Pick Your Poison
Choose IMVU: Social Chat & Avatar app if...
IMVU is a decent choice for those seeking a virtual social space, but be prepared for a potentially expensive experience if you want to truly customize your avatar and avoid constant advertising. Users who prioritize free-to-play experiences with smoother performance might want to explore other options.
Choose Joi - Live Video Chat if...
Joi provides easy access to random video chats, connecting you with people worldwide. While the app delivers on its promises, the high cost of in-app purchases and potential for costly micro-transactions will be a deterrent for some users. It's best for users willing to spend money to engage in video chats and willing to overlook the bugs some users have reported.
