ImLive Shemale Platform Review: Best Tranny Webcam Models

ImLive sells itself well as its name suggests, as chat hosts can be found modelling LIVE 24/7.

With enticing and attractive features and a range of inventive live shows, the ImLive shemale sex chat hosts are known for dazzling on cam, and continue growing in notoriety.

In this ImLive Shemale review I assess the site at large and focus on key core components namely, the type of memberships and costs involved, benefits and offered discounts, as well as the workings of the ImLive Customer Loyalty Program.

First Impressions

ImLive is no new player and remains to be competitive in the arena of online porn and remains a popular webcam platform[s] for transsexuals.

One of the reasons might just be their constant drive to introduce new and exciting features, which helps to keep this site fresh and dynamic.

The welcome page is neatly presented with attractive cam models on display, with the site main navigation bar located top of the page.

A quick inspection reveals that this sexy adult website features more than just Live Cams. ImLive members also have the option of recorded porn, with a range of home-made explicit shemale movies found under the tag Host Videos.

As ImLive is home to models of all sexes and creed, you'll need to navigate just a little, for access to the sexy tranny cam rooms.

Start by using the drop down menus top right of the main navigation bar. Choose between either Trans Alone or Trans (Couple).

There is also a set of unique filters available, to help specifically tailor your ladyboy search:

Special Hosts
Show Type
Gender
Price
Fetish
Features
Body
Penis
Ethnicity
Bust
Ass Size

And speaking of Fetish, use the filter on the left for all the fetish categories, an impressive array located on both sides of the kinky spectrum, from the more "vanilla" fetishes to the more extreme fetishes. This rivals great fetish-oriented sites such MyDirtyHobby, Stripchat, Flirt4Free and others geared towards kink lovers.

As attractive as the homepage is, I personally love always having control and setting up the main gallery for viewing the way I want to browse hot tranny cam babes.

ImLive obviously has me in mind, with a convenient adjustment button located top right of the menu bar. Choose your browsing preference from the following:

Gallery View
Tiles View
List View

Browsing the main gallery in Tiles View, users get to see more thumbnails on the page with less info displayed.

List View gives users the cleanest display, including the model's profile pic, a quick link to her full profile and an indication whether she's available for chat, or already involved in a private shemale sex show.

All browsing options include video chat room previews. Mouse over any T-girl (available for Free Video Chat), and her live feed begins to play revealing how the model looks, as well as the ambiance of her own private cam chambers.

As ImLive follows the premium business model, don't expect to find the models performing nude in their open chat rooms.

In a premium adult website, nudity is never permitted in open chat. The public rooms serve as a space for members and models to meet and greet, where members get to flirt with models and vice versa.

These premium features on ImLive rival what's considered the best premium trans-only site - MyTrannyCams. We highly recommend paying it a visit for a shemale-only experience, for a slightly higher price tag than ImLive.

Once you've found a model which suites your purposes, proceed in private where the chat host will eventually reveal her sexy bits.

Enter a model's private chambers and her video chat window opens up large, and aligned left of your computer monitor. You can easily select the widening icon on the bottom left to make the chat box inhabit your entire screen.

Overall the camera quality on ImLive is sufficient to keep me happy, with the majority of hot tranny cam rooms featuring really strong images.

One thing I'm not a huge fan of, is the lack of cam labeling of the chat rooms. Some live chat sites label the camera quality of the model's chat room, indicating whether the video feed is HD, SD or sometimes even HQ. I do love excellence, and prefer spending my time in rooms which offer the best camera quality.

The sound in the model's chat room can also be adjusted using the volume toggle button.

The texting window itself is a fair size and unobtrusive. There are the usual added keyboard features which become unlocked once you've joined as a member. Until such time, you're essentially just a site visitor with room viewing rights.

Site Experience

As a Basic Member

Having taken the time to register, you are now one of ImLive's newbies. New members who have not yet purchased a Credit package have site access to the following:

Chat live and privately with shemale sex chat hosts
Express yourself with ready made texts and special Emojis
Receive email and bonus notifications
Create and manage your favorite Hosts list

Non paying members or Basic Members have unlimited time in the Free Chat rooms, and can sometimes even be treated to an ongoing performance.

