Cams is a premium platform focused on free chat and exclusive 2way video chat sessions. This includes an option for shows that intimately connect the performer and the viewer together via blue-tooth enabled technology which sync the model's toy with the viewer's, enabling a simulated experience felt by both at the same time.
Cams as a Platform
As with most premium sites, hosts remain clothed in their open chat rooms. If you want to do more than just chat with a performer, you'll need to enter a paid-for show. Streaming quality at Cams is high, with almost all rooms using HD or HD+ feeds. And, many models use interactive devices that can be controlled by tips.
The Models on Cams
The hosts appearing at Cams cover every gender, ethnicity, appearance, age and proclivity, with almost all specializing in a variety of niche categories. The majority of the performers are from Europe, the US and Latin America, with a much smaller percentage from Asian, African or Middle Eastern zones. There's also a strong showing of rooms with more than one model of both single and mixed genders.
The Chat Types
Free Chat
You can browse and enter rooms as a non-registered guest, but if you want to chat to the models, you'll need to be logged into the site as a member. Registered users can message the models and tip them in the Free Chat mode, though for more than that you'll need to start a one-on-one chat or enter a paid-for show. Some models will only let members that have tokens in their account message them.
Private Chat
To be the sole focus of a model's attention you'll need to close out the other users and start a Private Chat show. Most models happily take directions and will do everything they can to ensure a great experience. On average, expect to pay around 30 tokens a minute for a private session. Almost all rooms are set-up for c2c sessions, however these rates are higher. Many models use interactive toys and some are set up with the Connexion feature that enables you (or the model) to sync and control the other's pleasure device.
Voyeur Chat
This is the spy mode where you can peek into another user's Private Chat show. You cannot communicate with the model or have any input into the session. It's a pure voyeuristic experience. Rates for this chat mode tend to be comparable with the prices for a Private Chat with the model.
Group Shows
A multi-user option that's slight cheaper per minute than a Private Chat mode. While in a group show, the model can interact with other users who also pay to join the party. As the name suggests, clothes are removed and the model will perform requested acts, though some will ask for an additional tip.

Customer Loyalty Program
There is no program to speak of at Cams. The site does offer two membership programs. One is the Premiere program which costs $19.99 a month and includes benefits such as discounts off private shows and free access to video and photo galleries. The VIP membership is free, but must be requested from the site, and it provides privileges such as 5% off purchases made by check or bank transfer.
Customer Support
There is no online live chat support at Cams. It does however features a comprehensive FAQ section, along with a phone number for questions related to technical or billing issues. Other queries can be sent via a feedback form on the site.
Conclusion
Cams is a great option for those looking for a more interactive chat experience and have the relevant technology (toys) that can be synced with a model's partnering device. HD streaming is site wide with a large and varied selection of models to choose from. Chat rates, however, aren't particularly low, and if you're looking to turn on your own webcam for the model to see you too, then they can get quite high.
