Streamate is one of the oldest and best live chat and cam sites on the net. It's been running for over 12 years and gives you amateur and pornstar chicks from around the world ready and willing to do whatever you want to get off. It's got a very friendly interface with lost of tools to help your browsing and chatting, runs smoothly, and its prices compare well to other chat and cam sites. When you want some alone time with a hot babe or boy, you've got your Streamate right there with you.
Start out at the tour, and you will see exactly what you have as a member. Except, only once you've signed up (for free) can you really start to explore the videos, photos and of course, the chat. There were 1,836 girls online when I was in the member's area and 143 guys; boys are girls are in separate areas, and you can toggle between the two.
Some of the models have galleries and/or videos, some have more detailed bios than others, but all of them have the same functional chat page with a large cam screen and a good, easy to use chat box for your messages. You can also see who is online from the homepage, who is in a group chat and who is giving a gold show. A schedule is provided, and the site runs contests too.
How much you interact is up to you, as is how much you pay. The point here is, there are plenty of babes to choose from, and you won't have any hassles finding and researching them, making up your mind who you want to play with.
To give you an idea of the kind of girls to expect, there's a left-hand category list which includes Asians, BBW, Co-eds, Couples, Foot fetish, Granny, Lesbian, Shaved, Small Tits, Trans girls and Teens. You're also shown numbers there, so you know how many of each girl is ready and waiting. Find one you fancy and click through - oh, you can also opt to have a video sample running as well as have the sample images static; another neat feature of Streamate.
Each chat page comes with the text box and the video screen, and that has its own set of tools for going full screen etc. The bios provide you with details stats and info, including what the babe is willing to do, where she's from and what languages she speaks. (The site is available in various languages.) Here, you also find what videos and galleries the girls have and if they are free to view or not. Some have free videos, others you may have to pay for. It's a bit hit and miss whether you find a girl with pics and vids, and there's no separate area for all galleries and movies. It's not a site that runs like that, in fact, very few do and what's nice about Streamate is that many of the girls have decent quality sample videos and good images. You'd be amazed at how many chat sites don't bother with these neat extras.
So, we know there are loads of girls and guys waiting for you a Streamate and we know it's a top chat site that, some would say, does better than the ones most of us have heard of, like I'm Live or Live Jasmin, but you want to know what it costs, right?
Well, it doesn't cost you anything to sign-up, only your email address. Then, it's up to you, and you can buy blocks of credit/time and use it, topping it up when necessary. The prices the girls charge may vary, but I'd say an average cost for a live, personal streaming chat would be $2.99 per minute, though some charge $3.99 per minute.
With a site that relies on technical wizardry like streaming live cams and instant text chat, you want to know that it's stable and easy to use. It is both. Here are some more technical details for you. Many of the cams used by models are 720p HD, and if your connection can take it, you get a smooth streaming service. There are over 10,000 models, though the number online at any one time will vary. You have free chat, cam to cam chat (for various prices), and then a host of other additional features: Notifications, email service, good search functions, comments and rates, a favourites area, all those stats, vids and pics, and a clutter-free members' area with plenty of help and support, details on how to add spending limits and credits and no technical mishaps at all.
Navigation is also easy thanks to the top menu where you find all your account functions and the submenu where you find your search and sort options, plus the side menu where you have your category list. Members can change the way the site looks and customise it. If I had any negatives to say, they might be that there isn't really a community feel, no chat/forum for members to share views and experiences -though you can leave individual comments - and perhaps, some models charge too much for their shows.
Signing up is simple. Create your free account from the tour pages, where you will need to enter your credit card details although nothing should be taken at the time of sign-up; you will have them in your account ready for when you want to add credits and buy viewing time. Wait for your instant confirmation email and then log in. Remember, what you see on the tour is what you get, so you will already know your way around.
Streamate ranks right up there with the best of chat and cam sites, because of its excellent member-features, ease of use and reasonable prices, but mainly because of the 10,000 + hot models who hang out here and play. What you spend and what you do, who you chat to and how you get off is up to you, but whatever you like to do live with top chicks, you can do it here. Well-priced, packed with interactive functions and with good quality streaming, Streamate is the way to go for hot live chat.
