Cam sites have changed the way we think about porn. Traditionally, porn has been pre-recorded. Go to any of the big “Tube” sites, and you’ll find enough of these pre-recorded videos to jerk off for the next few centuries. I’m not knocking regular porn videos. They have their own benefits. You can jump back and repeat your favorite parts, or skip ahead to the good stuff.
At the same time, there’s no way to participate in the experience. Sure, you’re jerking off; but there’s no connection between you and the performer. A cam site is interactive. Depending on the site, there’s typically a chat room, and you can often tip performers to request specific acts.
So, which sites have the best features and the hottest girls? Here’s a top 10 list.

CamSoda is a freemium site with an insane selection of models. From the moment you land on their home page, you’ll see thumbnails for literally thousands of girls. You won’t have to pay per minute; instead, models earn their money by charging tips. Typically, the model will set a goal for a certain number of tokens. When audience members collectively reach that goal, she’ll perform a certain action. For example, a model might perform a dildo show after reaching 2,000 tokens.
In theory, you can enjoy the show for free without tipping anything. However, free users won’t be able to interact with the model or dictate the course of the action. Free users are also limited to a small-format video, while paid users can watch the show in full-screen. A CamSoda subscription costs $19.95 per month, with additional charges if you want to buy tokens. For a complete pricing breakdown view our full Camsoda Review.

Even if you’ve never visited LiveJasmin, you’ve probably seen some of their ads. This site is famous for its high production values; you won’t find any badly-lit low-res videos. Instead, the models seem to work for professional studios, with crisp video, clear lighting and rich audio.
You won’t find as many models as you will on sites that cater to amateurs, but you still get a diverse selection. There are plenty of stunning babes, along with a smattering of trans girls and gay dudes. No matter what gets you off, you’ll find a model that’s up your alley. LiveJasmin makes this easier with an intuitive interface and easy searchability.
This kind of quality comes with a price. Almost all of LiveJasmin’s models charge by the minute, and you won’t find many free shows. At most, a girl might talking with the audience in free chat with her boobs hanging out. If you want to see any real action, you’ll have to bust out your credit card.

If you don’t want to spend half your paycheck on a cam site, MyFreeCams is a great choice. A lot of the shows are totally free. The main page is an array of thumbnails, and you can mouse over them to get a preview of the action. Most of the models rely on tips, and will set tipping goals for the room to meet. As people tip, the model might remove an item of clothing, or play with a particular sex toy. Obviously tipping will help things along, but you can almost always spectate for free.
MyFreeCams’ free shows have made them one of the most popular cam sites online, but you can also take advantage of group shows and private shows. This means you’ll have to pay, particularly for private shows which can get pricey. Then again, the free shows are often as good as the paid ones, with excellent video quality across the site.

Founded way back in 2011, Chaturbate is one of the more long-standing cam sites, but their interface is far from old-fashioned. They’ve constantly updated over the years, which has led to a highly-polished website that’s easy to search and navigate. You can easily sort models by category, which is helpful considering the large number of chat rooms. The model selection is very diverse; you’ll find girls, trans girls, guys, and all mixes of couples.
Most of the shows fall into two categories. First are interactive toy shows, which are open to the public. You don’t have to pay for these, but you can control the model’s sex toy by tipping. The other shows are either group or private, and you pay a per-minute fee set by the model. These fees can get pretty steep, although you’re also getting some of the hottest content. The billing process is also straightforward; you don’t have to worry about surprise charges appearing on your card later on. If you want more info, check out our Chaturbate Review.
Pros:
Cons:
Streamate is a bit of a mixed bag. On the plus side, it’s undeniably one of the best cam sites for mobile use. The tiled layout is well-suited for navigating on a smartphone, and the large thumbnails are easy to see on a small screen. You also get multiple ways to interact with the models, from free shows with tip-controlled toys to so-called “Gold Shows” where you pay a set fee for a particular experience.
On the other hand, the interface isn’t ideal for desktop, and you have to click a second “back” button to return to the home page after closing a chat room. You’ll also see the odd pop-up ad, which is off-putting in these days of unobtrusive advertising. For anything else you might want to know, check out our Streamate review.

