Organization and Description of Business [Abstract] | |
Organization and Description of Business | 1. Organization and Description of Business The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Paltalk, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, A.V.M. Software, Inc., Paltalk Software Inc., Paltalk Holdings, Inc., Tiny Acquisition Inc., Camshare, Inc., Fire Talk LLC, Vumber LLC and ManyCam ULC (collectively, the “Company”). The Company’s product portfolio includes Paltalk, Camfrog and Tinychat, which together host a large collection of video-based communities. The Company’s other products are ManyCam and Vumber. ManyCam is a live streaming software and virtual camera that allows users to deliver professional live videos on streaming platforms, video conferencing apps and distance learning tools. Vumber is a telecommunications services provider that enables users to communicate privately by having multiple phone numbers with any area code through which calls can be forwarded to a user’s existing telephone number. The Company has an over 20-year history of technology innovation and hold 10 patents. ManyCam Asset Acquisition On June 9, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, ManyCam ULC, an unlimited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”), Visicom Media Inc., a Canadian corporation (“Visicom”), and 2434936 Alberta ULC, an unlimited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta (“Target NewCo”), pursuant to which the Purchaser purchased, effective as of the Effective Date, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Target NewCo (the “ManyCam Acquisition”). Prior to the ManyCam Acquisition, Target NewCo held all assets related to, or used by Visicom in connection with, the business of developing and distributing virtual webcam driver software, including virtual backgrounds and/or “masks” or other camera effects (other than the Excluded Contracts (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)), whether tangible or intangible, including, but not limited to, Target NewCo’s ManyCam software (“ManyCam”) and related source code, customer lists, customer relationships and all associated customer information, contracts with contractors and suppliers, brand names, trade secrets, trademarks, trade names, designs, copyrights, websites, all URLs, goodwill and intellectual property associated with each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Conveyed Assets”). The Company concluded that the Conveyed Assets were not considered a business for purposes of Regulation S-X and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. On June 30, 2022, we entered into a License Agreement with Visicom (the “License Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to distribute, at the discretion and direction of Visicom, a specified number of ManyCam software updates to certain license holders to whom Visicom has previously granted a “lifetime” license to ManyCam software. As consideration for distributing the software updates, Visicom paid us an initial upfront nonrefundable payment of $65,000. The License Agreement provides that Visicom may purchase additional licenses at prices specified therein. Other than providing a one-time, limited license to Visicom for the distribution of ManyCam software updates pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, we do not have any obligation to provide support or service to the licensee end users. For more information regarding the ManyCam Acquisition, see Note 12. Macro-Economic Factors and Update on COVID-19 The Company’s results of operations have been and may continue to be negatively impacted by the uncertainty regarding COVID-19 and macro-economic factors, including the timing of economic recessions and/or recovery and the overall inflationary environment. Prolonged periods of inflation may affect the Company’s ability to target new customers as well as keep existing customers engaged and may ultimately have a correlating effect on the Company’s users’ discretionary spending. Furthermore, the recent strength of the US dollar compared to foreign currencies could have a negative effect on the Company’s non-US customer base, as the Company’s subscription prices are based in US dollars. Our user growth may continue to slow or decline as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to taper, particularly in light of a potential economic downturn. Furthermore, the recent strength of the US dollar compared to foreign currencies could have a negative effect on our non-US customer base, as our subscription prices are based in US dollars. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the requirements of the Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The most significant accounting estimate inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include the discount rates and weighted average costs of capital used in the fair value of the ManyCam Assets and in assigning their respective useful lives. These fair values and estimates were based on a number of factors, including a valuation by an independent third party. Revenue Recognition In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Subscription Revenue The Company generates subscription revenue primarily from monthly premium subscription services. Subscription revenues are presented net of refunds, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, subscriptions were offered in durations of one-, six- twelve-and twenty four -month terms. All subscription fees, however, are paid by credit card at the origination of the subscription regardless of the term of the subscription. Revenues from multi-month subscriptions are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period where the service is offered to the customer, indicated