Cheapest Webcam Sites With HD+ & 4K Chat Rooms

It was only a a few years ago when HD was considered the top of the top in streaming quality. HD TVs were expensive and a status symbol for the lucky few who could afford them. Today, you're hard pressed to find a TV that isn't HD compatible, in fact most new TVs and monitors aren't only HD friendly, but almost all feature HD plus (1080p) formats and increasingly a large number of affordable monitors are now offering a 4K resolution.

So, if you can watch a live show in crystal-clear HD plus, FHD (full high-definition) or 4K, it can be annoying to have to downgrade and suffer from a lower broadcasting quality because the cam room you're in hasn't yet upgraded their hardware to streaming a session in HD+ or 4K. However, you don't have to downgrade as the following sites all offer cheap private cam rates and a large choice shows using HD plus and 4K streams.

Just because a room offers HD plus or a 4K feed, that doesn't mean the broadcast will automatically come through in the best resolution possible. Once you're in a live chat room, you' may need to select the settings or streaming icon that appears in the live video window and manually choose 1080p or 2180p as your chosen streaming quality.

The Sites

Stripchat.com

When it comes to streaming quality, at Stripchat you don't only get a huge variety of rooms offering HD and HD plus feeds, but you can also find the occasional 4K broadcasting show and even higher than that, rooms offering virtual reality (VR) cam feeds. The site has over 3,000 live shows streaming 24/7, many of which are hosted by models performing all types of kinks in their free tip-fueled rooms. You can jump from HD + room to HD + room and see every type of genre and niche and even record an open session, creating your own library of NSFW cam clips. 

Visit Stripchat

Stripchat doesn't differentiate in the search engine between HD, HD plus and 4K. These three streaming qualities are all grouped together under HD in the search page. In order to refresh the results to show only those streaming in 720p and upwards you simply click on the All Categories button located at the bottom of the homepage's left menu bar, then choose H under the alphabetical listing of options and select HD. But you probably don't even need to take those extra steps considering the majority of the rooms offer HD feeds. 

Stripchat is a great cam site if you're not only looking for some cheap HD cam fun, but also want to build your own very personalized collection of HD videos. You can not only record a free cam session where the performers carry out all types of performance acts for tips, but many of the rooms offer private shows that you can record and copy of the host's performance is stored in your Stripchat account where you can access it whenever you want without paying any extra.

BongaCams.com

BongaCams attracts exhibitionists from around the world, with around 1,200 shows streaming 24/7. While private show rates at this freemium cam site are slightly more expensive than at comparable platforms, you won't necessarily need to go into an exclusive session in order to see a model perform your favorite performance act as most hosts will carry out almost any act for tips in their open cam rooms.

Visit BongaCams

Finding an HD plus broadcast at BongaCams isn't an issue. All the snapshots offering 1080p broadcasts have a small red HD+ sticker on them. Some of them even stream in UHD 4K, though the only way you'll know if you've lucked upon one of the 4K feeds is by clicking on the photo, entering the room and checking out the streaming options available.

Once you've purchased tokens at BongaCams, you're upgraded to a lifetime Gold membership level. One of the benefits you get of being a Gold member is that you can then watch the video window in a full screen mode. The site also has a range of promotions ongoing which give away free tokens, especially if you're using a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet in order to watch a session and buy tokens. All purchases made via the mobile version of the platform come with free extra tokens. Another benefit at BongaCams is that you can stream a cam session directly to your TV. 

Chaturbate.com

Chaturbate is another freemium cam site with a huge selection of HD plus and 4K cam rooms. This platform has one of the largest selections of live video chat shows to choose from, with over 4,000 hosts streaming live day and night. The performers at Chaturbate range from first-time at-home amateurs experimenting with some naughty bedroom games in front a cam feed to leading celebrity NSFW entertainers taking time out between film shoots and giving their fans an opportunity to get to know them in the most intimate way possible.

Visit Chaturbate

While the selection of HD plus cam feeds is huge and there's probably more 4K streams at this site than any other cheap webcam site, there's no way to filter out the rooms with the lesser resolution options. The only you can know what quality of broadcast the model offers is by entering their room and seeing if there's an HD icon on the bottom right of the video. If there is, you can click on it to see whether the feed caps out at 720p, 1080p or 2180p.

