Private Chat: $1.00-$5.00/min (Approx)
Models: 80,000+
Summary: ImLive is one of the cam site veterans in the industry, having been in operation for over 15 years. They’ve accumulated some 80,000 models and over 62 million registered users. It offers most of the typical cam site features, along with a bunch of extra perks and features.
The site is owned by IML SLU, and has several white label sister sites run by other companies, including Shemale.com and Supermen. As always, we remind you that though the model catalog, technology, and features for white labels are the same as the main site, the accounts, credits, customer service, and related elements are not shared between them.
Chat costs are variable on ImLive, set by the models. There are some specific criteria depending on the type of chat, however, and averages that we can reveal here to help you.
Below, you’ll find a listing of the credit packages and payment options. Fortunately, there are only 2 categories in terms of credit costs – PumaPay (cryptocurrencies) and everything else. Everything other than PumaPay uses a simple $1 = 1 credit conversion, regardless of how large a package is purchased. This may decrease somewhat at higher reward membership levels as there are discounts, but we base our data on new member prices. PumaPay uses PumaPay tokens (PMA cryptocurrency), purchased with either Bitcoin or Ethereum. There is also a 15% additional credit program for PumaPay purchases, meaning in most cases, they are the cheapest option. The conversion updates every 2 minutes, but again, no matter what size package you purchase (or have in your pants), the cost per credit is the same.
As always, the best option and/or package is highlighted in the green, while the most expensive is highlighted in red.

25 (28.75) Credits | $25.10 (approx.) | $0.87 |

The cost of the three main chat types of ImLive can vary a lot, because the hosts are allowed to set their prices. Private chats have a standard range, which we’ve listed below. Candy Shows are a fixed price ticket for a set show length, e.g. 7 credits for a 10 minute show. Both the credit amount and length are up to the host. We’ve used the range of prices we’ve observed for our calculations on that one. Group Cams involve the cost of the original host, plus any added host, minus a discount of 0.70 credits/minute for the 2nd and each additional host. We’ve calculated the range based on 2 hosts in our table below (see the note below the table for specifics).
Paid Show Type | Tokens/Minute | $/Minute | 5 Minute Show |
---|---|---|---|
Private Chat | 0.98-5.80 | $0.98-$5.80 | $4.90-$29.00 |
Candy Show (Group)* | 0.25-1.00 | $0.25-$1.00 | $1.25-$5.00 |
Group Cams (2 Hosts) | 1.26-10.90 | $1.26-$10.90 | $6.30-$54.50 |
*We used average prices of 5 credits/20 minutes on the low end, and 10 credits/10 minutes on the high end for these calculations.
The ImLive costs are about in-line with most other cam sites. The majority of models for Private Chat or Group Cams have their individual rates in the $2-3 per minute range. The Candy Shows are a steal compared to group chats at many other sites, however, so they are definitely worth checking out (the only downside being you have to commit upfront with the ticket purchase, it’s not pay-per-minute).
There are no paid memberships or subscriptions at ImLive. Instead, there is a rewards program, with different levels (beyond the new membership/default level) awarded based on cumulative credit purchases (though the exact amounts required for each level are not clearly listed). Rewards levels progressively offer better discounts, perks, and more freebies. The rewards levels are Bronze, Silver, Gold, and VIP.
ImLive is like many progressive cam sites, in that it offers hosts/models of all types, genders, orientations, size, shape, age – whatever you please. The quality of the hosts runs from average-looking to genuine, verified pornstars, and everything in between. ImLive seems to attract a good proportion of more genuine amateur-type girls (compared to the high professional-looking model types on some other sites). This is one of the reasons, we believe, that the prices are quite competitive here.
While they have 63,000+ models in their catalog, the online availability only averages 550 or so most of the time, with the majority being women (75-80%). Solo women, lesbian couples, hetero couples, solo men, gay couples, threesomes/groups of all varieties, solo transsexuals, and transsexual couples of all varieties are all available.
Some of the most recent pornstars that have done featured shows for the site, or have upcoming scheduled shows, include the likes of Kagney Linn Karter, Anissa Kate, Sofi Ryan, Adriana Chechik, Aaliyah Love, Ryan Keely, Teagan Presley, Jake Ashford, Jimmy Durano and Talon Reed together, Lana Rhoades, Elsa Jean, and many others (about one a month, on average). There are also a few stars who aren’t super-active in the business who tend to cam quite regularly, rather than only at feature appearances, so be sure to check those filters!
ImLive has a lot of the typical cam site features, along with many special perks and little touches that you don’t find everywhere. One of the nice things here is that there are no spy modes for private chats. Private is truly private, between you and the model. The community of users and hosts is also quite, with fan clubs, contests, and raffles, weekly events, and much more. The full list of site features includes:
The site runs fairly well, with no excessive load or search times, and no noticeable lag, latency, or drop in video quality during even the free chats. This is to be expected – you don’t have a webcam site running for 15+ years and stay in business with crappy hardware powered by a hamster in a wheel, after all!
That said, the site style/interface can be a bit deceptive, as it seems a bit plain and old-fashioned. However, it’s fully responsive, customizable based on your preferences, and provides easy access to all the menu options, features, and important things you need. The chat interface is likewise fairly basic compared to many other sites, though it gets the job done. All things considered, the chat interface could use a bit of an upgrade, while the site interface, though simple, is far more polished.
The camera qualities aren’t disclosed or filterable, so it’s not clear what percentages run HD vs. SD – though most of the hosts we’ve checked out were rocking full HD setups based on the full-screen streaming quality. Interactive toys are supported, though few models use them compared to other sites – normally on other sites they’re tip-triggered, and there’s no tipping here. You can pay credits to make them run, but in many cases that’s like $1/1 credit for a 4 second buzz, which is incredibly steep in comparison to everything else (and other sites).
In terms of finding your hosts or models, there are lots and lots of options. Direct search by name is always available, as is browsing by the top-level divisions like girl alone, girl girl, group/threesome, guy alone, etc. Within each division, you can drill down further, with a number of filters including special hosts, show type, price, sexual orientation, fetishes, chat features, age, ethnicity, and more. You can also accomplish this through the advanced search, which includes offline models as well as language options. The Top Host Arena, featuring the highest-voted/rated hosts as chosen by the users, is another option for finding great models to chat with. While no tagging system for models is present, there are more than enough options to find someone, or two, or three to fulfill your fantasies and chat desires. And of course, there’s a feature to add your favorites to your list, and automatic tracking history of who you’ve visited, so you never lose out on a great new find based on something like your cat stepping on your keyboard…yea, we’ll go with that, it was the pussy’s fault!
Pros:
Cons:
ImLive is one of the OGs of internet cam sites, having been around for 15+ years now. Their catalog of models is solid, with lots of choices, including a good number of amateurs with different, fresh looks. It’s fetish and alternative friendly, with lots of filters catering to everyone’s unique tastes. The site covers most of the usual cam site features, with lots of extras. The site’s servers and streams are reliable and responsive. Perhaps most importantly, the cost of credits is average to a bit below average, and the Candy Shows are a great way to enjoy the semi-privacy of cam shows without the hefty price tag. Add in featured pornstar shows, write-your-own-fantasy requests, and a large and active community of users, and you’ve got magic. Yea, there are a few areas that could be improved here and there, but they aren’t major detractors from most users’ experiences. And speaking of user experiences, I’ve got a hot curvy brunette I’ve had my eye on for awhile now….
