Freemium vs. Premium, understanding the difference.
Everybody involved in the industry needs to understand the difference between webcam sites, even the viewers. Why? Because you research services and prices for insurance, phones, and everything else in life, why should webcamming be any different?
But Aren’t all Cam Sites the Same?
Aren’t all smartphones the same? Sure, the primary concept they have created works similarly, but the features and qualities differ significantly. The same applies to cam sites. You choose a webcam model from the list and watch her perform live, but the features and prices surrounding that all differ.
What is a premium webcam site, and how does it work?
A good example of a popular premium webcam site would be Fapper Cams. During public shows on a premium cam site, the webcam models are forbidden from performing nudity. The viewer must take the performer into some private show to get her naked.
This may not sound like a great choice for those looking for a free wank; however, there are tons of positives from using a premium site vs. a freemium site. For starters, you’re not going to be hanging around in a room with a bunch of freeloaders, and removing them from the equation generally means that the model has more time to spend on genuine customers, like yourself. So when you comment in her room, you’ll likely get a response.
What is a Freemium cam site, and how is it different?
Freemium cam sites are the opposite of premium cam sites, models perform nude shows during an open and public room. Webcam models typically work for tips on a Freemium cam site, so they work their ass off, to say the least, literally!
Sounds great; this must be the best choice, right? Not necessarily; if freemium cam sites were as great as they sound, there would be no demand for the premium sites.
It’s not uncommon to see 10,000 + viewers in one room on a freemium cam site, especially the larger and more popular ones. This can be super annoying because the model cannot physically give attention to that many viewers, so you never really get a word in. You’ll likely spend most of your time listening to horny freeloaders squabble about who’s cocks bigger, which isn’t an enjoyable experience. These rooms get so busy that the model will rarely even thank you directly for tipping her; she usually has an automated message go out to thank the tippers, which doesn’t show much appreciation as it’s completely effortless.
So, what’s the better choice? Freemium or Premium webcam sites?
There is no right or wrong answer to this, as both clients and models typically swear by one or the other. Both Freemium and Premium sites work well for different people, depending on what you’re looking for in a webcam site. We recommend joining and testing a few yourself and reaching your own verdict based on what features you favor most in a site.
