Bottom Line: |
I’ve been on My Free Cams for a couple of years now, but joined Chaturbate to broaden my horizons and really love how it offers something different.
The biggest difference is that it’s not just girls, but guys, transexuals and most importantly COUPLES who can chat.
This is banned on MFC, so on CB you get a lot of live hardcore action ranging from blowjobs to threesomes and everything in between. I have to say some of the models’ talents are incredible and could hold their own against the pros.
The interface is similar to MFC in that you can filter by region, however it doesn’t automatically refresh as it does on MFC, and the thumbnail update frequency isn’t as good. However, one huge advantage over MFC is the ‘followed models’ tab which shows thumbnails for models who are online that you follow. This makes it so much easier to browse than MFC.
Once in the rooms there are a few differences. Models can set chosen members as moderators if they wish. This means they can get on with the show rather than have to moderate too. Another difference is that models have certain plug-ins that help them run a room. These include tools to keep track of targets, tip jars, ‘crazy ticket’ shows where you can buy tokens to see a show when it is hidden etc. Many of these tools mean it can be more expensive than MFC if you aren’t someone who normally tips, but I think the pros outweigh the cons here.
Another difference is that models can set their private cam rates. This is generally a good thing in that most are cheaper-per-minute that MFC. I’ve seen some models charge as little as 18tpm, and typically the most expensive is 60tpm which is the same as MFC. I have seen a couple of models charge more, though.
One big negative is that the model can also choose whether members can record private shows. This leaves one huge benefit of privates in the hands of models. When you go to start a private, it will tell you their rate and whether you can save the show or not.
All models I have encountered are polite and willing. Like MFC there can sometimes be bit of a language barrier, but it’s nothing that use of animated GIF emojis can’t overcome! The members on CB seem a lot less respectful than on MFC, however, and seem a lot more inclined to bark orders/instructions at models - and this is despite moderators who can mute and/or boot members out of rooms.
Overall I think I prefer Chaturbate to My Free Cams, although MFC’s advantage is the sheer number of models. The interface is more refined, the content is more varied as it includes hardcore, the plug-ins models can use really make a difference and overall it is better value than MFC.
