Try Free 1-on-1 Video Chat and Know When Coins Apply

Illustration of a matched 1-on-1 video chat on 1on1Chat: the Video tab carries a Free badge, the call screen shows the free-time countdown, and a chat message gives the per-minute rate before coins are used.

Use the free matches and free call time on your account, and browse women at no cost. Here is where free ends, what the app shows first, and how to stop before any coins are used.

  1. Free matches & free time
  2. Rate notice
  3. Coins per minute

01The free part

What Is Free on 1on1Chat?

Four things in private 1-on-1 video chat cost nothing. Two of them are limited, and the app shows you what is left.

  • Free matches

    Limited

    Your account can include a number of free random matches on the Video and Audio tabs. The number is set in the app and can change, so we don’t promise one.

  • Free call time

    Limited

    A free match opens with a short stretch of free time, counted down on the call screen. Talk, decide, or tap Next while it runs.

  • Calls marked Free

    Limited

    Some calls from a woman’s profile are offered free. The app puts a Free label on the call button, and only those calls start without coins.

  • Browsing women

    No allowance

    Opening the online list and looking through women’s profiles and photos is free, with nothing to use up.

Not part of free

  • Unlimited matching
  • Unlimited call minutes
  • Free calls to any profile you pick

02Where coins start

When Do Coins Apply?

Coins come in at five points. At each one, the app shows you a price, a prompt or a notice first.

  1. Your free matches run out

    What the app shows The Free badge leaves the Video or Audio tab. Starting another match may open a top-up prompt with coin packages.

    Your choice Top up, or close the prompt and keep browsing for free.

  2. Free call time ends

    What the app shows Five seconds before, a chat message gives the per-minute rate. Then the timer restarts at 00:01 and Next disappears.

    Your choice Hang up before the notice runs out and you pay nothing.

  3. You keep talking

    What the app shows Each minute after free time is charged in coins at the rate from that message.

    Your choice End the call at any time with the red button.

  4. You call from a profile

    What the app shows A call without a Free label uses coins at the rate shown before you place it.

    Your choice Call, or go back to the list without spending anything.

  5. Your balance runs low

    What the app shows In a call, a prompt shows roughly how many minutes are left and offers to extend. Before a profile call, a top-up sheet opens instead.

    Your choice Extend, top up, or let the call end when coins reach zero.

Coins are bought in the app, where packages and per-minute rates are listed. Those prices are set in the app and can change, so we don’t print them here.

03One call, on the clock

Understand Your Free Call Time

Here is a matched video chat drawn as a clock face. Mint is free, coral is paid, and the short stretch between them is where you decide.

Illustrative. Free time is set in the app and can differ between accounts.
  1. The match starts

    Her video connects and a free countdown begins on the call screen. Nothing is charged yet.

  2. Free time runs

    Talk as you like while it counts down. Next stays available if you’d rather meet someone else.

  3. The rate notice

    Five seconds before free time ends, a chat message shows the per-minute rate in coins.

  4. Continue or end

    Stay, and the timer restarts at 00:01 with coins charged each minute. Hang up first, and the call costs nothing.

The controls you use while talking, from Next to the call timer, are covered on the 1v1 video call page.

04Two doors, two rules

Random Match vs Profile Call

Both open a private video chat with one woman, but free works differently on each. Follow the line for the way you plan to start.

Random Match

The app picks who you meet

  1. Tap Starton the Video or Audio tab
  2. N Free badgeuses one free match
  3. Free countdownNext still available
  4. Rate noticefive seconds before the end
  5. Coins per minuteonly if you keep talking

Free matches and free time come together. Without a Free badge, starting a match may open a top-up prompt. More on how random video chat works.

Profile Call

You choose one woman and call her

Tap Video Chaton her profile

  1. Free minutesthe call starts without coins
  2. Balance promptswhen the free minutes end
  1. Rate shownbefore you place the call
  2. Top-up sheetif your balance is too low
  3. Coins per minutefrom the first minute

Looking through her profile first costs nothing; only the call itself can use coins. See video chat with women for browsing before you call.

05Where to look

How to Check Your Available Free Benefits

Your free benefits show up right where you use them. These four spots tell you what is free for you today.

  1. The Free badge on Video and Audio

    The selected tab shows how many free matches remain. No badge means none are left on that tab.

  2. Your coin balance

    The coin pill on the match screen is your balance. Packages and prices are listed in the app’s wallet.

  3. The countdown and the chat notice

    During a match, the free countdown shows the time left, and the chat notice gives the rate that follows.

  4. The Free label on a profile call

    A Free label on the Video Chat button means that call is free for you. No label means it uses coins.

Some accounts also see a reward bar from time to time that can add free matches or coins. It only appears when the app offers it, so don’t count on it.

06Before your first match

Browser Access and First-Time Setup

  1. Open in your browser
  2. Visitor session
  3. Allow camera & mic

1on1Chat runs in Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox on a phone or computer, so there is no app to download. A first visit usually sets up a visitor session, taking you to the match screen or the list of women without a form. Sign-in appears only for things like buying coins or editing your profile.

When you start your first video match, allow camera and microphone access when the browser asks. The full walkthrough, including what to do if you tapped Block, is in How It Works.

07Questions

Free Video Chat FAQ

Short answers about free matches, free time and coins. Free allowances can change, so the numbers on your screen always win.

Is 1-on-1 video chat free to start?

Yes. You can browse women, use the free matches on your account and talk during each free match’s free time without paying. After that, more matches and longer calls use coins.

How many free matches do I get?

It depends on your account and can change, so we don’t promise a number. The Free badge on the Video or Audio tab shows exactly how many you have left.

What happens when free matches run out?

The Free badge disappears. Starting another Video or Audio match may bring up a top-up prompt, while browsing women’s profiles stays free.

Does a free video call have a time limit?

Yes. Each free match opens with a short free period, counted down on screen. Five seconds before it ends, the chat shows the per-minute rate; staying after that uses coins.

Can I call women from their profiles for free?

Only when the call button carries a Free label. Without one, a profile call uses coins at the rate shown before you call.

Will I see a notice before coins are used?

Yes. In a match, a chat message gives the rate five seconds before free time ends. For a profile call, the rate is shown before you call, and a low balance opens a top-up sheet first.

Can I continue without buying coins?

You can keep browsing, use any free matches left and hang up before free time ends. Talking past free time, matching after your free matches, or a profile call without a Free label needs coins.

Do I need to download an app?

No. 1on1Chat works in the browser on your phone or computer. You can add it to your home screen if you like.

08Ready when you are

Start Free, Then Decide

Use your free matches and free call time, or browse women first. Coins come in only after free time, for matches beyond your free ones, or for profile calls without a Free label.

Free to start, not unlimited. Allowances and prices are shown in the app and can change. Adults 18+ only.
