Our experts test and review the latest video chat apps from Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp, Facebook, Apple and more to help you find the right choice for your next online get-together or meeting. Through our independent and rigorous testing, we provide information to show:

• which app has the best video and sound quality
• which apps are easiest to use
• which apps use the least data
• which services make it easy to cancel your account.

We also cover whether the apps are supported by Android, iOS, MacOS and Windows, note important features, and highlight any limitations such as the maximum number of simultaneous users and whether there’s a cap on call duration. We test the free versions of these programs but also record features available in the paid versions where applicable.

Though we provide information on security and privacy claims, we don’t conduct security and privacy tests. These aspects aren’t scored.

Our interactive comparison tool helps you easily compare the pros and cons of each app and our Recommended list lets you see at a glance which app gives you the right mix of performance and ease of use.
