Spoqi vs OmeTV: what each one keeps about you
OmeTV is app-first, has been running for years, and has a moderation team working around the clock on user reports. It also takes a fundamentally different position on evidence from the one Spoqi takes, and that is the comparison worth reading.
Reports, and what backs them up
OmeTV documents that when you report someone, "along with the complaint, moderators receive a screenshot of the offender's video and messages", and a moderator decides from that whether to ban. It is a defensible design: a human sees evidence before anybody is removed, so fewer people are banned for something they did not do.
Spoqi made the opposite call. Nothing is recorded — no video, no screenshots, no transcript, and no database column that could hold one. The consequence is stated plainly on our privacy page: a report is judged on what the reporter says and on that device's history, not on evidence we kept.
Neither is obviously right. The trade is honest in both directions: OmeTV can substantiate a report and holds an image of you to do it; Spoqi holds nothing about you and therefore cannot substantiate anything.
| Spoqi | OmeTV | |
|---|---|---|
| Screenshots kept | None, ever | Sent to moderators with each report |
| Account needed | No | No |
| Automatic nudity detection | In your browser and on our servers | Reported by users as limited |
| Where it runs | Browser, on any device | Apps and web |
| Human moderation team | No — automated, plus reports | Yes, 24/7 |
The bit worth knowing about age
Both services say 18 and over. In August 2025 Australia's eSafety Commissioner issued a formal warning to OmeTV's owner, saying the app did not have enough safety tools to stop children being contacted by adults. Reviewers have repeatedly noted that younger users get on regardless.
Spoqi is not immune to this — a checkbox is a checkbox. What we do is check continuously while you are on camera rather than only at the door: the automated check estimates age as well as looking for nudity, and a confirmed read under eighteen ends the chat and blocks the device.
Where OmeTV wins
A real moderation team, native apps, and far more people online. If you want a human to look at your report, they have humans and we do not.
