CamSoda.com - Free Live Cam Fetish Shows in HD
CamSoda is a freemium cam site with all the features of a premium site. It offers free live shows, mobile-friendly cam-to-cam sessions, a wide, albeit limited selection of performers ranging from amateurs performing in their bedrooms to professional cam stars streaming in HD from stylized studios. It also hosts a large video library of non-PG performances starring the site's top models. It even has a few free exclusive 4K videos starring some of the biggest names in the adult entertainment industry. And, when it comes to fetishes, this platform has them all.
CamSoda is first and foremost about the live cam shows where tips fuel the action. However, if you're looking for a particular act, things get a bit more tricky. Most of the niche shows such as feet, JOI, domination, and submissive are reserved for private sessions where it's only the two of you. Also, many of the performers here are amateur or semi-pros, so you'll need to check prior to starting any session that the model is experienced in the kink. Even if her bio lists it as a type of genre she's into, it doesn't necessarily mean she's well-versed in the art, it's more an indication that she's willing to try it.
As opposed to premium cam sites, where the gallery of rooms is normally posed photoshopped snapshots, at CamSoda the images are gifs grabbed moments earlier from the performers' live feeds.
CamSoda is a freemium site which means anyone can set up a cam room and establish themselves as a CamSoda live cam model, it also means anything goes in a free open cam room. Many of the models are real exhibitionists, getting wild on cam for their kicks, as opposed for the viewers' pleasure. So, if you do want to see something specific and less vanilla, you will need to enter a private show and most likely find one of the site's more experienced models.

The Fetish Models
There are usually at least a couple of hundred models at CamSoda at any one time who have tagged themselves as fetish performers. The problem at CamSoda is not lack of choice, rather the difficulty in narrowing down your options to only those models that are versed in your particular proclivity. The menu on the homepage features generic categories such as body type, ethnicity, and price per-minute of a private show, but it doesn't give the option to narrow down results via fetishes. To do this you have to click on the view all tags link above the snapshots. This brings up over 200 categories, but not in any useful order to finding specific fetish acts. For example, only on the 2nd page of results do you find Fetish as an option, but even then it's generic as opposed to specific acts.
There is also an option to type in a specific term in the search box on the top left of the main screen. However, this tends to bring up performers whose name features the term and only a few rooms that are using the tag. This is where the free favorites list comes in handy. You can favorite a room even if the performer isn't streaming and next time you go online at CamSoda, you can quickly see who from your chosen performers is streaming and go directly to their room.
The site isn't only about women. There are Couples and Trans hosted rooms to choose from. However, the transgenders at CamSoda only account for around 20 rooms at any given time. There is a link for men but this is somewhat redundant as the only male performers are in the couples room. If you're looking for fun with a hot male performer, CamSoda isn't the place to be.
CamSoda Feature Highlights
When it comes to site bonuses, CamSoda has it all. It may be one of the newer live video chat platforms on the scene, but it's already setting the standard higher for many of its more established competitors. You don't need to pay or be in a certain membership level in order to enjoy a variety of perks usually reserved for VIP or paying users at other sides. For example, at CamSoda once you've registered as a member, you can view any chat room video in a full-screen mode, regardless of your status at the site.
You also get free access to the CamSoda created videos featuring top performers, some of which are viewable in crystal-clear 4K. Many of the models also post their own extreme videos which can be unlock a set number of tokens.
One of CamSoda's best features though is that you can record your private cam session with a performer (as long as they agree), and store a copy of the show in your CamSoda account. You can then access the video and rewatch it as often as you want at no extra cost. And, even though many of the hosts here aren't professionals, the overwhelming majority use HD feeds to stream their saucy free and paid for performances.
Other Great Features Include:
- Premium membership package
- View the month's top voted models

- Schedule of featured shows
- Create a list of favorite models for easy access

Getting Started
You don't need to be a registered member of CamSoda in order to view the free shows and jump from room to room. You can also watch the free videos as a guest user. However, you won't be able to chat with many of the models. Some performers only allow registered users or users with tokens to send them messages using the room's message box. The site will also constantly bring up pop-up ads calling on you to open a free membership profile.
