Our Review: In the same mold as the infamous iFriends, ImLive is a mainstream cam network that has an enormous “sexual stress-relief” section as they call it. We’ve never been shy for “sexual stress-relief” so we were anxious to see what these guys had to offer.
You’ll find ImLive broken down into various areas that include live sex shows, recorded cam shows, fan clubs, and an area where you can get videos of the girls. You’ll be able to browse through these sections with their text based navigation that breaks down things into broad categories like Girl Alone, Shy Girl Alone (she can’t be too shy if she’s baring all for the world on the net), Girl on Girl, and so on. The “girl alone” section is fairly large and is broken down farther by age, build, ethnicity, hair color and a bunch of other stuff that you may be looking for.
Signing up for a free account is a must as you’ll get access to the free text chat, view host profiles as well as their photo galleries. They’ll need a credit card to verify your age though. You’ll probably want to buy some credits which can be purchased in blocks of $25. We suggest starting with a safe number like $50. ImLive gives you 2 free minutes of video chat with your membership as well. With some credits in your account, you’ll have access to all the promo videos as well as the ability to take any of the girls into a private 1-on-1 xxx show.
This brings us to the girls, one of the most important aspects of any adult cam site. You’ll find that ImLive only comes in 2nd in sheer numbers of online cams to iFriends. They typically have over 500 cams live at any one time and a wide variety. You’ll be able to find areas like BBW at 25 while smaller cam sites have maybe 2-3 on at a time. It certainly is a bonus for those who are looking for a very particular type of girl. They have a nice ratings and award system in place as well to give you an idea for the quality of the cam girl before entering a private session. The ones with high ratings and awards are typically the most experienced and you’ll get the most bang for your buck (they typically can be a little more expensive though). On a sheer scale of babes, we felt that ImLive was at the top in terms of smoking hot chicks available with a lot of girl next door type in the mix.
One of the unique things about ImLive is the fact they run specials and extras very creatively. For one, there is a “happy hour” section to the site that has select girls at a big discount. You’ll find new ones there everyday and it’s a great way to get a discount on your private show. They also have seasonal promotions from an Oktoberfest one to various ones that have the models dressing up to match a certain theme. Might not be a big deal to most, but it’s something unique in an industry that seems to find a lot of clones. We hope they continue these promotions over time as it really adds flavor to their site.
For the most part, you’ll find a lot of variety in the girls and their cam setups. Some girls are working from a studio equipped with top of the line cam hardware while others are working out of their small apartment with a cam they bought at Best Buy. One of the nice features when browsing is the ability to see what the girls have on file in terms of number of videos to the size of their picture gallery. Typically the girls who spend the time to build out this area are the ones you want to spend your time with. If you come across one that you really like, you’ll be able to join their fan club for a nominal monthly fee. This gives you access to direct communication with the girl as well as exclusives. It’s for those who really want to get to know the girl outside of their private shows.
Overall, ImLive is a smaller, cleaner, and easier to use version of iFriends. They certainly don’t match the sheer number of girls online (no one does), but they make up for it with a better interface and cleaner site. They don’t have as many misleading profiles or technical issues. They still maintain a number well above most of their competitors. All in all, ImLive has a lot to offer for cam crazy porn fiends. Sex Cams 101 recommends ImLive highly for anyone looking to immerse themselves into a sex cam site.
