Free video chat apps: what is free, and what you pay for
Every app on this page is free to install, so “free” on its own tells you little. What matters is which part costs money once you are inside. We read each app’s store page and official site and set out what is free, what is sold as an extra, and where the app says so. We do not list prices – they appear in the store at checkout.
Two labels to look for on the store page
- “Free” is the download price. Every App Store listing on this page shows it.
- “In-App Purchases” means the app sells something inside it. The App Store pages of Kiss Live Chat, Livego and YOYO show this label, and Google Play shows in-app purchases for Azar and LivU.
- Neither label says what is paid. For that you need the app’s own description – which is what the table below quotes.
Free vs paid, app by app
| App | Download | What the app says is paid |
|---|---|---|
| Azar | Free (App Store) · Google Play lists in-app purchases | “Optional premiums unlock advanced discovery preferences, including additional gender and country filters” |
| LivU | Google Play, with in-app purchases (no App Store listing) | “optional in-app purchases for premium features that give you more control over who you can meet” |
| CR Video Chat (Chatroulette) | Free (App Store) | “a variety of in-app purchases designed to enhance your experience and provide greater interaction control” |
| Paltalk | Free (App Store) | “Upgrade to join more rooms simultaneously.” |
| Wakie | Free (App Store) | Says it gives free access to voice chats with optional premium features; some features are for Wakie Plus users |
| Camfrog | Free (App Store) | Its App Store description does not describe paid features |
| AnonChat | Web (store apps not confirmed) | “With AnonChat Premium, you can search by gender, call your friends, and match with new people faster than others.” |
| Kiss Live Chat (Featured) | Free · In-App Purchases (App Store) · also on the web | “All users enjoy free basic features. Upgrade for exclusive perks” |
| Livego · YOYO (Featured) | Free · In-App Purchases (App Store) | The App Store page shows in-app purchases; the descriptions we captured do not list what they cover |
Quotes are the apps’ own words from their App Store, Google Play or official pages. Prices are not shown on our site.
What tends to be paid
- Choosing who you meet. Azar ties additional gender and country filters to its premiums, LivU sells “more control over who you can meet”, and AnonChat Premium adds search by gender.
- More of the same. Paltalk’s upgrade lets you join more rooms at once; AnonChat Premium says it matches you with new people faster.
- Perks around the chat. Kiss Live Chat keeps basic features free and lists extra perks for an upgrade on its App Store page.
Free apps by how you like to talk
These three show “Free” on the App Store and say plainly what their paid tier adds – useful if you want to know in advance where the free part ends.
Paltalk
Topic rooms by video, voice or text. Free on the App Store; Paltalk says an upgrade lets you join more rooms at the same time.
Free download

Before you pay for anything
- Read the in-app purchase list on the store page – it shows what is sold before you open the app.
- Check whether a subscription renews automatically, and how to cancel it in your App Store or Google Play account.
- Never pay a person you met in a chat, and ignore requests for gifts or top-ups from strangers.
- These apps are for adults 18+ only.

Are there completely free video chat apps?
The apps here are free to download, but most sell something inside. Camfrog is the one where the descriptions we captured say nothing about paid features – check its store page for an In-App Purchases label before you rely on it.
What do you pay for in Azar?
Azar says its optional premiums unlock advanced discovery preferences, including additional gender and country filters. The app is free to download.
Is LivU free?
LivU is free to install from Google Play and sells optional in-app purchases for premium features that give more control over who you meet. It has no App Store listing.
Why don’t you show prices?
Prices differ by country and change often. The store shows the current price at checkout; we only report what each app says is paid.
