Top 4 Hi-Def Cam Site Alternatives to LiveJasmin
LiveJasmin is an industry leader that offers everything I expect from a top-tier cam site. The models are breathtaking and they know how to entertain. The streaming quality 720p in the vast majority of rooms, and the media player has lots of fun interactive features. The site's prices are competitive and there are several payment options. I highly recommend LiveJasmin for high definition private video chats.
OK...then what's the point of this article?
Variety is the spice of life. No site, not even LiveJasmin, can possibly satisfy our voracious appetite for novelty. At some point we feel we've exhausted a site's features and models, so we start searching for comparable alternatives. We look for fresh faces and unique features to excite us. I understand the process of locating a great HD cam site can be time-consuming and frustrating, which is why I've taken the time to identify not one, not two, but four excellent alternatives to LiveJasmin.
Flirt4Free
Flirt4Free is one of the cheapest adult webcam sites around, despite a feature-rich user interface, a convenient pay-as-you-go option, and true HD streaming quality. Once you discover the benefits included in the site's loyalty program you'll realize it's a perfectly reasonable alternative to LiveJasmin.
Flirt4Free is a premium HD cam site with a well thought out interface. When members log in, for example, they find a My Favorites section right at the top of the homepage. This section lists any models currently online whom the member has previously saved to the Favorites list. This helps avoid the wild goose chase of clicking the "favorites" icon, going to an entirely different page, discovering none of the models they want are currently available, and then going back to the homepage to start the process from scratch.
The media player has numerous interactive features, including preset tipping buttons, a cam2cam activator, and a link to the model's bio. You can toggle two HD protocols. The first is HLS, which offers smooth, low-latency streaming in exchange for slightly diminished picture quality. The second, called Nano, uses HTML5 and provides crisp HD but suffers from occasional streaming hiccups. If you have high-speed internet, then I recommend the Nano.
There are models on Flirt4Free charging as little as $0.55 a minute, but the average is $3.90 a minute, which is a bit pricey. So if you're intending to use the site often look into their VIP program, which is one of the best VIP programs around. You get full access for $39.95 a month, which averages out to less than you'd pay for one ten-minute private session. You'll also get 150 site credits each month, which means your total costs are only around 20 bucks.
ImLive
ImLive earns its place on this venerated list due to its affordability, quality HD streaming, unique Multi-Viewer interface, and extraordinary Fulfill Your Fantasy option. I'll concede the site needs to add more models, and it would be nice if there were an HD filter option, so I can determine which rooms to enter, but it's still a premium HD cam site worthy of your time.
We all have webcam fantasies we would love to fulfill if we could just find the right model, but finding them is even more time consuming than finding the right sites. ImLive simplifies the entire process with a unique option: Fulfill Your Fantasy. All you do is post precisely what you're looking for on their board, which only the models can see, and wait for a model to get back to you. The next step is to discuss specifics and agree on a price. Then you and the model are off to enjoy whatever your heart desires. That feature alone makes ImLive a site worth bookmarking.
Imlive is also the only site with a Multi-Viewer. This interface allows you to watch 6 randomly selected models at the same time for as long as you'd like. If a model peaks your interest you can select that room and enter. If you're not enjoying any of the 6 models, click the arrow and view 6 more. The player allows you to choose from several types of shows, including Shy Girl Alone, Girl on Girl, and Fetish & BDSM. If you're willing to spend some credits, you can even Go to Full Sex Mode and enjoy the premium stuff.
Speaking of spending, ImLive is a very affordable site. The average price for private session is only $2.25 a minute, and there are models doing privates for as little as $1.00 a minute. When you enter a private chat, you get a 20-second free preview, so you can decide whether you're really interested in that particular model.
Chaturbate
Chaturbate needs no introduction. It's one of the most-visited adult sites on the internet, and with good reason. It's free, it's fun, and it's full of hot models. And let's be very clear: On Chaturbate the word "free" means free. You can sit and watch hours of explicit cam shows at zero cost. You don't need to purchase a membership. You don't need to purchase credits. Just sit back and passively enjoy the show.
How can a freemium cam site like Chaturbate be a viable substitute for LiveJasmin? I would argue that if you navigate the site effectively you'll find it to be on par with many of the best sites.
For starters, there are thousands of models online at any given moment, providing an inexhaustible supply of variety. Furthermore, the models are among the most beautiful, sensual in the business; and because they work crowded freemium rooms they've encountered most everything. Their experience means better entertainment for you. If you do want to pay for "extra" services, you'll find Chaturbate's prices very reasonable. The average cost for a private encounter is $2.70 a minute, and if you hunt around you can find models working for as little as $0.60 a minute.
One of the most impressive things about Chaturbate is the volume of HD webcam rooms. Go to the Options tab and select Prioritize HD Cameras. The first dozen or so pages will be models labeled HD+, meaning they're streaming in 1080p. At nearly 100 models per page that's around 1000 models streaming in 1080p. How many other sites, including LiveJasmin, have 1000 models streaming in ultra-high-definition?
The media player has three settings: Split Screen, with the chat board on the side; Theater Mode, where the chat board minimizes into a floating screen; Interactive Full Screen, which takes up the entire screen and includes a small chat board in the corner. Now, combine true HD, a full screen media player, and a gorgeous model and tell me you're not having a top-tier experience.
Stripchat
Stripchat is one of the only cam sites on the internet on which you can watch a model perform in 4K, and one of only two on which you have use virtual reality hardware. The site has thousands of models, and since it's a freemium site there is a lot of fun to be had for little to no money.
Before we discuss anything else, let's dive right into video quality on Stripchat. There are over 1000 models on the site streaming in HD. Now, I'm not sure how many of those are 720p and how many are 1080p, but with that many rooms it's not difficult to locate a beautiful model with a crisp feed who shares your interests.
HD is only the beginning of this little journey. Stripchat has rooms capable of 4K streaming. If you have a gaming laptop or new television with 3840x2160 resolution and you enter a 4K cam room, the picture quality will be so good you'll feel as though the model is actually in the room with you. It adds a level of intensity you'll never get from 1080p, let alone 720p or less.
Then there's the closest thing next to actually having a model there with you: virtual reality. VR, as it's called, is the technology of the future. It's straight out of a sci-fi movie and if you haven't tried it you need to do so immediately. Stripchat is one of only two sites currently offering VR capablities.
As a freemium site, you can passively watch as many cam shows as you want, unlimited. When you are ready for one on one sessions, private shows start at around $0.80 a minute, and average around $3.50 a minute. There's no extra charge for VR, by the way, which is astonishing.
Conclusion
When you start feeling as though you need a break from LiveJasmin, then these are the 4 sites you need to try out. They each offer unique features and attractive prices. However, once you've counted all the chips, the site with the overall experience and quality closest to LiveJasmin is Flirt4Free. So, if you're scrolled all the way down, to literally get the bottom line, Flirt4Free is my pick.
