Anybody can throw together a “top 10 cam sites” list. A recommendation is only worth something if you know how it was arrived at. So this page lays out exactly how we test, what we measure and how we decide. If you think we’ve got something wrong, let us know.

Ground rules

  1. We test as ordinary customers. We sign up and pay the way any reader would, and we don’t tell the platform we’re reviewing it.
  2. We measure what matters to beginners. Discretion, real costs, safety and support come before features.
  3. Everything gets a date. Prices, billing names and policies change, so every figure says when we last checked it.
  4. Money and rankings stay apart. Commissions don’t affect the order. See our affiliate disclosure.

The test, step by step

Someone on our team goes through the same steps for every platform.

1. Signing up

  • Create an account with a brand-new email address used only for that site.
  • Note what information the site asks for, whether it wants a card at sign-up, and whether age verification applies in the tester’s state.
  • Check the security options: password rules, two-factor authentication.

2. Buying

  • Buy the smallest token or credit pack on offer, with a personal US card.
  • Screenshot the checkout page and note anything already ticked, the currency and any billing name shown.
  • Write down the price per token or credit.

3. The statement

  • Record the billing name as it appears when pending and once posted, on the card statement and in the banking app.
  • Note any foreign transaction fee.
  • All of this goes into our billing names table.

4. Using the site

  • Browse as a guest and as a member, on a computer, an iPad and a phone.
  • Rate how clear the menus, prices and private show rates are.
  • Tip, and where it makes sense, try a short private or spy show.

5. Support

We send the same three questions through every channel the site offers:

  1. “What will appear on my card statement?”
  2. “Do token purchases renew automatically?”
  3. “How do I close my account?”

We time how long a useful answer takes and check whether it’s right. The results feed our support comparison.

6. Memberships and leaving

  • If the site has a membership, we sign up and cancel straight away, counting the steps.
  • We close the account and watch for any further charges over the next two billing cycles.

Pages on a particular topic, like best for conversation, shift the weights to suit and say so.

How often we re-test

Prices and billing names get checked at least every six months, and any time a reader tells us something’s changed. The full test is repeated at least once a year for each platform.

Every page shows the date it was last updated. Anything we haven’t confirmed ourselves yet is marked approx.

What we won’t do

  • Take money for being listed, for a better position, or for a review.
  • Let a platform read our content before it’s published.
  • Publish explicit images or video.
  • Identify performers or publish anything personal about them.

Corrections

If a price, billing name or policy has changed, or you think we’ve made a mistake, write to us through the contact page. We fix errors quickly, and when a correction matters, we say so at the end of the article.
