Android phone rental, by the minute
Rent an Android phone online.
Pick an Android version, press Create, and a real phone model is running on our servers in about a minute. Use it in your browser, over the API or through ADB, pay $0.004 a minute only while it runs, and stop whenever you like.
01 · How it works
Rent a phone in three steps.
Create
Sign up, choose Android 12 to 17 and the country the phone should connect from. The phone boots in about a minute.
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.
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?

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.
