  • Singles who enjoy chatting with strangers online
  • For singles who want to fall in love with their perfect matches

Heyy offers one-month, three-month, and six-month premium memberships. The membership includes private customer support, unlimited nickname changes, the ability to use the rear camera, unlimited refresh, message recall, 720P video chat, and more. Payment will be charged to your Google Play or App store account. The subscription automatically renews for the same package length at the same price until you cancel in settings. It is a recurring bill you can cancel anytime.

Heyy’s premium services might seem worth it to subscribe to. However, upon further investigation, we find that there are not many features left for basic members that they can’t gauge whether the premium is worth it or not. There are no free trials as well. Honestly, there are other video chat-centric apps that provide the same services at a cheaper cost and even free.

  • There is an even divide between male and female members
  • Easily find your match and start videchatting with them right away

While Heyy has a decent amount of members, it is not as popular as other video-centric mobile apps such as Snapchat. It receives over 1,000 daily logins which total up to 30,000 monthly visits. The top visitors of this app are from China and followed closely by Ukraine. The majority of its members border on the younger side, aged between 18 to 24. There is not much disparity between male and female members.

What makes Heyy an attractive app for people is the ability to video chat anyone from anywhere without having to expose who you are right away. Some prefer to use AR masks, others do not. Most of these AR masks are fun-looking and well-integrated with the user experience.
