Bottom Line

Chaturbate is the place to be if you want to interact with hundreds of camgirls and couples - and you never have to pay a dime. Yes, that's right, this live cam site is 100% free! Sexy performers are online 24/7 and getting tips from other users, so the girls are often naked and doing something sexual. If you want to get in on the action, create an account and buy some tokens to tip them yourself. Private shows are also available, but they can get expensive. No matter because you’ll have an equally great time checking out all the free live cams.

My Full Chaturbate Review

Site Overview

Chaturbate is one of the best cam sites that's free, which is why it's also among the most popular cam sites and one of my all-time favorites. It probably has something to do with the hundreds of amateur girls online from all walks of life. But more than likely, the real draw is that you can connect with this diverse selection of cam girls for free.

Yes, that's right. You can enjoy a completely free chat. But if you're a serious fan of cams and want an optimal experience, you're going to want to contribute your fair share of tips to keep the chat rooms sexy.

Community

So how does Chaturbate work? I can tell you the setup is a bit different from other cam sites (see my RabbitsCams review as an example) and it really brings together fans and performers in a way that few competitors manage. Its free chat rooms offer more than just a tease that's trying to entice you into shelling out cash for private chats.

When you enter a performer's room, there's a good chance she'll already be naked. She'll also likely be masturbating. In fact, some cam models are giving blowjobs, riding cocks, or enjoying lesbian sex. The point of providing such explicit adult content for free is to earn tips from viewers.

Support and Performer Transparency

Another thing that sets Chaturbate apart from many other sites (check out my XLoveCam review for comparison) is the transparency when it comes to the performer experience. While some cam sites funnel viewers to a different support experience than potential models, Chaturbate's customer support section is aimed at both types of users.

Performer guides are displayed more prominently on the Chaturbate website, too. While other sites attract mostly pros, amateurs are not only welcomed but also encouraged to perform on this platform. I think it creates a stronger sense of community because, of course, everyday folks can be a model, too, which her own shows. You could even give it a try yourself.

I also appreciate that the Chaturbate website provides other forms of community support for users and models. You'll see links for mental and sexual health, general health and wellness, and more.

Signing Up

Creating an Account

If you want to get in on the fun, you'll want to create an account. The best part? You don't even need to hand over your email or credit card! You can either create an anonymous account with a username and password or sign up via your Google account. The only other things you must supply are your birthday for age verification and whether you're a man, a woman, a couple, or a trans person.

Adding Credits

Like many other sites (see my Camingle review), you have multiple ways to add credits to your account:

  • Credit/Debit Card (Visa/Mastercard/Discover)

  • PayPal

  • Cryptocurrency

  • Paysafe Card

  • Wire Transfer

You can also earn credits by getting your friends to join the Chaturbate website. They provide a referral link for your pals to sign up either as a user, which earns you up to 10 tokens, or as a broadcaster, which will potentially get you 500 tokens. Just keep in mind that broadcasters must earn $20 USD before earning you your referral bonus.

Below are the current Chaturbate token bundles (all prices are in USD). As is common with many cam sites (ImLive review is a good example), the more tokens you buy, the more free tokens you get as a bonus.

  • 50 tokens for $5.99

  • 100 tokens for $10.99

  • 200 tokens for $20.99 (5% Bonus)

  • 400 tokens for $39.99 (10% Bonus)

  • 550 tokens for $49.99 (21% Bonus)

  • 750 tokens for $62.99 (32% Bonus)

  • 1000 tokens for $79.99 (37% Bonus)

You can also become a Chaturbate Supporter for $19.95/month and it will earn you 200 credits as a one-time signing bonus. Otherwise, it comes with the ability to DM other users, removes ads from the members' area, and gives you access to special chat features, like changing the font, font color, and custom emoticons. You can also take advantage of private messaging with other customers and performers.

One quick note about tokens: Never buy into those free token generators that you may see being pushed by some less-than-reputable forums and websites promoting cams. There are a few that exist, but all of them are BS. They'll install malicious software on your computer and will likely result in you being permanently locked out of your Chaturbate account.

Cam Models Overview

Types and Variety

Teens? MILFs? I could list so many examples. You can also find guys and transgirls and even a Mistress if that's your thing. The point I'm trying to hammer home here is that you'll see models with all kinds of body types and breast sizes, as well as local performers and women from other countries. There are Asians, Latinas, Black girls, Middle Eastern babes, and other ethnicities.

