“Free” is a ubiquitous word that is seen everywhere online, trying to convince us to buy something, even though it’s supposed to be “free”. For example – seeing an offer to buy one, and the second will be free. Or, you may be offered completely free access, but you must give your credit card details first, to be kept on file.
The same goes for watching live adult webcams. Many webcam sites call themselves free but will only allow you access to the public webcams for a few seconds before exiting you from the cam room, or the performers themselves will kick you out because you don’t have cam site credits in your account.
But there is some good news in all the messy world of “free” adult webcams, as some freemium cam sites are legitimately free! Check out the list below and discover what makes each site unique, and special, as well as free.
CamSoda
CamSoda costs nothing to enter, nothing to view the public cams, and they provide you with webcam performers that are either naked, getting naked, or performing intimate acts. CamSoda hosts around 1,500 cam models online during most times of the day.
The site has a filter, but it rarely represents the models well. There are also tags, but any model can tag themself in any category, so that’s not reliable, either. On the flipside, it is one of very few cam sites that give you live video previews of the cam rooms. Rather than a static preview gallery, which is most common, you barely step one foot on the site and you are bombarded with a gallery of cam rooms, streaming live, in front of your very eyes. All for free.
Camsoda’s prices for a private cam2cam session are very affordable, comparatively, and you also get completely free recordings that are yours to keep, which is a super enjoyable bonus. Additionally, you can activate your device’s camera and microphone for free, both on desktop and the impressive mobile platform. You can even turn on your camera for a model in their public room, though the cam model may request a small tip.
CamSoda also offers you the option to request a Custom Video from the webcam performer for which you pay in advance, and the cam model will create a cinematic, seductive masterpiece, just for you.
Flirt4Free
Flirt4Free is a premium cam site, however it offers so much for free, including the public cam shows, deals and promos, and super cheap group shows, that it’s right on the edge of being freemium. Flirt4Free has around 700 performers always online, streaming in up to 1080p HD+.
Flirt4Free is a bit of a feature fanatic, and you may find yourself spending time browsing the site for an extended amount of time without ever entering a single free cam show. There’s a dedicated Fetish Community, an Education Center, Forums for members and for models, Feature Shows for new models, Flirt Phone, and a VIP membership that is one of the best of any cam site, if you can afford the monthly fee.
The site offers a great mobile webcam platform with cam2cam, 24/7 live chat customer care, celebrity special events – especially around the holidays – and fun model rankings and contests.
Flirt4Free can get somewhat expensive, depending on the performer you choose, but the cam shows do include cam2cam in the prices, as well as a free recording, but after a week you will be charged to rewatch it, unless you’re a VIP member. The cheapest prices on Flirt4Free are the multiuser shows that are like one big kinky party. Find the Group and Party shows under the Room Type filter.
Cherry.tv
This delectable cam site offers a humble selection of 200 online performers, though an impressive bunch they are, streaming in up to Full HD quality. The site is beautifully designed and far less expensive than many premium cam sites, despite having some ambitious and engaging performers.
On Cherry.tv, most models are 18-25, and extremely eager to showcase their skills. The webcam player features are easy to interact with, and each month brings a different theme where they change up the design of the feature buttons. The cam rooms offer tipping and controlling the performers’ sex toys, going into group chats which are cheaper, and cute gifts for the models.
Sometimes people just want cam rooms, and sometimes they want extra options to pass the time. Cherry.tv gives just that. There are events with porn stars, rankings of both models and users (with prizes), and the Club Cherry membership gives members special deals and privileges, such as becoming a moderator in a cam girl’s public cam show. The site also runs on XP points, like games, which you can rack up and get prizes.
Stripchat
Stripchat has one of the best filters in the freemium cam site world. It created sections and categories with every kink and fetish under the sun, as well as nationalities and languages that puts a UN convention to shame. However, it offers only static pics, so you need to enter each room (for free) to see what’s going on.
Stripchat offers up to 8,000 online models during peak hours in up to 4K HD, performers of all styles, bodies, ethnicities, and show types, so if you care about astonishing variety, this is the destination for you. The site is also incredibly affordable for private 1on1 cam sessions, but if you want to turn on your cam, there will be an additional cost. The advantage of that Exclusive show is that no one can spy on the show the performer is giving. In addition, the free show recordings you get remain for your eyes only, it is not added to the model’s content for others to purchase.
Perhaps the site’s crowning jewel is that Stripchat offers something very rare in live cams, virtual reality. All you need is a headset. Once you have it, select the VR Cams category. You may also be surprised to discover that some of the performers with tech to support VR ask for the bare minimum per minute private show rate..
