- Interactive toys are supported, alongside free chat, gold shows and cam2cam.
- 1,451 models are listed, a wide pool for a free show site.

Questions about each
BabeStation
Does BabeStation have free shows?+
Yes, free shows are part of the offer and the show types list free chat, gold shows and cam2cam alongside them. Adults can use free chat and free shows to look around, then move to gold shows or a private session if they want to pay. Free access means the browsing side costs nothing on its own.
What does a private show cost per minute?+
Rates are set by each model rather than by the site, so the spread is wide. The ranking figures put the middle of the range below €0.87, with the lower end at €0.19 and the upper end at €5.26. Check the rate on the model page before a session starts.
CAM4
How much does a private show cost on CAM4?+
Private show fees run $0.99 to $4.99, and that is the range to set aside before booking. Each performer sets a rate within it, so the final figure depends on who you book. Gold show and group formats are also available.
Is there anything to watch for free?+
Yes. Free shows are part of the site, so browsing needs no spend at all. You can look through those first and only move to a paid private or group show if you want to. The first token purchase also adds 15% bonus on first purchase.
