Chaturbate: Best Sex Cam Site

Chaturbate Review updated on August 4, 2021, by Live Cam Reviews.

Review summary

This is one of the most popular webcam sites today offering totally free live sex chat options. And also the 2018 LAL EXPO Award Winner for Best Tipping Cam Site, 2019 Best North American Adult Cam Site, 2020 Best Overall Cam Site, and 2021 Best American Live Cams.

Is Chaturbate really a free live porn site?

Yes, the public live sex cam shows with everything from live strip cams to dildo camera porn are totally free to watch for members and non-members.

It’s probably the most free sex cam site you’ll find on the net today which is the main reason for its popularity. And when I say “free”, I mean it. You don’t even need to log in or enter any credit card details to enjoy these 100% free sex video chats. In fact, you don’t even need to give your email address. Just enjoy fun, live sex shows with horny girls, couples, guys, and transgender who love being exhibitionists.

How to Chaturbate?

• Go to the Chaturbate homepage – Using your computer or mobile (Chaturbate mobile version works as great as the desktop version)
• The homepage displays the ‘Featured’ models online at that moment with a recent screenshot from inside the chatrooms
• You can also click on the tabs ‘Female’, ‘Male’, ‘Couple’, ‘Trans’s and ‘Spy Show’ (only for members) to filter the homepage
• Click on any chatroom to enter and start watching free live cam sex
• Inside the chatroom, you can scroll down to read the models bio and watch images and videos that they have uploaded (sometimes you need to pay with tokens to unlock this content)
• When watching a show you can use the default mode, Theater mode, or an interactive fullscreen mode (members can also use Airplay and Android casting to watch it on your big-screen TV at home)
• To the right, you have the chat where you can follow the visitor’s interaction with the model, see when she gets tips, look at her tip menu, etc
• Once you have signup as a free member, you can click on the ‘Follow’ button that you see to the right and get notifications when your favorite models get online
• If you want to take part in the show and interact with the model you need to be a member and top up your account with tokens. More about that further down in this review
• In the chat section, you can click on the ‘PM’ tab to interact with the models privately. Using private messaging is the best way to ask about private one-on-one shows

The fastest-growing free live sex chat webcam site

I first learned about the site on an online message board teaching guys how to flirt with the opposite sex. Personally, I don’t believe that “chaturbating” has anything to do with online dating sites. However, you do have to admit that the idea of 100% free adult webcams sounds almost too good to be true.

Before I wrote this Chaturbate review I was researching the site by “spying” and chatting with nearly a dozen sexy webcam models. I’ve come to the conclusion that this live sex cam site really does go that extra mile in terms of both user experience and non-committal webcam chat.

Thousands of free live sex cams

As soon as you land on their homepage you have thousands of models online in front of you and all you need to do is click on the model’s thumbnail to start watching live porn.

These free live cam shows often have thousands of viewers at the same time, with people sending tips to the models. Usually, they set different goals or have a tip menu that tells what they will do when they get a certain amount of tokens or reach a total amount.

Watch public porn cam shows for free with no account

But to unlock all the site features and to be able to interact more with the models through messaging or by sending tips you need first to signup for a free Chaturbate account.

They also offer one of the cheapest minute rates for private live cam shows, the minute rates for one-on-one shows with a model start from about $0.60/min.

Free live cams, private shows & tip

The models make their earnings from tips that they get during the free live cam shows and also in one on one private sex shows.

Below you see the three different money-making strategies that models often will use.

The totally free sex shows

Here the visitors have the option of sending a tip to the model while requesting the model to perform certain sex acts. In most public Chaturbate rooms you will see a tip menu that the model has created with her willingness to perform specific acts and the number of tokens it will cost.

Models that manage to get enough viewers or big spenders can earn enough money on those that tip her during the free shows.

Most broadcasters also set goals for the tip. For example, it could be that when the room reaches a certain amount of total tip, she will do anal, do a squirting show, spank herself, take her cloth off, striptease, etc.

Chaturbate private one-on-one live cam shows

The second strategy is to start a public show in which the model teases the visitors in hopes of convincing someone to take her into a private show.

Each model sets its own pay-per-minute rate starting from 6 tokens per minute. By scrolling down on the Chaturbate homepage, you find categories for locating price-specific models. 6 tokens per minute translate into about $0.60 and that is one of the lowest prices for a private webcam show on the market today.

Why pay for a private show, when I can watch the free cams? During a private, it’s only you and the model in the room and you can interact with no disturbance from other users. This is also the best place to have your deepest sexual cam fantasies fulfilled. Best way to find the right model for you, especially if you want a particular fantasy fulfilled.

Find a broadcaster you like and enter the free chatroom, use direct messaging to communicate with the model, and ask about what they offer during a private sex cam show. Maybe you have a fetish for girl’s feet and want a Chaturbate feet cam show, then first make sure that the model is into the same sexual fetishes as you.

