BBM
[Price: Free with in-app purchases]
BBM has had a lot of ups and downs since it was released a few years ago, but it seems to have its ducks in a row now. One of its more recent feature additions was the ability for BBM users to video call each other. The feature works as you would expect and it tends to work well for most people. It may not be the best idea for you to switch to BBM, but if you already use it or you already like it, then there’s no real reason to leave it to look at other video calling apps.

ICQ
[Price: Free with in-app purchases]
ICQ has been around for a very long time. So long, in fact, that it was a competitor to AOL Instant Messenger before being bought by AOL in the late 90s. These days, ICQ is still one of the more solid video calling apps that also has a built-in messenger service. The video calling works rather well and the messaging side of things is also good. It brags about being able to work over 3G web connections and even comes with a password lock for security.

JusTalk
[Price: Free]
JusTalk is one of only a few video calling apps that focuses on video calling first and other features second. It is cross-platform and uses your Facebook account to help you connect quickly to your friends and family. Some of the other features include group chat, free phone calls over data, and it even has things like doodling in video chat and games. Generally, if you’re using something like Hangouts or Skype already, there isn’t much of a motive to leave for something like this. However, if you want something that’s essentially just a video calling app, this isn’t a bad choice.
