5 Hi-Def Cam Sites That Are Excellent Alternatives to Zoom
Zoom is a great way to connect with people around the world. The platform, well designed for professional meetings, has become the industry standard. But did you know that Zoom forbids any nudity or explicit sexual conduct? Of course I won't report you, but perhaps you should consider these five adult cam site alternatives. On these sites, nudity isn't just allowed, it's the point.
CamSoda
Few cam sites can compete with CamSoda. At any given time you'll find several hundred models performing explicit shows right there in the public feed. If you decide you want a one-on-one show, the prices are budget friendly and most rooms stream in full HD.
CamSoda is a top-notch freemium site with models performing explicit acts live in at no cost to you. Tipping is optional. The option to active your camera and enjoy a Zoom-style chat with a gorgeous model is available during Private sessions, which average $3.00 a minute, though there are models charging as little as $0.60 a minute.
But why pay when Zoom is totally free, right?
Actually, it's not. Zoom has 5 usage tiers of which only the first is free. CamSoda has a similar offer: If you want the basic experience, you can just log on and enjoy. You don't have to spend a single cent if you don't want to. Then there's Ticket Shows, which offer a group rate, Private Shows, where it's just you and the model, and Spy Shows, where you can discretely watch a model as she enjoys other people's privates...literally.
Speaking of spying, one of the things you won't have to worry about is the so-called Zoombombers plaguing Zoom since its inception. CamSoda's platform blocks people from chatting or interacting in someone else's private session when using the Spy feature; others can watch the model, but they won't be able to force their way in or distract the model.
LiveJasmin
LiveJasmin is a site I always recommend because it blows most other premium HD sites out of the water. It has plenty of beautiful models, a platform-wide minimum streaming quality of 720p hi-def, and a media player with over a dozen interactive features. For all its perks, LiveJasmin's prices remain competitive and the site even offers a cool promotion with the chance to save a lot on your purchase of credits.
LiveJasmin knows how to design a great site, and their efforts have yielded one of the best premium cam sites you'll ever encounter. It's well organized, intuitive, and user friendly, including helpful filters like Show Type, Price, Ethnicity, and Willingness (types of acts performed).
When you enter a model's room you'll immediately notice the excellent picture quality and feature-rich media player. LiveJasmin's minimum streaming quality requirement for all models is 720p HD but new models are encouraged to use 1080p hi-def webcams, and it shows. To maximize the experience, use the site's HD search filter and activate the HD button on the media player (turns yellow when active).
On LiveJasmin you'll pay an average of $2.80 a minute for a Private Show, which doesn't include using cam-to-cam or two-way audio. If you want to save a bit, try a VIP Show, which usually costs less than the average one-on-one session. You can also find models who perform for as little as $1.10 a minute. If you prefer using your mobile phone, you'll be happy to know that LiveJasmin is fully optimized with solid hi definition mobile cam2cam platfrom. When logging in to your account, you may be offered to Spin the Wheel for a chance at 99% off your next credit purchase.
Flirt4Free
With its glam galleries, detailed model profiles, and Play & Pay option, Flirt4Free has carved out a special place for itself in the webcam community. The site also runs one of the best VIP Membership programs you can find. The site's only real downside is its relatively small selection, though we're still talking about hundreds of models.
Flirt4Free offers a wide variety of show types. In addition the open chat rooms, Flirt4Free offers Private and Spy Chat, and Party Chat, where a crowd can enjoy explicit action that the model would never perform in free chat. Another show type worth mentioning is the Multi-User show. It's a Private/Spy/Group hybrid where the person who started the show is the only one with cam-to-cam privileges, but others can watch and participate in other ways.
Flirt4Free has taken into account varying internet speeds, providers, and browsers by developing two media player formats. The default player (assuming you have an account) is the HLS, which is designed to ensure less lag. The other is the Nano player, which allows you to adjust the streaming quality. I recommend trying each one with several browsers, unless you have super high-speed internet, in which case just use the Nano.
Private shows on Flirt4Free cost an average of $3.90 a minute, and the least expensive are around $0.55 a minute. The Multi-User and Party shows usually average a bit less. The site also offers a pay-as-you-go option called Play & Pay. Simply provide your credit card details and the site will tally your use and charge you accordingly within 48 hours. You'll get an email with an itemized bill. If you want to add an extra layer of security, use a pre-paid credit card.
Chaturbate
Chaturbate has become synonymous with sexy freemium action. This cam site is one of the most-visited explicit sites in the world, boasting seemingly endless pages of models performing everything imaginable, live and in quality hi-def. With so much available for free, it's a wonder anyone ever spends money there.
You can easily enjoy several hours of hot entertainment on Chaturbate without spending a dime. The site's models perform in their open cam rooms and you're not obligated to tip them. In fact, if all you want to do is watch you don't even need to log in. Just enter and enjoy. When you decide to purchase tokens for tipping, you'll find good packages, as well as several payment options. Chaturbate even accepts cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether. In case you're wondering, Zoom doesn't.
For the best viewing experience select Prioritize HD cameras in the Options section, which arranges the models according to streaming quality, with plenty in 1080p HD+. Just like Zoom, Chaturbate's lets you adjust the screen size simply by clicking and dragging the edge of the player, and will move to a window at the bottom of your screen when you continue browsing, so you never miss a thing.
If you want to spend money on a private session, it'll cost you around $2.70 a minute, and even as little as $0.60 a minute. Many models give you the option to join their Fan Club at $20.99 a month.
Stripchat
Combine a world-class user interface, beautiful models, 4K Virtual Reality cam rooms, and the option to record your shows, and you get Stripchat. The site's prices are a little higher but there's hourly prize draws and bulk rates on tokens to help you save.
Stripchat entered the scene a bit later than some of the other top sites, and this seems to have worked in their favor. Stripchat introduced a lot of modern features to the site, many of which you still can't find on popular premium sites. For example, there's a social media Feedthat adds a fun dimension to the site and lets you get to know models on a more personal level.
The media player is another example of modern technology at its best. It displays the stream's current quality and allows you to adjust it as you wish. You can also turn the Low-Latency setting on or off, giving you more control over the stream. In rooms where the model allows you to record her, that feature automatically shows up in the player. Speaking of modern technology, there are only a couple of sites offering Virtual Reality streaming, and Stripchat is one of them. In case you're wondering, there is no VR on Zoom.
You'll pay around $3.50 a minute for a private session on Stripchat, and a little more for an Exclusive session where no one can spy on you. There are models performing for as little as $0.80 a minute and you can save up to 30% on tokens by buying in bulk. The best way to save money long term, however, is the Ultimate Membership. For $19.99 a month you can enjoy full access to the models' private chats, full anonymity (if you want it), and the chance to be her saving Knight (room moderator).
Conclusion
Zoom is a great platform that is here for the long run and there's certainly no reason to stop using it. But when it comes to naughty pursuits, the five sites on this list are superior options without the limitations. CamSoda earned my top spot for its freemium features and competitive prices.
