Facebook Messenger
First of all, the first alternative to FaceTime on Android that I am going to talk to you about is called Facebook Messenger. It is one of the most widely loved alternatives to FaceTime. It is also one of the easiest ones to use. The reasons behind this are that a huge number of people use Facebook and therefore uses – or at least acquainted with Facebook Messenger. This, in turn, makes it possible for you to video call others without the need to convince them to install and use a new app that they might not even have heard about.
The quality of the calls is pretty good. In addition to that, the app also works cross-platform. As a result, you can sync it with Android, iOS, and even to your computer which increases the fun. There is also a lite version of the same app which consumes fewer data and storage space. Although there are bits about the Facebook Messenger that are downright annoying, but overall, it is a great alternative to FaceTime from Apple.
Skype
Now, the next best alternative to FaceTime on Android that I am going to talk to you about is called Skype. This too – similar to Facebook Messenger – is a well-known as well as reputed video chat service. In fact, I can go as far as saying that the app is indeed a pioneer in the fields of the smartphone as well as computer voice and video calls. Therefore, you can be sure of its trustworthiness as well as efficiency. And to this day, the app has held its place in the market, a great feat of achievement, especially even after it has joined the Microsoft juggernaut.

The next best alternative to FaceTime on Android that is definitely well worth of your time as well as attention is called Google Hangouts. It is another app from Google that is clearly one of the best in what it does. The user interface (UI) and the working process of the app is quite similar to that of FaceTime from Apple.
In addition to that, the app enables you to make group video conferencing calls with as many as ten people at any given time.

For making a video conferencing call, all you need to do is send an invitation to join the call to all the participants along with a URL. The participants are then going to need to click on the link, and that is it. The app is going to take care of the rest and they will be able to join the conference call or meeting.
Viber

The app boasts of a user base of more than 280 million people from every corner of the world along with high ratings and some amazing reviews. The app initially began its journey as a simple text as well as an audio messaging app. However, later the developers realized the huge potential of the video calling market and they wanted to have a share as well.
Another very well-known as well as the best alternative to FaceTime is WhatsApp. Of course, almost all of you definitely know about WhatsApp. It is one of the most widely loved messaging services out there on the internet that you can find as of now.
