As the online modeling industry expands more and more every single day, we are often asked by the new webcam models which are the best live cam sites to perform on. So, to come to their help, we tried to draw up a top that includes 10 of the best live cam sites in 2017, as equidistantly as possible.
Chaturbate.com is one of the best live cam sites in the world and possibly occupies the first place in terms of traffic (but not revenues). Launched in 2011 in the fremium category, Chaturbate not only duplicated MFC, but also added an extra API for the open-source developers, which allowed the webcam models to release a lot of "games" and automatisms that entertain the audience. Chaturbate became a verb in the English language, to "chaturbate" meaning to masturbate while chatting online. It is also one of the best live cam sites based on tips and not on the minutes spent in private chatrooms and on shows rather than on relationships. Chaturbate.com is preferred by the webcam models that work from home and by many cam studios in Columbia, because the show can compensate for the lack of English language knowledge. Chaturbate produced a small "revolution" in the online modeling industry when it first launched OhMiBod, an interactive toy that supposedly produces pleasure to the webcam model depending on the value and the number of tips received by the model.
MyFreeCams.com (MFC) was the first large-scale fremium site in the best live cam sites list. Launched in 2004, it completely changed the online modeling world by bringing the fremium concept, where multiple users view a show even if only one or some of them pay for it. Most webcam models work on the MFC from home and a high percentage of them combine the webcam model job with the porn star one, selling videos and pictures, access to their private Snapchat and so on. The commission webcam models have is 50% (as it is on most fremium type cam sites). Lately, the average earnings of the cam girls working on MyFreeCams fell under the pressure of new competitors in the fremium niche, such as Chaturbate, FreeWebcams, BongaCams and Stripchat.
Jasmin.com (or LiveJasmin.com) is also topping the best live cam sites chart. Jasmin.com is a site founded in 2001 in Hungary, by
György Gattyán, considered today to be one of the richest men in the world. Gattyan began by developing several cam studios and by working with the platforms of that time, he felt that they did not bring enough quality, shine and that it didn`t bring a TV show with just a drop of eroticism atmosphere, as he wanted. Nowadays, Jasmin is considered one of the best live cam sites in the world in terms of design, putting emphasis on eroticism, glamour, photo and video quality. Having high technical requirements and a demand of high quality webcam models` work, with more than 1000 models online at any moment, it is very difficult for webcam models that work from home or for ones that are beginners to succeed on LiveJasmin, where most top webcam models work in professional glamour cam studios. Jasmin dominates the European market for premium sites and fights with the main competitors in the US: Streamate and Flirt4Free.
Flirt4Free.com (F4F) is the oldest in the best live cam studios sites chart, with over 20 years of experience from its release in 1996. Initially called VideoSecrets, Flirt4Free is today a mixed site that combines premium options with the fremium ones, but if we take a look at the top 20 webcam models of the site, most revenues are premium. Having good prices per minute, between $ 4 and $ 12, F4F starts with a base commission of 25% that can go higher for the top cam studios or webcam models - up to 30%. The site is recommended for the webcam models that have a good command of the English language and want to focus on relationships and not on shows, but it is also recommended for webcam models to work hard in the first 2-3 months to win an audience of fans and that don`t necessarily want big immediate earnings. Flirt4Free is one of the best live cam sites that has a significant amount of very wealthy members, who often spend $ 10,000 every day. Take into consideration the fact that these wealthy members will not chat in private with new webcam models as soon as they appear on the site. 2016 meant for F4F the sixth consecutive year of development and also, the best year in the history of its existence. Moreover, Flirt4Free is the most popular site for male online modeling, with its own dedicated version:

Launched in 1996,
Cams.com (also known in the past as
Streamray.com) is considered a veteran of the online modeling industry sites, alongside Flirt4Free. It is a premium site which for many years occupied the first place in the best live cam sites chart. In 2006 it was sold by the founder of the largest group in the dating world: Friend Finder Network. After several years in which Cams.com has not been a priority for the group, it has made a return in 2016 and 2017 on an ascendant path, having loyal quality members and very good webcam models, specialized in the glamour modeling niche.
Streamate.com is one of the best premium live cam sites since its burst in the US market in 1999. With nearly 1000 webcam models permanently online, mostly American women, Stream has the largest network of integrations (whitelabels) with tube sites and member ones in the world, which helps them provide the webcam models a significant amount of members. Average prices per minute are quite high, between $ 5 and $ 9, but the fee offered to the webcam models is smaller, approximately 35% in the US and 30% for models outside the US. Stream is an excellent option for models that have experience and have a fast start, meaning that can earn good money from the first day, without having to make her own loyal fan base.
FreeWebcams.com is a more newly launched site in our best live cam sites in 2017 list. Created and launched in 2014, it is a fremium, token-based site, which profited from the OhMiBod`s launch and the integration with one of the largest online dating site in the world - CECash, having a diverse traffic, compatible with both relationship oriented webcam models and the show oriented ones. The webcam models` and studios` commission models is 50% and the site continues to grow each year, providing customized solutions upon request and focusing on the continuous improvement of the platform.
Next on my best live cam sites in 2017 list is
Imlive.com. Imlive was launched in 2002 and it has a rich history and premium tradition, with multiple international awards won and top webcam models that have performed for them for years. The site pays a 30% commission to the webcam models and studios, and up to 35% of the models that are first in a certain period, called the Hall of Fame.
BongaCams.com is a site launched in 2014 in Russia, which has stood out through the large number of models from the CIS countries, but also through the maximization of the premium niche, having a large number of couples models and male webcam models, who sometimes offer free shows as a hobby and not a job.
StripChat.com is one of the newest sites in the premium niche, detaching from the online giant called xHamster (initially called xHamster Live). With a number 400-500 models online at any time, Stripchat grew quickly among the best live cam sites and brought some new solutions to the protection of the webcam models against unpleasant visitors, introducing the "Knights" model.
Studio 20 enjoys special and preferential partnerships with all of the best live cam sites such as: Jasmin, Flirt4Free, Streamate, ImLive, Cams and with only one freemium site that encourages glamour online modeling, FreeWebcams. If you want to become a top webcam model on any of these sites, contact Studio 20 for more information.
