Methodology
Every score on BestCamIndex comes from the same deterministic model. Nothing is hand-waved and nothing is for sale.

We do not publish a score until at least 60% of the weighted criteria are backed by verified data.
Scoring criteria
- Value: entry price and per-minute private-show price, normalised to a reference currency using a static, versioned rate table so a score never moves with the FX market.
- Free experience: whether a free viewing tier exists, whether anonymous watching is possible and whether registration is required.
- Mobile: mobile browsing support and whether a dedicated app is confirmed.
- Features: private shows, cam2cam, native app and language coverage.
- Privacy: anonymous viewing, confirmed privacy features, moderation signals and age-verification depth.
- Payments: number of confirmed payment methods, crypto support and currency coverage.
- Availability: global vs regional reach, with a penalty for each confirmed restriction.
- User experience: registration friction, support channels and hours, moderation and age checks.
Independence
Commission rates, affiliate agreements and partner payouts are never inputs into any score. They are not read by the scoring module at all.
Data sources
Platform data is entered from first-party verification. Unconfirmed fields stay null and render as “Not confirmed”.
