How we ranked them
We ranked sites by how much was tipped to trans performers' rooms on each one over four weeks (BaileyBae analysis of tracked public tips, September 28 to October 25, 2026). The data uses the categories the sites themselves use. We haven't added payout shares yet: we only publish those after confirming them on each site's own pages. Rankings never depend on affiliate deals.

- Pick your hours by site. Chaturbate's busiest hours are 10pm to 2am Eastern; Stripchat's are 9am to 1pm. See our best times to cam.
- Use the site's trans category and clear tags so the viewers looking for you can find you.
- Set up moderation tools before you go live, so rude messages never reach your room.
- Protect your privacy from day one: stage name, region blocking and a clean background. See our privacy guide.
