ImLive is a cam hosting service that connects users to cam models for free chats and private pay shows. Accounts are free, though to access most private shows and features that go beyond a mere clothed tease, you’ll need to buy credits. This is similar to most of the webcam sites online today, where rates, donations/tributes, and other features are available and vary from model to model.
The site has been recognized with numerous industry awards, including the AVN Awards for Best Live Chat Site in 2011, 2012, and 2015. It has been going strong for over 15 years, and was one of the early pioneers of live cam chat content. Currently, the site boasts between 70 and 80,000 registered models (or “hosts” as they call them), and rarely has less than 1,000 on at any given time, even during “off hours” in America and Europe. That’s just one more reason why the site has upwards of 62 million registered members.
The main draw of the site is the massive base of cam models of all shapes and sizes, nationalities and orientations, performing live shows 24/7 from all around the world. There are, however, some cool additional little features and bonuses that you won’t find at every cam site. These include:
While a webcam is not required to use the site, users who wish to use their own webcam for two way chats in private sessions are able to do so, which can really add to the personalized intimate experience.
One of the most interesting features that really allows for a custom experience is the ability to write and post requests for your ultimate fantasy/fetish chat, and various hosts who are willing to fulfill that fantasy will respond and try to work out arrangements for a private session. It doesn’t get more interactive than that!
The site features most of the typical cam model categories that are fairly standard today, including Solo Girl, Solo Boy (Straight), Solo Boy (Gay), Girl/Girl, Boy/Boy, Boy/Girl, Threesomes/Groups, Fetish/BDSM, Trans Alone, Trans Couples, and a somewhat tamer Friends and Romance category.
While primarily an amateur cam site, ImLive occasionally hosts private and multi-person sessions with big name pornstars (women and men) about once a month. A number of well-known adult actors and actresses have been featured in the past, including Lana Rhoades, Teagan Presley, Mercedes Carrera, Jimmy Durano, Skin Diamond, Lexi Belle, Jake Ashford, Adriana Chechik, and more.
ImLive is a stand-alone site/quasi-network and not affiliated with any particular porn studio. They do have other affiliated sites that cater to different tastes and content, such as the male-themed Supermen site, which we reviewed separately here. These are not, strictly-speaking, network sites, since they aren’t labeled on each other’s pages as being related. However, the male model content on Supermen, for example, is the same male model content that can be found on ImLive. Note however that accounts, credits, etc. are not shared between sites.
FREE CONTENT ALERT!
All accounts and a number of basic features are completely free, and don’t require any credit card or other verification – simply an email, username, and password creation. There are no subscription plans and no base membership fee for the free accounts, ever.
Users can browse through all the hosts and get some free previews, free chats and teaser videos. Purchasing credits upgrades your account type, with several tiers of free account type (new, bronze, silver, gold, and VIP). Each successive membership level provides access to more free content, discounts, and perks. Again, there are no membership fees, but the more you spend in purchasing credits, the more freebies/perks you get. There are some other features, raffles, and “cheaper” group shows as well – obviously, the best stuff and most interactive experiences are going to cum at a cost.
That cost cums from purchasing credits to use to pay for shows and other features. Credits currently cost $1 USD per credit, and live private chats run from just shy of 1 credit to almost 6 credits per minute, so the cost can add up very fast. A 10 minute private show with an average ranked model could easily cost $30 or more. In most cases, there’s a per-minute rate option, and a discounted option for buying 30 or 60 minutes of a model’s time up front. Nevertheless, it is quite easy to spend a lot of money very fast.
ImLive delivers on the promise of bringing a wide range of live models to users for intimate one-on-one video chats. It is definitely not the flashiest cam site in terms of design, but it gets the job done, and there are some nice features that aren’t available everywhere. If you really like cam sites, have tried others and been unsatisfied, or are just looking for some new models and features, it’s worth signing up for a free account to check things out. However, private chats with models can be very expensive on this site, so be careful to watch your wallet while watching their asses!