BongaCams
BongaCams is called a freemium cam site, but it offers so many amenities that are usually only provided on premium cams, such as 24/7 live chat customer support, multiple filters and a tagging system, semi-pro and pro models along with the amateurs, up to 1080 HD+ quality cams, and a brilliant mobile platform with c2c.
BongaCams is less about features, and the membership on offer isn’t worth much unless you spend a ton on the site, but the cam rooms themselves are very enjoyable, giving lots of free content from the models to the fans that would cost money on other sites. You also get categories as well as tags, and even an age toggle for those looking for a specific age between 18-60.
This site offers over 30 languages, and for paying members, free translation inside the cam rooms, which is a rare and cool feature especially for those who love their models to be exotic/European/from the Far East. BongaCams can reach over 2,000 models online during peak hours. Also note that even if you pay for tokens just once, you become a lifelong member, which gives you free translations in the cam rooms, as well as the ability to turn on your cam in public cam shows. BongaCams also has a convenient app you can download for free.
MyFreeCams
MyFreeCams only hosts female webcam models and proves to be just as risqué as any other of the freemium cam sites. MyFreeCams offers around 1,200 cam girls during most times of the day, and they love to go into in-depth convos with their fans, even while playing a video game or watching a TV show, creating a real sense of community. If you are looking for a predominance of American cam girls, this is the platform to check out.
MyFreeCams’ main problem is that it takes a bit of time to understand how it operates, since it is one of the original cam sites, that has yet to update their platform since they launched in 2004. There are search and filtering options available, but it takes some experimentation to figure out how best to use it. And though it is a freemium cam site with lots of free sex and nudity, if you do purchase tokens here (the cheapest package is just $4.99), the experience becomes infinitely better, and you get to turn on your device’s camera during open shows.
One last thing to consider, especially if you love 1on1 cam shows, is that you will pay a comparatively high per minute rate on MyFreeCams, which is a set price for all models on the platform. This doesn’t make much sense, since you can see so much for free, as the cam models here are rarely dressed. Though, it is something to consider if what you love most about live cams are private shows.
Chaturbate
Chaturbate hosts some of the wildest, most out-there cam models in the live cam industry. Here is where you’ll find the cosplay models, gamers (who are naked), true exhibitionists with head-to-toe latex and special dungeons. Chaturbate can reach up to 10,000 models actively online, with a few that stream in up to 4K Ultra HD quality.
Chaturbate is a classic freemium cam site, offering a very accurate tagging system, and when you search using the search bar, there’s rarely a category not listed. Though the profile pics are static, they’re taken every 30 seconds from the cam rooms, so you know right away what’s going on in each webcam model’s public show.
Chaturbate is super cheap, and all prices include cam to cam on desktop and mobile, as well as a free recording of your show. You can also turn on your camera during the public cam shows. Another fun feature on Chaturbate is the random search. If you feel like taking a chance, then select the Next Cam button found in any cam room and get transported to a random chat room. If you want the random search to operate automatically, then select the Scan Cams and get 15 seconds in each room before the site teleports you to another hidden gem.
Conclusion
The best part about freemium cam sites is that you get free views, and interactions, with some of the most stunning amateur, and semi-pro cam girls. You can enter rooms, hang out as they work their bodies and accessories/toys, without spending a dime. In addition, some freemium cam sites offer beautiful Full HD or even 4K HD streaming quality, and incredibly low cost private 1on1 chats that take the intimacy with your webcam model to the next level, often including the option of a mobile device with c2c capabilities at no extra charge.
While free cam sites can have downsides like overcrowded public cam rooms, low quality performances from models who are just starting out, or a lack of a proper search and filtering system, the disadvantages rarely outweigh the splendor of getting to watch explicit acts and nudity, for free.
At the end of the day, free cam sites are where most users tend to spend their time. Not only because the prices are lower, but because technology allows even the cheapest of cam sites to offer great amenities like HD, great shows, and an immense amount of free content. You also get the option to use your mobile device, get 24/7 support, and many other features that are just as impressive as premium cam sites.
If you’re a novice with cam sites and want to start light, we highly recommend starting with CamSoda. It’s the perfect starter cam site for anyone. The free cam shows are abundant and once you create a free membership, you can passively enter any free cam show and watch for as long as you like. In addition, you get Soda Vids, which are full-length movies created by the site – for free, voyeur cams in black and white to spy on models during their daily routines – for free, and a BB section that serves as a social media platform for CamSoda fans.