by length of the subscription term purchased. The unearned portion of subscription revenue is presented as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue at December 31, 2021 was $1,915,493, which was subsequently recognized as subscription revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022. The ending balance of deferred revenue at December 31, 2022 was $2,257,452. In addition, the Company offers virtual gifts to its users. Users may purchase credits in $5, $10 or $20 increments that can be redeemed for a host of virtual gifts such as a rose, a beer or a car, among other items. These gifts are given among users to enhance communication and are typically redeemed within 30 days of purchase. Upon purchase, the virtual gifts are credited to the users’ account and are under the users’ control. Virtual gift revenue is recognized upon the users’ redemption of virtual gifts at the fixed transaction price and included in subscription revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Virtual gift revenue is presented as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets until virtual gifts are redeemed. Virtual gift revenue was $4,550,864 and $5,586,710 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The ending balance of deferred revenue from virtual gifts at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $393,433 and $293,737, respectively. Advertising Revenue The Company generates advertising revenue from the display of advertisements on its products through contractual agreements with third parties that are based on the number of advertising impressions delivered. Measurements of impressions include when a customer clicks an advertisement (CPC basis), views an advertisement impression (CPM basis), or registers for an external website via an advertisement by clicking on or through the application (CPA basis). Advertising revenue is dependent upon traffic as well as the advertising inventory placed on the Company’s products. Technology Service Revenue Technology service revenue was historically generated under service and partnership agreements that the Company negotiated with third parties which included development, integration, engineering, licensing or other services that the Company provided. During 2021, the Company recorded technology service revenue in connection with its agreement to serve as a launch partner with Open Props, Inc. (formerly YouNow, Inc., and referred to herein as “YouNow”) and to integrate YouNow’s props infrastructure (the “Props platform”) into the Company’s Camfrog and Paltalk applications (as amended, the “YouNow Agreement”). In August 2021, the Company received notice from YouNow that it was terminating the YouNow Agreement, and that it would no longer support the Props platform past the end of calendar year 2021. The Company did not generate any technology service revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022. Net (Loss) Income Per Share Basic earnings and net (loss) income per share are computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period as defined by ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and money market funds. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As part of its cash management process, the Company periodically reviews the relative credit standing of these banks. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be negligible. Goodwill Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (as amended by ASU 2017-04) The Company tests the recorded amount of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on December 31 of each fiscal year or more frequently if there are indicators that the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its carried value. The Company has one reporting unit. The Company performed a qualitative assessment and concluded that no impairment existed as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred taxes in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC No. 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Accrued interest and penalties would be included on the related tax liability line in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s policy for global intangible low taxed income is to treat as a period cost when incurred. Intangible Assets The Company acquired amortizable intangible assets as part of a purchase agreement consisting of internally developed software, intellectual property (trade names, trademarks and URLs) and subscriber relationships/ customer lists. The Company’s intangible assets represent definite lived intangible assets, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: Patents 20 years Trade names, trademarks, product names, URLs 5-10 years Internally developed software 5-6 years Non-compete agreements 3 years Subscriber/customer relationships 3-12 years The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset are less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows. No impairments were recorded on intangible assets as no impairment indicators were noted for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 5. Income Taxes The Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) and Chips and Science Act (“CHIPS Act”) were both enacted in August 2022. The IRA introduced new provisions including a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax for certain large corporations that have at least an average of $1 billion adjusted financial statement income over a consecutive three-tax-year period and a 1% excise tax surcharge on stock repurchases. The CHIPS Act provides a variety of incentives associated with investments in domestic semiconductor manufacturing and related activities. Both the IRA and CHIPS Act are applicable for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022 