private beta
Exclusive early access
Private beta is the testing phase of software or a product before public release, limited to a select group of users.
Companies invite testers to find bugs, gather feedback, and refine features before wider launch: We're in private beta right now but hope to open signups next month.
Contrast with public beta, which anyone can join.
