yeah this is on the tjub blog so take it with a grain of salt. but i'm gonna be honest about where ometv actually wins too. no point lying about it.
quick answer
if you need the biggest possible user base and access from any device, ometv. if you want better moderation, cleaner design, and don't mind ios only, tjub. both work, they're just different.
the actual comparison
moderation & safety tjub wins
ometv
has moderation but it's hit or miss. uses a mix of automated stuff and human reviewers. reports get looked at but response time varies. during peak hours things can slip through.
tjub
ai moderation that works in real-time. catches inappropriate stuff and ends chats automatically before things escalate. way faster than waiting for someone to review a report.
user base ometv wins
ometv
massive. been around since 2015 and has tons of users worldwide. you'll basically never run out of people to match with. available on web, ios, and android.
tjub
smaller but growing. currently ios only which limits things. matching is still fast because the algorithm is efficient, but you won't have as much variety.
design & user experience tjub wins
ometv
functional but dated. the web version especially feels like it hasn't been updated in years. lots of ads on the free tier. gets the job done but nothing special.
tjub
actually looks modern. dark theme, smooth animations, intuitive controls. feels like an app from 2026 instead of 2015. no ads cluttering up the interface.
features
ometv
more features overall. gender filter (paid), location filter (paid), real-time translation for 100+ languages, ar effects, virtual gifts. years of development shows.
tjub
three chat modes: video, voice, and text. gender filter for tjub+ subscribers. focused on doing the core stuff well instead of adding a million features.
pricing tjub wins
ometv
free tier has ads and limited features. premium is expensive, like $8/week or $30/month to remove ads and unlock filters. adds up fast.
tjub
free version includes video, voice, text chat, reporting, and blocking. no ads. tjub+ adds gender filter, priority matching, and unlimited matches for those who want it.
privacy
ometv
requires facebook login or phone verification. stores chat history for moderation purposes. standard data practices, nothing exceptional.
tjub
just needs a phone number to sign up. minimal data collection. ai processes stuff locally where possible. more privacy-focused approach overall.
what i actually experienced
during my week on ometv i had some good conversations but also ran into more inappropriate stuff than i'd like. the sheer number of users means more variety but also more garbage to wade through. the interface felt clunky, especially all the premium upsells.
on tjub the experience was cleaner. fewer users overall but the ones i matched with seemed more... normal? the ai moderation actually seemed to work, i didn't run into anything that made me want to close the app. design was way nicer too.
who should use which
use ometv if you:
- need android or web access (tjub is ios only right now)
- want the biggest possible pool of users
- need real-time translation for international chats
- don't mind paying for premium to remove ads
use tjub if you:
- have an iphone and want the best mobile experience
- care about moderation and safety
- want a free tier that's actually usable
- prefer clean, modern design
- value privacy
bottom line
both apps work. ometv has more users and features, tjub has better moderation and design. neither is objectively "better," it depends what you prioritize. try both and see which one fits you.
personally i use tjub more now because the experience is just nicer and i run into way less weird stuff. but if tjub doesn't have enough users in your region or you need android, ometv is a solid backup.
