Chaturbate in brief

For models, Chaturbate's traffic is unmatched in the Americas, and its apps make it easy to run tip menus, games and ticket shows. You set your own private-show price. Because it's so crowded, the first week matters: a new broadcaster gets extra visibility for a short time, and using it well builds a following. Check Chaturbate's current broadcaster terms for its payout before you start. Our guide to making money on Chaturbate covers the details. Read our Chaturbate guide for models.

For models: head to head

The question for a model is what kind of work you enjoy. Chaturbate is about running a public room: keeping a crowd entertained, tip menus, goals and games, and turning regulars into private shows. LiveJasmin suits performers who prefer focused, one-on-one sessions to a busy chat.

LiveJasmin's European-evening peak also means a US model can work late afternoon and early evening. Chaturbate's peak means late nights. Check each site's current published payout share, and how LiveJasmin's private rates are set, before you join.

Best for: room types and categories

Tips show where viewers actually spend time. Here's how much each site's rooms took over four weeks, by room type and by the category tags performers choose. Chaturbate has the bigger audience in every category we track for both sites.

Safety and verification

Chaturbate: performer verification documented. LiveJasmin: performer verification in progress. Our platform guides cover how each site checks performers are adults and the privacy settings worth changing before you go live.

On either site: make sure everyone who appears on camera has passed the site's verification, use a stage name and region blocking, never take payments outside the site, and keep a log of every show. If anything looks wrong, especially anyone who might be underage, report it to the site and to NCMEC's CyberTipline.

The bottom line

If you like the energy of a public room and want the biggest free audience in the Americas, Chaturbate is the pick, and it's open to every kind of performer. If you'd rather earn from private sessions and work earlier in the evening, LiveJasmin is designed around exactly that.

Don't judge LiveJasmin by its tip numbers. They measure public rooms only, which is the part of the site that matters least to how it works. Its traffic is the better guide to its size.
