Is Joi 1v1 free?
Joi 1v1 is free to start. You can try a 1v1 video chat without signing up first.
Getting started costs nothing: open the app, tap start, and have your first conversation. There is no sign up required just to try it.
What is included
- Starting a chat and getting matched with new people.
- Moving to the next match whenever you like.
- Built-in text-message translation while you chat.
Optional purchases
Some features are available through optional purchases if you want more from your experience. You are never required to buy anything to start meeting people, and you choose if and when to spend.
Why free to start
We keep the door open because the fastest way to know whether Joi 1v1 is for you is to have a real conversation, not to read about one. So starting a chat, getting matched and moving to the next person are all part of the free experience — you can meet people and see how it feels before you ever think about spending.
What optional purchases are for
If you decide you want more from your time on Joi 1v1, optional purchases are there for that — and only if you want them. They are always clearly presented, you see exactly what each one includes before you confirm, and nothing is charged without your say-so. You stay in full control of if and when you spend.
In short: you can start, match and chat for free, and any spending is entirely your choice. There is no paywall standing between you and your first conversation.
