They are like Apple and Oranges (pun intended). No, Facetime is between iOS only, Duo is an app from Google which works on iOS and Android and it allows for video calls only at this point and it is basically just another Voip app like Skype or Whats App except that unlike Skype it works via your phone number and not a user name.

It's in both app stores on both platforms. I haven't tried it on the iPhone yet, but it is very accessible on Android with talkback. All of my Android buddies really like it. It verifies your phone number on first install by sending you a text message. Then it can pull up your contacts and either let you call someone who has the app or invite those who don't.
