8.5

One of the best free-first cam discovery layers, but token math and per-minute private sessions demand a hard spending limit.

Best fit: Free-first live discovery and interactive public rooms.

Boundary: Public-room discovery is visible before spending; token purchases and private sessions were not transacted.

Stripchat

Public rooms + tokens

8.2

A modern cam front door with useful public discovery and visible VR support; token costs still need careful translation back into cash.

Best fit: A modern public-room interface with visible VR options.

Boundary: Public discovery and visible VR support were inspected; paid token and private-session flows remain untested.
