How to Save Money on Stripchat
One of the most popular cam sites online, Stripchat makes an impressive effort to cater to its users looking to save money on sex chatting with webcam models. There are bonus tokens available to first-time users, token discounts and seasonal deals to all users, filters to sort for the cheapest private chat rates, multiple show types that are cheaper than private shows, cam site token giveaways for active users, and discounted tipping and show rates when joining a webcam model's Fan Club.
To understand where you are starting from, you should know that the cheapest private cam shows on Stripchat start at $0.77 per minute, and the average rate across all webcam models is $3.08 per minute.
And with keeping costs in mind, it's good to note for yourself that the price of a Stripchat token ranges from $0.09 to $0.11 per token. Purchasing the largest tokens package available gets you the cheaper price per token.
Take advantage of bonuses and deals on tokens packages
To get new users started, Stripchat is usually running a discount on their preset tokens packages. It's not guaranteed that the same offer will always be available, but there is usually some significant discount to get a new user to make their first purchase. As well, for all users, Stripchat has seasonal and holiday deals that everyone should keep an eye our for.
If the default tokens packages are not enough for you, select the Get Larger Packages link on the purchase page and you will be directed to where you can submit a request to purchase larger tokens packages. Then simply explain what it is you are looking for and the Stripchat Customer Service will get back to you with instructions.
If you are using a pay method that is not a Credit Card, like a Gift Card, Bitcoin, or PayPal to pay for cam site tokens, note that the bonus amounts do change according to how you pay.
Filter for the cheapest private webcam rooms
The fastest way to get to all of the webcam models that are asking for the bare minimum at Stripchat is to filter for all the models asking for the lowest per minute rate. These cam rooms range from $0.77 to $1.16 per minute. Though, keep in mind, that on Stripchat, most performers are asking for at least a five minute commitment of private show time, with many asking for 10 minutes to agree to entering into a private show.
Stripchat is one of the most populated cam sites, with around 7000 online webcam rooms broadcasting at all times of the day. At each private show price level, you will find hundreds, it not thousands of active performers. At the cheapest price level, you can expect to see a lot of new and ambitious webcam models working hard to gain an audience.
Join a Group or Ticket Show
Group Shows typically cost less than private shows as the performer has set their show type to allow any number of users to enter into their show and participate in the sex chatting. These shows are identified with an icon on the preview webcam window, and in the webcam room itself. Unlike private shows, there is no set amount of time you need to commit to.
Ticket Shows cost less than your average private shows, and are set when the performer is in their open room status and announces that they will soon start their Ticket Show. These shows have a fixed price as opposed to a Group Show's per minute rate. This will be the only price paid to have a seat at the show for however long it lasts, even if it will go past its set time. In these shows, the webcam models are encouraged by the tips they get from ticker holders. If the model is continuing to garner tips then the show can go on and on.
If you find a Group or Ticket Show that has already started, you can still enter the show by selecting the Join Now button.
Go voyeuristic with a Spy Show
If a performer that you have favorited is busy in a private show, you may still have the opportunity to watch with Spy Shows. This specified type of show type has its own category in the Private Shows Price list. At Stripchat, there are two types of one-on-one shows: Private and Exclusive Private. Exclusive Privates cost a bit more as they close off the Spy Show access to other users. And Privates allow other users to "spy" on the performance the webcam model is giving to a user that started the 1on1 show.
Users with tokens can get a 15 second peek into a Spy Show before having to pay the discounted show rate. And there is no time commitment with Spy Shows, as you may exit the show at any time.
Record a Public or Private Show to later watch for free
Be sure to record the private cam shows you pay for. You can keep your own private library of shows that you have directed. Then, when you do not want to spend money on any new webcam shows, you can rewatch one of your past shows without having to pay anything extra. All recordings are saved in the My Collection area of your member profile.
Stripchat is one of the few cam sites that enable both public and private show recording. With private shows, when the model has the recording feature enabled, you will get a recording of the show at no additional charge. Public show recording does cost, but there is no time commitment, though these shows do often cost more per minute than the rate of the model's private show rate.
Often, you will find that the most expensive webcam models for private shows will set their public show recording rate at a lower cost per minute than if you take them into a one-on-one.
Join a model's Fan Club for discounts
Joining a model's Fan Club requires an initial investment, but it could pay off with continued savings when you find yourself enamored by any specific webcam model. If you are spending more on one model than on any other, then that's the time to think about joining their Fan Club with its discounts on tipping and private shows.
The three Fan Club tiers:
- Soldier costs $9.99 per month
- Lord costs $19.99 per month
- Price costs $49.99 per month
At the Solder tier, tipping and private shows get a 10% discount, with the Lord tier getting 25% off tipping, and 29% off privates, and the Prince tier getting 33% off tipping and 30% off privates. Additional benefits for each include exclusive videos, free spying, and special badges that inform the model that you are a fan.
Be there for the Hourly Token Giveaways

I have been working in adult entertainment since the early 2000's. I started as an assistant on porn production sets, and then I moved on to above-the-line production work. Eventually, I took everything to the web, working on mainstream porn sites, fetish porn sites, and best sex cam sites.
