How we rate cam sites
Last updated: 26 September 2026
Rankings on review sites are often quietly for sale. Ours aren’t. This page explains exactly how scores are made, so you can judge them yourself.
Scoring criteria and weights
Each platform gets a score from 1 to 5 on seven criteria. The overall score is the weighted average:
| Criterion | Weight | What we look at |
|---|---|---|
| Earning mechanics & pricing control | 25% | How you earn, whether you can set your own prices, the number of income streams |
| Traffic & discoverability | 20% | Audience size and geography, new-model visibility, ranking fairness |
| Payout reliability & flexibility | 15% | Frequency, minimums, methods, fees, and whether terms are published |
| Privacy & safety tools | 15% | Geo-blocking granularity, visitor controls, content protection |
| Beginner onboarding | 10% | Ease of sign-up and verification, coaching, support |
| Tools & support | 10% | Bots, toy integration, streaming software, mobile, support channels |
| Terms fairness | 5% | Clarity of terms, multistreaming rules, chargeback protection, red flags |
Every sub-score has a one-line reason on the review page.
How we check data
- We start from each platform’s official model pages (sign-up pages, FAQs, terms and help centres) and note where each number comes from.
- Where a platform doesn’t publish something or blocks access, we use recent industry sources and say “around”, or we say it isn’t published and suggest asking support. We never fill gaps with guesses.
We aim to re-check every platform at least every three months, and sooner when we hear about changes.
What we don’t do
- No hidden commercial deals. Some platforms pay us a commission when you sign up through our links; that’s how we fund the site, and it’s disclosed on every page with sign-up links. Every score still has a written reason, and every review lists the downsides, including for platforms that pay us.
- No income promises. We don’t publish “average earnings” or hourly forecasts; performer income varies too much to make them honest.
- No fake testimonials. We don’t publish anonymous star ratings or quotes we can’t trace.
- No advice to break platform rules, such as fake identities, location spoofing or off-platform payments.
The platform matcher
The matcher on our homepage uses a fixed set of rules based on how each platform works (experience level, show style, privacy, languages, multistreaming). The editorial score only breaks ties. Referral relationships aren’t part of the matcher’s data.
