Each platform has its own currency, its own pack sizes and its own way of showing prices, so comparing them is a headache. Here everything is converted into one unit: US dollars.
Tokens and credits, quickly
- Token sites (
Chaturbate, 
Stripchat, 
BongaCams, 
MyFreeCams): 1 token ≈ 5 to 12 cents. - Credit sites (
LiveJasmin, 
Flirt4Free): 1 credit ≈ $1.
A price that looks steep on a token site (“90 tokens a minute”) and one that looks cheap on a credit site (“2.99 credits a minute”) can come out much the same in dollars. See tokens explained.

Getting more for your money
- Move up to a mid-size pack once you know you’ll use it. The savings start at around 500 tokens.
- Look out for promotions. Several sites discount packs on your first purchase or on certain days.
- Try spy and group shows before going fully private.
- Dodge foreign transaction fees by using a card that doesn’t charge them. See hidden fees.
