Advertisements
When you join a public chat room on Cam4, a video ad often interrupts the cammodel’s webcam stream right from the start. It can be frustrating as the ads frequently play instead of the actual video. Additionally, Cam4’s pages are filled with banner ads.
In contrast, Stripchat is completely ad-free.
Cammodel choice
In my opinion, when comparing the cammodels on Cam4 to those on Stripchat, there seem to be more attractive women on Stripchat.
Webcam quality
The webcam streaming quality of some cammodels on Cam4 is quite poor. Their streams are often choppy, with low-resolution video compared to other cammodel platforms. Sometimes, the screen even goes black during a show. Some cammodels stream using their smartphones, which results in two large black bars on the sides of the video. We also noticed that some cammodels on Cam4 have basic internet subscriptions with low bandwidth, contributing to the poor quality.
In contrast, I don’t recall experiencing choppy streams or black screens on Stripchat. Many of the chat rooms there are streamed in HD, which makes a noticeable difference.
Private chat
Cam2cam is available on Stripchat and works smoothly. On Cam4, there’s an option to enable cam2cam, but it didn’t work properly on MacOS or PC. Instead, some Cam4 cammodels suggest using Skype for cam2cam sessions, but they require a large tip upfront through Cam4.
The text chat on Cam4 can also feel restrictive. Some cammodels limit text chat to just 5 minutes, which can be frustrating.
Additionally, many cammodels on Cam4 seem to be more exhibitionists than true performers. They tend to live stream for only 30-45 minutes before disconnecting. This can be annoying, especially when you’re about to start a private chat and the cammodel suddenly logs off after you’ve already purchased tokens. On top of that, many Cam4 cammodels don’t show their face, even in private chats. Paying for a private session only to see parts of the cammodel’s body is disappointing. On Stripchat, however, only a few cammodels hide their face during shows.
Stripchat is far more advanced than Cam4 in terms of features, offering private chats in virtual reality that are compatible with several VR headsets.
Lastly, we found the attitude of many Cam4 cammodels lacking. They often don’t seem concerned about the customer experience. While there are some Stripchat cammodels who are indifferent as well, they aren’t nearly as common as those on Cam4.
Price per minute
Overall, we believe prices for text chats on Stripchat and Cam4 are about the same on average.
Conclusion
When considering the lack of cam2cam, frequent video ads, and the poor video quality of some cammodels, Cam4 simply can’t compete with Stripchat. Stripchat outperforms Cam4 in every aspect.
