Streamate Reviewed Based on its Cheapest Webcams

Streamate is a leading cam site with plenty of beautiful models available for private shows. It offers good streaming quality and multiple chat features meant to maximize your experience.

Paying for the site's premium services is done with real money on a pay-as-you-go basis instead of buying credit or token packages in advance. This payment mechanism gives you much flexibility in planning and using your budget, with you having free reign over controlling your daily spending limits.

Model Selection

At any given moment, there are around 1,000 active chat rooms on the site populating stunning models you can chat with. Each model's preview gallery indicates her current chat status; that is, whether she is online or offline and whether she is in her public room or in a one on one chat with a user.

Streamate has a very effective filter making it easy for you to find the exact type of model you would like to watch based on region, age, chat feature (i.e.Party Chat, Phone or Interactive Vibrator) body and cup size and ethnicity. The ethnicity parameter is quite extensive including performers of exotic origin, such as Native American, East Indian or Pacific Islander.

In addition, the site offers close to 40 categories covering various niches to help you define the specific type of action or attribute you would want the show to revolve around.

As a Free User

Streamate welcomes guest users. Guests can access and explore the models' public rooms, but you won't be able to chat. To chat, you will need to create your free account. While you might need to put a payment method on file, it doesn't actually cost you and money and you won't be charged for anything without it being made abundantly clear that that feature costs money.

As a Paying User

Being a paying user, you can take part in any premium activity the site offers, including its various chat modes. In public rooms, you will be able to tip the performer if you think she deserves it or if you wish her to do something special for you. You can also tip for to buy media or pay a per-minute fee for a 1 on 1 show.

As a Premium Member

Streamate has a special reward program based on your spending volume. Spending volume is calculated according to the number of days on which you have taken part in at least one paid chat session of 2 minutes or more.

The greater your spending volume is, the higher your reward level becomes. At each level, a percentage of the money you spend on the site is given back to you as credits. Higher-level means more credits. These credits can be applied to future purchases.

Show Types

Free chat - This chat takes place in the performers' public rooms. Every user can enter these rooms and join the chat. Public rooms usually do not display undressed models. But there are exceptions. From time to time, a model may decide to give up some or all of her clothes to lure users into a private show.

Many models publish their Gold Menus in their public rooms. This menu stipulates their rates for special things they  will be willing to do (e.g. stand up, dance, or flash)

Some of the open rooms on the site are referred to as a Party Chat. Practically speaking, it is just another label for a public chat.

Gold Show -This is a multi-user show that starts only if the performer meets a certain tip goal in a predetermined time period. You will have to reserve a place in the show by 'buying a ticket', that is, paying a specific sum of money decided by the model. If the show has already started without you, you will still be able to buy a ticket and join the rest of the onlookers. If the show is cancelled after you purchased a ticket, you will be refunded.

Gold Shows are filled with action, so it might be worthwhile helping the performer meet her goal.

Private Chat - In this chat mode, you go on 1on 1 with the performer. Each performer has her rate paid per minute. In a private show, the model will perform free of any inhibitions. You should use the free chat to make sure that the model is willing to perform what you want to see.

For your information, Streamate's private chats are only partially private as other users may join in. However, only you will have the privilege of turning on your webcam and chatting. The other users will not be able to see or hear you.

Exclusive Chat - If you are looking for 100% privacy with the performer banning other participants from taking part in the show, you should opt for an Exclusive Chat. This chat mode is 30-50 percent more expensive than a Private Chat, but others can't join in or spy.

Discounted Block Sessions - These are one on one chats, either Private or Exclusive, which you schedule in advance and pay upfront. Their big plus is the significant discounts you will enjoy. Longer sessions include bigger discounts, for example, a 1-hour chat will be 20% cheaper.

Chat Prices

On Streamate you do not buy fixed credit packages but pay with your own money as you go. A Private Chat costs $3.00 per minute on average. The minimum chat rate on the site is just under $1.00 per minute. Exclusive Chats tend to be 30-50 percent more expensive depending on each model's individual rate.

To prevent you from being carried away with the money you spend on private chats and other premium features, the site imposes a daily spending limit of $50. You can increase it in increments of $25 by contacting customer support.

Safety & Security Measures

Streamate employs SSL to encrypt all transaction carried out by its users. The site shares users' financial information neither with the performers nor with any other third party.

Customer Support

Streamate takes great pride in its customer support mechanism and rightfully so. Users enjoy a variety of means through which they can contact a representative including live chat, WhatsApp, SMS, telephone and email. In addition, the site has an elaborate FAQ page that provides in-depth explanations of its operational functions and features.

Conclusion

Streamate is characterized by a large number of online models, all of whom are exceptionally beautiful. A large number of these models broadcast in hi-def quality promising you a clear view of their shows. A user-friendly interface makes onsite navigation easy and convenient.

The site's unique payment mechanism allows you greater flexibility with managing your budget and makes sure you will get equal treatment from the models since you are not judged by the size of a credit package you are obligated to buy in advance as is the case with other cam sites.

All in all, these feature and many others make Streamate a site that is definitely worth your time.