and had no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“American Rescue Plan”) was signed into law to provide additional relief in connection with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The American Rescue Plan includes, among other things, provisions relating to PPP loan expansion, defined pension contributions, excessive employee remuneration, and the repeal of the election to allocate interest expense on a worldwide basis. Under ASC 740, the effects of new legislation are recognized upon enactment. The enactment of the American Rescue Plan did not impact the Company’s income tax provision. The components of income (loss) before the provision (benefit) for income taxes are as follows: December 31, 2022 2021 Domestic Operations $ (2,683,143 ) $ 1,334,057 Foreign Operations (900,772 ) - $ (3,583,915 ) $ 1,334,057 The Company’s provision for income taxes is comprised of the following: December 31, 2022 2021 Current Federal $ - $ - State and local 15,685 9,951 Foreign - - Total Current 15,685 9,951 Deferred Federal - - State and local - - Foreign (187,350 ) - Change in Valuation Allowance - - Total Deferred (187,350 ) - Total (Benefit) Provision $ (171,665 ) $ 9,951 The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% for 2022 and 2021 as follows: 2022 2021 Income tax benefit (expense) at federal statutory rate 21.0 % 21.0 % Permanent Differences - 0.2 % State and local taxes (0.7 )% (4.5 )% Valuation allowance (7.6 )% (14.3 )% Deferred tax adjustment - 2.6 % Share based compensation (7.8 )% 3.9 % PPP Loan Forgiveness - (8.0 )% Foreign Income Tax Rate Differential 0.5 % - Other (0.6 )% (0.2 )% Effective tax rate 4.8 % 0.7 % Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: December 31, 2022 2021 Deferred Tax Assets: U.S. federal and state net operating losses $ 3,436,822 $ 3,907,758 Foreign net operating losses 103,375 - Share-based compensation 511,603 767,318 Amortization of intangible assets 583,727 716,598 Rent 36,413 56,251 Capitalized IRC §174 costs 1,134,472 - Tax credits 62,969 62,969 Other 257,473 266,986 Subtotal 6,126,854 5,777,880 Less Valuation Allowance: (5,984,591 ) (5,713,490 ) Total Deferred Tax Assets 142,263 64,390 Deferred Tax Liabilities: Amortization of intangible assets (820,279 ) - Property and equipment (31,262 ) (64,390 ) Other (7,625 ) - Total Deferred Tax Liabilities (859,166 ) (64,390 ) Net Deferred Tax Liability $ (716,903 ) $ - In assessing the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the Company evaluated whether it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or net operating losses can be utilized. The Company considered all positive and negative evidence when determining the amount of the net deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, historical earnings, scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2022. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our projections for future growth. Based on the weight of available evidence, the Company determined that its U.S. deferred tax assets are not realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis and has recorded a valuation allowance against its net U.S. deferred tax assets. The Company’s valuation allowance increased by $271,101 during 2022. The Company will continue to evaluate its deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit. If it is determined in future periods that portions of the Company’s deferred income tax assets satisfy the realization standards, the valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $15.2 million, of which $12.5 million may be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Of the $15.2 million, approximately, $14.0 million are available to offset 100% of future taxable income but expire in varying amounts between 2031 to 2037, if not utilized. The remaining $1.2 million is available to offset 80% of future taxable income but may be carried forward indefinitely. The Company also has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $0.5 million, which begin to expire in 2042. The Company applies the applicable authoritative guidance which prescribes a comprehensive model for the manner in which a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements all material uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has no uncertain tax positions. As such, there are no uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months from December 31, 2022. The Company files a federal income tax return, income tax returns in various state tax jurisdictions, and income tax returns in Canada. The open tax years for the federal income tax return are 2019 through 2022. The state income tax returns have varying statutes of limitations. The open tax years relating to any of the Company’s federal and state net operating losses begin in 2009. |

Gross proceeds received by the Company from the August 2021 Offering were approximately $4.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses of approximately $769,200. These costs were recorded in stockholders’ equity as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in connection with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. In connection with the August 2021 Offering, the Company’s common stock was approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PALT” and began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on August 3, 2021. October 2021 Underwritten Public Offering On October 19, 2021, we announced the pricing and closing of an underwritten public offering of an aggregate of 1,552,500 shares of our common stock (which includes 202,500 shares sold to the underwriter pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option) at a public offering price of $7.50 per share (the “October 2021 Offering”).

