Omegle shut down in 2023. Six sites still do what it did — compared honestly, including ours.
Omegle closed in November 2023 after fourteen years. The thing it did — one button, one stranger, no account — was never the problem; the lack of moderation was. Everyone searching for an Omegle alternative is looking for the first part without the second.
A lot of sites that call themselves Omegle alternatives are chat rooms with a webcam bolted on: one log, many users, nobody really talking to you. If the conversation is not one on one, it is not an alternative, it is a different product.
The test of a modern random chat is whether it can be safe and still let you start as a guest. Report and Block on the call screen, adults only, and matching that is actually watched — none of that needs your email address.

Questions
Nothing replaced it one for one. Several sites do the same thing — press a button, meet one stranger on video or in text — with moderation Omegle never had. Chatta is one of them, built around American hours; OmeTV, Emerald Chat, Monkey and Chatroulette are the other names people land on.
Yes. Chatta starts as a guest with free matches, and text chat stays free. Most of the sites listed here let you start without an account; what differs is what they charge for afterwards.
Chatta is built around US evenings, so that is when most people online are in American time zones. OmeTV and Chatrandom offer a country filter, usually behind a paywall.
The good ones are moderated, adults only, and put Report and Block on the call screen. Never share your name, number or location on a random call, whichever site you use.