Cons:
ImLive is designed as a pay-per-minute service, so most of the models are behind a paywall. That said, a handful of models are free, and the home page has a preview function so you can peek in on paid shows before you buy. If you’re willing to pay for your porn, you’ll be happy with the straightforward nature of the site. You pay by the minute, and you can get straight to the action if you want to. ImLive also accepts a wide number of payment methods.
The model selection isn’t as wide as a lot of other sites. At any given time, there may be 100-200 models online. On the plus side, there’s a large selection of couples. If you want to engage in some couples play, this is the place to do it. For a full breakdown, read our ImLive review.

Cons:
BongaCams is known for their large selection of free shows. Most of the models use interactive toys or offer prizes to encourage tipping. If you want to spend a few dollars to control the action, you can. Or, you can unzip and enjoy the free show. The downside of this design is that there aren’t a lot of private shows. Most models don’t offer them.
This is a great site if you like models of different genders. Besides a large number of solo girls, there are trans girls, guys, and couples. You can sort them easily with a menu at the top of the screen. The home page has a clean layout, and it’s easy to navigate throughout the site. The only thing I didn’t like was the chat “feature.” As you navigate the site, random cam girls will send you chats from time to time. These messages are all advertising, and they pop up in front of the window while you’re navigating.
Pros:
Cons:
Stripchat was originally designed as a softcore site for stripteases. Instead of hardcore porn, it was conceived as a sort of online strip club. Those day have mostly come and gone. Go to their front page, and you’ll see dildoed pussies, gaping assholes, and all the things you’d expect from a modern porn site. That said, there are still a few holdout models who stop performing when the panties come off. Make sure you know what the model is offering before you send any tips.
The layout is easy to navigate, with a tiled home page and a set of filters on the left menu. You can select different ages, body types, and sex acts. You can also filter between girls, guys, trans girls, and couples. Most of them are amateurs, but they still put on some steaming hot shows.
Pros:
Cons:
On most free cam sites, you have to sort through a lot of amateurs to find the hot professional models. Flirt4Free’s models are almost all professionals. Expect to see lots of high-end lingerie, good lighting, and high-resolution video. The only drawback is that the video quality sometimes seems to exceed Flirt4Free’s capabilities. When the site experiences heavy traffic, videos occasionally hang or lag, but that only happens once in a while.
The site is easy to navigate, with lots of free content available. While the shows are free, models always appreciate tips, and a lot of the shows have tip-based goals. Besides simple tips, you can also send digital treasure chests and other goodies. Yeah, it’s all tipping at the end of the day. But the virtual gifts are a fun added touch.
Pros:
Cons:
Jerkmate is a little bit of an oddball. Most cam sites are geared towards group shows, where the model performs for dozens or even hundreds of people at a time; private shows are typically a secondary feature. Jerkmate is the exact opposite. Most of the site is geared towards matching you one-on-one with a particular model. There’s even an advanced algorithm. You tell Jerkmate what you find attractive, and it will match you with a suitable model.
When you’re in a chat, you can set up your own webcam and play along. Different models offer different services and cater to different fetishes. Jerkmate also pays major porn stars to record pre-set clips for interactive shows. You can get a sample of this feature on the free site, but you’ll have to pay for an account to get full access.
A lot of Jerkmate’s design is based on the idea that you’ll follow two or three models instead of hopping around a lot. Most models save pre-recorded videos and make them available for a fee, so you can catch up with them when they’re not online.
Pros:
Cons:
As you can see, finding a good cam site isn’t all that difficult. If anything, it’s the opposite. There are so many excellent sites, it can be tough to decide which one to blow your load to. Take a look at what makes each site unique, and choose one that gets you off.
