What cam sites really cost, in plain dollars.
Cam sites hide the price behind “tokens” so you can’t easily tell what you’re spending. We bought the tokens, did the math, and turned every rate back into real dollars per minute. No sticker-price tricks, no ranking sold to the highest bidder.

The 3 things you need to know
Cam-site jargon, decoded, so the numbers below actually make sense.
What’s a “token”?
The fake currency every cam site uses. You buy tokens, then spend them per minute. We convert them back to real dollars.
“Private” vs “Spy”
A private is a one-on-one show. Spy means quietly watching someone else’s private, much cheaper, if you just want to look.
Why a price range?
Each model sets her own rate, so a show costs somewhere between a low and high price. We show the realistic band, not a fake single number.
Every site, ranked by real cost
Cheapest to watch at the top. Tap any column to re-sort, by private price, the cheap “spy” price, or how many trackers a site runs.

Click any column to sort. Real cost/min is a floor — the cheapest honest rate (smallest-pack token price x the platform’s documented minimum). It rises with the model; each review shows the range. A dash means we haven’t verified that figure yet — never a guess.
What will your budget actually get you?
Type in a budget, or a number of minutes, and see the real cost on every site instantly. This is the number cam sites don’t want you to do in your head.
| Platform | Private (minutes) | Spy (minutes) |
|---|---|---|
| ImLive | 7.2–43 min | — |
| LiveJasmin | 13–32 min | — |
| Cam4 | 6.9–21 min | 17–42 min |
| BongaCams | 5.6–17 min | 25–50 min |
| Chaturbate | 5.1–15 min | 18–76 min |
| Stripchat | 7.6–15 min | 23–57 min |
| CamSoda | 4.0–12 min | 18–30 min |
| Jerkmate | 5.0–10 min | — |
| MyFreeCams | 8.3 min | 25 min |
Figures use the smallest-pack token price (the worst case, what a first-timer pays) times the realistic per-minute rate range. Buying larger token packs lowers these. A dash means the platform doesn’t offer that mode or we haven’t verified it. Rates rise with the model, this is the honest floor-to-typical band, not a guarantee.
Why you can trust these numbers
Most “top cam sites” lists are ordered by who pays the most per signup. We disclose every affiliate link and never let it move a number in the table. When a site is a bad deal, we say so, even when it pays us. Our top picks above are a separate, clearly labelled recommendation, so you can ignore them and read the raw numbers if you’d rather.
