Best Cam Sites To Work For 2022
1. Stripchat - Best Overall
Stripchat is #1 in our list for one simple reason: highest average model earnings.
Of all the cam sites we've tested, Stripchat gives the most take-home pay to the average model, due to a nice mixture of high traffic, viewers who are accustomed to spending big through pay-per-minute private and exclusive chats, and a high percentage of earnings that the model gets to keep.
Stripchat is a great choice for new models that need to earn as much as possible in their first few weeks. The site offers up to 60% rev share to models, and has a special feature where new models get boosted site placement for 2 weeks to help you get established and earn real money in your first few weeks.
The downside of Stripchat is that the viewer community expects to see mostly freemium shows and to pay models via tips. This can be great for models who know how to earn tips, and for the best models can result in even higher earnings than pay-per-minute private and exclusive chat sites, but you should research how to maximize tips in your cam show before you start to make sure you get the most out of your initial 2 week boosted placement.
That said, Stripchat does also offer Private Shows, Cam2Cam Shows and Spy Shows where you can get paid by the minute and get to set your own price, which is a huge plus. The best strategy on Stripchat is to attract viewers in your freemium show, and then entice them into taking you private where you'll get paid by the minute at whatever price you set. With this strategy, your earnings on Stripchat are nearly unlimited.
Stripchat also has nice modern technology that's easy to use, as well as good privacy controls for the model and contests that pay out an extra $20,000 to models each month. Lastly, an important note is that Stripchat broadcasts your show to both Stripchat.com and XhamsterLive.com, which doubles the viewership and makes the total audience competitive with Chaturbate.
Stripchat is simply the best site for most beginner camgirls and we recommend it as the #1 choice for any webcam model who is just getting started and wants maximize their earnings.

2. Chaturbate - Highest Earnings Potential
Chaturbate is the largest cam site in the world by traffic, with over 300 million monthly visitors. It's also the fastest cam site with the most robust technology.
Chaturbate is a great cam site to work for, but it is more competitive than Xmodels. Chaturbate has more models than any other cam site, meaning you have to be a top performer to do really well.
The best models on Chaturbate make huge amounts of money, with some models raking in over $1 million per year, and a large number of models earning at least $20,000 per month. However, since Chaturbate is so competitive, the average Chaturbate model actually earns less than the average model on Xmodels, which is why we ranked in #2.
The key question to ask yourself when deciding whether Chaturbate is right for you is whether you feel you can entertain a room full of people, vs. performing in 1-on-1 or more intimate chats. To maximize your earnings on Chaturbate, you will need to be able to entertain a large audience all at once.
Another nice benefit of Chaturbate is that you get to keep 60% of your earnings, which is high compared to most cam sites, and they pay out weekly, so you can start getting paid rather quickly.
Overall, we recommend Chaturbate if you want to absolutely maximize your earnings potential and are willing to dedicate the time and energy to become a top performer on the site.
Chaturbate at a glance:
- Type: Tokens & pay-per-minute private chats
- Monthly traffic: 320,840,000 viewers
- Average model pay: $6,420 / mo
- Range of model pay: $3,000 - $20,000 / mo
- Percent of revenue model keeps: 60%
- Payout frequency: Weekly

3. Camsoda - Best For Instant Earnings
Camsoda is a relatively high traffic cam site with good a revenue share for models. Performers on Camsoda get to keep 55% of their earnings, which is a better than most cam sites. Despite this, Camsoda is lower in our list because of the viewer audience. Most viewers on Camsoda are there to see free shows, and only a small handful want to tip. Top Camsoda models can still earn a good amount from camming, but it's harder than on other cam sites.
Where Camsoda really shines is for models who want to use their cam site to also drive sales of photos and videos. The top Camsoda models actually make more money from selling photos and videos to viewers than they do from the tips they receive directly from actual camming.
If you want to sell photos and videos in addition to camming, Camsoda could be a good choice for you.
Camsoda at a glance:
- Type: tokens + sell photo & videos
- Monthly traffic: 66,480,000 viewers
- Average model pay: $5,890 / mo
- Range of model pay: $3,500 - $11,000 / mo
- Percent of revenue model keeps: 55%
- Payout frequency: Weekly
Average Model Review: 4.6 stars

