Streamate’s administrators have created a niche site for third-gender fans and use the same streaming and video chat technologies.

Therefore, the resemblance between the two sites is quite obvious in terms of design and navigation.

Tsmate’s purpose is to showcase all the trannies in one place and to provide a customised menu and selection criteria.

Although Gold Shows are offered, like on streamate, you will rarely find a model who has activated this mode. Tsmate has far fewer members than streamate so it must be very difficult for a model to reach their financial target.

The average rate of a private, non-exclusive show is $1.99, which is completely reasonable for the tranny niche in a limited market. At any rate, rarely will you be joined by another member in private mode, and this means almost exclusivity for the customer. The average exclusive mode rate is around $2.99; it’s a little more expensive but the guarantee of complete exclusivity is worth it.

The cams are displayed in traditional linear thumbnails fashion. They include useful information like the model’s country of origin and their age. Colour bands are located underneath each image to indicate the current show mode. Green means Online or Party Chat, and yellow indicates a Gold Show.

The vertical menu on the left side is very useful. It enables you to sort webcams according to a particular feature. For example, you can choose to display only shemales with big cocks, ladyboys, or even models with large breasts. If you have a racial preference, a selection of different ethnicities is also provided, including Asian, Black, Latina, etc.

The horizontal menu at the top is also worthy of interest, and the telephone function more particularly as it can be used to find trannies with whom you can talk on the phone while watching them on your screen.

The advanced search provides additional search criteria like physical appearance, a particular fetish such as bondage, anal, dominant, etc. You can check off many criteria at the same time to create a very specific search. For example, you can search for a shaved transsexual with big breasts and blond hair who practices BDSM.

Tsmate is a very active transgender webcam community. There were about 80 transsexual hostesses logged in at the time of this review. They are all very young, and very few are older than 25.

Some she-males were really beautiful. Their facial features are refined, they have beautiful female bodies, great breasts and curvy butts. They look like real models and many men will likely succumb to their beauty.

But not all models were this attractive…some lacked a bit of this femininity.

Most of the models (about 60%) were from Colombia. The Philippines was a far second with about 20% of the total. Suffice it to say that Latin South Americans and Southeast Asians are the most represented, and unfortunately, there were very few trans from the US or Europe. When doing the review, only 2 Russians, 2 Americans and 2 Romanians were online.

Tsmate uses the same video streaming technology as streamate. This platform’s webcam image quality and reliability is unwavering. Fluidity is excellent, as is the image definition, which definitely merits the HD indication.

There is a settings button like on YouTube to change the video image resolution. You can choose from 144p (the lowest resolution) to 1080p (the highest resolution). The most common resolutions are 360p and 420p.

The resolutions offered depend primarily on the model’s internet connection speed and their webcam’s maximum resolution.

Different text options are available on the video chat. Use the uppercase A icon to choose a font, and the pencil icon brings up a colour palette to spice up your writing. There are a few smileys to help you communicate your emotions with pictures. For more privacy on the public chat, use the eye icon underneath the chat window to hide your chat from other visitors.

Show your appreciation for a transsexual by giving them a tip on the public chat. Even $1 is appreciated which will make them treat you very warmly. You can also make an agreement with them to give a tip in exchange for a specific action like showing their breasts, butt or cock.

Once you have met each other, click on “watch my show live” for more intimacy in private. This way, your favourite tranny can fulfil all your sexual desires.

Two kinds of private shows are offered:
- Exclusive mode gives you complete exclusivity with the model during your webcam session, or premium, which is non-exclusive meaning other members can join and watch the show as well, even if in practice it doesn’t happen very often. The price difference between the two is around 20% to 50% depending on the model, so it’s up to you to decide if the extra cost for complete exclusivity is worth it or not.

The gold show is somewhat unique and operates a bit differently.
The model sets a financial goal to achieve in a specific timeframe (for example $50 in 10 minutes). Members are invited to make a minimum donation to participate in the show and to help them reach their goal. If the goal is reached, the gold show automatically begins for all donors. If they don’t reach their goal the performance is cancelled and nobody has to pay.

In your member account you can adjust your daily spending limit. Once your daily limit has been reached, the pay chat will close and you will not be allowed to access any fee-based services until the following day.

From your inbox, you can send messages to your favourite hostesses with the ability to add an attachment, like a photo, for example.

The site will also message you to let you know about important events.

You can view your purchase history over the last three months at any time in the “recent purchases” section. Complete details about payments and credit spending are displayed.

The average rate for a premium private show is around $1.99 and it costs about $2.99 for 100% exclusive private. Since each model sets the rate for their shows, there are fairly large price disparities. Some trannies advertise rates of $3.99 or more per minute for exclusive, which is indeed prohibitive, but it is sometimes justified by exceptional beauty, unique sexual services, or an extraordinary personality.

The Gold Show is the most economic kind of performance, as you can watch a group show for 5 to 15 minutes for just a few dollars. Unfortunately, Gold Shows are rare on Tsmate, as the she-males clearly prefer one-to-one.

Lastly, there are two payment methods available to buy credits. You can use a credit card or anonymous payment cards like paysafecard or Neosurf.
