I like using cam4.com, but sometimes I want an alternative.

I’ve always been a fan of Cam4.com both to watch and to broadcast on, and while the site does have some great features, I’m always up for something new. The cam4 platform does feature a dedicated community, a wide variety of content not just the live cams and is generally easy to use.

Yet sometimes you just want something different though, and there are a few downsides I want to avoid. For me, as a camgirl, the main downside at Cam4 for me is the number of people who come into my room and want to know where I am physically, as though they want to arrange an IRL date.

No, cam sites are not dating sites!

But if it is just for chatting then I’m all for cam4, but there are several excellent alternatives to Cam4 that have a similar feel but are just, well, different.

Let me go through them one at a time.

Sites like Cam4.com

Chaturbate

One of the two biggest cam site it is therefore one of the most popular alternatives to Cam4, and for good reason. The site boasts a massive list of both models and viewers. With a range of prices, styles, countries and languages it is easy to find what you want here.

What I love about Chaturbate is how easy it is for me to just hang out while broadcasting and not do anything in particular. As a viewer I like the range of girls on offer. I can receive and give tips to encourage them to do particular things, on tip menus typically. And with the range of “bots” that automate parts of the show like the aforementioned tipping, or games, or special shows it is a site full of potential.

Categories and tags make it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. The site is just clean and intuitive, rarely does anything go wrong. I can also put money in by buying tokens or get paid out and pocket my tips, via a range of different methods. I tend to use crypto both for depositing and withdrawing, but other ways like card for buying tokens work fine too.

If you haven’t tried it then this is a no-brainer to add to your list beside Cam4.

MyFreeCams

The OG tipping site “MyFreeCams”, often abbreviated as MFC, is another good option. This site is known for its high-quality broadcasters, you get a lot of hot girl-next-door American camgirls here, and a strong sense of community with member chat rooms and so on. They are the inventors of the tipping for flashing style of camming and while private shows exist it is tips that make the site work.

The site also offers a wide range of girls, catering to most preferences you might have.

One big downside compared to Cam4 is there are no real cocks here anywhere. No couples, no gays, no chicks-with-dicks. This is a CIS girl-only site and while I’m happy to watch that because I’m more of a tit-loving girl if you want to see girls taking on real cocks, not plastic ones, then MFC will be a letdown.

However, if you only go to the girl-only parts of Cam4 then MFC can be a drop-in replacement. Big, community, easy to use, fun. It’s good!

BongaCams

Despite having been around for many years BongaCams is still a lesser-known, but equally impressive, alternative to Cam4. What sets BongaCams apart is its focus on European performers, so if blond European girls with hot Euro accents turn you on them you need to check it out right away.

Streams here are also generally very good quality, and with a nice easy to use chat interface Bonga is a good replacement for Cam4. Girls camming here also tend to have a bit less expectations about tipping, so you may find prices lower, on the other hand that makes it a less profitable site for a camgirl and we tend to always splitcam here as tips fail to add up much.

For you as the viewer that means our attention will be split while we are splitcamming. Expect more silences or less response. But if you are a tipper or want to do a private show then Bongcams works just fine. You’ll find couples, guys, trans and all sorts here just like you would at Cam4 so yes it is a good alternative.

The site is smaller though, just hundreds instead of thousands of models, but that should be enough unless you have some very niche fetish you need serving.

LiveJasmin or Flirt4Free

LiveJasmin, like Flirt4Free, are premium options that offers a more polished and professional camming show. The sites are unrelated except in style, and both offer very high-quality streams and a selected list of camgirls. What I appreciate about LiveJasmin is its emphasis on quality over quantity. I’m not hot or young enough myself to broadcast there, but I’ll watch other girls working on that site and enjoy how they get their pose and clothes and makeup and hair all just so.

One of the standout features of LiveJasmin is its emphasis on private shows. While you can still

F4F is the same, and also has a great community spirit going on in their forum, though this tends to be monopolized by the old regular guys. Both of these sites are great if you want to upgrade your camming experience and don’t mind paying for it because, as I said, they are premium.

Expect to pay more for a private video chat room at LJ or F4F, and don’t expect to get much for tips except for maybe flashes. Flirt4free does offer a deals system though that can help to keep costs under control. And Livejasmin has discounts as well.

Want to upgrade? Try out either of them.

Oh, and if you want hot boys not girls, then F4F has a particularly good range of hunks, twinks and just nice cocks to look at.

Stripchat

Stripchat is another excellent alternative that offers the second widest range, after CB, with more performers and categories than you can imagine.

Searching works particularly well here, with categories, tags, interests, room title search and more. If there is something very specific you want, then find it here. Outdoor girls is a particular favorite here, if you want to watch a girl in a coffee shop trying to to groan when people tip her Lush then this is the site for you.

• Stripchat: Improved searching

They also are obviously doing some kind of recommendation engine as it often “recommends” just the kind of girl I like to watch, I suppose based on who I’ve watched before. I also broadcast here and as I’m not one of the stars here my room is pretty quiet, do check it out and see if I am online when you read this.

Good country filters automatically offer me girls in the country that I am located in (or pretending to be in using a VPN), and that is similar to how cam4 focuses on location.

As a viewer, I think the recommendation engine is incredibly useful. It saves me time by suggesting performers that match my preferences, which means I can spend more time enjoying the shows rather than searching for them.

Additionally, the quality of the streams is consistently high, and the interactive features like tipping games and fan clubs add an extra layer of fun to the experience. Overall, Stripchat is a solid choice as a cam4 alternative.

Want to model there? I can recommend it but only if you put in the work during your “new tag” period to build up your fan base. And if you can do fist cam shows (which I can’t) then SC is your best choice to offer that.

ImLive

ImLive is another solid alternative to Cam4 that has been around for quite some time. This site offers a diverse range of performers from all over the world, including amateurs and professional models.

What makes ImLive stand out is its steady reputation for many years and a good selection of the usual features, such as private shows, group chats, they have some good ideas for multi-view options where you watch two girls at the same time, or more, and also competitions where two different girls try to get more votes while doing something like a dildo blowjob etc.

That’s fun to watch!

So, if you’re like me and easily get bored then have a change of scenery, give one of these alternatives a try. You might just discover a new favorite!
