Pornhub Premium vs xHamster Premium

Trying to decide between Pornhub Premium and xHamster Premium? Both are popular, but they work differently — and there's a third option most people overlook that sidesteps the biggest downside of either. Here's the honest comparison.

How Pornhub Premium works

Pornhub Premium is the paid tier of a tube site — it removes ads and unlocks higher-quality and exclusive uploads on top of the free catalogue.

A recurring monthly or annual subscription that renews automatically to keep the ad-free, premium-unlocked experience.

How xHamster Premium works

xHamster Premium is the paid tier of a tube site, removing ads and unlocking exclusive and higher-quality uploads on top of the free catalogue.

A recurring monthly or annual subscription that renews automatically to keep the ad-free, premium-unlocked experience.

Pornhub Premium vs xHamster Premium: the real difference

The day-to-day experience differs, but the thing they have in common matters more: both keep charging you, and with both you own nothing once you stop. The content is largely the same recycled catalogue, you are still inside a tube-site experience, and cancelling drops you back to the ad-filled free tier. The same trap applies to xHamster Premium. So the honest comparison isn't really Pornhub Premium vs xHamster Premium — it's recurring vs owned.

The option that beats both: pay once

A one-time-payment library charges a single price for lifetime access — no monthly bill, no renewal, nothing to cancel, and downloads you keep. Selected Content runs on exactly that model: one payment, lifetime access, unlimited downloads, new content every week, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Whichever of Pornhub Premium or xHamster Premium you were leaning toward, paying once and owning it is the better deal over any real timeframe.
