Cams.com Review

Cams.com is one of the most established live cam sites on the web with a long history and solid reputation for providing quality adult webcam services. They offer almost all the amenities of their competitors along with an easy to use interface and wide selection of individuals.

Performer Information

Claiming to have 'the wildest live webcams', Cams.com puts out anywhere from 350-500 models online at any given time. The girls that makeup the site are predominately Eastern European and some of the best looking babes on the web. Friendly and experienced, they provide good, not great shows to the viewing public. This may be due in part to the fact the site is heavily dominated by studio performers and not regular girls working from home.

For variety, there is a solid mix to choose from. The couple's category seems to be one of the stronger areas of the site as they have close to 20 live ones performing at any given time. Most of these couples are experienced and provide an entertaining show. Cams.com does offer such areas as BBW, mature, and fetish cams, although they are not heavily saturated with performers. You can break girls down by hair color and ethnicity as well.

Shows are run on a flash based platform that is clear and smooth. Window size can be doubled without losing much detail. While speed issues typically depend on the internet connection of the performer, we found that the vast majority of girls were running extremely fast. This is one of the advantages to having a lot of studio based performers on their site.

Site Features

Performers on Cams.com are broken down into two sections, free chat and nude chat. The free chat is a teaser based video chat that allows members to check out the model in a non-nude format. Typically the girl will be wearing something provocative and will try to entice you into going private with them. There seem to be a lot of freeloaders on the site that bombard the girl with requests. When you've found the right one, simply click yourself into a private 1-on-1 paid show with the babe.

Nude chats are a way to jump right into the action. These girls are in mid-performance so that you don't have to waste precious time on formalities or watching them strip. This format is a little cheaper than private 1-on-1 shows due to the fact that others may be inside as well. The one downfall to this option is the fact that there is no grace period before you get billed (ImLive for instance gives you 20 seconds). That means you are entering the room blind without knowing what's behind the curtain. On a couple occasions, we've entered a nude chat to find the girl either fully clothed or simply not there. That is a frustrating way to lose a few bucks.

Each performer has their own profile page that offers up some basic statistics as well as their ratings. One of the nice aspects of their rating system is that they are only made by those who have seen a show by the performer. They also breakdown the performance by appearance, show quality, whether you'd come back, and the overall experience. Within this page you can access the model's recorded shows for a per minute fee.

For more personalization, members can add girls to their favorites for quick access. Fan clubs are available to give you discounts on the performer.

Price Information

Unfortunately, Cams.com is one of the most expensive cam sites out there. Private 1-on-1 shows are a whopping $4.99 a minute while nude shows will run you $3.99 a minute on average. This is $2 more than most of their competitors. They even tack on $0.99/minute if you want to show the host your cam. A 10 minute private show will cost you in upwards of $50. Recorded shows cost $0.99/minute, which is high when you consider sites like Webcams.com and Streamate give these videos for free.

For those working on a tight budget, there are happy hour chats. They occur Monday - Thursday from 3pm-6pm as well as 3am-6am. This will get you into nude chats for $0.99/minute, which isn't a bad deal. Unfortunately they aren't at very popular times of day.

Fan clubs are available for particular hosts. These will cost about $14.95/month with an option to get a discount on paying for 3 months in advance. However, you don't get too much for this. There is a 10% discount on future shows with the host along with complete access to their prerecorded videos. You can also signup for a one-day Voyeur View Pass which runs $49.95 and gives you unfettered access to all the private shows on the site without the cam girl knowing you're there.

Membership to the site is free, although requires a credit card for age verification.

Ease Of Use

Cams.com is an extremely easy site to use. Most features are one click away and easy to understand. There are quick pay buttons within the private chat that lets you add money with ease in the event you are running short during a show. Your account balance shows along the top at all times.

For navigating to girls, it's one of the best sites out there. You can pull the entire list of live cam performers up at anytime. This will give you a thumbnailed preview of what's going on with their show. It negates having to go from page to page like other sites. Your "Home" page lays out recently viewed hosts, your favorites, new hosts, and a slew of other helpful features. We wish more sites would take the approach Cams.com has to navigation.

Final Thoughts

The site packs a solid array of performers with nice features and an easy learning curve. Unfortunately, these don't justify the high per minute fees found within the site. Where Cams.com starts in price, many others are ending. While we enjoy using the site, it's tough to recommend it to anyone who factors price into their decision. There are simply too many cheaper alternatives that offer the same, if not better experiences for a fraction of the cost. Our recommendation is to give their free membership a shot if you're intrigued by the girls. Then determine whether any of them are worth that price.