Finding your ideal model is easy because they've got tons of tags to help you out. The most popular ones appear prominently above the thumbs. There's also a search engine that will suggest various tags as you type your query.

One thing I should mention that sets Chaturbate apart is that many of the models are amateurs. It's not that you'll never come across pros because there is a Pornstar tag. But professionals who treat camming like a full-time job probably find Chaturbate's freemium model less lucrative than the setups on premium sites (my LiveJasmin review comes to mind).

Performer Profiles

Check out a performer's profile page to get to know her better before you chat. For example, I found out that one of my favorite models loves superhero movies and used to belong to her school's chess club. So right off the bat, I knew we had things in common and probably shared some of the same experiences.

Then I discovered her tip menu and realized if I tipped 50 tokens she'd flash her boobs. And that was just the tit of the iceberg, I mean tip! She was down to clown in all kinds of ways to earn those tips. While some cam girls provide more details than others, it's always worth checking out the cam model profiles.

In some cases, a model posts free photos and videos to her profile, including some explicit images, but sometimes you'll come across locked content. It turns out that some of your favorite girls also have fan clubs, which usually cost around $20/month.

Joining a fan club brings you all kinds of fun things, like links to the girl's private Snapchat, Instagram, and other social media. Many cam girls also have extras for their fans. For example, one babe I checked out had a free boob-flashing photo accessible to everyone, but another thumb labeled 'squirting with dildo' was only available to her fan club members.

Besides individual profiles for the cam girls, you can also check out the official X page for the Chaturbate website. It will give you general announcements about the newest hot models on the site and any special events, like contests and Chaturbate offers.

Show Types

Free Shows

As I explained earlier in this Chaturbate review, the site's business model is a bit different than on other live cam sites. Chaturbate webcam models put on memorable and sexy free shows to entice you and other viewers, while the action on other free cam sites barely qualifies as adult entertainment. Seeing sex for free and seeing a flash of boobs for free are totally different experiences.

Private Shows

Private shows on Chaturbate tend to cost some serious cash even by premium cam site standards. They range from 90 tokens/minute to 240 or more tokens/minute, and Chaturbate models can set minimum cam session lengths for their own chats.

While some performers will let you chat for as little as 10 minutes, others insist on closer to 30. And that can add up fast! Considering what your average cam model will do in the free chat rooms, you can bet these webcam models pull out all the stops for their private chats. In many cases, you can increase intimacy by going cam2cam.

Another neat feature is that a model can allow her performance to be recorded and you'll receive a copy of the recorded show afterward. Models can always disable this option, though. So pay attention before you enter a private show because they always make it clear whether recordings are allowed.

Spy Shows

If the private chats on this sex cam site feel a bit too rich for your blood, you can always spy on someone else's private show. The Chaturbate website makes it easy to isolate the models who already have a live show in progress. You can then spy on the conversation for rates that are considerably lower than going private.

I checked out a few and saw some that were as low as 30 tokens/minute. I'm sure you can find even better bargains. In addition to saving money, some folks may get off on the idea of playing the voyeur. And I bet some of those being watched get excited by the exhibitionist aspect of their interaction.

Group Chats

As mentioned a few times in this Chaturbate review, when it comes to making money, pretty much every cam girl on this site relies on the tips they get from free group sessions. Unlike many other cam sites, you can get quite an eyeful for free. But that doesn't mean you should expect a completely free ride the whole time.

Chatting and Tipping

When it comes to chatting with the most popular performers, they will ignore you if you never tip. After all, they're usually dealing with many users at once, so it's easy for them to overlook the freeloaders when interacting with the other customers who are spending good money to get their attention.

Creating a free account is the first step and then when you purchase tokens you can earn extra free tokens as a bonus with some of the bigger packages. When it comes time to spend tokens, you are always in control.

While a model's tip menu may tell you what you'll get for tipping her, you can also tip her as a sign of appreciation without any specific expectation. That will really earn you some appreciation. Of course, tipping is also a way of contributing to group show goals. Besides a model doing something special based on her combined tips, your fellow users will feel like you're pulling your own weight. It will help you bond with the rest of the chat room as an active participant instead of just lurking.

User Interaction

If you're wondering what joy your tips might bring, it is enhanced user interaction with the model. You see, 'Chaturbate reviews and screens various apps to help performers enhance the live show experience. They make them available for free download.

