1. Private live chats are always entertaining.
2. Site design looks smooth.
1. Not a lot of models online at any one time.
2. Video quality doesn't improve with the larger formats.
3. VIP membership an additional $29.95/month.
4. Can get expensive.
"Hard to avoid a VIP membership with a site like this, and the per min. $ is already pricy." |

Flirt4Free.com is brought to you by Video Secrets and offers access to more than 36,900+ models with there being somewhere closer to 40+ of them live at any 1 time. There's a big discrepancy between the 2 numbers, but even still you have to admit they've got quite a selection. Pricing is set at about $6 bucks per minute for a private 1-on-1 chat and goes down from there. The cheapest option is for Party Chat, which is offered at $.99 per minute. Basically you but in 5 minute increments from 4 minutes in private ($29.99) to 20 minutes in private ($119.99), and then I guess you just keep buying from there? They also offer a VIP membership as an option, but it will cost you an additional $29.95 per month but VIP members get access to the Live Show Archives, Free Group Char, Video Interviews, Photos, priority highlights in chat, and more. That's quite a lot of dough but if you've got some money to spend, being a VIP member clearly has it's benefits no matter where you are, but is it worth it? Let's find out:
The Good:
- Well I came here twice in 2 days, once on a Saturday night and again on a Monday afternoon. On Saturday there were 39+ girls online and on Monday 45+. While this certainly isn't the largest selection of live girls found online, they do have a model archive of something like 36,900+ models, 200+ of which have schedules you can look at, and 225+ of which have bios as well. They also offer a Live Mens section with the same user information.
- Site is pretty well organized as far as looking for girls goes. Model bios offer some basic information, preview images and more. Voyeur mode allows you to also brows the models by specifics like: hair color, BBW, exotic, ebony, Latina, lesbian, mature, etc. They have one sort-of cool feature where you can go into multi-user chat, which usually also features more than 1 model performing. I wasn't able to check out how well this feature actually worked, but the idea is kind-of cool if you can get someone to team up with.
- When entering a pay chat, you are given the choice of 4 videos sizes - from small to extra large. I found the extra large video to be too pixilated to enjoy, but the large looked okay. The smoothest looking stream was obviously the smallest one, but the medium size would work just fine for most, which was about 340x280.
The Bad:
- This site can get very expensive! On top of an almost $30 buck per month membership fee (that gets you all the cool user-features, bogs and pictures), private 1-on-1's are about $6 bucks per minute, voyeur mode (to watch someone else’s 1-on-1) is about $2 bucks per minute as is the group chat options.
- Video quality can vary depending on the set-up for the girls. While it was overall pretty good, the actual streaming quality of the video did not improve from the smallest video to the extra largest, only the size of the video changed. Therefore, you actually don't get to see super nice & large videos, just so-so quality videos in larger sizes.
- There are quite as many browsing features as I would have liked. They offer a few specific categories for the girls, but nothing as far as fetishes are anything too far from the norm. Also, compared to some of the other live chat sites, Flirt 4 Free doesn't have nearly as many models online, live at any one time. And the ones that are online, there’s no way to tell whether or not they’re in a Private show or if they’re free to chat until you log-in to the show. This is one of the biggest downfalls of the site, I think.
The Conclusion:
While Flirt4Free does a pretty good job at delivering a live webcam and chat site, they certainly don't do it for the cheapest price. If they had a larger selection of models online at any 1 time, I might feel differently about the bang versus the buck. Also, there is not really that much bonus content offered for VIP members. I couldn't even find the thousands of photos they advertise. I will say, though, that members get the special treatment when it comes to viewing live girls and entering chats, which makes sense, but it's also an additional $30 bucks a month, and that's just a lot for very little. In the end I was left wanting a bit more than Flirt 4 Free could offer, especially at the price.
