Randomchat scores 28 out of 100 in ChatRadar’s testing, a Safety Tier D built on minimal moderation and no signup requirement. It’s free to use across both text and video modes, and the honest trade-off is a familiar one at this tier — genuine anonymity paired with the lightest moderation level ChatRadar tracks.
What Randomchat Actually Is
Randomchat is a straightforward anonymous pairing platform supporting both text and video/voice chat, connecting you with a new stranger every time you start a session. There’s no profile to build and no account to create — you click Start and you’re in.
Against most of our full ranking of all 49 platforms, Randomchat’s dual text-and-video support without requiring a signup for either mode puts it closer to fully anonymous competitors like Chat Alternative than to platforms that gate video behind an account.
How It Works
- Go to Randomchat’s site in any browser.
- No registration is required for either text or video chat.
- Choose text or video/voice mode.
- Click Start to connect with a random stranger.
- Move to a new match at any time.
- Report any user who violates platform rules directly from the chat screen.
What It Costs
Randomchat is free to use, with no registration fees required for either its text or video/voice modes.
That puts it alongside platforms with no cost at all in ChatRadar’s grid.
Safety
Randomchat scores 28 out of 100 in ChatRadar’s testing, landing it in Safety Tier D, ChatRadar’s lowest tier. That reflects minimal moderation and no signup requirement, with a minimum age of 18 applied across ChatRadar’s grid.
See our scoring methodology for the eight dimensions behind that number, and ChatRadar’s Safety Index for how Randomchat compares across all 58 platforms we track.
Who It’s For
Randomchat fits someone who wants the flexibility to choose between text or video chat, both fully anonymous, with no account required for either mode.
It’s not for anyone prioritizing safety infrastructure. With Tier D moderation and no signup step, Randomchat offers fewer structural protections than platforms that require at least an account for video specifically, like ChitChat.
Where It Falls Short
The honest downside is the same one shared across most fully anonymous, no-signup platforms at this tier: minimal moderation means there’s little standing between a reported user and reconnecting immediately, and no account requirement removes any identity-based accountability for either chat mode.
How It Compares

| CooMeet | 93 (A) | Trial only | No to start | Yes |
| Camsurf | 75 (B) | Freemium | No | Yes |
| ChitChat | 28 (D) | Freemium | Video only | No |
| Chat Alternative | 42 (C) | Yes | No | Yes |
