Cam sites rarely show prices in money. They use tokens, credits, or a per-minute rate in a site currency. The show might be the same; the arithmetic is not.
Tokens
Used on public grids such as Chaturbate, Stripchat, CAM4, BongaCams and MyFreeCams. You buy a pack, and tips, menus and privates are priced in tokens. Bigger packs usually make each token cheaper.
Credits
Used on private-led sites such as ImLive, Flirt4Free and OleCams. Credits work like a balance; privates draw credits per minute. Some sites set a credit close to one unit of money, which makes the sum easier.
Per-minute in money
Some premium sites quote the private rate directly per minute. It is the clearest model and the easiest to budget.
How to compare
- Find the price of the pack you would actually buy.
- Divide by the number of tokens or credits. That is your real unit price.
- Multiply by the per-minute rate of the private you want.
Now you have a per-minute figure in money that you can compare across sites. Do it once per site and write it down.
Watch for
- Promo bonuses that make the first pack look cheaper than later ones. See reading cam bonuses.
- Minimum balances needed to enter a private.
- Chat that needs a positive balance even when the room is free.
