19 platforms · ordered by my editorial score · checked 2026-08-06 to 2026-09-14

White-label families are listed once, under their highest-rated storefront. Streamate and Chatmate are the same rooms as Jerkmate. See which brands are the same site.

That order is my score, not a price. Ranked by what a private minute costs instead, it is the minutes calculator. What a whole evening comes to, tip included, is on the session page. Every one of the 21 cam sites here, white labels included, is in the directory.

My pick out of that list, and where I would spend

My pick, and why

Chaturbate9.0/10

The best free room on the internet, and the biggest choice of anyone.

How I make money from this

I am an affiliate: when you click through to a cam site from here and sign up, that site pays me a commission, and it never changes what you pay. What it does not do is set the order. Those scores are mine, they were set before the links were attached, and 8 of the 38 cam sites I cover pay me nothing at all. Those are reviewed here like everything else, with no button on the page, because there is nothing to send you to. The full version is here, including the reason being right costs me almost nothing.

The bar pinned to the bottom of this screen is a paid slot, not my pick: one of the 6 platforms I both rate 8.0 or higher and earn a commission from, chosen by the week rather than by the score. My ranking is ordered by that score, it is not filtered on money, and it does not rotate.

Check the prices yourself

Move the budget and the ranking moves with it. Package tiers and welcome offers do not scale evenly, so the cheapest platform at $20 is not always the cheapest at $200.

What $50 actually buys

Tokens, credits and gold are different currencies with different per-unit prices, and the price drops as you buy more. This converts all of it into the only unit that compares: minutes, and real dollars per minute. Every row shows its working.

What are you paying for?
$50

$10 to $500. The ranking changes as you move it, because package tiers and welcome offers do not scale evenly.

Watching public rooms. Free everywhere it is offered, so the comparison is what it costs if you upgrade.

3 of 38 platforms have pricing complete enough to compare, with 35 still pending

A platform appears above only when it has verified USD package tiers (or a currency pegged 1:1 to the dollar) and a verified private per-minute rate. Nothing here is estimated, converted from another currency, or filled in from a category average.

Of those 3, 3 have pricing corroborated across more than one source. The rest are marked in the rows above and their figures carry a dotted underline. They are usable, but they are not confirmed.

6, billing model not researched

AdultWork, Big7, Cams.com, DXLive, SakuraLive, Visit-X

5, no verified private per-minute rate

Amateur.TV, FapChat, LuckyCrush, SWAG, XloveCam

15, performers set their own rate, awaiting a room sample

BongaCams, CAM4, CamContacts, CamSoda, Chatmate, Chaturbate, ImLive, Jerkmate, LiveJasmin, OleCams, SecretFriends, SkyPrivate, SoulCams, Streamate, Stripchat

3, priced in EUR/GBP/BRL, excluded rather than converted

Câmera Privê, MyDirtyHobby, Xcams

5, access is sold by the period, so private time is not metered

Chatrandom, Chatspin, CooMeet, Flingster, Shagle

What I can and cannot prove

38 platforms tracked19 priced from its own checkout28 figures I have taken back

Everything above is my judgement, and a rating does not need a receipt. Prices are a different matter. Most of the figures on this site come from third-party pages, 19 platforms has had its checkout opened by me, and 28 numbers I published turned out to be wrong and came down. Every review states which of the three it is holding. The data page states it for all 38 at once, and the corrections page lists every retraction with what it claimed and what would bring it back.

If that was not your question