During a private show, you also have the option to turn on your own webcam in a live sex cam to cam experience. This is really a great feature that takes the experience of a live sex cam show to the next level.

The crazy ticket shows – group shows

The third way that seems to work really well is the group shows also known as Crazy tickets shows. Here you can buy a ticket for a live show which is much cheaper than entering a private one-on-one show. But you’ll be watching it together with all the other viewers that also bought tickets.

Crazy ticket shows are found in the free chatrooms where the models interact and tease the viewers to buy tickets for their crazy ticket shows. The ticket prices are set by the models but are usually cheap to buy and often they also give away free tickets to the viewers that have already sent tips during the free show.

You buy the Crazy tickets by using the tokens that you have in your account, just send the amount they are asking for in the chat and you have your ticket.

Model categories – Choose from thousands of models online

There are literally thousands of broadcasters online girls, boys, males, gays, milf, lesbians, couples, and transsexuals.

You can quickly sort the models by tags such as #BBW, #BDSM, #Asian, #Anal, #Ebony, #Feet, #Fetish, #Latina, #Mature, #Mistress, #Bigboobs, #Squirt, #Pantyhose, #Daddy and many more.

There’s also an advanced search option where you can search by model name, geographic location, and HD cams, and more.

Featured Cams

This is the starting page of the site that shows the most popular live sex chat cams at the moment and updates every few minutes with fresh screenshots from inside the chatrooms.

The featured page shows models in all categories and it’s the best place to start if you want to get started with watching live sex for free.

Underneath each screenshot, they display the model’s name, what they like, how long they have been online, and how many viewers they currently have.

Female cams

If it’s only girls that you are interested in click on the ‘Female’ link to filter the page down to only show all the webcam girls that are online at the moment. At any time of the day, there are always 2000+ girls here online and you will also find some lesbian couples too.

There’s always a great mix of female webcam broadcasters online offering free sex chat, you find everything from young girls to hot and sexy matures. Single girls like to play with sex toys and especially the Lovense that you can control by sending her tip.

Trans cams

The Chaturbate trans section has hundreds of transgender broadcasters online at any time of the day offering free live cam porn and private cam to cam shows.

Same as at most top trans cam websites you find performers from all over the world so you can expect to find Asian ladyboys from Thailand, Ebony TS, Brazilian Trans, and a whole lot more.

The trans section is filled with hot sexy “girls” who often have big fake boobs and a hard cock. Transgender live cams have grown tremendously over the last few years and are today one of the most popular sections at many cam sites.

Many of the transgender models perform on their own, but you can also find couples here both ts-on-ts couples and transsexuals with boys.

Couple cams

The couples section lets you find real-life couples that love to show you what’s going on in their bedroom. It’s a relatively small category but you’ll find some great shows.

I’m still amazed that you can actually watch these couples live for free! Watch these couples have sex, give blowjobs, lick pussy, and dildo each other with sex toys with the option to send them a tip.

Male cams

The Chaturbate male section doesn’t only offer gay cam chat, it’s a mix of straight male and gay guys that attracts both male and female visitors.

With 1000+ male performers online there’s always a great mix of models, you’ll find everything from young muscular guys to mature male models.

The guys often jerk off in front of their webcams, perform a gay dildo cam show, and now many of them also use the interactive sex toy Lovense that you can control the vibration of by sending the tip.

Chaturbate broadcasters from all over the world

Being a free sex cam site, I was pleasantly surprised to find over 4000+ chat hosts online. The cam models are true exhibitionists. These ‘sex broadcasters’ are filmed off-the-cuff with no rehearsing.

I find it fascinating that adult cammers are not only willing to expose their personal lives for the world to see, but most of them actually seem to genuinely love doing it!

There is a great mix of broadcasters from all over the world

Ebony Chaturbate webcam models

The ebony section has grown the last year and nowadays you can find up to 200+ ebony cams online at most hours of the day.

There are not so many male models here, most of the ebony models are female cams broadcasting from around the world. If you like dark black skin, big butts, and big boobs then this section of the site will not disappoint you.

Latina live sex chat

If girls from South America are your thing? Then you will enjoy your time here. The Latina Chatubate section has almost always the most amount of models online and often you find threesome live porn shows here, with one girl and two guys at the same time.

The site is really popular in South America and there’s a great selection of young hot girls from Colombia broadcasting free live porn shows.

Russian sex chat girls

You can find real hot Russian camgirls here and also many couples from Russia. The Russian camgirls are often very fit and with beautiful fit bodies and like to really put on good real live porn shows for their visitors.

For some reason many of the couple’s cams are Russian, looking like real-life couples that want to make money from broadcasting their sex life live to the world in sexy hot live porn shows for free or in low-priced Crazy Ticket shows.

Learn more about the models in their profiles

Each model has her own profile page with a “Bio” section where you can find out about her age, location, interest, spoken languages, and body type.

