Chaturbate is the largest cam site in the world. It has the most models, the most active shows, and the largest selection of free adult cams. But what are the best sites like Chaturbate?
Whether you are bored with the Chaturbating experience or want to sample different models you haven’t seen before, there are eight excellent alternatives I think you’ll enjoy.
My favourite direct alternative is StripChat, a sleek platform boasting VR rooms, interactive sex toys, and rapidly growing traffic that has recently overtaken Chaturbate — becoming the first platform to challenge the OG’s dominance in over a decade.
Meanwhile, Bonga Cams is more popular in Europe than Chaturbate in several key markets, to the point where it has been dubbed “The European Chaturbate.“
What Are The Best Sites Like Chaturbate?
I’ve divided this list into two sections… freemium and premium alternatives.
| Site | Where It Excels |
|---|---|
| StripChat | Massive reach, buzz-to-tip toys, free public shows, diverse international models |
| MyFreeCams | Loyal community of ‘MFC Girls’, tip-based, free chat (with restrictions) |
| CamSoda | Interactive toys, high-energy shows, recorded content, modern platform/UX |
| BongaCams | Huge traffic, token tipping, European-dominant models database |
| Cam4 | Amateur vibe, LGBTQ+ friendly, male-dominant models database |
| LiveJasmin | Luxury high-end private shows, pay-per-minute, polished model curation |
| Jerkmate | 1-on-1 focus, random match-style UI, instant private sessions |
| Flirt4Free | Private & ticket shows, fetish-friendly specialists, high cam quality |
Note: You can learn more about Chaturbate’s “freemium model” in our detailed review.
Many freemium cam sites operate just like Chaturbate but don’t have anywhere near the same amount of traffic, so I haven’t included them.
Similarly, some premium cam sites compete with Chaturbate but don’t offer the same frenzy of free shows using the tip-based formula. I’ve included these separately; they are more like the distant cousins of Chaturbate rather than direct replacements.
The five freemium sites below are the closest comparison. They are direct, real competition to Chaturbate.
The Freemium Alternatives
1. StripChat
StripChat is often the first name dropped as a Chaturbate alternative, and for very good reason. This platform launched in the mid-2010s and quickly became a serious contender… most rankings place it just behind Chaturbate in traffic, but they are basically neck-and-neck.
Chaturbate dominates in North America, but StripChat has incredible international reach. You can find hundreds of models from Japan, India and other key growing Asian markets.
The key driver of StripChat’s success is a modern interface and tech-savvy features that outshine Chaturbate’s. StripChat offers high-quality streams (plenty of models in HD, even 4K) and employs clever algorithms to personalize your experience. The site figures out your style as you browse and recommends cam shows to match.
It also leans heavily into mobile-first streaming, which makes it a much better choice for watching cams on a smaller screen.
From a user perspective, StripChat’s will feel familiar to Chaturbate fans: free public chats with tip menus and interactive toys buzzing away. One thing I noticed is StripChat’s focus on gamification – it has levels, achievements, and a lot of dopamine hits.
From a model’s earning perspective, StripChat actively promotes newcomers on the front page, which can translate to a bustling room and decent earnings on Day 1.
If I had to guess, StripChat will likely overtake Chaturbate as the world’s top cam site by late 2025 or early 2026.

2. MyFreeCams
For many years, MyFreeCams (MFC) was considered the closest direct rival to Chaturbate. MFC was founded seven years earlier than Chaturbate in 2004. It used this headstart to build a formidable roster of live performers, reaching 100,000 models and five million active users before Chaturbate even went live.
Yep, MyFreeCams was the top choice for free live adult webcams in a world before Chaturbate. The problem was… it never changed with the times.
Look at the MyFreeCams homepage today, and it’s as if time stood still in the early 2000s. You’ll see the same swathe of tiny thumbnails linking to private chat rooms where you can watch freemium sex shows. But the interface is ugly… really ugly.
