How Stomio compares
Written for hardware and IoT teams working out how to run a beta program.
Stomio vs Centercode: you have testers vs you need testers
Stomio is the platform for running your own beta program: structured tasks, NDA gating, tester segmentation, tickets and results, plus an MCP connection so your AI assistant can work inside it. The price is on the page and you can be live the same afternoon. Centercode is the long-established platform in this space, and it also sells the work around it: finding testers, getting NDAs signed and shipping your devices. If you already have your testers, that is the part you do not need to buy.

These are not the same purchase. Stomio is the platform you run your own program in, with testers you already have. BetaTesting is a service: they find testers, ship your devices and run the test for you. Plenty of hardware teams need both.
See the detailsStomio vs spreadsheets and email: every round vs one round
A spreadsheet, a shared inbox and a group chat will run a hardware beta with ten testers. It does not fail loudly. It fails because nobody can tell who is still active, evidence lands in three places, and you cannot run the same program again for the next version.