These costs were recorded in stockholders’ equity as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in connection with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Stock Options The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of the options granted during the years ended: December 31, 2022 2021 Expected volatility 173 – 182 % 178.0 – 197.0 % Expected life of option 5.2 – 6.2 5.0 – 5.5 Risk free interest rate 2.53 % 0.81 – 0.88 % Expected dividend yield 0.0 % 0.0 % The expected life of the options is the period of time over which employees and non-employees are expected to hold their options prior to exercise. The expected life of options has been determined using the “simplified” method as prescribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, which uses the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The volatility of the Company’s common stock is calculated using the Company’s historical volatilities beginning at the grant date and going back for a period of time equal to the expected life of the award. The Company estimates potential forfeitures of stock awards and adjusts recorded stock-based compensation expense accordingly. The Company estimates pre-vesting forfeitures primarily based on the Company’s historical experience and is adjusted to reflect actual forfeitures as the stock-based awards vest. The following tables summarize stock option activity during the year ended December 31, 2022: Weighted Average Number of Exercise Options Price Outstanding at January 1, 2022 435,770 $ 5.31 Granted 248,501 2.66 Exercised during period -- -- Forfeited or canceled, during the period (52,588 ) 3.64 Expired, during the period (9,609 ) 49.29 Outstanding at December 31, 2022 622,074 $ 3.71 Exercisable at December 31, 2022 468,023 $ 4.09 At December 31, 2022, there was $338,374 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.04 years. On December 31, 2022, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was $9,360 . On December 31, 2021, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was $149,394 and $109,644, respectively. The intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the fair value of such awards as of the period-end date. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company granted stock options to members of the Board of Directors to purchase an aggregate of 24,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.66 per share. The stock options vest in four equal quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter in 2022 and have a term of ten years. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company also granted options to employees to purchase an aggregate of 224,501shares of common stock. These options have a vesting date ranging between the grant date and up to four years, have a term of ten years and have an exercise price of $2.66. The aggregate fair value for the options granted during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $636,957 and $145,522, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for the Company’s stock options included in the consolidated statements of operations was as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 Cost of revenue $ 19,500 $ 67,182 Sales and marketing expense 2,056 294 Product development expense 24,748 11,302 General and administrative expense 287,521 (114,431 ) Total stock-based compensation expense $ 333,825 $ (35,653 ) Treasury Shares The Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock repurchase plan for up to $1,750,000 of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Stock Repurchase Plan”), effective as of March 29, 2022 and expiring on the one-year anniversary of such date. Shares may be repurchased from time-to-time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 programs, and the Stock Repurchase Plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased will be determined by a committee of the Board of Directors at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, general market and economic conditions, alternative investment opportunities and other corporate considerations.

Commitments and Contingencies | 11. Commitments and Contingencies Patent Litigations On July 23, 2021, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Paltalk Holdings, Inc., filed a patent infringement lawsuit against WebEx Communications, Inc., Cisco WebEx LLC, and Cisco Systems, Inc. (collectively, “Cisco”), in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. The Company alleges that Cisco’s Webex products have infringed U.S. Patent No. 6,683,858, and that the Company is entitled to damages. A Markman hearing took place on February 24, 2022. On September 7, 2022, the United States Patent Office issued a reexamination of U.S. Patent No. 6,683,858, and on January 19, 2023, the Examiner issued an Ex Parte Reexamination Certificate, ending the reexamination and confirming the patentability of claims 1-10 of U.S. Patent No. 6,683,858. Trial is now scheduled for early third quarter of 2023. Legal Proceedings The Company may be included in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates the need for a reserve for specific legal matters based on the probability of an unfavorable outcome and the reasonability of an estimable loss. No reserve was deemed necessary as of December 31, 2022. Officer Employment Agreements On March 23, 2022, the Company entered into Amended and Restated Employment Agreements with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), which amended and restated their existing employment agreements with the Company dated October 7, 2016 and December 9, 2019, respectively.

