“I got into Chaturbate because I was bored one Friday night. I got bored with the same old porn videos. They all feel staged and rehearsed. I wasn’t expecting much with Chaturbate, to be honest. But it blew my mind because unlike porn, people who broadcast there are actual amateurs. I don’t know but that thought excites me. Plus, I can interact with them as well. Granted, spending tokens can accumulate into one hefty price. But I think it’s worth it. You won’t believe what people will do just for some quick buck.” - James, 27

Exclusively on DatingScout: online member numbers for dating services are usually far off, so we estimate how many people are really on Chaturbate from traffic data and interest, updated monthly, with history.
In viewership, male members outnumber females by comprising 78% of the population. The most active users of the site are young adults ranging from the ages of 25–34. This is not surprising since ages 25–34 seem to have the strongest sexual urge among other age groups.
The site has impressive statistics to support its claims of being one of the leading cam sites worldwide; it receives over 4.3 million visitors daily. We should note, however, that most of its viewers aren’t registered members since you can still access these broadcasts even if you haven’t created an account.
Its top visitors are from the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, and France. With over 7,000,000 registered members worldwide, you are sure not to run out of shows to watch or even participate in. You can even broadcast yourself if you want to earn on the side.

- Still view live shows in HD quality
Chaturbate is not available on the Apple App Store for iOS devices. It is only available and free to download on the Google Play Store.
At first glance, the Chaturbate mobile app translates the easiness and fluidity of its desktop design quite well. Everything is compact and well-organised; thumbnails of different live shows are displayed neatly.
On the left side, you can access live shows sorted according to gender and sexual preferences. If you want to briefly check someone’s live stream, you can do so in just a few taps of your fingers.
The app runs smoothly on the phone. It doesn't take up much memory and RAM. Indeed, surfing on Chaturbate is much easier and preferable via app since you don’t have to lug around a laptop or even a desktop.
The user interface is quite simple and easy to navigate. It is intuitive enough to provide a smooth and positive user experience for all members—may they be in the younger or older spectrum.
Our field test
★★★★★ 3.0/5
Design & usability
Chaturbate’s overall design is pretty simple. You can even call it minimalistic since it tends to focus more on the content (which are the sexually explicit thumbnails of the member’s broadcasts) rather than the actual design.
Everything is set against a plain white background. But who would notice that when you can see displays of titillating and sexually arousing images?
The only colour you will see is the blue bar on top that has all the features arranged neatly from left to right. You can go to different chat rooms, visit different recommended users, check out different tags, look at your collections or saved private shows on this bar.
This design strongly recalls Chaturbate’s branding—why bother with the frills when you already know what you want and how to get it?
With a simple and no fuss layout, the site encourages you to leave your inhibitions behind, jump in, and just start browsing until your eyes drop.
Special features
Chaturbate offers a variety of features that you can use to fully maximise your cam site experience. Here are some of them:
Finding people 3
TagsFree
To find cams or shows that best suit your preference, use tags. By using a tag such as #anal, #teen, #squirt or #lesbian, you can discover streams that appeal to you the most.
One of the most popular tags is #lovense indicating the rooms where performers offer interactive sex toys where you can control the intensity of a vibrator (or other devices) used by the broadcaster on themselves.
TubeFree
In this feature, you are given a recommendation of users you can check out and follow should you wish to do so. It works in a roulette type where users and a quick summary of their profiles are shown to you randomly.
You can scroll through these recommendations to discover new streamers.
Advanced search filtersPaid
Premium users get to access the site's advanced filters to search for more people.

Animate room imagesPaid

Community and events 1
ContestFree
Known as "Win $11,000+" contest, Chaturbate holds a contest that awards a $10 prize to the top cam, and $5 to the 2nd place cam. There are reportedly 100 winners per month.
To participate, you must be 18 years or older and have an account on the site. Girls, guys, couples, and trans who can attract the most viewers in an hour will win prize money.
Other extras 2
Spy ShowsPaid
Spy shows work the same as private shows. You can “peek” into a performer’s live show but you won’t be able to interact with them directly or indirectly.
You get to play the “Peeping Tom” fantasy with this feature. It is also a lot cheaper than actually buying a private show.
My CollectionFree
This is where your saved private shows go. Private show recordings allowed by the broadcaster that last 30 seconds or longer will be saved in this folder.
You can view them over and over should you wish to relive your naughty escapades.
Final results
4.0very good
“With no doubt, Chaturbate’s strength lies in its branding—anyone can watch live shows being broadcast by pure amateurs for free. What makes it such as success is the fact that it has the best live sex shows on the Internet to date. Checking the site out!”

Many nice models.
Didn’t receive the tokens I purchased on Chaturbate’s website. Support didn’t help but referred me to epoch and my bank that couldn’t fix it either. Chaturbate’s payment system is unreliable and their service useless.