While StripChat has been surging up the traffic charts, MyFreeCams has seen the opposite: a slow and steady decline.
MyFreeCams still provides one of the closest viable alternatives to Chaturbate in terms of the breadth of free shows and the expectations of the cam girls. They are nearly all amateur performers. Private shows are prohibitively expensive, but that’s only because the models are used to performing for large audiences who are happy to tip in numbers.
From a performer’s perspective, MFC has long been considered model-friendly in terms of revenue share and consistency. Models typically get 50% or more of what users spend (the site boasts that over 60% of gross user spending goes to the models. The big hitters on MFC can earn serious money, and the top performers (the infamous “MFC girls”) have grown massive fanbases, often ranking high in earnings across the industry.
MFC is the natural alternative if you are nostalgic for a site that looks like Chaturbate, feels like Chaturbate, and is packed full of free cams like Chaturbate. It’s not the flashiest, but it’s stood the test of time.

3. CamSoda
CamSoda has exploded onto the scene in recent years and is snapping at the heels of Chaturbate with a business model that essentially copies everything that made Chaturbate great – and puts a shiny new spin on it.
It operates a similar free-to-view business model where users are encouraged to tip to get models to perform various shows – public, private, or small groups.
CamSoda has made headlines with various cheeky PR campaigns, like offering the quarantined passengers of Covid-stricken cruise ships free access to their platform. It has also recruited several high-profile porn stars to attract new users with special VIP shows.
My favourite part of CamSoda is the glossy high-energy homepage that uses live clips instead of static thumbnails. You can peek dozens of shows at once without endlessly scrolling or cycling through rooms. There’s no doubt, this site feels a lot more modern than CB.
CamSoda also jumped early on trends like accepting cryptocurrency and integrating interactive sex toys. The site has excellent support for those Lovense and OhMiBod toys that vibrate with tips – an obvious draw for interactive show fans.
The model roster on CamSoda usually sits in the high hundreds to low thousands online, and the majority of shows are highly pornographic. Just check out their homepage… most girls are fully naked and putting on a wild show.
For models, CamSoda offers some cool incentives. New models get a “newbie” tag for extra visibility, and CamSoda can arrange featured shows: if you reach out, CamSoda will put you on the front page for an hour as a featured model (apparently once a week). That’s a sweet boost to gain followers and tippers quickly.

4. BongaCams
BongaCams has long been known as the ‘European Chaturbate.’ It is one of the few cam sites to lay a glove on Chaturbate’s market dominance, although it does this mainly in Europe (where its models and core audience are based).
The Malta Independent newspaper famously reported that Bonga Cams was more popular than Wikipedia among the Maltese. The journalist did not refer to Chaturbate usage, but we can safely say that Bonga enjoys a “hometown advantage” in several major European nations.
What’s interesting is if we dig into the usage on a country-by-country basis:
| Country | Total Traffic Share | Chaturbate Traffic Share | Bonga Cams Traffic Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | 34.48% | 88.8% | 11.2% |
| United Kingdom | 6.86% | 79.5% | 20.5% |
| Germany | 5.64% | 76.1% | 23.9% |
| Canada | 3.88% | 94.1% | 5.9% |
| France | 3.81% | 68.8% | 31.2% |
| Italy | 3.03% | 61.3% | 38.7% |
| Ukraine | 2.87% | 14.5% | 85.5% |
| Spain | 2.29% | 83.2% | 16.8% |
| Australia | 1.99% | 92.7% | 7.3% |
| Russia | 1.9% | 30.4% | 69.6% |
| India | 1.85% | 57.1% | 42.9% |
| Poland | 1.71% | 55.5% | 44.5% |
| Netherlands | 1.62% | 79.8% | 20.2% |
Chaturbate is dominant over Bonga Cams in the prized US and UK markets, but the picture across mainland Europe is finely balanced. Russians and Ukrainians can’t agree on much in 2023, but a preference for Bonga Cams over Chaturbate is unanimous, likely due to Bonga Cams acquiring Runetki.com in 2017.
