Shagle is one of the larger random video chat platforms, with a reported 7.8 million registered users, and it’s genuinely free to start: no credit card, no account required for basic random matching and text chat. Where it charges is the feature most people actually want: the gender filter is a premium-only add-on, priced around $7 a week or roughly $20 a month depending on current promotions. Location filtering is partly free, partly gated. The platform isn’t adult-focused; it’s a mixed general-audience chat site, and independent testers have generally rated its moderation as average for the category, not a standout in either direction.
