SecretFriends camgirls enjoy a cult following. This camsite really lets you get close and personal.
In a nutshell: models are what sets this site appart / around 30 camgirls online / no free chat, moderately priced semi-private chat only
Video quality: really pristine video feeds in a reasonable size, using Macromedia Flash-based chatblazer software. This is already the first distinguishing feature: the use of a chat system that is not specific to camgirls sites already makes you feel that you are in a different environment. The downsides are that you cannot resize the video feed and that there is no cam2cam available. Secretfriends however allows you to send your pic to the models.
Features: there is no free chat, but free previews of the video feeds are available, allowing you to know what's happening in the room before you join the chat. Once you get into chat mode, you are presented with messenger-type functions: you can add buddies - including the camgirl - you can customize the fonts, use many emoticons and most importantly you can lock yourself in whisper chat mode where only the intended recipient of your messages (most likely the model) is seeing what you type. You can also have the text chat window float and move it around your screen. Camgirls also have the option to change their chat icon. Overall, the chatting experience is very similar to what you would have on the popular messengers, except that you are flirting with a model and that you pay a fee. The offline features are not very extensive, but they are still original. For instance, Secretfriends' model bios include entries such as "what would I do if I had 1 million dollars" aside from the more obvious questions. The site also allows members to send their pics and email messages to the models. The models' schedule is clear, updated weekly and very accurate, so that you will never miss your favorite friends.
Models: only around 20 to 30 models are available at any time, but what wonderful ladies! Camgirls are typically from Eastern Europe and work out of studios, although some are real independent amateurs. Because Secretfriends only offers paid-for chat, and as an effect of the chat features, members tend to flirt and get personal with camgirls. Most models do provide adult entertainment, but you will also find girls who only want to tease and be teased. Most Secretfriends camgirls speak proper English and can entertain a great conversation. Some of them were not happy with the free/private chat model used by most other websites, presumably because they look for more than mere adult entertainment. It is really easy to develop a personal relationship with these camgirls. This is possibly the reason why Secretfriends rules are so strict and provide for the banning of any camgirl providing members with their contact details or phone numbers.
Camgirls reviewed: In our testing, we met very welcoming chathosts, including Edita and Allye, who are featured in our camgirls reviews.
Value for money: no free chat but free voyeur video previews. Registration is at $1 for age verification purposes, and earns you 200 credits or around 20 minutes of chat. There is no recurring charge. Depending on the amount of credits you purchase, pricing is at around $1 per minute, which is quite cheap compared to other camsites. There is no real private chat as other members can join at all times. In our testing, however, other visits were relatively rare, which in effect gives you a private chat experience for the price of what other sites call semi-private or "group chat". There is a clear timer letting you know how many credits you have left and warning you when your credit is low.
