaomi and more, with the model's screen, chip and sensors.

A country of your choice

The phone connects from the United States, Germany, Brazil, Indonesia or one of 40 more countries, with the matching time zone and language.

A live screen in the browser

Tap, type and swipe from your laptop. Nothing to install. Share a phone with your team under one account.

API, SDK, MCP and ADB

Create and control phones from code, give one to an AI agent over MCP, or connect adb to it as if it were on your desk.

Reset in one click

Return the phone to a fresh state between tests, or hand it to the next task with everything in place.

EU servers

Phones run on servers in Frankfurt and Helsinki. A stopped phone is stored, not deleted.

Questions about renting an Android phone

How much does it cost to rent an Android phone?

$0.004 a minute while the phone runs, never more than $0.80 a phone a day, with no fee to create or keep a stopped phone. Plans from $12 a month include phone minutes and traffic. The first 30 minutes are free and need no card.

Is it a real phone or an emulator?

A cloud phone built from a real phone model: it runs Android natively on ARM servers and reports the model's name, chip, screen and sensors. It is not a desktop emulator, and you do not download anything.

How fast can I get one?

About a minute from Create to a booted phone. Signing up takes an email address.

Can I rent several phones at once?

Yes. Create as many as you need and control them one by one or all at once from the dashboard, the API or an agent.

Which countries can the phone connect from?

45 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Brazil, Indonesia, India, Japan and Australia. See the country pages.

Can I keep the phone for months?

Yes. Plans from $12 a month are built for that, and a stopped phone keeps its apps and data between sessions.
