How TrendScore Works
How TrendScore is calculated.
TrendScore is our public score for cam models, built from popularity, consistency, momentum and freshness, never from clicks or commissions.
TrendScore
TrendScore (0–100) is computed only from partner programs' feed data and our own 10-minute presence log. It never uses clicks, commissions or other commercial signals. Components a platform can’t supply are removed and the remaining weights are re-normalized, so scores are comparable within a platform.
The number shown next to each model (0–99) is a display scale derived from that model's TrendScore percentile among currently live models. Percentile breakpoints refresh about every 15 minutes so the figures stay stable between page loads. The underlying raw TrendScore still determines ranking order; only the published figure uses this display mapping.
Version 1.0
Default for all other platformsTrendScore blends popularity, consistency, momentum, freshness and platform rating, measured from our own presence snapshots. No commercial weighting.
| Popularity 40% | Average viewers relative to the platform baseline (only where the platform reports viewers). |
|---|---|
| Consistency 25% | Hours online over the last 28 days, capped. |
| Momentum 15% | Recent viewers versus the model's own 28-day baseline. |
| Freshness 10% | Recency of the last live session plus a short new-model boost. |
| Platform rating 10% | Position in the platform's own rating order, where the platform publishes one. |
Version v1-provisionalProvisional
Used for: Streamate and XloveCamProvisional TrendScore for platforms without viewer counts or a documented rating order (Streamate): consistency 50%, momentum 30%, freshness 20%, all from our own 10-minute presence log.
| Consistency 50% | Hours online in the last 28 days, from our own presence log, capped at 120 h. |
|---|---|
| Momentum 30% | Hours online in the last 7 days versus the 7 days before; neutral until a model has 7 days of history. |
| Freshness 20% | Live now scores 1; decays linearly to 0 over 14 days offline. |
Equal scores are ordered by more hours online in the last 28 days, then more distinct days online in the last 28 days, then listed with us for longer, then a fair order that rotates every day.
Provisional: these weights may change once we have 28 days of history for this platform. Scores computed under it are labelled as such.
Methodology
How Recommended sorting works
- What it is
- The default order of the home page and listing grids. It is not a list: the Trending page uses TrendScore only.
- Inputs (v1)
- TrendScore; the outbound click-through rate from CamTrends cards to partner sites, smoothed so models with little data are not pushed up or down unfairly; and click volume, capped. We also correct for card position and keep a few discovery slots for less-seen models. Live status and your location’s restrictions decide which models appear at all. The first rows may show models from your country. On the home page and the live page, those local models fill the first rows from the same Recommended order; clicks on them never change the order for anyone else.
- What it does not use
- Payments from models or platforms for placement, and commission amounts or rates.
- Why we disclose it
- We earn commissions when visitors join or buy on partner sites, so clicks are a commercial signal. TrendScore never uses them.
- Freshness
- Scores are recalculated daily from each model’s activity over the previous 24 hours, so a model that happens to be offline when we recalculate is not moved down. Grids refresh every few minutes as models go online or offline.
- How to change it
- The Sort menu offers TrendScore, Most viewers and other sorts. For a pure TrendScore order, see the Trending.
Changelog
- : Recommended v3 (provisional). Third version: the same TrendScore-led blend and per-platform click-through smoothing, with the platform mix applied to every run of consecutive cards, not just each page, so long grids stay mixed all the way down. Discovery slots unchanged. Provisional.
- : Recommended v2 (provisional). Second version: the same TrendScore-led blend, with click-through smoothed per platform so a platform with little traffic cannot jump ahead on a few clicks, and a platform mix on every page so no single platform fills the grid. Discovery slots unchanged. Provisional.
- : Recommended v1 (provisional). First version: TrendScore plus smoothed, position-corrected click-through to partner sites and capped click volume, with a few discovery slots. Provisional.
