Cams.com Review
Founded in 1999, Cams.com has become one of the most recognizable live adult video chat sites online. Over the past decade, they have expanded the types of shows they offer as well as their stable of web cam performers. Today, they cater to an ever-growing menu of sexual tastes and preferences. In this review, we’ll provide an all-inclusive tour of Cams.com. We’ll cover their account features, the types of shows they offer, and their pricing structure for the various performances and services.
Overview Of Account Features
First, it’s important to note that creating a Guest or Basic membership account at Cams.com is absolutely free. With your free account, you’ll be able to view each performer’s public photo gallery and personal biography. You can also view pictures from live cam still shots and participate in live chat sessions with the performers, though the chats are non-nude.
Once you fund your account (we’ll explain the details below), you’ll be able to join live chats with nude performers as well as enjoy private chats. You can also view over 5,000 hours of prerecorded live cam performances.
If you’re new to Cams.com and are concerned about spending your money on shows or performers that you won’t enjoy, you can visit their “Top Recorded Shows” section. You’ll be able to see which performers and shows other members have enjoyed in the past. Plus, most of the models record some of their shows so you can access them over and over (there’s a small fee for doing so).
The live shows are entirely interactive. You’ll be able to direct the model (or models) to perform according to your preferences. However, certain performers may be unwilling to respond to some of your directions; while every model will likely be willing to strip, some will not respond to fetish requests.
Types Of Live Shows Available
Cams.com has organized their performers and shows according to ten different categories. You can select from gay, lesbian, and straight couples as well as gay and straight solo performers (guys and girls). There are also categories devoted to voluptuous women, mature performers, and transgender models.
There are 5 different show types. “Free Chat” sessions are non-nude and open to everyone. “Private Chat” sessions follow your direction and close the doors to spectators. A “Nude Chat” is a blend of the two; anything goes, but the chat session is open to other people. Cams.com also has a “Voyeur View” feature. You can observe the video stream of a Private Chat, but you cannot participate.
The last type of show is called “Cam-to-Cam.” You can use your own web cam to show yourself to any performer during a Free Chat, Private Chat, or Nude Chat. The model is the only person who will be able to view your broadcast.
Live Show Pricing Structure
We mentioned that opening an account at Cams.com is completely free. That said, there is a fee for access to the performers. The fees vary based upon the type of show you’re enjoying and the model with whom you’re interacting. We’ve noticed that the live cam show fees range from $1.99 to $5.99 per minute. However, you can watch their archive of prerecorded performances for $.99 per minute.
It seems as if Cams.com has instructed their models to avoid wasting members’ minutes. In other words, if you ask a performer to strip immediately after starting a Private Chat, they’ll usually do so quickly.
Cams.com offers a Premiere Member program. By subscribing, you’ll be charged a small fee. In return, you’ll receive a 10% discount on live video performances. You’ll also be able to email the models, and enjoy a 20% discount on Fan Club videos. We’ll list the pricing structure of the Premiere Member program below:
- A 1-month membership costs $19.90
- A 3-month membership costs $39.90 (or, $13.30 a month)
- A 12-month membership costs $117.90 (or, $9.83 a month)
Summary Of Cams.com
Cams.com has done an impressive job of expanding their stable of sexy performers as well as the type of shows you can enjoy. Their video stream is clear (it streams at 15 frames per second) without patchiness or skipping. Plus, we like the feature that allows you to preview the models before paying for a show. If you’d like to enjoy a private, adult cam adventure with attractive models, visit Cams.com today and open your free account. However, a quick warning: once you get involved, you may find it difficult to tear yourself away.
