Appetize alternatives for running Android apps in the cloud
In short: Appetize streams cloud iOS simulators and Android emulators to a web page, with a free plan of 30 minutes a month. For rented Android phones that work like your own, BenchFleet cloud phones join your fleet at a per-minute price, for people, workflows and AI agents. Genymotion SaaS and Limrun are other cloud options.
Prices checked on 20 October 2026 on each vendor's page; they change. We make BenchFleet. Appetize puts cloud iOS and Android devices in a browser tab. That is one way to run an app in the cloud; here are the others, and where rented BenchFleet phones fit.
Free for up to 3 phones, with no account. Pro adds workflows, schedules and AI for up to 25 phones from £12 a month + VAT.