If you land on BongaCams, you’ll see a familiar grid of cam thumbnails, lots of explicit action in some previews (BongaCams isn’t shy), and categories to filter models by region, age, etc. One strength of BongaCams is the filtering options – you can slice and dice by exactly what you desire, which is handy given the massive model base.
If you enjoy Eastern European models or want to practice your español with a Latina camgirl, BongaCams is about as good as it gets. Unique to Bonga is a levelling system for members: instead of a simple premium membership, you level up from Silver to Gold to Elite based on how much you spend over time.
From a model’s perspective, BongaCams is a mixed bag. The upside: insane traffic. With hundreds of millions of visits a month, a new model can potentially attract a crowd quickly. The downside: European traffic is notoriously stingier when it comes to tipping.
I don’t want to cause a stir here, but it’s well-known that most cam models MUCH prefer the tipping habits of an American over a French or German viewer. $$$, baby.
Hence, many models choose Chaturbate over Bonga.
Whatever the case, BongaCams is absolutely a top-tier Chaturbate alternative, especially for an international experience where the girls will do more for less.

5. Cam4
Cam4 is one of the oldest Chaturbate alternatives, online since 2007.
First impressions count for everything on cam sites, and your first impression of Cam4 will likely be something like: “Wow, that’s a lot of tits and arse.“
This platform focuses specifically on amateur performers, just like Chaturbate, but it’s notably dirtier and more candid. No scene is considered too extreme for the homepage.
While the trending cams on Chaturbate are often the most beautiful model-like performers (typically young and athletic), Cam4 is pretty indiscriminate about looks. It goes All In on the explicit action. As a result, the kinkiest or wildest sex shows rise to the top. It’s full of amateur couples fucking, or close-up shots of fetish models masturbating.
Cam4 is also one of the rare freemium cam sites where the male models routinely outnumber the women. There are a lot of couples active, too, but the site has a reputation for its explicit male cams, so it’s worth considering if you are looking for a Manly version of Chaturbate.
From the model perspective, Cam4 is often described as welcoming to beginners. It doesn’t demand super high streaming quality or professional pics to get started. Anybody with a laptop webcam can log on and potentially attract viewers. Most ultimately use Cam4 as a stepping stone to more lucrative earning opportunities.
Cam4 is a long way behind Chaturbate in the numbers department, but the ratio of explicit sex shows is through the roof.
You don’t have to wait long to find some kinky material broadcasted for free, although the video quality is pretty shoddy, and the HD cams are few and far between. I mainly recommend Cam4 as a raw, amateur, no-frills alternative to Chaturbate.

The Premium Alternatives
Not every adult cam site tries to beat Chaturbate at its own game.
The five sites listed above are the closest alternatives to Chaturbate, but with the obvious caveat: they are all freemium cam sites.
The sites below have less in common with Chaturbate. You typically pay for a private show for a more intimate one-2-one experience. My advice? Try these if you can’t keep up with the walls of spam on CB.
6. Live Jasmin
LiveJasmin is to premium what Chaturbate is to freemium. It is the world’s most successful ‘luxury’ cam site, the Rolls-Royce of cam platforms, with a clear focus on chatting with models privately.
If you’ve ever been on a Porn tube (and how many of our readers haven’t?), you’ve likely encountered a LiveJasmin pop-up or ad. In fact, LiveJasmin is notorious for its omnipresent ad spend; there’s a running joke: “You don’t find LiveJasmin, LiveJasmin finds you.”
Browsing LJ feels like stepping into a high-end gentlemen’s club (or an escort den). The models stream from well-decorated rooms, in lingerie or outfits, with professional lighting. The site design is sleek: famous black and red theme, elegant fonts, everything screaming “classy”. As a user, you can chat in models’ rooms for free in a limited way, but the goal on LiveJasmin is to entice you into a private show.