This is where you can learn more about the model and what to expect from her live shows. Often here they also write down the rules of the room and give credits to their top tippers by displaying a top 10 list with the users that have sent the most tip to the chatroom.

Images and pre-recorded videos

There’s also a section with pictures and videos that the broadcaster has uploaded to their profile page. Sometimes this content is free but more often you need to pay with your Chatubate Tokens to unlock the videos and images.

Become a fan of your favorite model

As a member, you can follow your favorite models and get updates when they are online.

To really understand how big this site has become you can just take a look at some of the most popular model’s fan base. There are broadcasters here with over 1 million followers and some of the more popular models can have over 20,000+ viewers watching their free shows.

Keep in touch with the models through social media

Many of the models also interact with their fans and viewers through social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat.

Getting added to a model’s social media accounts you often have to pay a one-time fee, which is set by the models. But then you can follow the model’s updated with all their latest sexy stories, images, and videos.

Chaturbate mobile – Watch live porn on your phone

You can enjoy live cam porn on your mobile with the Chaturbate mobile version. The site switches automatically to the mobile when you are using a phone to access the site, you can watch your live xxx cam porn from your iPhone or Android mobile.

Exhibitionists cams

The exhibitionist cam feature is exclusive to Chaturbate. The chatrooms marked with “Exhibitionist” are true amateur cams where they do not charge any tokens at all. In fact, there’s no option to even tip the model.

You’ll find a mix of models but the majority are guys jerking off in front of their webcams. In this section, there are usually around 200-300 models online at the same time.

Find all the exhibitionist cams by scrolling down to the bottom of the homepage where you can filter the page down to only showing the exhibitionist cams.

Webcams for women – A great site for women looking for muscular straight male cams

It is a market that has started to take off in the last couple of years. It hasn’t always been so easy to find webcams for women, and many cam sites haven’t really paid any attention to this growing market. But now the girls have a great site to watch male models that are not only marketed towards gay visitors, which is the case at most cam sites.

A high number of the male models, you find here are actually straight guys looking to pleasure women with their live sex chats. So Chaturbate is by far the best site when it comes to girls wanting to watch live shows with muscular male video chat models.

Special site features

Besides the free live video chat and Broadcast Yourself options, there’s nothing that really stands out as being “unique” about the platform or live chat experience. Sometimes simpler is better. And in the case of Chaturbate, everything seems to work exactly as it should.

Broadcast yourself – Learn how to make money with your own live cam shows

In this section, I talk briefly about how to become a Chaturbate cam model and broadcast your own webcam to make money online. For more in-depth details, please read our camming job article – how to make money on Chaturbate.

If you’re interested in adult camming, then this is the perfect site to get started with for a couple of reasons. It’s one of the most popular cam sites with thousands of viewers watching many of the popular model’s public shows. It’s also one of the easiest sites to get started. All you need to do is sign up for a free broadcaster account. It’s totally free and you’ll only need a high-speed internet connection, a computer (Mac or PC) and a webcam.

Once your account has been created and you got your model login set to ‘Exhibitionist’ status, this means that you can now broadcast yourself live. But you can’t yet earn any tokens for your shows. The next step is to follow their age verification guide, where you need to upload a copy of your ID or Passport to verify that you’re 18. Once your age verification has been approved your account will be changed to the ‘Chaturbating’ status which allows you to start earning tokens for your show, sell private pics, videos and start to build your own fan club.

How much do you earn from each Token?

Each Chaturbate Token that you receive when users send you a tip is worth $0.05, So for every 20 Tokens that you get, you earn $1. CB offers payouts twice a month with the option to get paid by bank wire, check, First choice, Paxum, and direct deposit.

Each month they also give away $11,000 in prize money! Chaturbate awards the most popular rooms each hour where the top cam gets $10.00 and the second most popular cam gets $5.00. Instead of giving away just one big monthly bonus to one model, they spread it and give it by the hour so more models can get a part of the bonus system. How to become the most popular cam? With a scoring system that gives you points per minute depending on how many viewers you have.

At Chaturbate you’re in total control of your own chatroom and you set your own rules for your chatroom. They also allow you to control who can visit your room and who can see your profile. You can also choose to block visitors from a certain country. You can customize your chatroom to make it more personal with a wide range of different Chaturbate Apps.

Conclusion

After writing this Chaturbate review I can honestly tell you why it’s one of the very best adult webcam sites. Is Chaturbate free? Yes, you can watch live cam sex totally for free, from your computer or phone and you can also register for a free account and get access to more site features like sending DM, take part in live chat conversations, etc.

If you are looking for private one-on-one live cam shows? The minute rates are one of the lowest on the market today, with a great selection (4000+ online) of sexy girls, boys, and transsexuals to choose from.

The video quality will vary from cam to cam but if you fancy the idea of real webcam exhibitionism and real-life amateurs, then I’m confident you’ll enjoy your time at Chaturbate.
