Azar alternative: call the girl you want, no gems per match

Azar is a polished swipe-to-chat app where the good filters cost gems. If you mainly want to talk to girls, here is how a one-on-one option compares.

If you want an Azar alternative for talking to girls, 1on1Chat gets you there in two ways: press Start now for a random match with a girl, or open a profile and call her directly. No email is needed to start, and you begin with free matches.

Azar is one of the best-known video chat apps in the world, so people rarely leave it because it is broken. They leave because of the gem economy. On Azar, matching is free, but narrowing it down — to women, to a region — costs gems on every match, and the bill adds up. A site where every call is already with a girl changes that maths.

What Azar is good at

Azar launched in 2014 from Hyperconnect in Seoul. Match Group, the company behind several big dating apps, bought Hyperconnect for $1.73 billion in 2021. The app runs on iOS, Android and the web and uses a swipe gesture to skip to the next person.

Its standout feature is real-time translation, which lets two people without a shared language actually talk. In March 2025 it added Azar Lounge, a way to discover and connect with people instantly. If you want a slick, international random chat app, Azar is a strong one — and our HOLLA alternative covers a similar gem-based rival.

How Azar gems work, and why they push people away

Gems are Azar’s virtual currency. Matching itself is free, but the gender and region filters cost gems per match, and messages use them too. Azar’s own help centre documents a “Super Match” filter. Because you pay per filtered match, a session of skipping can burn through a pack quickly.

In public reviews on sites such as unstar.app, justuseapp and Sikayetvar, users commonly report that gems feel expensive, that purchases sometimes did not arrive or were deducted unexpectedly, that some profiles seem fake or belong to streamers, and that bans can be sudden with an unclear appeals process. These are user reports, not verified findings, but they explain why “Azar alternative” is such a common search — and why our alternatives list keeps growing.

Whatever app you use, check how much one filtered match costs before you buy a currency pack.

Who should keep using Azar

Azar earns its place in the best random video chat sites. Stay if:

  • You rely on real-time translation to talk with people whose language you do not speak.
  • You want a broad, mixed audience rather than a platform built around girls.
  • You prefer a native app from a large company to a browser app.
  • You rarely use filters, so the gem cost barely touches you.

What you get instead on 1on1Chat

Every call on 1on1Chat is one-on-one with a girl, so there is no gender filter to buy. Girls come mostly from Latin America — try Latina video chat — plus the Philippines, Vietnam and elsewhere. Profiles show name, country and photos, so choosing is free: you just tap and call.

Pricing is simpler to follow. You get free matches first, and the match screen tells you how many are left. After that, calls use coins; VIP is optional. If languages worry you, many girls speak Spanish and some speak good English — video chat across languages has practical tips.