However, free users have no say and are unable to direct the model, as they have no Credits to tip with.

Basic members are also unable to experience exclusive performances, as the private shemale sex shows are reserved for paying members only.

As a Paying Member

Paying members on ImLive command the model's attention the most, and rightly so.

Members with Credit in their accounts have unleashed their inner Playboys and are dead serious about their webcam sex.

These members are usually responsible for and have access to:

Getting things started in the open shows
Keeping the action rolling during the performances
Exclusive paid for private sex shows (includes cam2cam & 2-way audio)

During a private performance with a sexy shemale model, you have the choice to switch your own webcam on and have the model see you as you see her.

Some tranny chat hosts are even set up for 2-way audio, allowing you to talk direct with the models, and freeing up your hands!

Sex Show Costs

Pricing for live tranny sex chat differs from model to model as the site's policy allows for webcam hosts to charge as they see fit.

Usually, performing shemales with seniority charge higher rates, as well as those models who have proven to be more popular with the crowds.

Expect to pay between $1.98 to $3.80 per minute for an average transgender chat host in private.

New tranny models begin at $1.98 a minute.

Model Selection

In compiling this ImLive shemale review, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that despite not being a dedicated shemale sex chat site, ImLive still features a healthy number of tranny webcam sex chat hosts, no matter the time of day.

Expect to find in the region of 30-35 hot tranny cam babes at most times, with the numbers increasing to almost double during the very busy hours.

Look, you're never going to find the sheer number of trannies like you would on a site such as MyTrannyCams, however the shemale models homed on ImLive are both eager and highly entertaining.

Finishing Thoughts

ImLive has been gracing our screens for years, with many satisfied members happy to vouch for its live webcams and home-made fuck film services.

As for ImLive's tranny webcam sex models, I found them to be glamorous and Ab Fab.

Here's the thing,

For a site which isn't strictly shemale (or live shemale cams for that matter), members are really presented with a variety of options to get their cocks hard and rocks off.

Below, I've detailed a list of the more popular features I found on ImLive:

A fair to good selection of shemale sex chat hosts
Take control and view the gallery how you want to. Select from: tiles, list or gallery view
Watch free video teasers, for members holding Credits only
Treats, bonus Credits which can be given during special events, or at ImLive's discretion
Candy Shows, value for money, time-limited shows performed for a restricted crowd
Top Host Arena, ImLive shemale babes compete for members votes by being exceptional
Personal Cards, complete your own profile and have shemales learn about your own kinks
ImLive Diamonds, hot tranny cam girls with year's of experience, awarded Legacy title
Fulfill your Fantasy, post your kinky desires and have wanting ladyboys find you
Virtual Gifts, show gratitude for your favorite shemales, shower them with virtual gifts
Discount Clubs, join shemale's Discount Clubs for reductions on private sex chat
Special Sessions, 30 min sessions qualify for a 20% discount & 60 min sessions get 30% off

Generally speaking the camera quality was good, at times even great considering that the rooms all feature a SD trans streaming platform.

During private chat, members are able to take snapshots or even record their live performance for their own personal collection and later viewing. During the private trans show, use the Snapshot or Record Session buttons in the video player

There were however, a few rooms which I happened on where the video chat quality was poor, featuring grainy and fuzzy images.

I took a shining to the Candy Shows and concentrated much of my cock-play over here!

After all, a show which runs for approx 10 mins, and works out dirt cheap is a win win in my play books

Candy Shows range in price and are time limited productions, usually for a closed crowd. The model relies on members paying toward her goal to get the show going. Rates will differ and range from 0.10 to 0.60 Credits a minute.

ImLive's trans cams area, offering around 50 shemale models is impressive, some of the best tranny cams are at ImLive.

In conclusion, this amazing site gets a score of 4.80 out of a maximum of 5, only losing points due to the problematic HD situation on this otherwise stellar site. It includes anything and everything you might need for the best live trans sex cam experience - Pro trans models, a great mobile platform with cam to cam, a free trial for newbies, easy filtering and sorting, plenty of fetish categories and even 24/7 live customer service.
