Why Choose XModels or IsLive?
XModels and IsLive are the two largest webcam sites in the EU. Both sites are available in a number of languages, with support teams also available in English. If you are looking for an international audience, or if you feel like you are struggling on UK-only sites, then XModels and IsLive are well worth trying out.
On the surface both XModels and IsLive may seem similar, but there are some differences when it comes to pay percentages, payment methods, and features which will appeal to different cam performers, and in particular, performers who are looking for more flexible and frequent payouts.

What these differences mean
We can see that XModels and IsLive share a lot of similar features. What webcam site you choose will depend on what you are looking for, or what you already have experience in. If you are looking to log in, work, and make money, you may be more comfortable working on IsLive because of their no free chat feature.
If you are already an experienced model, or have worked with sites like Streamate or Chaturbate, then you may feel at home with XModels. Although XModels does have a free chat mode (where you need to work for tips or bring a visitor into paid chat), you do have a higher earning potential as you are paid per credit. If you can work with the credits system then you will earn much more than on IsLive.
XModels offering a daily pay option without the need to join a studio will no doubt be refreshing to many cam performers. Please note that this option is only available to members with a Paxum or ePayServices account. If you have any experience with split camming, or if you are looking to join multiple sites, joining both XModels and IsLive can help boost your income.
