CamSoda.com Review - The #1 Freemium Cam Site
Nowadays, there are lots of decent freemium cam sites. Not one of them, though, is as great as CamSoda is. Apart from being one of the best free adult cam site in the world, CamSoda has zero annoying ads, fantastic features, a fast and slick interface, a beautifully optimized mobile platform, and even free content that won't cost you a dime.
One of the best, and most rare features CamSoda offers is a live video preview of every single cam room. They're all streaming at the same time when you enter, making filtering options obsolete, and instead gives you all the nudity and sex acts you desire right there in front of you without needing to enter a single cam room.
Pros Vs Cons
Pros
- Completely free nudity and sex acts
- Super cheap private live shows
- Great interactivity options like social media
- Free content such as full length CamSoda productions
- Cam2cam is free on both desktop and mobile
- Live video previews of all the cam rooms
- Use gift cards to pay for live cam chat
Cons
- Not as many online models as on other cam sites
- Inaccurate categorization system
- Unhelpful search engine
The Models
CamSoda should take great pride in its collection of cam girls. While it isn't as large as what other cam sites may offer, it is surprisingly varied. There are a lot of different talents using CamSoda's platform, and many of them are as beautiful and lively as you would hope.
The first thing you'll notice is that most of them will be naked and mid-show. CamSoda gets down to business right from the get-go, flashing with a mass preview of a couple dozen rooms of hot, lewd activities. It's more than likely that CamSoda has some of the horniest cam girls out of any cam site, seeing as how they're engaged in some sort of sexual performance for hours on end.
There is a downside here, though. While there will probably be dozens of models here that you'll be more than happy to shell out for an intimate time with, finding them is going to take you time. CamSoda's search and categorization features are anything but helpful, and my advice is that you ignore them altogether. Why? Well, the site uses a tag system so its members can find a model based on what she has tagged herself. The problem is that there's no oversight on this system, and models just end up tagging themselves as whatever they feel like.
Still, CamSoda's handy mass preview feature, which shows you video clips of the respective cam shows, helps alleviate that problem. The filter on the left has the same issues, but there is one category it's pretty accurate and helpful with, and that's price per minute.
Video Quality
The quality of CamSoda's shows is generally very good. While some shows have a bit of a frame rate issue and tend to stutter, most don't, and tend to load faster than you can blink.
CamSoda has no regulation concerning video resolution, but many cam models on the site opt to stream in HD nevertheless. It makes a big difference, especially on the first pages of the site, where you'll see a ton of gorgeous, naked babes in wonderful 720p.
Prices
CamSoda is one of the cheapest adult cam sites around. They have a wide range of token packages that give you more tokens for less money the bigger the package is. Not all the packages are visible to anyone who is unregistered, but that is why I'm here. Below is the breakdown of the different packages:
Visit CamSoda now to take advantage of the site's limited time offers. If you verify your payment method (no payment needed), you'll receive 200 free tokens, worth $20, and you'll be able to set your daily spending limit, raising it as high as you like. I suggest you use these free tokens to get a better feel for the site. After all, there's nothing better to help you figure out if you like a product than using it.
Chat Types
While CamSoda probably isn't leading anyone's charts in terms of variety of show types, it does have a couple that aren't offered by most chat sites. It's more than I expected, to be honest, as most only come here for the open chat, which is a shame.
Open Chat
This is where you will most likely be spending most of your time, and I can't fault you for that. CamSoda's open chat is mesmerizing. When you'll first visit it, you'll feel like a kid in a candy shop, and won't know where to start. Since even free members get access to every chat room and can watch all the adult action happening live, you won't be lacking options.
The first thing you'll notice is the prevalence of Lovense cam shows, where the viewers can remotely control the cam model's vibrator through tipping. It is, in fact, so common here that the sex toy's pink color makes the entire site look pink. It is also one of the reasons why the site feels so active; What better way is there to keep a performer engaged than to give her viewers control over her orgasm? Trick question - there isn't one.
Private Chat
While the site is certainly tip-based in its core, private chats are still a big hit among its members thanks largely to how great and cheap they are. For an average of $3.06 a minute, and for as low as $0.61 a minute, you can take a gorgeous professional to a private room where she'll do her best to make your wildest dreams come true. Among the cam sites offering recordable shows, your private show recording is free and you can rewatch it whenever you like, directly from your profile under the My Media section.
In addition to this cool option, you can also record the public stream, for a fee. Another free feature is that if you're a member (registered), you can turn on your cam even during these public chats, to get the model's attention.
Group Chat
Called Ticket Shows on CamSoda, these cheap group shows are a fantastic alternative to those of you who want some heavy action for cheap and don't mind other people spamming tips. I have to say that I didn't, since the point of it was less to get the model's attention, and more to see how far back her eyes can roll back into her head. Whoever invented remote-controlled sex toys has my best regards.
