What Monkey publishes
Monkey’s site describes random video chat with instant matching, a website, and an Android app. It says an account is part of the product, and it says the community is 18 or over. This page does not repeat a download count, a star rating, or a slogan. Bizu is not affiliated with Monkey. We have not placed paid calls on Monkey for this comparison.
Bizu is only for people 18 or over. That limit is ours, and it is stated here because the search is for a Monkey alternative. It is not a claim about who uses Monkey. If a younger reader found this page, the answer is the same: Bizu does not offer an account under 18.

How it works in the US
Monkey is a US-origin random video chat app. You do not need that history to use Bizu. Open app.bizu.live in Safari on iPhone or in Chrome. Register with Google or with a code sent to your email. Confirm you are 18 or over. Choose a host and read 180 to 300 coins per minute before you call.
- Open app.bizu.live. Safari is enough on iPhone. There is no App Store install.
- Register with Google or an email code. The account is 18+ only.
- Choose a host. Do not expect a random next stranger as the main path.
- Read the coin price, then buy a pack if you want to call. Packs start at €5.
- Apple Pay or Google Pay appears only when checkout shows it. The charge is in euros.
A rough US-dollar guide for a €5 pack is ≈ $6. That figure is not a quote, not a locked rate and not the amount a bank must show. Checkout charges euros. Billing starts when the video connects, per started minute. There is no subscription. Hosts are in several time zones. Availability changes. This page does not promise that anyone is online at a set hour.
