Questions about each
Royal Cams
Are there free shows to watch?+
Free shows are listed as available, and 2,346 models are online at a time, so there is a way to browse before spending. Free credits come only through Occasional bonus credits via promotions, which keeps browsing free and private shows separate.
Which payment methods does it take?+
Payment runs through credit card, debit card and prepaid card. A prepaid card works alongside the usual card types, and PayPal covers wallet users. Nothing further is listed, so check the method you prefer before topping up.
Stripchat
Does Stripchat have free shows?+
Yes. Public shows cost nothing to watch, and the catalogue is large with 9,234 models online at the time of checking. The same free public coverage is listed on most of the sites compared, so the deciding factors are the show formats and price per minute rather than free entry alone.
What does a private show cost per minute?+
Private shows are priced per minute by the performer, at $0.40 to $7.50. That range is wider than several of the compared sites, and it is worth checking the stated rate before a session starts, since the top of the range is well above the €0.62 across the sites compared.
