Best Mobile Friendly Live Cams
Not every live cam site has a mobile version that's as user-friendly and fun to use as their regular layout. A good mobile-friendly webcam platform needs to have been scaled down so it fits perfectly on the screen of your mobile phone or tablet. It should have all the features of the regular layout, be easily maneuvered by swiping and tapping, and have a steady, clear and uninterrupted live video stream coming through in every room.
We've dug deep into every top webcam platform to see which have the best mobile optimized versions. The following cam sites came out on top. Read on to discover what each site offers when it comes to enjoying some live cam chat on the go, how much a private cam session costs on each and which lets you start a 2-way video chat via you phone or other mobile device.
Desktop Vs Mobile Layout
When reviewing a site's mobile layout we took into account not only how easy it is to use the platform, but just as importantly, how the video feed from the live chat room comes through.
LiveJasmin, ImLive, LivePrivates and Streamate let you look at a show, or a live feed, in a full screen mode both in a horizontal or vertical position. This means it doesn't matter whether you're holding the phone or tablet in a landscape or portrait mode - the video adjusts automatically so it fills the screen.
CamSoda, Stripchat, and Flirt4Free only have the full video view in the horizontal (landscape) mode.
On a desktop you have a much larger screen which means there's room to see the performer, as well as send chat messages. On a mobile, the screen is much smaller, and on many sites, if you want to send a message, the live video feed is almost totally obscured. This obfuscation means you can either watch, or chat, but not both together. However, both LiveJasmin and LivePrivates have a chat box that appears as a transparent overlay on the video so you can message the performer, without cutting off the video. At the other sites, you can still watch the cam action, but if you choose to send a message at the same time, half the screen is then devoted to the messaging box.
Sites Offering Mobile C2C Chat
There are only a few major live chat sites offering webcam to webcam facilities that work on mobile devices - but as it happens, all but one of the platforms listed above are C2C mobile friendly. CamSoda, LiveJasmin, ImLive, Flirt4Free, Stripchat, and LivePrivates are all mobile optimized making it easy and enjoyable to jump into a 2-way video chat session via your phone, table or other device.
Mobile Cam Chat Prices
You don't have to pay any extra for a private video chat on a mobile, compared to a desktop. All rates stay the same regardless on how you're accessing the platform. Some of the sites listed above do charge extra if you want to open your webcam in a show. This surcharge applies both to mobile and desktop usage.
The below table shows the average cost per minute of a private chat session, whether it includes C2C and if the site offers free performances where clothes are optional and you simply tip the host in order for them to fulfill specific requests.

Conclusion
Each of the site's have their own distinct advantages. For example, CamSoda lets you record your private cam sessions and store a copy of the show in your online account where you can access it whenever you want and watch over and over at no extra cost.
LiveJasmin is all about the streaming quality, with most of the rooms using HD feeds. All their models are hand-picked and are at the top of their game in their relevant category.
Flirt4Free may seem expensive at first glance, but their rates include C2C and many of their semi-pro and pro performers offer discount codes that can double the amount of time you get in a private session. You can also negotiate with your chosen cam partner in regards to their rates, with most willing to offer a significant discount if you commit for a certain length of time with them.
ImLive invites legitimate celebrity webcam models onto its platform to perform for their fans. And, this is the only cam site with a request form that you can use to post your fantasy, with the models then having the chance to reply to you.
Stripchat hosts webcam performers that can broadcast their show in virtual reality. Of course, you will need your own VR headset.
LivePrivates hosts the A-list of cam superstars. Their performers aren't just stunning, but also host their live performances from professional designed and lit studio settings providing an ambience of exclusivity.
Streamate may not offer mobile c2c sessions, but what it does provide is a great payment system. At this site, you simply link your Streamate profile to a credit card or PayPal account and at the end of any paid-for session, the fee is deducted from your chosen payment method. This saves time and energy, with no need to pre-stock up on site credits or tokens.
With each site offering differing attractions, the best platform all depends on what's important to you. However, CamSoda is a great place to start. It has a bit of everything. Stunning models, many HD rooms, competitive rates and if you want to be watched as much as you want to watch, it's 2-way video friendly on almost all mobile devices, smartphones and tablets.
