Cost
Words cost nothing. Voice and video use coins.
StrangerLine charges for the parts of a chat that cost real bandwidth: live voice and live video. A text match is free to start, and nobody asks you to sign up before you can try it.
| What you do | Cost | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Getting matched by text | No coins | No account, no camera, no microphone. |
| Typing in the private chat | Free to begin | Message limits can apply; the chat window tells you if you hit one. |
| Voice call | Coins per minute | Free tries, when the site is offering them, are shown next to Audio on the start page. |
| Video call | Coins per minute | Same rule as voice, shown next to Video. Your browser asks for camera and microphone first. |
Questions about coins
Can I pay without registering?
Yes. Choosing a coin pack creates a guest account for you in the background and takes you to the payment page.
Why don’t you list exact prices here?
Packs and offers change, and the start page always shows the current ones. We would rather send you there than print a number that goes stale.
At what point are coins taken?
Only once a voice or video call connects. Browsing the start page and text matching use none.
