Site terms (until the chat window opens)

A guide to calling by video over the internet in two senses: ringing someone already known, and talking to a stranger chosen at random. It compares browser and app use, keeps a dated fact table of video chat platforms and offers a safety checklist. Several pages also carry a button into the video chat.

A separate technical provider does; data storage and billing follow its own policies, according to the chat's terms. Conversations, purchases, bans and lost logins inside the chat are settled under those rules. The guide pages have no power to change any of them.

Yes, 18. The chat's user agreement says it accepts only people over 18 who are also adults under the law of their own country. A door page before the chat sets out three rules and has the reader confirm their age each time. The 18+ statement explains that step and what to do about a caller who appears to be a minor.

Any claim that the chat's own documents contradict. The site does not describe it as: - free, because its FAQ allows unpaid chatting only as a limited trial; - unlimited, since longer use needs Premium or bought minutes, according to its user agreement; - anonymous, because its rules want the face in close view; - open to any stranger, since the men's widget only connects men with women.

Premium and minutes are bought inside the chat window and follow its payment rules. No purchase is possible on the guide pages, and they never see payment details. Prices are compared in the overview of charges, while the page on how calls work sets out the chat's own rules.

The table reports what each service states or shows about cost, sign-up, gender and country choice, apps and moderation, each with its check date. It does not measure call quality, how complaints are handled or who happens to be online, and a row can go out of date the day after its check. Payment decisions should rest on the price a service displays at that moment.

To the chat's moderators. Its child-safety standards say a Report function inside the app lets users flag suspicious content or behaviour. The guide pages have no moderators and no inbox, so they cannot review a complaint or act on an account.

The wording is amended whenever the service offered here or the route to the chat changes, and the Last revised line above the text then shows the new day. The chat's own documents are amended on a separate schedule. Summaries of them on the site name the day they were last compared.

Only the ticks on the safety checklist, kept in the reader's own browser. The site sets no cookies of its own and runs no analytics. The privacy notice also lists what the video chat says it collects.