Public chat is usually pretty tame – yes, models might tease, but there’s no nudity, and nothing explicit. And models get banned for “breaking the code”.
A radical departure from Chaturbate is the model vetting process itself. LiveJasmin is notorious in the camming community for enforcing one of the strictest application processes for new performers. All models are vetted before they are allowed to broadcast on the platform, which adds to my impression of a premium cam site that doesn’t want to be categorized with Chaturbate.
If we look at the model side, LiveJasmin can be lucrative but also demanding… just to even get accepted on the platform. LJ’s cut is significant; models might start around 30-40% payout and can increase it by hitting huge revenue milestones. It’s a strict platform in every sense… but the top models earn big money and attract repeat clients; a more refined day-to-day than your typical Chaturbate model fighting for eyeballs.
Ultimately, punters love the personal attention they get on LiveJasmin (if they have the money to spend).
If you’re looking for a more one-on-one, controlled environment where you won’t see freeloaders spamming chat, LiveJasmin is vastly superior to Chaturbate in this department.

7. Jerkmate
Most of us have seen those “Stop Jerking Off Alone” ads on PornHub.
Whatever money Jerkmate makes from its cam business, a decent chunk is reinvested into stalking us around the web.
This platform is a bit different from the others here: it’s essentially an aggregator/portal that matches you with cam models.
The most significant difference is that you can’t get anything for free on JerkMate. You need to add your credit card just to verify your age and access the teaser shows. The models on JerkMate make their money from private shows, an entirely different business model from the tipping-based free-for-all on Chaturbate.
Another key difference: The viewing experience is a lot more gamified on Jerkmate.
So you sign up, input some likes (you prefer brunettes, big boobs, etc), and Jerkmate will suggest or connect you to a model that ticks those boxes. The interface makes it feel a bit like a dating app meets cam site – the gimmick being that you’re not browsing endless thumbnails yourself; instead, the site does the work to pair you with someone you’ll go private with.
Despite the Omegle-ish vibe of the name, it’s not random peer-to-peer cam2cam with other users.
It’s essentially the same roster of professional cam models you’d find on other networks (I believe Streamate is their source database). Yeah, you can filter by category and tags, but much of the experience is letting their algorithm surprise you with random girls.
If you’ve only ever used Chaturbate, it will initially seem bewildering. But if you’re sick of the crowded chat rooms and lack of attention on Chaturbate, Jerkmate can certainly fix that.

8. Flirt4Free
Flirt4Free is a famous rival to Chaturbate that hit the news a couple of years ago when one user spent an incredible $57,000 in one weekend on private shows and extravagant tips.
The identity of the mystery viewer has never been revealed, but no doubt the ladies on Flirt4Free live in the hope that he’ll one day return to the site!
The site’s been around since the late ’90s, making it perhaps the oldest in this list. Don’t let that fool you – Flirt4Free has evolved into a modern, feature-rich platform targeting the premium market. It functions much like Chaturbate, with free shows available for general viewing, backed by a raft of premium features that cost credits to access.
To be clear, Flirt4Free offers both public chats and private shows (a freemium/premium hybrid), but it leans more towards a structured environment than the wild west of freemium sites.
You can enter models’ rooms for free and chat, similar to other sites, but many models on F4F will focus on enticing you into a private or a group show.
From a model’s perspective, Flirt4Free is something of a sleeper hit. It has excellent support and earning potential, with the models treated as valued partners (rather than lucrative commodities), which indirectly benefits users because the performers are, well… happier!
What I would say about Flirt4Free is that the platform does a great job of attracting specialist fetish performers: BDSM, JOI, foot play, etc.
Compared to Chaturbate, where fetish shows can feel a bit “freestyle” (you’ll often see models dabble in whatever gets tipped that day), Flirt4Free has performers who build their entire persona around that niche. It’s not unusual to find a JOI mistress with a full archive of custom content, themed outfits, and a chat room full of long-time submissive punters singing her praises.

