Top 5 Exclusive Premium Cam Sites for One on One Shows
There are two main types of cam sites. There are freemium cam platforms where the majority of the cam hosts perform for tips in free tip-fueled shows and premium cam platforms. At the latter, most of the action takes place behind a paywall in private cam shows. But this isn't the only difference. At the premium sites all the performers are vetted by the site prior to being allowed to perform, ensuring a high standard across the sites.
Premium sites also tend to be much more user-friendly. The models are all skilled in webcam chat shows and streaming quality is usually HD or even HD plus, with very few rooms at premium cam sites still using SD feeds. You'd think this would mean premium private cam shows are more expensive at these sites compared to the freemium ones. This isn't the case at all. Read on to find out which are the top premium webcam platforms and how to score great deals for some 1on1 cam fun with a leading model at each of them.
LiveJasmin.com
When it comes to premium in every sense, no other site does it better than LiveJasmin. This site has long been regarded as the queen of live cam sites for good reason. Firstly, its models are the top performers in every category. There isn't one model who is anything less than an A+ in her genre. Streaming quality is pretty much HD sitewide. The site's interface is as user-friendly as it gets and although private show prices may seem high, reflective of the quality of the show, you can easily score amazing deals which end up giving you some of the most cost-effective per-minute rates available.
LiveJasmin has over 1,000 premium webcam shows streaming 24/7, all of which feature semi-pro and professional cam models mostly broadcasting from beautiful well-lit themed settings. You can message a performer in their open chat room but this site is ultra-exclusive which means there's no X-rated action taking place until you enter either a low-cost multi-viewer VIP Show or a private show mode. If you're not a registered member, many of the models won't even chat with you, preferring to engage with only users who have taken advantage of the free, quick, and safe sign-up program offered by the site.
If you're looking for a site with bells and whistles, it's not LiveJasmin. This site is all about live video chat sessions with models. The interface is all about helping you quickly and easily find a performer who you want to get to know more intimately. What makes LiveJasmin especially attractive to those looking for the utmost premium cam experience is that several of the models are exclusive to the site. The Exclusive models are the top performers in the business.
Prices are not cut-rate at LiveJasmin. Well not until you take advantage of the ongoing promos offered by the site. For example, on average, a private show comes in at $3.60 a minute, with the cheapest premium webcam rooms offering rates of $1.20 a minute. While these aren't expensive if you don't want to open your webcam or microphone if you do the prices jump. Cam2cam costs an additional $1-2 a minute, the same again if you want to use your microphone. However, before any purchase of site credits, you can use the promotional wheel and get up to 90% of your first purchase of credits.
Flirt4Free.com
If you're looking for premium live cams with a twist, then Flirt4Free is certainly worth a look-see. While the biggest draw of this webcam site is the private shows, another feature that makes Flirt4Free a popular premium webcam offering is its dedicated microsite to all things spicy. If you're looking for an exclusive show with a gorgeous and elegant cam girl who's a skilled practitioner in a specific fetish, this site is the place to go. But, that's not the only reason. The negotiable cam rates which we'll tell you about in a moment help you score some of the best value-for-money exclusive show rates around.
Flirt4Free does have multi-viewer tip shows similar in style to those found at freemium cam platforms. The difference here is that the shows only last a set length of time. The performer has a meter showing which acts she'll perform if the audience cumulatively tip a certain amount and no matter how loud the chatter in the message box is from the crowd, the performer sticks to her preferences, showing just why she's a top cam model, as opposed to an amateur exhibitionist often found at the freemium webcam platforms.
The site's fetish home is probably the apex in premium kink settings. Not only can you find over 50 niche categories here, but there's also a wealth of information and articles related to the fetish world alongside a community-powered forum where both users and performers discuss acts and swap tips in a safe, educational and respectful environment.
All rates at Flirt4Free are webcam2webcam inclusive. The cheapest premium live cams kick off at just $0.50 a minute though the average is quite a bit higher, standing at $4.50. However, Flirt4Free has a range of promos and deals for first time members that can significantly cut costs
Some cam rooms feature a Make An Offer button on their live video window. If you can commit to a minimum time spend in a paid-for private show, you can use the feature to make an offer for the amount of time and price per minute you want to pay. The model can then accept your offer or counter offer. Several leading premium webcam models also offer promo codes that give you free additional minutes in any exclusive paid-for show with them.
ImLive.com
ImLive is a premium cam chat site with a focus on cutting costs, not on cutting standards. All the cam performers here are semi-pro or pro models and almost all offer both private shows, as well as hosting exclusive multi-viewer tip-fueled shows. The latter shows are time-restricted and the model determines what takes place in her exclusive free live cam session. In addition to intimate cam shows, the site also features some of the biggest names in the adult entertainment industry who perform in exclusive live monthly cam shows for ImLive members.
In addition to the usual search parameters offered by most premium live video chat sites, ImLive also has a free multi-room video search tool. This feature lets you watch six video feeds at the same time so you can see what performers are up to in real-time without having to click on each photo individually. Not only can you watch six rooms at the same time, but you can do it anonymously so the model has no idea who's looking in. Unfortunately though if you want to message the performer, you'll have to enter her room. This tool is purely a silent voyeur feature.
