Stats · Updated October 26, 2026Cam site statistics: tips, traffic and the busiest times.
How much gets tipped on the big cam sites, when rooms are busiest, who gets tipped and where the visitors go. Every chart is a site-wide total or average: nothing here is about any one performer.
Cam sites rarely publish their own numbers, so most of what gets said about them is guesswork. This page is our analysis of two kinds of outside data: tracked public tips across the big sites, for September 28 to October 25, 2026, and visit estimates for September 2026 (Similarweb). We only use site-wide totals and averages, never anything about an individual performer.
Two things to keep in mind as you read. Tip data covers public tips only, so private shows and subscriptions aren't counted, which matters a lot for LiveJasmin. And traffic numbers are estimates, best used to compare sites with each other rather than as exact counts. There's more on both in how we got these numbers and on our methodology page.

Where the tips go
Across the six big sites, tracked public tips came to $96.4 million over four weeks. Two sites took almost all of it: Stripchat had 53.3% and Chaturbate 35.0%, together 88%. MyFreeCams came a distant third with 4.6%, and the other three shared what was left.

For models, that concentration is a trade-off. The biggest sites have the most tippers but also the most competition, while smaller sites like CamSoda and BongaCams can make it easier to stand out. Our best cam sites for models guide goes through that choice site by site.
LiveJasmin's small share is the clearest reminder of what this data can't see. It's the third most visited cam site, but it earns mainly from private shows, which public tip tracking doesn't count. Read its share as "how much public tipping happens there," not as how much its performers earn.
Popular times: when rooms get tipped
Like the "popular times" chart on a map listing, each bar shows how much of a day's tips arrive in that hour. Taller bars mean busier rooms. The highlighted bars are the busiest four-hour stretch. Pick a site to see its own pattern.

Same source and period as above. Times are US Eastern.
Put all six sites together and tips peak from 4pm to 8pm Eastern, with 18.6% of a day's tips in those four hours, and bottom out from 4am to 8am (12.9%). But the blend hides how different the sites are, because each one's audience lives in different time zones.
Stripchat peaks in the US morning. Its busiest stretch is 9am to 1pm Eastern, which is afternoon and evening in Europe. BongaCams and LiveJasmin peak in the US afternoon: 3pm to 7pm on BongaCams and 4pm to 8pm on LiveJasmin, matching a European evening crowd. Chaturbate, MyFreeCams and CamSoda are late-night sites, all busiest from 10pm to 2am Eastern, when American viewers are home. MyFreeCams has the sharpest swing: its busiest hour gets more than three times the tips of its quietest. Stripchat and Chaturbate are the flattest, so there's no truly dead time on either.
| Site | Busiest (Eastern) | Share of day | Busiest day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stripchat | 9am to 1pm | 20.8% | Saturday |
| Chaturbate | 10pm to 2am | 20.8% | Saturday |
| MyFreeCams | 10pm to 2am | 28.7% | Saturday |
| BongaCams | 3pm to 7pm | 26.1% | Friday |