4. BongaCams - Highest Percentage Paid To Model
BongaCams is the 2nd largest cam girl site on the internet, with 310 million monthly visitors. It has extremely high traffic, which means the top models and earn a huge amount.
BongaCams is a good choice if you want to work for tips in a free show with very high traffic. It pays out the highest % of revenue to the model of any cam site online today. It generally has great reviews from the models who use it.
The one place BongaCams falls down is if you want to primarily do pay-per-minute private or exclusive chats. BongaCams is very public, and its features for supporting private and exclusive chat are not as good as other cam sites. Additionally, most viewers on BongaCams expect to see free shows and to be able to pay through tips rather than pay-per-minute.
BongaCams at a glance:
- Type: tokens only
- Monthly traffic: 343,330,000 viewers
- Average model pay: $4,250 / mo
- Range of model pay: $3,000 - $8,000 / mo
- Percent of revenue model keeps: 60 - 90%
- Payout frequency: Every 2 weeks
Average Model Review: 4.5 stars

5. LiveJasmin - Best For Double-Dipping
LiveJasmin claims to be the #1 webcam site in the world, but they are actually #3 by traffic (both Chaturbate and BongaCams are slightly larger). That said, LiveJasmin is clearly in the top 3, and of the top sites is definitely the best one for models.
Unlike the other super-high-traffic cam sites, LiveJasmin relies more on pay-per-minute private sessions than token-based tipping, which typically works out to more earnings for the average model. On top of that, LiveJasmin offers a greater percentage of earnings available for the model to take home, so LiveJasmin revenue for the model can be fairly good and competitive with other top cam girl sites.
One of the best features of LiveJasmin is that it allows cam-splitting, so you can broadcast to LiveJasmin at the same time you're broadcasting to other sites and "double-dip" with your earnings. For this reason, many models log onto LiveJasmin in a second browser tab and leave their LiveJasmin show on at the same time as they're camming on their primary site like Xmodels or Chaturbate. Being on 2 sites at the same time means more time earning big in pay-per-minute private & exclusive chats, and less time sitting around waiting.
Overall - it's a great site if you want to get maximum exposure and have very high traffic.
LiveJasmin at a glance:
- Type: tokens & pay-per-minute private chat
- Monthly traffic: 244,900,000 viewers
- Average model pay: $3.970 / mo
- Range of model pay: $2,000 - $7,500 / mo
- Percent of revenue model keeps: 30 - 80%
- Payout frequency: Every 2 weeks
Average Model Review: 4.4 stars

6. Streamate - Best For Private & Exclusive
Streamate is one of the best cam sites out there and an excellent choice for any model who wants to do camming as a side thing for income but cares about keeping it super private and not having friends or family run into you.
Streamate has built up an excellent community of high-paying viewers, and almost every viewer expects to do everything in private or exclusive chats, so you never have to show yourself publicly if you don't want to. Additionally, Streamate has some of the best privacy settings, allowing you to precisely control who can see what. Many Streamate models set their privacy settings so that only paying members of the site can discover and see them. Additionally, you can block viewers in certain geographies like your home state or city, so you don't have to worry about friends or family seeing you on there.
Despite the privacy, Streamate models can earn a lot of money because viewers on streamate are higher-end and willing to spend a lot for models they love.
We recommend Streamate for models who are newer to camming and want to dip their toes into making extra money through camming, while still having great control over their privacy.
Streamate at a glance:
- Type: Pay-per-minute private & exclusive chats
- Monthly traffic: 23,450,000 viewers
- Average model pay: $3,350 / mo
- Range of model pay: $2,000 - $7,000 / mo
- Percent of revenue model keeps: 30%
- Payout frequency: Weekly