While not all the performers at Chaturbate will enter a private show mode, generally those broadcasting in HD plus and higher do. At Chaturbate, almost all the hosts offer a free recording of their 1on1 sessions at no extra cost and some even include C2C in their rates. If you don't want to go into an exclusive show mode and pay by the minute, but want some face-to-face chat, many of the rooms will let you open your cam feed in the free open cam rooms for a small tip.

Streamate.com

Streamate is a great choice for those who like to keep a tight control over how much they're spending at a cam site. Instead of purchasing credits or tokens in order to tip a model or pay for a private show, at Streamate you link a payment method such as a credit card or PayPal account to your profile and are charged directly to your preferred payment option. And, the site sets a daily cap on how much you spend so you don't have to worry about racking up high charges. 

Visit Streamate

Expect to find a choice of around 1,000 live video chat shows streaming at Streamate 24/7, almost all of which are hosted by skilled and experienced webcam models. Streamate is a particularly good choice if you're looking for a cam girl with attributes not often found at other sites such as body-builders, chubby GILFs, hosts with body modifications such as piercings and those specializing in unique niches such as sleep shows and intense BDSM acts.

While there's no way to narrow the options to only those using HD plus feeds, the overwhelming majority of the rooms are 720p or 1080p enabled. When you enter a live cam session, there's no indication of which broadcasting quality the host is using. The video shows just two options — Raw or Auto. Raw means the video is coming though in the highest streaming resolution the room offers. If you select Auto, you can choose from the options and see if the room is either HD, HD plus or 4K enabled.

LiveJasmin.com

LiveJasmin's 1,200 or so live cam chat rooms all feature experienced and skilled webcam hosts including some of the most in-demand performers who broadcast exclusively at LiveJasmin. You can find top video chat models in every category from stunning 18+ cover girls to seductive MILFS and mature cam models and even famed dominatrices. Every room here offers HD feeds with a few of the LiveJasmin ladies and gentlemen offering HD+ (1080p) as a resolution option.

Visit LiveJasmin

To find out if a room is offering live streams in an HD plus feed you have to go into the chat room and hover over the video window. On the bottom left of the window a small settings icon appears showing which broadcasting options are available. Unfortunately the majority of performers are still only offering SD (480p) or HD (720p).

Private show rates at LiveJasmin don't include the use of C2C. If you want to open your cam feed you'll have to pay an additional $1-2 a minute more over the standard per-minute price. However, there are some deals to be had including the free credits special listed below. Some rooms offer Hot Deals. If you see a photo with a Hot Deal sticker on it, it indicates the model has slashed her 1on1 show prices by up to 40%. This though is a snooze and you'll lose offer. A Hot Deal only lasts 5 minutes so it's a case of grab the opportunity the moment you see it as chances are, when you come back to the room, the deal will be over.

Compare Prices & Benefits

The following tables shows at a glance the cheapest and average private show rates of the above 5 cheap HD plus cam sites. You can also compare other benefits offered by each platform such as whether you can open your cam feed in a free tip-fueled cam room and if you get a free recording of a private session. 

Free Credit/Token Giveaways

Many platforms give away credits/tokens you can spend on a private show or tipping the model in an open cam room. Streamate doesn't because quite simply, you don't use tokens on the site to pay for your fun.

• At Stripchat you don't have to buy tokens in order to get freebies. It's more a matter of luck. Every hour Stripchat holds a raffle giving away 50 tokens to online members.
• At BongaCams, they gift users 10 free tokens just for verifying a phone number or email address. You'll also get 10 free tokens added onto your first purchase of BongaCams tokens. The best way though to score freebies at BongaCams is to buy tokens using the site's mobile platform. Every purchase made this way gets up to 100 free tokens.
• At Chaturbate, you'll get a one-time gift of 200 tokens if you take out a VIP membership package. The upgraded level gives you a host of benefits but does come at cost of $19.95 a month. The membership fee though is actually slightly cheaper than if you buy 200 tokens as a standalone bundle. It's certainly worth becoming a VIP member for one month and scoring the tokens as well as all the upgraded perks you'll get. 
• At LiveJasmin you can get 9.99 free tokens if you add a credit card as a payment method and verify the card's details (no purchase necessary).

Conclusion

When it comes to not only a huge selection of HD rooms, but also HD plus and 4K options, Stripchat is a great cam site option. Almost all shows offer a selection of qualities to suit your bandwidth and monitor resolution. Prices for a private HD cam session are extremely competitive and best of all, you can record almost any free show paying just a small per-minute fee.