If you're a model choosing when to go live, these windows are a starting point, not a rule. A busy hour has more tippers but also more rooms competing for them. One approach worth testing is going live just before a site's peak, so you're already settled in as viewers arrive. Our webcam model guide covers building a schedule around this.
Busiest days of the week
The weekend wins, but not by as much as you might think. Across all six sites, Saturday was the biggest day with 15.9% of the week's tips and Monday the smallest with 12.9%. Friday and Saturday each took about 23% more than Monday, and Friday through Sunday together took 46% of the week.
Same source and period as above. Times are US Eastern.
Every one of the six sites had Friday or Saturday as its biggest day. The weekday pattern varies a little: MyFreeCams and CamSoda both jump on Thursday, while Stripchat and Chaturbate build more gradually through the week. If you can only pick a few days, start with Friday and Saturday, then add Sunday on Chaturbate, Stripchat or BongaCams, or Thursday on MyFreeCams, CamSoda or LiveJasmin.
Who gets tipped
The tip data groups rooms into four categories: women, couples, trans performers and men. Across the six sites, rooms run by women took 75% of tracked tips, couples 14%, trans performers 5% and men 6%. The mix on each site is very different, which says a lot about who each one is for.
Same source and period as above. Times are US Eastern.
MyFreeCams is almost entirely women's rooms, which fits its long-standing community of women performers. Chaturbate has the broadest mix, with the biggest share for trans performers (9.1%) and men (8.5%) of any site here. Stripchat stands out for couples, which leads to the next section.
Couples: one site dominates
Couples took 22.7% of Stripchat's tracked tips, about $11.7 million over four weeks. That's more than all the other sites' couples tips combined: Stripchat had 84% of every couples tip we tracked. Chaturbate was a clear second, and nobody else was close.
Same source and period as above. Times are US Eastern.
If you perform as a couple, that makes the choice simple: Stripchat is where the couples audience is. More in our guide to the best cam sites for couples.
Chaturbate statistics
More people search for Chaturbate than for any other cam site, so here are its numbers in one place. Over four weeks, its rooms took $33.7 million in tracked public tips, 35% of everything tipped across the six big sites, second only to Stripchat. It had about 464.4M visits in September 2026, and people stayed 8m 36s per visit on average, the longest of any big cam site.
- Busiest hours: 10pm to 2am Eastern, with 20.8% of a day's tips.
- Busiest day: Saturday.
- Who gets tipped: women 76.4%, trans performers 9.1%, men 8.5%, couples 6.0%.

Traffic: the 15 most visited cam sites
Similarweb estimates the 24 cam sites we track had about 1.68 billion visits in September 2026. Stripchat (608.1M) and Chaturbate (464.4M) had 64% of them between them. The number after each bar is the average visit length.
Traffic: Similarweb, September 2026.
Jerkmate is the odd one out: it works as a front door that sends visitors on to partner sites, which is why its visits are so short. We leave out white labels (sites that show another platform's performers under their own brand), because their visitors are watching the same rooms as the parent site. The full 24-site table is on our best cam sites list.
Where people stay longest
Visit length is a rough measure of how much people settle in. The middle visit across all 24 sites lasted 5 minutes 8 seconds. These eight held people longest, and most are small sites with loyal regulars.
Traffic: Similarweb, September 2026.
Of the two giants, Chaturbate holds attention far better: 8m 36s per visit against Stripchat's 4m 25s. Long visits on a small site often mean a close community, which suits models who want regulars.
Tips versus traffic
Comparing the two sources shows which sites turn visitors into public tips. A site whose share of tracked tips is bigger than its traffic share has an unusually generous public crowd; one whose traffic share is bigger earns more in other ways, or has more people just looking.
| Site | Tip rank (of 6) | Traffic rank (of 24) | Share of tracked tips | Share of visits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stripchat | #1 | #1 | 53.3% | 36.2% |
| Chaturbate | #2 | #2 | 35.0% | 27.6% |
| MyFreeCams | #3 | #5 | 4.6% | 3.5% |
| BongaCams | #4 | #4 | 2.7% | 7.8% |
| CamSoda | #5 | #9 | 2.7% | 1.4% |
| LiveJasmin | #6 | #3 | 1.8% | 11.6% |
Tips: BaileyBae analysis of tracked public tips, September 28 to October 25, 2026, share of the six sites. Visits: Similarweb, September 2026, share of all 24 sites.
MyFreeCams punches well above its traffic: it's fifth by visits but third by tips, a sign of a loyal, tipping community. LiveJasmin is the opposite, third by visits and last by public tips, because its money is in private shows.
How we got these numbers
Tips. Tip figures are our analysis of tracked public tips for September 28 to October 25, 2026, covering public tips on Stripchat, Chaturbate, MyFreeCams, BongaCams, CamSoda and LiveJasmin. We use only site-wide totals and shares: no usernames, no figures for any individual performer, and no raw data is published. Hours and days are in US Eastern time. The "all six sites" charts weight each site by its tips, so Stripchat and Chaturbate shape them most.
Traffic. Visits, visit length and pages per visit are Similarweb's estimates for September 2026. They count visits, not people, and include visitors from every country.
What's missing. Private shows, subscriptions and fan-site income aren't in the tip data. Four weeks is a snapshot, and patterns can shift with holidays and site promotions. We'll refresh this page as new data comes in, and the date at the top always shows the latest update. Read more about how we review and our wider research.
