There are two ways to follow a creator on the platforms Fansimo lists. On a live cam site like Stripchat, you watch a model stream in real time. On a fan page, on OnlyFans or MYM, the creator posts photos and videos to a feed you open whenever you like. What is free, and what you pay for, is quite different between the two.
How live cams work
On Stripchat, models stream live shows. A public show is free to watch: you open the model’s room and watch while she is live.
You pay with tokens, Stripchat’s own credits, bought on Stripchat. Tokens go to:
- Tips during a show, of the amount you choose.
- Private shows, one-to-one with the model, charged by the minute.
Some models also run group shows. On Fansimo, the Live Cams page shows which models are live right now, and a model’s profile says when she was last live.
How fan pages work
On OnlyFans and MYM, a creator posts photos and videos to a feed. You subscribe for a monthly price set by the creator, and many OnlyFans pages are free to follow. On every page, free or paid, extras cost money: paid messages, tips, and on MYM custom content at a price the creator sets.
Nothing is live: the feed is there whenever you open it, and you can come back to past posts.
The main differences
- When: a live show happens at a given moment; a feed is there any time.
- What is free: public cam shows, and the feed of a free OnlyFans page.
- How you pay: tokens for tips and private shows on Stripchat; a monthly subscription, plus paid messages and tips, on a fan page.
- Keeping it: a live show is over when it ends; a feed keeps its past posts.
Which one suits you?
- To watch someone now, for free, open the Live Cams page and pick a model who is live.
- To follow a creator’s photos and videos over time, choose a fan page, and start with one of the free creator pages.
- For one-to-one time, a private show on Stripchat is paid by the minute; on a fan page, messages and their paid extras are the way.
Pay safely
Pay only on the platform itself
Tokens are bought on Stripchat, subscriptions on OnlyFans or MYM. Fansimo never takes payments. A “token generator”, or a site selling tokens outside Stripchat, is not run by Stripchat: never enter your login or card details there.
Prices change on the platforms at any time. Before you pay, check the price on the platform itself.
Questions fans ask
Is watching a live cam free?
Public shows on Stripchat are free to watch. Tips and private shows are paid with tokens, Stripchat’s own credits.
What are tokens?
Stripchat’s own credits. You buy them on Stripchat and spend them on tips and private shows. Fansimo never sells tokens.
How do I see who is live right now?
The Live Cams page on Fansimo shows which models are streaming now, and their cards say so. The list is refreshed every few minutes.
Is a free OnlyFans page the same as a free cam show?
No. A free page lets you follow the creator’s feed at no cost, any time. A free cam show is a live stream you watch while it happens. Both have paid extras.
