CamSoda is a fantastic cam site and the best site for any user that prefers to use his phone. You will find plenty of flesh available in the free chat rooms and when you decide you want a private show, they are often inclusive of both cam2cam and a free recording. CamSoda is slightly more expensive when you pay with PayPal compared to when you use a credit card. Each token is more expensive by 1 cent. Even with the price difference, CamSoda still has a much lower than average price for a private show.

Full CamSoda Review
CamSoda is the number one cam site for mobile-based users, which is more than half of all people nowadays. The site was built to work flawlessly on your phone, with all features being available to play with. CamSoda was the very first cam site to introduce cam2cam on mobile devices. The site is well optimized on computers as well, with many exciting features, such as the ability to preview the whole page at once. With the largest tokens package, CamSoda offers the cheapest price for private cam2cam shows out of any site. Furthermore, you can get a free show recording in many of the rooms.
Model Selection
CamSoda usually averages between 400 and 700 webcam models online throughout the day. The webcam models are primarily Latinas, with a decent selection of Europeans. As the day shifts to American time zones, you will see more American cam girls log on, and even some renowned industry stars.
CamSoda is great for watching women, but not as much for other genders. At most, you should expect to see about 20 transgenders, a dozen couples, and maybe five guys.
As a Free User
Before you complete the free registration you can't really do anything more than watch for 10 minutes at a time. Once you've completed the free registration, you will able to hang out in the rooms and watch for as long as you want. You will also be able to chat in some of the rooms, but it will depend on the chat permissions set by the model who's chat room you are in.
The free chat rooms on CamSoda are abundant with gratuitous flesh and activity. Just be aware that as a non-token holding user, you have pretty much zero say over the flow of the show.
As a Paying User
As paying user you can chat in virtually all rooms, though you will rarely find a room where you have to tip to talk. Of course, you can be muted if you aren't being nice.
Once you have tokens you can tip for requests, goals, media, or to play with the webcam model's interactive toy.
The best part of having tokens is the option to enter a private show. These shows start for as low as 6 tokens a minute and can include both cam2cam and a free recording.
As a Premium Member
On CamSoda you have the option to become a Premium Member for $19.95 a month. Premium membership gives you an ad-free interface and unlocks the options to adjust tip volume and to PM users and models. You also gain the option to activate stealth mode in some rooms, which hides your messages and tips from the general room, but not from the model herself.
The first month of premium membership will grant you 200 free tokens, but the following months will not. Generally speaking, CamSoda's premium monthly membership is not quite as rewarding as what you can find on other sites.
Show Types
Free chat - Free chat rooms which anyone can join. Users tip for requests and towards goals.
Ticket show - You pay the ticket price and get to watch the whole show for that price. There is no set time for how long the show will last.
Group show - You pay the fee every minute until the end of the or until you choose to leave. It's incredibly rare to find a group show on CamSoda.
Private show - You are alone with the webcam model you chose. Whether cam2cam and 2 way audio are included will depend on the notification window which pops up prior to starting the show.
Spy Show - You are spying in on some else's show. You can only see and hear the model's webcam feed. You cannot spy in on other user's webcams and they can't spy in on yours.
Token Prices
The more token you buy in one shot, the cheaper each individual token becomes.
Each token on CamSoda costs between 8 and 12 cents each, depending on the size of the package you choose.
After your first purchase, you will unlock more token package options. These packages have the cheapest per token price out of any cam site.
- 800 tokens - $69.99
- 1205 tokens - $99.99
- 3100 tokens - $249.99
Safety & Security Measures
CamSoda uses state of the art TLS encryption to keep all of its servers and your information secure. You can choose from several payment methods, including PayPal which offers you buyer protection.
Customer Support
Customer support on CamSoda is limited mostly to the FAQ section or to email correspondence. If you are having a billing issue, you can contact the biller directly.
There is just one live chat customer support rooms, manned by just one woman. She doesn't have a regular work schedule, so waiting around for her isn't exactly the most ideal situation. Her chat room name is Customer Service, but in most cases, you're better off just dropping a line to support@camsoda.com.
Conclusion
While CamSoda might not have quite as many webcam models as other sites, there are still plenty of rooms to search through. With all the amazing features offered by the site, coupled with the low prices, it is really easy to see why so many people choose CamSoda as their go-to site.
While you might not find the biggest selection of non-vanilla cams, you can still find pretty much anything, as long as you are willing to spend a little time searching.
