The payment methods accepted by the sites vary from region to region. For example, if you want to pay by phone at a cam site, most won't provide this option to visitors entering the site from an US IP address. On the other hand, paying by a brand name gift card may not be an option offered if you're not based in the US and a few other regions. However, all of the above sites accept PayPal and cryptocurrencies no matter where you're based.
How To Pay Without A Credit Card
Most of the cam sites automatically bring up a credit card as the payment option. If this happens, all you need to do is select the Change Payment Method that appears in the payment page or simply click on another box offering a different option.
The table below lists the cam sites and the major payment options they accept (excluding credit cards). If one of the options doesn't appear when you enter the site, this means it isn't an acceptable form of payment for your region.

Premium Vs Freemium Cam Sites
Out of the five cam sites that don't require credit cards, two of them (Flirt4Free and LiveJasmin) are premium sites, and three (CamSoda, Chaturbate, and Stripchat) are freemium platforms. The main difference between the two different types of cam sites is that at a freemium live video chat site - the models have no restrictions on what they can do in their open chat rooms. This means anyone can watch a live non-PG show without having to pay up-front and the viewers are encouraged to tip the performer in order to see a specific act. At the premium cam platforms, all the 18+ action is restricted to a paid-for video call, with the performers keeping their privates covered in their open hang-outs.
However, at the premium cam sites, all the models are vetted prior to being allowed to broadcast on the platform. This means most are semi-pro and pro models, with HD feeds prevalent in most rooms and all models are private show friendly with the overwhelming majority of them allowing C2C shows.
At the freemium sites, anyone can set up a room which means there's no minimum standard for streaming quality, and a significant number of the mainly amateur performers prefer to perform for tips, as opposed to entering a private show mode. And even then, those that will close the curtain and make it an exclusive session, may not allow you to open your webcam and turn into a 2-way visual experience.

Conclusion
The best cam site to go to if you don't want to use a credit card all depends on the form of payment you do want to use. For example, if you want to redeem the value of a brand name gift card for cam site credits/tokens, Flirt4Free, Stripchat and LiveJasmin are your best options. If you prefer to pay using a wire transfer, then CamSoda, Chaturbate and LiveJasmin are worth checking out.
If PayPal and a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, are your preferred payment method, then all of the sites are great options. In this case, CamSoda is the best place to start your cam quest. It's got a huge variety of performers, free open video chat shows, cheap private cam rates, and the option to record a paid-for show and keep a copy of the session in your CamSoda account.