In any case, this works simply: You pay a small price for a ticket (usually just a few tokens) and, if enough people purchase tickets, the show will start and you'll have a seat. Just sit back, unbutton your pants and enjoy. If not enough tickets are sold, you're refunded what you paid, and that's it.
Spy Chat
Pretty straightforward: You can spy on other members' private chats. Not all models on CamSoda allow this, though, so rest assured that whether you like to be watched or not, you'll have your options open. These shows tend to cost much less than normal private shows. They're really a great option if you're looking for an intense session and don't really care for the added intimacy of a private chat.
Voyeur Chat
CamSoda has a few rooms that are active 24/7 where you can spy on a house full of hot cam models living out their normal lives. Yes, I'm aware that their lives are far from normal, but they still eat, sleep and lounge just like anyone else. These cam rooms are completely free.
Unique Features and Extra Content
While CamSoda is all about getting you hyped, horny and tip-happy, it does have some nice extra content. For starters, like on most sites, the cam models on CamSoda offer hot photos and video of themselves in action that you can purchase. Great for those who find a few favorite cam babes and want some exclusive extra content of them, preferably while their nude and moaning. And, some models offer Custom Videos, where you pay in advance, and specify exactly what you want your model to record. I advise you to chat with your model before you pay, to make sure she'll give you the show that you want.
On the top right of CamSoda you'll see a link to Top BB Posts. This is the social platform of the site, and allows members to post videos and sexy pics, and you can be one of them. Other than the super fun community feel that this gives, and the fun content you'll see, there's an even better reason to participate: If you are one of the top 5 upvoted posts that week, you can win up to 2500 free tokens, worth $250!
Additionally, CamSoda makes its own porn. Yes, actual, professionally made porn. I know that this is becoming more and more of a niche nowadays, when homemade porn has become the norm, but I'm still a sucker for high quality production adult videos, especially when it's free. If you too like to dabble, you can find these at the soda vids section at the top of the site. You'll find mostly parodies there, along with the occasional gangbang.
Mobile Site
CamSoda is one of the best mobile adult cam sites there is. It not only works fantastically well on the phone and looks great on its smaller screen, it's also among the few cam sites that offer mobile cam2cam. If you want some adult entertainment on the go, you couldn't do better.
There's no need to download any app, CamSoda just works. You open your browser on you phone, go to CamSoda.com, and viola - instant cam porn fun.
Premium Membership and Rewards Program
CamSoda gives you the option of becoming a premium member for $19.95 a month. This is what you'll be getting from that:
Now, let me break down the benefits to you: While an ad-free interface sounds great, it's not much different from that of a regular member. CamSoda barely has ads. Being able to change the tip volume, though, is great, as I just tend to mute it altogether, and since I still want to hear the show, it's pretty essential for me.
The best feature here may be anonymous tipping, chat, and stealth mode. With it, you can choose who sees you in the cam room (no one, everyone, or just the model), and who can tell you just tipped her (same options). This is a really great tool of there are lots of members in the cam room and you want to set yourself apart from the pack.
Private messaging is also a great feature to have, since who doesn't want to be able to message a model or fellow member. Finally, the free credits, which amount to about $20.00, makes the whole thing practically pay for itself. Overall, if you intend to visit the site even once or twice a month, it's still beneficial for you to purchase the premium membership. It's just going to save you money and maybe a headache.
Registration
There's not much to say here. Registering for CamSoda takes seconds. It's easier than walking from your couch to the fridge. You just enter a valid username, email and password and you're done. No email confirmation or payment method validation required. You can even go for your Google account and shave a few seconds off that super quick process.

Security and Quality Assurance
CamSoda covers all the bases, and then some. It uses HTTPS protocol and SSL encryption to protect your information and ensure that your connection is private, and Epoch and SegPay to process your payment in a secure fashion. Should you have technical problems mid-show, you can contact CamSoda support to receive a refund in tokens. Just make sure you do so immediately. CamSoda is also a big proponent of child protection and works with three different non-profits, RTA, SafeLabeling and the ASACP, to make sure that no registered member or model on the site is a minor.
Customer Support
CamSoda offers a handy FAQ and support page, with specific details on what to do should you have a billing problem. There's also live chat dedicated to resolving billing issues, but for anything else, email is unfortunately your only option.
In Conclusion
There's really no good reason not to visit CamSoda. Its developers made sure to make one of the most accessible, cheap and secure cam sites on the market. They also made sure it's eye-popping camming platform, with hot naked cam girls abound. CamSoda may not give you the best ways to find anything specific that you might want to, but it it has more than enough in it to be worth your time and money. Since it's essentially free, there is really no reason for you not to give it a try.
