How we compared
Prices are from each site’s own checkout in the US, checked on 9 and 10 October 2026. We looked at three things:
- The smallest first purchase: what you pay to get started.
- The price per token at the card prices, fees included.
- The price per minute in a private show, where the site publishes a rate. Many sites let each performer set her own price, so there it’s a range.
Sites that don’t publish prices without an account (MyFreeCams, Flirt4Free, LiveJasmin, ImLive, Visit-X) aren’t ranked here yet. We add them as soon as we’ve checked their checkout.
The prices side by side

Our picks
CamSoda is the cheapest way in. New members get 300 tokens for $14.99 instead of $31.98, about 5 cents a token, and private shows start at 6 tokens a minute. A wire transfer from $400 brings tokens down to 8 cents. See every package on the CamSoda prices page.
BongaCams sells the cheapest tokens: 1,346 tokens cost $74.99, 5.6 cents each. The smallest PayPal or Skrill package is $3.99, and verifying your email gives you 10 free tokens. Its default private rate is 60 tokens a minute, so a show isn’t cheap, but you pay per second. More on the BongaCams prices page.
Stripchat has the lowest card entry: $4.99 for 45 tokens, and free tokens every hour. The largest card package, 2,350 tokens for $199.99, brings a token down to 8.5 cents. See the Stripchat prices page.
XCams is the cheapest per minute among the pay-per-minute sites: 5 to 10 credits, about $1 to $2. New accounts get 25 credits for $1 once. The free chat has no explicit shows.
Chaturbate charges 8 to 14 cents a token, and what a show costs is up to the broadcaster. Watching is free without an account or a card. Packages are on the Chaturbate prices page.
Cam4 is the most expensive of the six: 17 to 20 cents a token plus $2 per purchase. Buy the bigger packages so the fee counts for less. See the Cam4 prices page.

How to spend less
- Take the new-member deals. CamSoda’s 300 tokens for $14.99 and XCams’ 25 credits for $1 are the cheapest the sites get, and they only work once.
- Buy bigger packages. The price per token falls with size on every site; Cam4’s $2 fee makes it matter most there.
- Watch the clock. Most private shows bill per minute or per second, so leave when it’s not for you.
- Watch for free first. Public shows cost nothing, and tipping is optional.
- Skip token generators. They steal accounts. See free cam tokens for the real offers.
