The short answer
Thinking about leaving Chaturbate, or adding a second site? I get it. Chaturbate is huge, but it's crowded at night and quiet during the day. Here are the alternatives I'd look at, and who each one suits. Let me show you.
Where to go instead of Chaturbate
- Stripchat: the most tips of any site, busiest in the US daytime.
- MyFreeCams: for women who stream late at night.
- BongaCams: if you stream in the afternoon or from Europe.
- CamSoda: smaller, quieter rooms where you stand out.
- LiveJasmin: if you'd rather do paid private shows than chase tips.
Everything below comes from four weeks of tracked public tips, September 28 to October 25, 2026, with hours in US Eastern time.
The numbers side by side
| Site | Tracked tips, 4 weeks | Busiest hours (ET) | Women's rooms' share |

| Stripchat | $51.4M | 9am to 1pm | 69% |
| Chaturbate | $33.7M | 10pm to 2am | 76% |
| MyFreeCams | $4.4M | 10pm to 2am | almost 100% |
| BongaCams | $2.6M | 3pm to 7pm | 89% |
| CamSoda | $2.6M | 10pm to 2am | 95% |
| LiveJasmin | $1.7M | 4pm to 8pm | 89% |

1. Stripchat: the obvious next site
If I could only add one site to Chaturbate, it would be Stripchat. It had more tracked tips than Chaturbate over the same four weeks, and its rush hour is the US morning and lunchtime, 9am to 1pm Eastern. That's exactly when Chaturbate is slow.
Best for: daytime streamers and couples. Couples took 23% of Stripchat's tracked tips, far more than anywhere else.
Think twice if: you can only stream late at night. That's Chaturbate's best time, not Stripchat's.

2. MyFreeCams: women, late at night
MyFreeCams is almost entirely women's rooms, and it peaks at the same time as Chaturbate, 10pm to 2am Eastern. If you love the late shift but feel lost in Chaturbate's crowd, it's worth trying.
Best for: women who stream at night. Not for: couples, trans or male performers, who earn almost nothing there.
See our MyFreeCams guide.
3. BongaCams: afternoons and Europe
BongaCams is busiest from 3pm to 7pm Eastern, which is evening in Europe. If you're in Europe, or you can only stream in the US afternoon, its rush hour lines up with your day.
Best for: European models and afternoon streamers. See our BongaCams guide.
4. CamSoda: smaller rooms, more attention
CamSoda is much smaller than Chaturbate, with the same late-night peak. Smaller can be a good thing: fewer rooms competing for each viewer, and more time to talk with the people in your chat.
Best for: newer models who want to be noticed. See our CamSoda guide.
5. LiveJasmin: private shows instead of tips
LiveJasmin works differently. It's built around paid private shows, not big public tip rooms, so if you'd rather earn per minute than chase tip goals, it's a real alternative. Its busiest time is 4pm to 8pm Eastern.
Best for: models who like one-on-one shows. See our LiveJasmin guide.
Should you leave Chaturbate, or add a site?
Most models I'd tell to add, not leave. Keep your Chaturbate regulars and try a second site at a different time of day. Stripchat in the morning and Chaturbate at night is a popular pair, because the two rush hours don't overlap.
Before you stream anywhere new, read that site's model terms, especially on exclusivity and streaming to two sites at once. And plan your privacy for the new site from day one: our privacy and safety guide shows you how.

Questions people ask
What is the best Chaturbate alternative for models?
Stripchat, for most models. Over four weeks it had more tracked tips than Chaturbate and it peaks in the US daytime, so it's busy when Chaturbate is quiet.
Is Stripchat better than Chaturbate for models?
It depends on when you can stream. Stripchat is busiest from 9am to 1pm US Eastern and has the biggest couples audience. Chaturbate is busiest from 10pm to 2am and has the biggest trans and men's audiences. Pick the site whose rush hour matches your schedule.
Which cam site is best for women who stream at night?
Chaturbate, MyFreeCams and CamSoda all peak between 10pm and 2am Eastern. MyFreeCams is almost entirely women's rooms, so it's worth a look if Chaturbate feels crowded.
Can I stream on more than one cam site?
Many models do, on different days or at different times. Check each site's own model terms first, because rules on exclusivity and streaming to two sites at once differ.
