Skype-to-Skype calling is free, but you can call anywhere in the world on Skype and pay from 1.09 cents a minute (via credit or subscription). I figure, since Skype has been around longer, it’s got the edge there, with A LOT more technology available. For TVs, you can purchase a Skype-ready television, use your Bluray player with a webcam, or your current TV with a TV cam.

I think that’s a pretty nifty idea, especially for those who may be on the move, at a public place, friend’s computer, etc., who can’t download the program to a computer they don’t already own, or don’t want to for whatever reason.

One difference between ooVoo and Skype is that ooVoo allows for your friends who have NOT downloaded ooVoo to still be able to talk with you from their web browser with their Web Video Calling feature.

After taking time to play with both programs, here’s what I have to offer on the differences on the great ooVoo vs Skype debate.Īlthough they are both video-conferencing and messaging software products, they are, in fact, two very different animals.

After seeing the ooVoo video when it first came out, and noticing its uncanny resemblence to Skype, I wondered what the differences were between the ooVoo vs Skype, particularly being a military wife and needing this service when my soldier travels.
