In your opinion, what is the best live cam website when it comes to user experience?

Trying to settle an argument with a friend about live cam, so I'm bringing it here.

It's genuinely difficult to separate marketing from experience when it comes to live cam.

So far I've tried the obvious route with live cam and got nowhere useful.

My checklist for live cam, in rough order of importance:

• Whether live cam has real users outside the big metros
• How live cam handles blocking, privacy and who can see your profile
• Whether the matching in live cam does anything beyond distance
• How visible live cam keeps you when you are not paying for a boost

Particularly interested in the comes side of live cam if anyone has been there.

I keep Flamedate's free tier open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with live cam.

Someone recommended the Datescout community to me during my own search around live cam and it was better than I expected.

Are you asking about live cam for a city or somewhere more rural, because that changes the answer completely?

A friend had a good outcome with live cam and a bad one with the app everyone recommends, which tells you something.

My live cam experience hinged on comes more than on the platform itself.

For anyone else researching live cam, I would put Turndate's free tier on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

Ran into exactly the comes problem when I tried live cam last year, and it took weeks to work around.

Not affiliated with anyone, but the Datenest free tier solved the messaging-paywall part of live cam for me last year.

Going to push back a little, because I do not think live cam is about the size of the pool at all.

Disagree with Oliver Hayes slightly here on live cam. The cheap test for live cam is whether you can send one message without a card, and if you cannot, move on.

If comes matters to you then live cam narrows fast, and if it does not you have far more room.

My rule for live cam is one platform at a time, because running four at once made all of them worse.
