The only reason xCams doesn't come higher in the rankings for the top HD cam sites is that there's no free anything on this site. As a registered user you can view the rooms for no more than 15 seconds at a time. If you don't register, you don't even get that. However, for paying users it's easy to find cheap private cam sessions with highly experienced models, most of whom broadcast their talents in HD. All of the snapshots indicate whether the rooms is HD friendly.

Full XCams Review
xCams means business and nothing more or less than that. It is a site for people looking for live chats without unnecessary distractions. Its interface emphasizes simplicity and easy navigation. You will find exactly what you need in no time.
Above the models' thumbnails, you will see the main categories which consist of the languages the performers speak, gender types, models' status and chat mode (Top, New, Free, HD), hair colour, body size and more. The advanced search displays some additional parameters which you can explore.
Streaming quality on xCams is excellent, with many of the performers using HD webcams.
Model Selection
On average, xCams site hosts around 350 models online. The majority of them are females, with a predominance of European and, to a lesser degree, Latin girls.
The trans and the gay sections are much smaller, making xCams a site mainly for users who prefer women.
As a Free User
As an unregistered guest user, you can enter public rooms, watch the shows and communicate with the models for 15 seconds at a time. But this is as far as it goes. To use the site's premium services, you will need to open an account and purchase credits.
As a Paying User
The moment you open an account and buy credits, you will be able to use all of xCams' premium features. You will be able to enter private shows and VIP shows. You will still be limited by a 15-second chat window, to decide if you want to pay for a show.
As a Premium Member
xCams does not have any VIP or reward program. All members are equal in that regard and they get what they pay for.
Show Types
Free chat - xCams is not based around free chats. You get 15-second previews to decide if the webcam room is right for you. After that, the chat window ends and you need to decide if you want to pay or try a different girl.
Private show - This is the normal chat type on the site. You can turn on your camera and chat with the model. While the show is called private, you are in fact not necessarily alone. Other users will be able to chat with the model at the same time, but they won't be able to cam2cam with her.
VIP show - VIP shows are just a little better than private show. Other users can no longer join in on the chat, though they are still able to spy in on the show. Unlike with private shows, in VIP shows you also have the option to turn on your microphone. As to prices, VIP shows are often 3-4 times more expensive than private shows.
Toy chats - Some of the models enable users to control their interactive toys while chatting with them. This usually costs 5 credit for 10 seconds.
Token Prices
The bigger the credit pack you buy, the less you pay per single credit. As shown below, if you go for the largest pack, the price of 1 credit stands at $0.20. With the smallest pack, the price goes up to $0.25.
A simple calculation reveals that a 1-minute private show on xCams costs $4.00 on average. Minimum chat rate stands at $1.00 per minute.
Safety & Security Measures
xCams takes seriously the aspect of its users privacy and security. It uses state of the art software (such as SSL encryption) to protect user accounts. Moreover, neither the name of the site nor any indication of it is provided on bank statements.
Customer Support
Users can contact customer support only via telephone. The site has different numbers for specific countries and a number for users who do not come from these countries. There are no other means to reach support, not even email.
Conclusion
xCams is a simple site, but this is where its power lies. It offers exactly what you need to chat with beautiful models in high streaming quality without any other features that will distract you from doing that.
While the VIP shows on xCams can be seen as needlessly expensive, the private shows are usually much more realistically priced. There are more than a few gorgeous babes streaming in HD and charging just 5 credits a minute to be semi-alone. While you might think to yourself, wait, but other users can join in and ruin my experience, xCams doesn't actually get enough traffic for that to be a problem. Models often sit around anxiously waiting for attention.
Compared to some other cam sites, xCams doesn't have that much to offer, but at the same time, it's all about finding the right woman. It doesn't matter what platform you are on, but rather that you have found the right model. Giving the site a click to view just the front page selection takes nothing but a few moments.
