Our methodology
Each ranking on AdultCue is built from one adult score, and that score is assembled from three weighted parts rather than a single overall impression. Cost holds the largest share at 40%, so what a platform charges moves its position more than most other things you might weigh yourself. Offer follows at 35%, and that is where free access, trial periods and promotional offers register. Trust takes the remaining 25%, covering billing names, cancellation terms and data handling. Read those three figures side by side and you see why two brands priced alike can still finish far apart.
What sits under each part comes from official brand pages, regulator registers and other cited sources, so a fee or a trial length points back to a named page rather than to an impression. Billing names and cancellation terms appear as the brand states them, and the audience throughout is adults only. Nothing is added that a cited page does not say.
Two tiers sit behind the rankings: full reviews for the brands carrying the most weight, and shorter profiles for the remainder. Within every ranking, partners appear first, and everything after them follows the score. Once that is clear, you can read the list for whichever thing brought you here, whether that is the lowest price, the widest set of free features or the cleanest route to cancelling.
This page explains how AdultCue scores and ranks adult platforms.
What we cover
This site compares dating, AI companions, cam sites, paysites, adult games, fan sites, wellness, sex toys.
What we score
Every adult platform is scored on a scale of 1 to 10 on the criteria below. The overall score is the weighted average of these criteria.
| Criterion | Weight |
|---|---|
| Cost | 40% |
| Offer | 35% |
| Trust | 25% |
How rankings are ordered
Rankings apply the following priorities in order; a later priority only breaks a tie in the earlier ones:
- Adult platforms with a paid offer serving the current view come before those without one.
- Within each of those groups, adult platforms available in your country come first, followed by those marked unavailable.
- Within each availability group, adult platforms marked as lacking a required licence come after the others.
- Where these priorities tie, affiliate network links come before our own referral or direct partner links.
- Among network offers, an offer explicitly listing your country comes before a broad default offer. Within each of those groups, known expected commission per click comes before unknown values, and higher expected commission comes first. Ties are broken by commission terms (lifetime, revenue share, then per sale or lead) and then higher payout. For referral or direct partner offers, only explicitly listing your country breaks the commercial tie; their payout is not used as expected commission per click.
- Only after all the earlier priorities tie do rated adult platforms come before those marked "not rated yet", followed by higher overall score.
When no country is selected, eligible active offers serving at least one country qualify for the paid group, including offers limited to particular countries. We use the highest recorded expected commission per click across an offer's base value and country values. When a country is selected, its value is used where recorded, otherwise the offer's base value applies.
A adult platform with a lower score can therefore appear above one with a higher score because of the earlier priorities. Featured cards and sponsor strips sit outside the ranking. A booked placement is labelled "Sponsored"; when none is booked, the featured card shows a partner picked by the commission it pays us, labelled "Featured".
Countries
Global rankings list every relevant adult platform. When a adult platform does not accept customers from your country, we mark it and point you to an alternative. Country pages list only adult platforms available in that country.
Sources
Facts come from each adult platform's own website and documents, public registers, affiliate network listings and other published sources, including independent reviews. Each fact on a page shows its source link and the date we checked it. When a adult platform publishes no country list, its countries come from its affiliate programme listings, and the page says so. The editorial policy explains how facts are checked.
Keeping it current
Scores change when the facts behind them change. A ranking is published once at least five adult platforms in it are scored, and a adult platform gets a review page once enough of its key facts are confirmed. Spot a mistake? Write to [email protected].
