Our verdict on each
Chaturbate
Chaturbate suits adults who want free shows and a broad token-priced catalogue, and who can absorb a higher private show rate. The site holds an overall score of 6.5, with private shows listed at $0.60 to $9 per minute, a clear step up from the cheapest alternatives.
Jerkmate
Jerkmate suits adults who want free public chat first and a premium roster afterwards, without a paid membership. It runs on credit card alone, so anyone paying by other methods should look elsewhere.
