PurplePort Compared

A PurplePort Alternative
For UK Adult And Glamour Work

PurplePort is where a lot of UK glamour models first meet photographers. If the work you now want is paid adult filming or content, and the free account keeps stopping you at the paid castings, here is how Climaxx Media compares. Women join free, and most castings on our board pay £300 a scene.

The PurplePort details below come from PurplePort's own about page, terms and help articles as published on 13 October 2026. If they change, tell us through the contact page and we will update this.

What is PurplePort?

PurplePort describes itself as a free online portfolio-hosting and networking platform for models, photographers, studios and other creatives to book shoots and share their work. It is run by PurplePort Limited (UK company 7735669), with a copyright line dating from 2010. Adult and NSFW images are hidden unless a visitor switches them on.

It has a long track record with UK photographers, a reference system, groups, competitions and studio-day events. Adult work happens there, but it is one corner of a site built for freelance modelling of every kind, from portrait to fashion to fine art.

What can you do on a free PurplePort account?

Less than on VIP. As of October 2026, PurplePort's own help page says free accounts can send no more than 4 new messages a day, show up to 15 portfolio images, post one casting call every 7 days, and cannot create or apply to casting calls for paid work. New members start on a free VIP trial.

How much is PurplePort VIP?

PurplePort sells VIP for 1 month or 12 months at a time, paid through PayPal, either as a one-off payment or set to renew automatically. Its help pages point to the logged-in subscription page for the price rather than publishing it. VIP removes the free-account limits, including the block on paid casting calls.

So on both sites the paid castings sit behind a paid plan. The difference is what is on the other side of it. Ours is a board of adult castings where the rate is written on the casting and agreed in writing before you say yes, with the busiest filming in Bournemouth, London, Leeds, Southampton. Some producers pay up to £1,000 a scene.

How is Climaxx Media different from PurplePort?

PurplePort covers every style of modelling and photography. Climaxx Media is a UK agency and casting platform for adult work only: glamour, nude, adult film and creator collabs. Every performer has photo ID checked, most castings pay women £300 a scene and men £150 a scene, and we take no commission.

One thing we would rather say up front: our free tier is tighter than PurplePort's. Four replies a month is enough to answer a producer who has found you, not to go looking. That is why women get three months of Elite once approved, and why men start on Pro at £7.99. There is no commission on anything you earn. See the performer pricing page for the full list.

PurplePort alternative: common questions

Is the free Climaxx Media account better than free PurplePort?

Not on messages. Our free Starter profile can reply to 4 messages a month and cannot apply to castings; producers can still find and book you. Women get three months of Elite free once approved, which removes those limits. After that, Pro is £7.99 a month.

Can I use PurplePort and Climaxx Media at the same time?

Yes. They do different jobs. Some glamour models keep a PurplePort portfolio for photographer shoots and use Climaxx Media for paid adult filming and content work. Neither site asks you to be exclusive.

Does Climaxx Media do fashion or portrait modelling?

No. We only cover adult work: glamour, topless, nude and art nude modelling, adult film and creator collabs. For fashion, portrait or commercial shoots PurplePort or a licensed mainstream agency is the better place.

Do I need nude photos to apply?

No. You can apply with clothed or lingerie photos, and you choose the levels of work you will do. Producers see your stage name, never your legal name or ID document, and this website carries no explicit images.

Adult castings with the rate on the casting

Free for women, three months of Elite once approved, and no nude photos needed to apply.