Considering it only takes a few moments to register and doesn't cost a penny, it's worth signing up. Once you have registered, you can also then begin to create a list of favorite models so each time you log-in you can quickly see who's online and click directly into their room.
All you need to do is give the platform a valid email address, choose a username and password and pick a gender.
Chat Show Types & Prices
Basically, there are two main show types at CamSoda, the free cam shows fueled by tips, and private sessions that cost a set per-minute rate. There are ticketed multi-viewer shows which are listed below, but these aren't very common as most multi-viewer shows take place in the free rooms without the audience needing to pay upfront to see the action.
Free Chat
Without a shadow of a doubt, CamSoda is really about the free cam chat shows. As a freemium platform, the models are allowed to do what they want in their open cam rooms. The audience can look for free, but if the model isn't getting tips in, she probably won't be getting up to much. Many of the girls have a menu of rates in their open chat rooms listing the acts that they'll do and how much it will cost in tips in order for them to perform a specific deed.
Private Show
A Private Show is an exclusive cam session where you're the only participant with the model. Many models will only perform a specific fetish in a private show. To start a session you click on the large pink Go Private button in the model's chat room. If you don't have any tokens in your account the site will then ask you to purchase a token bundle, or if you have purchased tokens a box will appear indicating how many CamSoda tokens are required for a minute of private cam chat with the performer. Cam-to-cam is usually included in the per-minute rate. If you don't want to open your webcam you can disable it so the model can't see you.
On average, a private cam show at CamSoda will set you back $2.60 a minute, with the cheapest rates coming in at just $0.55 a minute.
Voyeur Shows
As the name suggests, a Voyeur Show is where you can spy on a model doing all types of daily chores, but in most cases, it's just the performer sleeping or even showering. Normally these rooms feature a camera fixed to a wall giving an overview of the room. You can't interact with the model in any way in these settings but the shows are free to watch.
Ticket Shows
Ticket Shows are multi-viewer live shows. These are mainly found in premium cam sites where the hosts don't get wet and wild in the open chat rooms. At freemium cam sites, they are less popular as many of the models get extremely naughty in their open chat rooms with the audience encouraged to tip in order to see specific acts. Though, some of the models at CamSoda also host Ticket Shows. How they work is that prior to a show you purchase a ticket for a few tokens and the show will start if the performer sells her set goal number of tickets. These shows are rare at CamSoda and only a few models choose to host them. The length of the show varies, as does the price of a ticket.
Spy Shows
Many hosts will let you Spy on the private performance they're giving to another member. For a handful of tokens you can see what she's doing in a private session. You will only be able to watch her perform, you won't be able to interact with her.
Payment Methods
CamSoda offers a choice of payment methods including the option to pay by bank wire transfer or personal check.
- Credit or Debit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, JCB, Diners, Discover
- PayPal
- Gift cards: Home Depot, Target, Best Buy, Walmart, and more
- Bank Wire Transfer
- Bank Check
The image above shows the price per token if you are using a credit card to pay for the bundle. If you are using PayPal, the prices go up slightly. For example, 100 tokens will cost you $12.09 if you charge your PayPal account, instead of $10.99 when you use a credit card.
Customer Service
In most aspects of live cams, CamSoda is at the top of their game. One place that isn't so A-class is their customer support facilities. At the bottom right of the homepage are links to Billing Support and Support. The Billing Support link brings up phone numbers and email contacts for your payment provider. Support features a FAQ regarding mainly technical issues about the site.
The only way to contact the site directly is via email. An icon featuring an envelope is on the bottom left of the page next to the symbol for Facebook, Youtube, Snapchat and Twitter. There is no direct phone number or live chat assistance.