Out of the 600 or so performers streaming live at any one time, around 60% or so use HD streams. However, in recent months this has been increasing. Pretty soon, we expect ImLive to be almost HD-friendly site-wide. When it comes to finding the perfect partner for a 1on1 cam session, you can either use the site's well-designed search engine that lets your narrow down your options using several parameters, or even better, try out the platform's Fulfil Your Fantasy feature. This box lets you write down exactly what time of private cam show you're looking for, what you want to happen, and with which type of performer. The models can then make you an offer, oftentimes giving discounted rates in order to be the chosen one.
When it comes to rates, ImLive is cheap. In fact, it's one of the cheapest premium cam sites around. All the per-minute prices for exclusive shows are inclusive of cam2cam and 2-way audio usage. On average, the price for some private cam time with an ImLive model stands at $2.25 a minute, though you can always find a wide selection of broadcasters offering the lowest rate of just under $1.00 a minute. As a new member, the site will comp you with a bonus 100% extra credits on your first purchase. The more you buy, the more free cam site credits you get.
LivePrivates.com
Compromise isn't a word that can be used when it comes to describing LivePrivates. This exclusive webcam site caters for those who want the absolute best. If you're a fan of noisy chat rooms and amateur models that make freemium cam sites such a draw, then this site isn't for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for a cam partner who looks like she's just stepped off the pages of a luxury lingerie brochure and is as charming as she is gorgeous, then LivePrivates is exactly what you're looking for in an adult webcam platform.
There are usually over 1,000 HD cam rooms streaming 24/7 at LivePrivates ensuring you're never stuck for choice at this site. This site caters to the discerning cam aficionado who is looking for exclusive attention from top models as opposed to being just another voice in an over-crowded free video chat show. The open chat rooms at LivePrivates where you can message the performer are discreet and usually feature a limited number of visitors ensuring you'll get the model's attention no matter what. However, don't expect any explicit teasers or explicit antics. Clothes will only come off and the talk become dirty once the meter starts ticking a 1on1 show.
The site's search tools are to the point featuring the usual parameters such as model's age, body-type, hair color, fetishes she practices and how much she charges for an intimate cam session. At LivePrivates though, you don't have to click on a snapshot to see what the performer is up to in real-time. You can simply hover the photo for a few seconds and a live video feed comes through. This is always worth doing as many of the snapshots — even though beautifully stylized — may have been through a bit too much of a photoshop process. So what you're seeing isn't necessarily what you'll get in reality.
Prices aren't cheap. This isn't a bargain-basement webcam platform. On average, most rooms will set you back $3.60 a minute. That's not too bad, but if you want to make it a cam2cam session, you'll have to pay an additional $1-2 a minute more. The same again if you open you microphone to talk to the performer. The cheapest rates (without C2C and 2-way audio) kick off at $1.50 a minute. One way you can slightly reduce the cost, at least for one show, is to verify a credit card at the platform. You don't need to use the card and once you've registered it as a possible payment method, the site comps you 9.99 FREE credits.
xLoveCam.com
if you're not a native English-speaker or are looking for premium cam girls to practice a language with, the mainly Euro babes who host rooms at xLoveCam are some of the hottest multi-lingual adult cam chat performers you'll find. Intimate shows are cheap and all prices include cam2cam usage. While this is a premium webcam platform, which means nudity is meant to be relegated to paid-for shows only, at xLoveCam, the rooms tend to use this rule as a suggestion, rather than an edict.
This exclusive live video chat site has fewer shows streaming than other platforms. There are usually no more than 300 or so models live at any one point, but unlike some of the other sites, you will occasionally find nudity and explicit activity taking place in the models' open chat rooms. In fact, every Monday the site hosts a topless party where the hosts are legitimately allowed to hang out naked from the waist upwards. Apparently for many of the mainly European girls, upwards and downwards means the same. Total nudity on a Monday is common.
Unfortunately, streaming isn't up to the level of the other premium cams listed here. While more and more xLoveCam performers are investing in HD feeds, you'll find quite a number of them still use SD broadcasts. However, on the upside, the site lets you zoom into a live video window, increasing the view by up to 300%. So if you are in a HD show, you can get really up close and personal with a girl without paying any extra.
1on1 show prices at xLoveCam are cheap. In fact, most rooms charge around $2.00 a minute for some private fun and games, with many girls asking just the minimum rate of $1.00 a minute. And, if you want to open your webcam and microphone, you can do so without having to pay any extra.
Conclusion
At the end of the day, these 5 leading premium cam sites all have different strengths. Flirt4Free is great if you're looking for a show that's slightly less vanilla than the norm. ImLive is all about cheap c2c shows and semi-private explcit sessions. When it comes to exclusivity and a luxury cam experience in HD, LivePrivates can't be beaten, and xLoveCam is probably the top choice if you're looking for a model who speaks several languages and you're on a limited budget.
However, at the end of the day, LiveJasmin is deserving of its crown as queen of the premium live cam platforms. Gorgeous models, HD streaming almost site-wide, and a promotional offering that can help score you an incredible deal on a private show that you won't find anywhere else.