In many instances, the apps make it easier for a model to create practical tools like a tip menu and counter, and a multigoal show. However, many of the apps will allow models to gamify their group interactions which makes a performance more engaging.

For example, you've got various games where tippers can spin wheels to win prizes, which generally consist of various sexy acts the model will perform for the chat room. They also have more than one Lovense-compatible app, so the performers can set up their interactive adult toys to be activated by tips.

Private Messaging

You can always send your favorite performers a private message even when they're not online. But you will need to have signed up as a Chaturbate Supporter. As I stated earlier in this Chaturbate review, this premium membership option costs $20/month. It will bring you a one-time bonus of 200 free tokens and some custom chat options.

Supporters can also private message other Supporters. While being able to contact other users may not be interesting to everyone, it does afford people the chance to bond over their shared interest in cams which adds to the overall sense of community.

Quality of Content

Video Quality

If you've visited more than a site or two, you already know that the video quality can vary a lot. But you can usually count on HD cams pretty much across the board on Chaturbate. I'm sure you can even track down some 4K webcams, although I had little luck finding any active cams with that tag. Of course, what counts just as much as the resolution is how smooth the streams are. After all, many of us access cams on our phones, so on a small screen, whether a stream is true HD or not is less crucial.

On Chaturbate, you can count on seamless feeds without choppiness or any weird audio delays which is great news because the only thing more annoying than jetlag is cam lag. After all, both can lead to falling asleep mid-conversation.

Content Variety

I think the secret to building a top live cam site like Chaturbate is similar to what makes any popular adult site appealing to a broad fan base. Besides needing diverse models, a successful cam site needs to have live shows that cover all kinds of niches.

You can explore all kinds of action and fetishes on Chaturbate including, among others, big tits, hairy pussy, glasses, Findom, braces, strap-ons, and fuck machines. Also, while the thumbs remain static (rather than dynamic previews of the live feeds), they do give you a snapshot of what's happening inside the live shows. The models also write brief greetings.

You might notice that many of the girls have pink toys sticking out of their pussy. It's called teledildonics, or smart sex toys. So every time you tip her, the toy vibrates. The higher the tip, the stronger the vibration! I've seen girls orgasm and shake like crazy because people were continuously tipping them. It's one of the more exciting things you can do with your tokens.

What sets Chaturbate apart from other adult chat sites?

The main thing that makes Chaturbate different from other sites is that free cams are its main focus rather than merely a tool to promote premium cam shows. You could refer to it as a freemium cam site but unlike some other sites with that kind of setup, free users will truly feel like they're getting the full experience.

Users can even create an anonymous, clean account without ever having to provide an email or payment details. Obviously, even if you can get more than an eyeful for free, you'll want to show your favorite girls some appreciation by getting Chaturbate tokens for tipping and private cam shows. But it's entirely optional, although some models may ignore you if you never contribute tips to their chat rooms.

Are there any limitations or restrictions on Chaturbate?

Before performing or participating on Chaturbate, it might be worthwhile to review their Terms Of Service for a complete rundown of all their policies. Before you go over all the small print, I can tell you the main things to keep in mind:

  • Never use abusive language, including any form of hate speech, while chatting or performing on live cam.

  • Harassing other users or models for any reason is prohibited. Causing any issues for others may lead to you being banned (and you may lose access to any banked tokens).

  • Models are forbidden to appear intoxicated on cam due to (legal or illegal) drug or alcohol use.

  • Never consume drugs on cam regardless of their legality in your location (like medical marijuana).

  • Avoid performing on camera in public areas where your webcam may capture other people without their express permission.

Final Thoughts

Chaturbate is the place to be if you want to interact with hundreds of cam performers including girls, guys, trans babes, and couples. And you never have to pay a dime. This live cam site is 100% free! Favorite performers and new models are online 24/7 performing for your tips, so often you'll come across free nudity and sex acts.

You can create an anonymous account, but, of course, no one wants to be a freeloader. So you're going to want to get in on the action and you've got lots of safe payment options to purchase your tokens. Many babes have extensive tip menus so you can see what your tips will bring you.

Going private can get expensive, but you can save cash by spying on someone's else private show. You'll have a great time either way, though, even if you stick to the free live cams. It's also worth mentioning that Chaturbate provides all kinds of support if you ever decide to become a model yourself. This makes the entire experience - from viewer to performer - transparent.
