Apps like Omegle: the best random video chat apps

Since Omegle closed, a wave of mobile apps has tried to fill the gap. Here’s an honest look at the popular ones — and the no-download pick that’s actually full of real women.

What people want from an Omegle app

The appeal of Omegle was never complicated: tap, get matched with a random stranger on camera, talk or skip. The apps that replaced it mostly nail the mechanics — instant matching, mobile-first, face filters. Where they fall down is the part that actually matters: who is on the other end. Across nearly all of them, real women are rare, and the useful features (gender filters, more matches) sit behind a paywall.

Below is a quick, honest verdict on the popular apps like Omegle, then the alternative we’d point you to instead.

The popular apps, briefly

Azar. A huge mobile random video chat app, especially in Asia, with swipe-to-match and live translation. Slick, but heavily male in most regions and pushes paid gems hard to do anything useful.

Holla. Fast, app-first random video chat with face filters. The matching is quick, but real women are scarce and the free tier throttles you toward a subscription almost immediately.

Chathub. A browser-based Omegle clone with gender and country filters. The filters sound great, but they rarely deliver — flip to "women only" and you mostly get an empty queue or bots.

Camgo. Random video chat with an AI-moderation pitch and interest matching. Cleaner than the worst of them, but quiet, and the women filter is paywalled.

There are smaller ones too — the gender-filter clones and regional apps come and go — but they all run into the same wall: not enough real women, and a paywall in front of the one feature you came for.

The alternative: Girls Chat Now

Girls Chat Now keeps everything good about an Omegle app — instant one-tap matching, mobile-first, nothing complicated — and fixes the part the others can’t. It runs right in your browser (so there’s no download and no app store), and the people online are verified women who are genuinely there.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the best app like Omegle?+
It depends what you want. For raw random video chat there are plenty of Omegle-style apps (Azar, Holla, Chathub, Camgo and more), but they share the same problem: they run heavily male and bury the features that matter behind a paywall. For actually meeting women, Girls Chat Now is the pick — it works like an app in your browser with no download, and the people online are verified women.
