The Cheapest Cam Sites For Private Video Chat
Low cost doesn't necessarily mean low-quality and that's certainly the case at these cam sites. While they have some of the cheapest private cam rates around, they also feature some of the hottest models, HD, HD 4K and even VR (virtual reality) live shows and a range of niche categories for those looking for a webcam video chat with a twist or two. And, if that's not enough, some even throw in free videos, free shows and free credits/tokens that can turn cheap into no cost at all.
From giveaways to negotiating a price, promos and discount codes - make sure you're paying the lowest rate possible at these top 5 budget cam sites.

All of the above sites feature some of the lowest entry level pricing for private cam sessions, that's not to say that all their 1on1 rates are low. Prices can vary depending on the skill and appearance of the model, the streaming quality they use and if they specialize in a particular proclivity. However, apart from Chaturbate, which focuses on not only every-day low costs but also is famed for its plethora of free shows, they all have a range of features that can cut your costs even lower - you just need to know how to find them and in a moment you will.
The freemium sites, CamSoda, Stripchat and Chaturbate, all have free open live cam rooms where the models hangout in their all-together and perform all types of acts for either no money at all, or for tips. The premium sites, Flirt4Free and ImLive, keep the good stuff for paid-for performances only, and both offer a variety of shows (one-on-one and multi-viewer modes) at varying costs which are always much cheaper than private cam sessions.
Pricing Options
At each site you have to first purchase credits/tokens to use for tipping the models in their free chat rooms or on private live chat with them. The larger the bundle of credits/tokens you purchase, the cheaper the individual cost becomes. Many of the sites will also throw in additional credits/tokens to encourage you to purchase bigger packages. It's recommended to buy as large a package as you can, which ultimately reduces your rates by a significant amount.
If you're looking for a c2c chat session with a stunning model, bear in mind, some platforms add a surcharge for this. At Flirt4Free and Imlive, c2c is included in all rates, while at the CamSoda, Stripchat and Chaturbate, models have the option to increase their per minute rates if you want to open your webcam. Not all cam hosts charge extra though if you want to use your webcam. The only way to find out if it's going to cost more is to go into the performer's chat room, select the link to start a private show and see what rates are listed before you actually enter a paid-for cam session.
If you want to start a 2-way cam session using your smartphone or table, CamSoda is currently the only one of the five low-cost cam options that has mobile c2c capabilities.
Models, Streaming Quality & Specialty Shows
All the sites feature models covering every appearance, body type, age, ethnicity and skill level, as well as streaming qualities that can vary between low-res SD and HD plus (1080p). Chaturbate has a few HD 4K rooms that are surprisingly affordable and Stripchat even offers Virtual Reality (VR) enabled cam rooms which aren't necessarily more expensive than other rooms (though you do need a VR headset to enjoy the full benefits). All of the 5 platforms have rooms that specialize in a variety of niche genres ranging from doms and subs to feet, rope-play and acts involving toys and machines.

Many of the models appear on several sites and their rates can vary depending on the policy of the platform. So, if you find a cam model that has everything you're looking for in as much as she (or he) is into the same type of acts, ticks every box on your look-list, and has the optimum streaming quality for your bandwidth, then it's worth checking a few sites to see which they perform on and how much they charge at each platform. You may just find them hosting private shows at a cheaper rate on a different site.
