ImLive is a cheap cam site with a great loyalty program. ImLive will continue to get cheaper the more you use it, with up to 25% extra credits on every purchase when you reached VIP level. At its base, ImLive already starts out cheaper than most other cam sites. When it comes to cam2cam and two-way audio, both are available absolutely for free in every private show. You can also record your private shows, but to rewatch the shows you will need to spend credits until you are high enough in the loyalty program.

Full ImLive Review
ImLive is all about quantities - keep them up and keeping them down. On one hand, it has one of the lowest private chat rates of any premium cam sites, on the other hand, it's got an ever-increasing number of cam performers crossing all ages, appearances and skill levels. It also has a large number of non-cam features, including a community-powered hub for aficionados of adult entertainment, both performers and users.
You will rarely find a webcam model that is undressed while in the free chat rooms. But at the same time, the cost of private shows is lower than the industry standards, especially when the loyalty program is taken into account. However, the low costs do come at the price of something else, many rooms still broadcast in SD in order to keep their costs to the bare minimum.
Model Selection
On average there are around 600 plus cam rooms streaming at any one time, with this number topping 1,000 during peak hours. The overwhelming majority of the performers are Caucasian females representing both amateur girl-next-door types up to verified international stars.
Most of the models have a speciality of some sort, which can be easily accessed via the homepage's Filter menu.
There are very few male performers online, normally no more than 10-15 at any one time, though the transgender section is usually better, with closer to 50 online at a time.
As a Free User
Anyone can access the site and search for models and enter the open chat rooms. By taking a few moments to sign-up for membership, which is free and secure, you can begin to create a list of favourite models for quick access to their rooms. Registered members can also start messaging models for free.
Some models do tease and show a little flesh, but things rarely go further than that in the free chat rooms.
If a room is in Candy Show Teaser mode the girls will often show a little more, but things don't goo very far until the show actually starts.
Free users can also take advantage of the site's multi-viewer option which allows you to view six rooms at one time.
You can also submit your fantasy, to get models to message you first.
As a Paying User
Once you've purchased credits you can join a pay-for show, take a model into a private cam encounter or access the many video clips and photos.
Private shows start for as low as 0.98 credits a minute, with cam2cam and 2-way audio included in all rates. You can also pay a monthly fee to join a model's discount club, which gives you, among other benefits, additional discounts off her private chat per minute rates.
As a Premium Member
The membership tier program at ImLive gives an increasing number of perks and benefits as you rise up the ranks these include - discounts off private chat shows (the higher the membership level - the larger the discount), free credits on purchases, the ability to rewatch all your past private shows for free and more.
Show Types
Free chat - Free chat rooms are open to everyone, both members and non-members alike. The free chat rooms themselves are relatively tame. You can chat with the models to find out what they would be willing to do in a private show.
Candy show - This is ImLive's group show in which the model hosts a multi-viewer live performance. You tip the required amount set by the cam host. If her tip target is reached within the set time-limit the show begins. Some models will host the show even if they don't reach their designated tip goal target - others will cancel the show and credits are immediately refunded to those who have tipped in order to gain access to the show. Prices for the show vary depending on the length of the performance. Some shows can cost as little as a $1.00 to join.
Pornstar show - Every month ImLive hosts a live performance by a leading industry star. Tickets to this must be paid for in advance. Shows last anywhere between 30 minute to 1 hour.
Private show - The first 20 seconds of a private chat show are free and only after this does the meter start ticking. All cam chat sessions include the use of cam2cam & 2way audio.
Credit Prices
ImLive features an easy conversion of dollar to site credits rate - 1 credit = $1.00. The site sometimes offers additional free credits on buy-ins, but these offers are not static.
In addition to credits, ImLive awards 'treats' to users. These are given at the site's discretion (special events, birthdays, etc.) and can be used as you would credits - unless otherwise stipulated.
Safety & Security Measures
ImLive uses multi-layer encryption technology ensuring all information processed between the user and the site is encoded and protected by cutting-edge security measures verified by Sectigo Validation Secure Server CA.
Customer Support
There's a comprehensive FAQ section that answers most questions, along with an email support address that generally responds to all messages within a few hours. VIP members have access to a 24/7 online live chat service centre.
Conclusion
ImLive is a premium chat site with a large variety of show types and special performances on offer in addition to paid-for one-on-one live cam sessions. Prices for a private chat encounter are some of the lowest around, especially when you factor in that the price always includes cam2cam and dual-audio usage. For just under $1.00 a minute you can enjoy an exclusive session with one of the available hosts.
