Chaturbate vs. Cam4

Today we are thrilled to share something I have been working on for a while; we compared to Cam4 to Chaturbate in-depth to see which free cam site is better?

Clearly both offer both free sex cams options but alongside the premium private xxx cam shows. However, in our Cam4 or Chaturbate direct comparison we took lots of time to document all the facts about each of these webcam chat sites.

With all the freemium cam sites out there, only a small handful dominate the genre and face off for the industry’s most prestigious accolades. In 2015, CAM4 prevailed as the XBIZ Adult Site of the Year, and considering the sheer star power of their platform, it’s no surprise.

Since their big win at the XBIZ Awards, CAM4 has made some impressive power moves, like partnering with sex toy manufacturer Kiroo to improve their interactive “live touch” interface and introducing their very own VR cam experience. But CAM4’s ambition doesn’t stop there.

The platform even sponsored sex-positive charity events and shared the spotlight with jewelry designer Chris Habana for 2019’s New York Fashion Week. Despite all of these impressive achievements, however, CAM4’s popularity as a cam site pales in comparison to its successor, Chaturbate, which remains one of the fastest-growing adult entertainment platforms on the web. We actually listed Cam4 on our popular post with sites like Chaturbate.

While some might contend Chaturbate.com is in a class of it’s own as the most visited adult webcam site on planet earth, we were not so fast to dismiss cam4. Many people also may not realize that cam4.com get literally millions of visitors each month. Approximately 16 million actually and many people would be surprised to learn that in some ways Chaturbate was modeled around Cam4 but geared towards being model technologically advanced and cam girl-friendly.

Italy, Francy, Brazil and then Spain are countries where Cam4 is actually nearly as popular as Chaturbate.

Before I dive into the direct comparison of Cam4 vs Chaturbate I should also mention that both the cam4 reviews and the chaturbate reviews drill down even deeper on what makes each of these 2 leading free cams websites popular and unique.

As far as chaterbate though, a cam site founded in 2011, they see an enormous flow of traffic–over forty-four million visitors every month with new models and members signing up every day. These two cam sites are strikingly similar in the features they offer, so what sets these powerful platforms apart? Let’s find out.

I hope you enjoyed a direct comparison of two of the top free cam sites. Realize we have more head to head comparisons like Chaturbate vs. Cam4. We also did a similar direct feature and cost comparisons with chaturbate vs myfreecams and chaturbate vs LiveJasmin. We even compared LiveJasmin vs Streamate.

To wrap this comparison up I would also emphasize the key differences in using sex cams from your phone.

Chaturbate Mobile Compared to Cam4 Mobile

This is one area where the edge really has to go to Chaturbate mobile.  The UX (user experience) using chaterbate from smartphones and handheld devices is superb and lightning-fast.

Moreover, the scaling option to adjust screen size is not lost once you transition from desktop to chaturbate mobile; it’s in some ways even better.

The standout functionalities chaturbate offers in the realm of mobile sex cams are really quite far out in front of most of the best cam sites. While cam4 mobile is easy enough to use, they have a fair amount of work to catch up to all the enhancements that chaturbate mobile brings to the table as far as using adult cams on your phone.

Summary & Findings of our Comparison of Chaturbate and Cam4  

Personally speaking, CAM4’s features and web design really blew me out of the water!

CAM4.com has a great membership for its price and rewards loyal users by giving them access to shows and future site improvements. My only criticism–and perhaps the reason Chaturbate pulls so far ahead of most freemium sites in popularity–is that CAM4 and similar sites seem to be a little too sales focused.

Where I start to lose some more love for cam4 is when I see the annoying popups for what they call, ‘cam4ultimate’. Cam4Ultimate (for those that don’t know) is just a literal clone of streamate and considering streamate (reviews at that link) is the site we rank #1 overall among all live sex cams, it’s kinda telling that Cam4 is pitching a white label version of another platform as the ultimate version of their own site. Streamate.com is the Cadillac of adult cams and if you are not yet a member of that site it’s also one to make sure to check out.

I also noticed that a lot of their features might make the site fun for members who intend to spend, but not for those who prioritize socializing, Chaturbate is a much more relaxed environment. That being said, both of these platforms are a delight to browse on, and worth checking out Cam4 girls for a spin.

All said and done, there is still a clear edge to Chaturbate.com in this editor’s opinion.
