Streamate
Per minute, set by performer (1 GOLD = $1)Pay per minute
Flirt4Free is one of the oldest adult cam sites, launched in 1996 and run by VS Media, Inc., with its own performer network. Free chat is open to everyone, paid shows are charged in credits per minute, and unlike most rivals it publishes a public rate table for every show type. In this Flirt4Free review we cover those rates, the VIP plan, billing and what remains hidden behind the login.
In short
Flirt4Free launched in 1996 as VideoSecrets, according to XBIZ, and is run by VS Media, Inc., a California corporation, for users outside the EU. For users in the EU, the Terms say the website is controlled by FBP Media s.r.o. in the Czech Republic.
Flirt4Free runs its own network. It is not part of the Streamate pool that powers sites like Jerkmate, although its affiliate program offers white-label sites, so Flirt4Free performers can also appear on partner sites. Its model FAQ says performers are free to broadcast on other sites too.
Flirt4Free uses credits. You buy credits, and "When you enter a show your credits will begin to deduct one credit at a time" at the room's per-minute rate. Tips, fan clubs and videos are also paid in credits. Card holders can instead use Play & Pay: take a private show and be charged in US dollars at the end, without buying credits first.
Our token vs credit sites comparison explains how this differs from token sites.
Open room chat is free. Non-registered guests can watch, but they "are removed from the free chat after a period of time" and can return after 24 hours. A free account removes that limit, and the homepage banner offered 120 free credits for signing up when we checked.
In some regions a one-time age check is required before streams are shown unblurred. It uses a selfie check or an AgeGO login through a partner, and Flirt4Free says it only receives a pass or fail. The site does not list which regions trigger it. For more on guest access across sites, see watching cams without signing up.
This is where Flirt4Free stands out. Its public Show Rates page lists credit-per-minute ranges for every format. Not every performer offers every type or rate.
| Show type | Credits per minute | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Standard private | 30-60 | One-on-one private show |
| Premiere Chat | 70-500 | Premium rooms that "use the highest quality video in our system" |
| Combo room, private | 60-120 | Rooms that offer both private and multi-user |
| Multi-User | 10-120 | Shared paid show; in Combo rooms it costs 2/3 of the private price |
| Voyeur Mode | 10-40 | Watch a private show without audio or text chat |
| Group Chat | Pledge | Performer sets a credit goal and minimum pledge |
| Party Chat | Free entry | Tip-based show |

Show Offers let you negotiate a price and length directly with the performer. Multi-User rooms "are typically 'duo' rooms with more than one model performing" (multi-model rooms). Voyeur Mode is Flirt4Free's version of spy mode, and Group Chat works like the group shows on other sites. Our private shows guide compares formats across platforms.
Cam2Cam is available to all members in private and multi-user shows, including an audio-only option and a mobile version; VIPs can use it in all room states except voyeur. It is not available in Group Chat. See cam to cam.
Clicking "Get CREDITS" while logged out opens the signup form, so we could not verify package sizes or the dollar price of a credit. We therefore do not convert the rates above into dollars. What is published:
For how per-minute costs compare across sites, see private show prices.
VIP is Flirt4Free's paid tier, according to its FAQ:
Perks include free Feature Shows, three free archive videos a month, Cam2Cam in more room states, 100 DM+ credits a month and 5% off videos.
| Platform | Free chat | No account | Private | Group | Spy | Cam2cam | Fan club | Toys | Videos |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flirt4Free | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Streamate | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| XloveCam | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
No official app was found in the App Store or Google Play on October 14, 2026, and the FAQ mentions no download. That is normal, as both stores ban sexually explicit apps. Flirt4Free has a mobile web interface, Cam2Cam works on mobile in WebRTC browsers, and its DM+ messaging is "mobile-based and mobile-friendly". More in our cam site apps overview.
The purchase screen shows Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB and Diners. It also has a cryptocurrency option with a "Choose a Coin" QR flow, with Bitcoin shown; other coins are not confirmed. The FAQ adds payment by mail: money order, cashier's check or personal check. Compare methods in paying for cams with crypto, credit card payments and our payment methods hub.
The support page lists discreet descriptors such as VS.COM, VS1.COM to VS5.COM with the phone number 800-685-9236, WR VS3.COM, CCRV3COM, CCIV3COM, SEGPAYEU.COM*[email protected] and WWW.VSM.SUPPORT. An older FAQ entry also mentions CCBILL.COM, SEGPAYUS.COM, WTS and Epoch. None of these uses the Flirt4Free name. See how cam sites appear on statements.
Other privacy tools: up to five active screen names (ten in total) as alter egos, models see only your screen name, and the third-party age check means "Flirt4Free never sees your ID or selfie".
Refunds are handled case by case and only to the original payment method; Terms 14.5 allow one "if appropriate circumstances exist". Unused credits are not refunded when you close your account. The 30-day VIP renews every 30 days until cancelled, and the monthly Show Pass also recurs; cancel via My Account, with access until the next billing date and no pro-rata refund. To close an account, use the support form's "Re-activate or Close Account" option. Guides: stopping recurring charges and deleting your account.
Flirt4Free has named US and EU operating companies, Terms dated July 27, 2026, discreet descriptors, 24/7 support, privacy-preserving age checks and a Play & Pay limit you can set to zero. The main things to watch are the auto-renewing 30-day VIP and the six-month credit expiry. Our safety guide covers general precautions.
Performers sign up through studios.flirt4free.com or webcam4money.com. Requirements: 18+ with a valid photo ID, a computer with at least an Intel Core i5 and 8 GB RAM, a webcam, a 500 kbit upload minimum and the site's own broadcasting software. Women, men, couples, trans and fetish performers and studios can join from any country.
How much do Flirt4Free models earn? The official percentage is not on public model pages. XBIZ reported in September 2025 a revamped program offering "up to 70%" of earnings, with lifetime locked rates and referral bonuses; that is industry press, not an official rate card. Payment is made every two weeks by wire, Payoneer or mailed check; the minimum payout is not published. Models can block states or countries, but "Privacy blocking does not work for users accessing the site from mobile devices." Compare in payout shares by platform and cam payout methods.

Streamate is the closest match if you want per-minute private shows billed directly in dollars, with no credits to buy. LiveJasmin focuses on premium private shows, and Chaturbate suits viewers who prefer free tip-driven rooms.
Ranked picks with reasons are on Flirt4Free alternatives; read the Streamate review for the closest rival.
Flirt4Free is one of the most open per-minute sites about what shows cost in credits, and it offers more show formats than almost any rival, from voyeur access to negotiable Show Offers. The catch: the dollar price of a credit appears only after signup, and the 30-day VIP renews automatically. Compare it with other live cam sites.
Open room chat is free, and a free account came with 120 free credits when we checked. Guests without an account are removed from free chat after a while. Private, voyeur, multi-user and other paid shows cost credits per minute.
A standard private show is 30 to 60 credits per minute and Premiere Chat 70 to 500, per the public Show Rates page. The dollar price of a credit is shown only after login, so we cannot convert these to dollars.
$39.95 per 30 days with 150 credits (auto-renews), $99.95 for 3 months with 450 credits, or $179.95 for 6 months with 900 credits; the longer plans do not renew.
Under descriptors such as VS.COM (or VS1.COM to VS5.COM) 800-685-9236, WR VS3.COM, SEGPAYEU.COM*[email protected] or WWW.VSM.SUPPORT, according to the support page.
They may expire after six months, according to section 14.8 of the Terms, and unused credits are not refunded when you close your account.
