Chaturbate is one of the largest freemium webcam platforms around. It features thousands of models streaming from all across the globe ranging from first-time performers to major-name celebrity webcam stars. Chaturbate's biggest draw is the huge amount of free shows taking place in the open chat rooms.
Chaturbate as a Platform
Chaturbate is very much a platform for cammers streaming from their homes. As such, many of the broadcasts are in SD. On the other hand, it also features a few retired live action video stars and the occasional major name performer who host private shows in not just HD plus, but 4K. Chaturbate is not particularly cam-to- cam friendly, as the site makes it a slog to set up a C2C show. In addition, a significant percentage of Chaturbate models prefer to stay in their public domains and won't entertain in private closed performances for just one viewer.
The Models on Chaturbate
Models on the site cover every age, ethnicity, gender and appearance. Most are committed exhibitionists who use all type of toys, machines and accessories in the private and open shows. It also has a large selection of rooms with more than one performer.
Almost all the hosts speak some level of English, with many bi and tri-lingual covering every major language. The majority of the performers originate from the US, Europe, Russia, Asia and Latin America.
The Chat Types
Free Chat
Entry to the chat rooms is free for all viewers, with most hosts showing it all without inhibition. Specific requests are normally carried out by the performers for a set fee rate. Many rooms feature menus indicating the tip cost for a variety of the most commonly requested acts.
Private Chat
Not all rooms allow Private Chat shows, with many preferring to perform for tips in their public lounges. Those that do offer 1on1 sessions charge around 30 tokens a minute. C2C is a less popular option on this platform. In order to use your webcam you must first create a 'broadcaster' profile, which can be quite a cumbersome task.
Spy Show
Spy Shows allow viewers to watch an ongoing Private Chat session. These are purely voyeuristic options as you cannot interact or message the performer. Prices for these shows are comparable to the room's rate for a Private Chat session.

Customer Loyalty Program
There is no customer loyalty program at Chaturbate. They do have a paid-for premium membership package costing $19.95 a month which gives benefits such as an ad-free interface and the ability to send performers private messages.
Customer Support
Customer support facilities are limited. There is a selection of FAQs covering most major queries, as well as an email address for questions not covered in the FAQs. Currently there is no 24/7 online live chat support or contact number.
Conclusion
Chaturbate is the leading platform for free shows. Private chat prices, where offered, can be expensive and webcam to webcam is often not available, and when it is, it's difficult to enter. However, with such an enormous range of models performing for their pleasure, chances are that whatever you're looking for is taking place in the open and won't cost a penny. A more intimate experience is somewhat harder to find.
