How we score cam sites
Five criteria out of 10, equal weights, and every fact dated.
Every platform in our best cam sites ranking gets five scores out of 10. The overall score is their mean, rounded to one decimal. We show it only when all five criteria rest on facts the platform itself publishes.
The five criteria
- Models: catalog size, how many models are live and the variety of categories.
- Features: Cam2Cam, interactive toys, private and exclusive shows, group and ticket shows, VR, recordings and the mobile experience.
- Free viewing: how much you can enjoy before spending anything.
- Value: how far your money goes, from clear rates to discounts and shared shows.
- Ease of use: how quickly you get from landing on the site to a show you love.

Where the facts come from
We read each platform's public pages: model listings and live counts, feature pages, price grids and help centers. Each fact is stored with the page it came from and the date we read it. Prices are shown in US dollars, as a visitor from the United States sees them.
When a platform does not publish a figure, the criterion stays empty and the review says how many of the five criteria we could score. Some reviews also say when we used our own account; we only say so when we did.
Ranking order
Positions one to four reflect our editors' picks, which also take into account which platforms our affiliate partners let us recommend. From position five onward, the order follows the facts and the scores. The affiliate disclosure has the details.
Updates
Prices, show formats and live counts change. When we re-read a platform, the facts and the dates on its pages change with it. If you spot something out of date, tell us and we will check it.