Asset Acquisition - Securities Purchase Agreement | 12. Asset Acquisition – Securities Purchase Agreement As discussed above in Note 1, on June 9, 2022, the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, the Purchaser, Visicom and Target NewCo, pursuant to which the Purchaser purchased, effective as of the Effective Date, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Target NewCo. The Purchaser acquired the Conveyed Assets for a cash purchase price of $2.7 million (the “Cash Consideration”). In addition to the Cash Consideration, Visicom is entitled to receive an additional payment of up to $600,000 (the “Earn-Out Payment”) based on the sales of the ManyCam software less chargebacks and refunds (“Gross Sales”) in the six-month period following the Closing (the “Earn-Out Period”) as follows: (i) if the Gross Sales during the Earn-Out Period are greater than $800,000, the Earn-Out Payment shall be $600,000, (ii) if the Gross Sales during the Earn-Out Period are greater than $700,000 but less than $800,000, the Earn-Out Payment shall be $300,000, (iii) if the Gross Sales during the Earn-Out Period are greater than $600,000 but less than $700,000, the Earn-Out Payment shall be $150,000 and (iv) if the Gross Sales during the Earn-Out Period do not exceed $600,000, then the Seller will not be paid any portion of the Earn-Out Payment. The Company concluded that the Conveyed Assets were not considered a business for purposes of Regulation S-X and ASC 805, Business Combinations. While Gross Sales during the Earn Out Period exceeded $600,000 and was less than $700,000, there were some adjustments made to calculation and it was agreed by both parties to a negotiated amount. As a result, the Company recorded a liability in the amount of $85,000 for payment to the Seller, with a corresponding adjustment to the cost basis of the Conveyed Assets. As part of a valuation analysis, the Company identified intangible assets, including internally developed software, subscriber relationships/customer list and intellectual property (trade names, trademarks, URLs). The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using the “income approach,” which requires a forecast of all of the expected future cash flows and includes significant inputs such as the weighted average cost of capital and the discount premium. On the date of measurement the weighted average cost of capital was 23.2% and the discount premium was 7%. The Company considered several factors to estimate the economic useful life of the Customer Relationships including those noted under ASC 350-30-35-3. The Customer Relationships were estimated to have an economic useful life of three years for tradenames and seven years for developed software and customer list. This assumption was deemed reasonable based on reviewing useful lives for the comparable companies. Final allocation was determined with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist hired by Company management. The following table summarizes the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets and their respective useful lives: Estimated Estimated Total Estimated Internally developed software $ 1,504,000 $ 47,345 $ 1,551,345 7 Intellectual property (trade names, trademarks, URLs) 321,000 10,115 331,115 7 Subscriber Relationships/Customer List 875,000 27,540 902,540 3 Total acquired assets $ 2,700,000 $ 85,000 $ 2,785,000 The estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the next five years and thereafter will approximate $804,333 in 2023, $804,333 in 2024, $566,029 in 2025, $379,633 in 2026, $379,633 in 2027 and $546,250 thereafter. The Company incurred approximately $242,000 of expenses in connection with the ManyCam Acquisition and capitalized them accordingly. As part of the accounting for the ManyCam assets, the Company provisionally recorded a deferred tax liability of $0.9 million with an offset to intangible assets related to the excess financial reporting basis over the tax basis of the Conveyed Assets. On June 30, 2022, the Company entered into the License Agreement with Visicom, pursuant to which the Company agreed to distribute, at the discretion and direction of Visicom, a specified number of ManyCam software updates to certain license holders to whom Visicom has previously granted a “lifetime” license to ManyCam software. As consideration for distributing the software updates, Visicom paid the Company an initial upfront nonrefundable payment of $65,000. The License Agreement provides that Visicom may purchase additional licenses at prices specified therein. Other than providing a one-time, limited license to Visicom for the distribution of ManyCam software updates pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, the Company does not have any obligation to provide support or service to the licensee end users. The Company recognized the $65,000 payment as revenue during the period ended December 31, 2022, as it satisfied its performance obligation as specified in the License Agreement. |

Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the requirements of the Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The most significant accounting estimate inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include the discount rates and weighted average costs of capital used in the fair value of the ManyCam Assets and in assigning their respective useful lives. These fair values and estimates were based on a number of factors, including a valuation by an independent third party. