What using xHamster Live is like
xHamster Live is the cam section of xHamster, and it runs on Stripchat's technology. If you already have an xHamster account, you can log in with it and start watching without creating anything new. If you don't, there's little here you won't find on Stripchat itself.
How it works
Public rooms are free to watch with no signup, and shows run on tip goals. The interface, room types and many of the performers mirror Stripchat's, including the mobile-first player.
What it costs
The starter pack is 90 tokens for about $9.99, around $0.11 a token. Private rates are set by performers. Spy shows commonly cost about 9 to 12 tokens a minute, or roughly $1.00 to $1.33, which makes spying one of the cheaper ways in.
Paying
Card, crypto and gift cards. Gift cards are unusual among cam sites and useful if you'd rather not use a bank card at all. See our privacy and billing guide.
Where it falls short
It adds little to Stripchat, and support can be slow at peak times.
Who should use xHamster Live
Regular xHamster users who want cams under the same login, and viewers who want to pay with gift cards. Everyone else can go to Stripchat directly.