Are There Any Cam Sites As Big As Chaturbate?
No.
Chaturbate is the biggest cam site in the world (as of June 2025).
Chaturbate has the most registered models and the most models online of any cam site.
The latest estimates in our adult cams guide put Chaturbate’s model count at 350,000+, with over 5000 shows live during peak hours.
The next biggest cam site (by registered models) is LiveJasmin with around 200,000 models, including 191,809 female performers.
If we use different criteria to define ‘big’, such as the most visitors overall, Chaturbate has recently reclaimed its crown there, too:
It edges ahead of StripChat (547m vs 469m), which had previously risen to #1 on the back of insane pandemic-era growth.
Which Cam Sites Are Cheaper Than Chaturbate?
Chaturbate offers the cheapest private shows of any major cam site, with the lowest rates starting at just $0.50 per minute.
We previously published a comparison of the cheapest cam sites, which highlights the starting prices:
| Site | Cheapest Show Per Min | Range of Prices Per Min |
|---|---|---|
| Chaturbate | $0.50 | $0.50 – $7.00 |
| IMLive | $1.00 | $1.00 – $5.00 |
| Streamate | $1.00 | $1.00 – $6.00 |
| XCams | $1.15 | $1.15 – $3.45 |
| StripChat | $1.20 | $1.20 – $6.00 |
| LiveJasmin | $1.20 | $1.20 – $9.99 |
| Cam4 | $2.50 | $2.50 – $7.50 |
| Flirt4Free | $2.50 | $2.50 – $7.00 |
| CamSoda | $2.50 | $2.50 – $6.00 |
| Jerkmate | $3.00 | $3.00 – $7.00 |
| BongaCams | $5.90 | $5.90+ |
| MyFreeCams | $6.00 | $6.00 |
Please keep in mind that the cheapest price is not necessarily what you will be paying for a private show. When we account for the average show cost, there’s little to choose between sites like Chaturbate, StripChat and CamSoda.
However, BongaCams and MyFreeCams are noticeably more expensive.
Do Any Cam Sites Have 100% Free Shows Like Chaturbate?
Yes, Chaturbate’s freemium cam site model has been copied many times. In fact, Chaturbate actually copied the concept from MFC!
All five of our top recommend Chaturbate alternatives offer 100% free live shows.
Chaturbate Clones and White Label Sites
Depending on how many cam sites you’ve visited, you may have encountered sites that look and feel very similar to Chaturbate — so similar; they are practically identical.
Chaturbate has what is known as a white-label service, where webmasters can sign up to run their own branded versions of the Chaturbate database.
Here is a classic example from Naughty Church:
You might ask, then, why haven’t we included the white-label sites in our list?
It would make sense given that they are closest possible thing to a Chaturbate alternative, right?
Well, yeah, but that would be missing the point.
If you are looking for a Chaturbate replacement, it’s probably because you want to sample a different cam platform. Not just Chaturbate with a different logo.
Once you understand how Chaturbate works, using any of these sites is straightforward. They are exactly the same, with some minor cosmetic tweaks. There are dozens of Chaturbate white-labels out there in the wild. Just keep in mind that none of them offer an experience that you can’t already get by signing up on the main Chaturbate site.
Unless you really like different logos…
That wraps up our guide to the best websites like Chaturbate. Are there any worthy freemium cam site contenders that we’ve missed?
Let us know your favourite CB alternatives.
You can’t beat Chaturbate. That place is a god damn time suck.
Do remember the good old days of MFC. I can see how the girls would have been minting $XXXX/month easily back in its heyday. Still alright but it’s full of amateurs expecting to get rich quick from rubbing their tits these days.
Wish I had a pair!!
“Still alright but it’s full of amateurs expecting to get rich quick from rubbing their tits these days.”
Not a bad business plan, tbf.
Nice list, Cum24 is good too and looks like BongaCams
