5 Cheap Cam Sites Better Than Skype

Skype used to be the go-to platform for live video chat. It was an easy way to start a 2-way video hook-up with a gorgeous model no matter where in the world they were located. That all changed in 2018 when Skype declared that non-PG activity was off bounds and violated its terms of use, kicking off users that advertised their services on the site.

Today though there are far better options than Skype and certainly far cheaper ways to enjoy a private chat with a new online pal. The following are not only safe and secure Skype substitute cam sites but they offer unbeatable rates, free shows, and extra perks that Skype didn't (and doesn't).

All of the above sites feature an easy-to-use webcam to webcam option, similar to the user-friendliness found on Skype. Also, apart from ImLive, they all have C2C mobile capabilities so you can enjoy a private 2-way show on the go.

How To Use Your Webcam

The major benefit that Skype offered was that with just a click of the mouse both of you could see and talk to each other. Today, most of the leading legit webcam platforms have this as a given, and in addition, some of them feature live feeds in not only HD, but HD plus, so you can get an up-close and personal crystal clear view of your partner's actions.

The Skype alternative options listed above are all extremely c2c friendly. However, occasionally you'll come across a chat host that either won't allow c2c activation, or are simply not in the mood at that particular moment. This happens less at the premium sites such as Flirt4Free, ImLive, xLoveCam and LiveJasmin, but can be found at freemium sites such as CamSoda, where amateur models perform alongside the semi-pro and pro cam stars.

2-Way Video Chat Costs

The premium sites all feature cheap private c2c inclusive rates, but most of the intimate action takes place only in paid-for sessions. At CamSoda and other freemium platforms, you can enjoy a range of free performances in the models' open rooms, but almost all will insist you pay for a private session if you want to turn on your webcam.

To open your webcam, you simply check first that the model is willing before starting a private show with them, and then select the webcam icon that either is located on the live video feed window, or next to it.

Extras & Benefits

In addition to great models and a wide range of easy to find niche performance rooms, all of the sites feature special promotions, deals and benefits that make an affordable cam session a budget-beating one. Some even give you free site credit/tokens that you can use to enjoy a totally free private cam session with a top model. Deals and promotions currently available include:

CamSoda lets you record your private show and store it in your CamSoda account where you can rewatch it as often as you like at no additional cost.

Flirt4Free has their Show Offers and Deals. Show Offers let you negotiate the per minute price with your chosen partner, and often, if you book 5 minutes or more with them, they'll cut you a break with a discounted rate. Deals are private cam coupon codes posted by the individual hosts giving additional free minutes in 1on1 cam sessions with them. They also give an attractive 120 free credits to new members who validate a credit/debit card.

ImLive has every day cheap rates, and they are currently offering a promotion giving new members who validate a credit card, $50 worth of site credits. That's essentially 50 minutes of private c2c show time with the site's cheapest cam girls.

xLoveCam is a premium site which means the models aren't meant to undress in their open rooms - unless it's a Monday. The site hosts a site-wide party on mondays where most hosts hang out in their open rooms without clothes on from the waist up. You also get a free video to watch when you verify your email address.

LiveJasmin's rates are higher than most sites, but if you 'spin the wheel' before purchasing credits you can win a discount of up to 99% off your first purchase. For low-cost privates with top models, check out rooms that have a Promo sticker on. This means the model has discounted her rates to the cheapest price of just about a $1.00 per minute.

Conclusion

One major benefit that cam sites have that Skype didn't is that of consumer satisfaction. If the show isn't up to standard, the streaming faulty, or the performer refuses to do something she had agreed upon prior to starting the session, the platform has your back. All sites have a customer service center reachable either by email, direct phone line, or even 24/7 online direct support.

Another major bonus that makes these sites better alternatives to Skype is that your personal and financial data is protected by state-of-the-art multi-layer security protocols that encrypt all info so it can't be used by nefarious intruders. You pay the site and the site pays the performers. You should never give out any information (personal or financial) to the model. If the performer asks for data that you consider not necessary and can put your privacy at risk, inform the site immediately.

All of the sites listed in this round-up offer discounted private cam sessions, similar (yet better) to those that be found on Skype. CamSoda though not only features low-cost 1on1 sessions, but free shows for multiple viewers and an easy-to use 2way video chat feature.