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Subscription Revenue The Company generates subscription revenue primarily from monthly premium subscription services. Subscription revenues are presented net of refunds, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, subscriptions were offered in durations of one-, six- twelve-and twenty four -month terms. All subscription fees, however, are paid by credit card at the origination of the subscription regardless of the term of the subscription. Revenues from multi-month subscriptions are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period where the service is offered to the customer, indicated by length of the subscription term purchased. The unearned portion of subscription revenue is presented as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue at December 31, 2021 was $1,915,493, which was subsequently recognized as subscription revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022. The ending balance of deferred revenue at December 31, 2022 was $2,257,452. In addition, the Company offers virtual gifts to its users. Users may purchase credits in $5, $10 or $20 increments that can be redeemed for a host of virtual gifts such as a rose, a beer or a car, among other items. These gifts are given among users to enhance communication and are typically redeemed within 30 days of purchase. Upon purchase, the virtual gifts are credited to the users’ account and are under the users’ control. Virtual gift revenue is recognized upon the users’ redemption of virtual gifts at the fixed transaction price and included in subscription revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Virtual gift revenue is presented as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets until virtual gifts are redeemed. Virtual gift revenue was $4,550,864 and $5,586,710 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The ending balance of deferred revenue from virtual gifts at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $393,433 and $293,737, respectively. Advertising Revenue The Company generates advertising revenue from the display of advertisements on its products through contractual agreements with third parties that are based on the number of advertising impressions delivered. Measurements of impressions include when a customer clicks an advertisement (CPC basis), views an advertisement impression (CPM basis), or registers for an external website via an advertisement by clicking on or through the application (CPA basis). Advertising revenue is dependent upon traffic as well as the advertising inventory placed on the Company’s products. Technology Service Revenue Technology service revenue was historically generated under service and partnership agreements that the Company negotiated with third parties which included development, integration, engineering, licensing or other services that the Company provided. During 2021, the Company recorded technology service revenue in connection with its agreement to serve as a launch partner with Open Props, Inc. (formerly YouNow, Inc., and referred to herein as “YouNow”) and to integrate YouNow’s props infrastructure (the “Props platform”) into the Company’s Camfrog and Paltalk applications (as amended, the “YouNow Agreement”). In August 2021, the Company received notice from YouNow that it was terminating the YouNow Agreement, and that it would no longer support the Props platform past the end of calendar year 2021. The Company did not generate any technology service revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022. |
Net (Loss) Income Per Share | Net (Loss) Income Per Share Basic earnings and net (loss) income per share are computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period as defined by ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and money market funds. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As part of its cash management process, the Company periodically reviews the relative credit standing of these banks. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be negligible. |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (as amended by ASU 2017-04) The Company tests the recorded amount of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on December 31 of each fiscal year or more frequently if there are indicators that the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its carried value. The Company has one reporting unit. The Company performed a qualitative assessment and concluded that no impairment existed as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred taxes in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC No. 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Accrued interest and penalties would be included on the related tax liability line in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s policy for global intangible low taxed income is to treat as a period cost when incurred. |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets The Company acquired amortizable intangible assets as part of a purchase agreement consisting of internally developed software, intellectual property (trade names, trademarks and URLs) and subscriber relationships/ customer lists. The Company’s intangible assets represent definite lived intangible assets, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: Patents 20 years Trade names, trademarks, product names, URLs 5-10 years Internally developed software 5-6 years Non-compete agreements 3 years Subscriber/customer relationships 3-12 years The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset are less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows. No impairments were recorded on intangible assets as no impairment indicators were noted for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. |

Earn out payment, description | In addition to the Cash Consideration, Visicom is entitled to receive an additional payment of up to $600,000 (the “Earn-Out Payment”) based on the sales of the ManyCam software less chargebacks and refunds (“Gross Sales”) in the six-month period following the Closing (the “Earn-Out Period”) as follows: (i) if the Gross Sales during the Earn-Out Period are greater than $800,000, the Earn-Out Payment shall be $600,000, (ii) if the Gross Sales during the Earn-Out Period are greater than $700,000 but less than $800,000, the Earn-Out Payment shall be $300,000, (iii) if the Gross Sales during the Earn-Out Period are greater than $600,000 but less than $700,000, the Earn-Out Payment shall be $150,000 and (iv) if the Gross Sales during the Earn-Out Period do not exceed $600,000, then the Seller will not be paid any portion of the Earn-Out Payment. The Company concluded that the Conveyed Assets were not considered a business for purposes of Regulation S-X and ASC 805, Business Combinations. While Gross Sales during the Earn Out Period exceeded $600,000 and was less than $700,000, there were some adjustments made to calculation and it was agreed by both parties to a negotiated amount. As a result, the Company recorded a liability in the amount of $85,000 for payment to the Seller, with a corresponding adjustment to the cost basis of the Conveyed Assets. | |