Membership Benefits
There is no free member's loyalty program at CamSoda. It has one paid-for benefit program which costs $19.95 a month. If you sign up to this, you become a Premium member and get a range of benefits, though little actual tangible extras apart from the free 200 tokens you get the first time you sign-up as a Premium member. Considering it costs $20.00 to purchase 200 tokens, it's worth signing up as a Premium Member for one month. For the same price as buying the tokens, you get the added benefits.
After that first month is over, you'll know whether the other perks are worth spending $19.95 a month on.
CamSoda On Mobile Devices
When it comes to a private cam-to-cam show on a mobile device, tablet, or smartphone, CamSoda was one of the first freemium cam sites offering c2c mobile-friendly private video chat shows. You can view a chat room in a full-screen mode if you flip the phone horizontally, although you won't be able to message the model in this direction.
If you want to send a message to the performer, a vertical mode is the easiest, but bear in mind the live video window is reduced to just over one-third of the screen. The rest is taken up by the keyboard and messaging box.
Webcam Streaming Quality
Even though the majority of the performers here are amateurs and streaming from their homes as opposed to professional studio settings, most have invested in HD webcam feeds. It's easy to see which rooms are HD enabled without having to click through into the hangout. The photos feature a small HD icon so you know the pleasures that await once you enter the chat room are being broadcast in at least HD 720p.
However, when you click through into the live feed, check that the HD button on the bottom left of the video is highlighted. The show may not automatically come through in the highest resolution available. You can also switch off the HD feed and lower the broadcasting quality to SD, if your bandwidth struggles with HD.
Our Readers Have Asked:
Does CamSoda give away free tokens?
You may see websites or promo codes telling you to click on them to get free CamSoda tokens. Chances are these are bait links. The platform currently doesn't give away any tokens. You can get 200 free tokens when you purchase the first month of a premium membership package - but you're paying $19.95 for the month. Occasionally the platform hosts sign-up promos that give you additional tokens when you make your first purchase of tokens. One giveaway, it does sometimes offer, is that of gifting members free tokens when they verify a credit card's details at the site. The number of tokens you get if you link you account to a credit card can vary between 50-100 tokens.
Who are the best models to watch on CamSoda?
You can click on the link above the gallery of photos showing Top Rated. These are the performers that have the highest user recommendations. Another way to see who are the most popular cam models is to look at the number next to the eyeball icon on the photo. The higher the number of people watching the show, generally the hotter and kinkier the model is.
I'm looking for a particular fetish that isn't listed in the search pages at CamSoda, Does this mean no model performs that fetish?
Not necessarily. CamSoda doesn't have a lot of sub-genres listed in its search categories. However, the hosts themselves practice many niche acts that aren't listed. Many tag themselves with the act in the bio, but just as many don't mention the particular proclivity, especially if it's a not commonly requested act. In order to find it, you can search for more common genres that are listed and are in the same type of fetish family. Once you find a suitable model, it's worth messaging her in private to see if she's also a practitioner of your favorite kink.
Do models use toys at CamSoda?
Yes. Many of the CamSoda models use interactive toys that can be turned on by a viewer tipping a certain amount. To find these shows use the left menu on the homepage and selected Interactive Toys from the Tags grouping.
Conclusion
CamSoda is one of the best freemium webcam platforms around today. It may not have the thousands of performers streaming that you'll find on comparable sites, but this isn't an issue. The models here cover every ethnicity, skill, body type, fetish, and age. More importantly, even though many are amateurs or semi-pro cam girls, for the large part they use HD webcam feeds and know exactly how to perform in front of a camera, making sure not a moment of the non-PG action is missed.
If you're looking for some generic fun, tipping in a free cam session is the way to go. However, for a particular fetish, you'll need to take a model into a 1on1 encounter. Fortunately rates are low and most per-minute prices are inclusive of cam-to-cam. Always check though with the model before starting any paid-for performance that she's up for getting the particular kink on and she has the necessary accessories or outfits at hand.
With so many free shows, adult videos, and naughty images to enjoy without paying a penny, there's not a reason we can think of why anyone wouldn't want to check out CamSoda. It's a live-action cam paradise for fetish enthusiasts.
