Most of the sites operate with tokens and credits instead of dollars and euros.

How Much Do Streamate Golds Cost
Streamate currency is called Gold. When a customer tips models in public or private chat, a notification pops up +X amount of Gold. When a user takes a model to a private chat, they pay a per minute rate set up by a model.
Golds are automatically converted into your local currency. For US users 1 gold=1 dollar. For British users 1 gold=1 pound and so on. Some world currency options are missing on Streamate, and if that`s the case, member would pay in dollars.
So there`s no distinction between golds and dollars on Streamate. Once a new member signs up on site, they link their credit card. It will not be charged unless a member decides to tip a model or invite her to private chat. You don`t need to buy gold packages or anything and you pay with your card automatically. Some users have left Streamate bad reviews because apparently they did not realize being charged while tipping a model. It is not a fraud this is just how Streamate works. Members can choose to have pre-paid balance on their profile but it is not necessary.
Streamate model share is 30% for studio models and 35% for solo models. Therefore, a cost of one gold for a model would be $0.3-0.35. That is not the highest percentage although you can make private and exclusive rates more expensive if you wish to raise your income. In your account balance you will find current earnings in dollars and you don`t have to convert anything.
How Much Do Chaturbate Tokens Cost?
Chaturbate offers token packages for users. The bigger the package the bigger the discount, encouraging members to opt for more expensive purchases.
The discount starts from 500 token packages.
| Tokens | Dollars | Value (dollar per token) |
| 100 | 10.99 | 0.109 |
| 200 | 20.99 | 0.104 |
| 500 | 44.99 | 0.89 |
| 750 | 62.99 | 0.84 |
| 1000 | 79.99 | 0.8 |
| 1255 | 99.99 | 0.796 |
| 2025 | 159.99 | 0.79 |
Models get 50% of token value no matter how much a member actually spent to buy that token package. The Chaturbate token cost for a model is $0.05. To determine your exact income in dollars, just divide your token balance by 20.
In some cases, you could say that Chaturbate gives models even more than 50% of member`s spendings. For example, 1000 tokens is $50 for a model so we would assume it is $100 for a member, although a user pays only $80 to get a 1000 token package.
Members and models can get free Chaturbate token by referring new users and broadcasters. For every new registered user (if they signed up using your referral link) Chaturbate gives 10 tokens. For every broadcaster you get 500 tokens after they`ve earned at least 400 tokens ($20).
If you stream on Chaturbate you may have noticed that some users can send you PMs first. Those are the members of Chaturbate VIP Membership. This program costs $19.95 a month and allows enjoying the site ad-free, sending free PMs to streamers and other viewers and getting a bonus of 200 free tokens. Filling out the Spending Limit Increase Form will let a user to buy bigger token packages as well as wins him another free 200 tokens.
How Much Do Livejasmin Credits Cost?
Yiou might think that one credit costs the same as one dollar but this is not the case for LiveJasmin. This site can turn out to be quite pricey.

As usual, members can buy credit packages in bulk and on LiveJasmin the most expensive package is actually the best deal with the lowest credit value.
While LiveJasmin might seem expensive, there are some options for those on a limited budget:
- Some models have private rates as low as 0.98 credits per minute (that a special promo price designed for newbies)
- There are many VIP shows running at once, the cost to enter is pretty low. If members don`t mind sharing the view with other customers they can join

LiveJasmin Income Levels for models
As for models, things are a little bit trickier. LiveJasmin offers a progressive model share that can go up to 80% of member`s spending, starting from 30%.
Models can upgrade their income level by earning a certain amount of money in two separate categories – Online and Offline. Online category includes private chats, VIP show, mobile streaming, interactive toy control tips and all the credits you receive while live. Offline category includes content sell, messenger, fan club subscriptions, offline tips and gifts.
Income levels for these two categories are determined separately. For example, if you earn $300 from private chats, you are now eligible for Level 2 and get a 35% model share. However, if you don`t reach at least $250 from Offline income, your model share in that area will stay the same.
Look at the chart to have a better understanding of what LiveJasmin income level system is about.
| Level | Earnings | Model share | Value (dollar per credit) |
| 1 | $250 | 30% | 0.3 |
| 2 | $250-500 | 35% | 0.35 |
| 3 | $500-1000 | 40% | 0.4 |
| 4 | $1000-2000 | 45% | 0.45 |
| 5 | $2000-4000 | 50% | 0.5 |
| 6 | $4000-8000 | 60% | 0.6 |
| 7 | $8000-15000 | 65% | 0.65 |
| 8 | $15000-30000 | 70% | 0.7 |
| 9 | +$30000 | 80% | 0.8 |
- As you can see, the higher levels are much more difficult to achieve however, it is not a problem for top models. For a newbie, it is quite possible to reach levels 3-4 within two weeks.
- The lowest starting point is 30% however if a model did not manage to get a good audio and video rating from site moderators she will get a 5% deduction for audio and video, meaning her starting point would be 20%.
- There is also Level Independent Income that is not a subject of deduction or percentage scale, such as Awards Prizes, Model and Member Referral. We will explore this topic more in some of our next articles.
