You should credit me that I mentioned the fact someone in GFY did not like them
Someone posted their link too in a list without specify anything, so I been more informative. A con artist well, some their customers are up and ok, if a complete con artist no any customer would be left; sure he tries to sell you more than what you need, that's a sales man, need to click the "no, thanks" to all the extra offers he push.
Their custom work it is more expensive than anything one may hear of in adult webmaster world, but they clearly state it in the site, so that whoever decide to go with them can't be surprised of prices later:
http://www.eyepartner.com/custom-development/
1-2 hours ? Rate of $200 with no minimum order required.
3-20 hours ? Development Block Rate of $150/hour ($450 minimum for this rate to apply)
21-100 hours ? Development Block Rate of $135/hour ($2835 minimum for this rate to apply)
101-400 hours ? Development Block Rate of $115/hour ($11615 minimum for this rate to apply)
So let you want edit something requiring nearly 100 hours (not big deal for a cam site) that's $12,000 to pay in advance, before they even start to work. They're based on hour block prepay that you spend in their ticket system.
And they sort mandate your stuff be hosted with them and again it is 2 to 3 times the price of a mojohost or webair's:

Virtual is $499/month, a dedicated $600+?
But again this is written in their page in advance, woud be not a surprise you need 2 or 3 servers and this is $1500 a month hosting bill (+ bandwidth extra). That's managed it means they normally solve issues if any.
Ok there is something more, in general they don't give you the source code (they encrypt the php), so that you are locked and you have to buy hours from them for anything except a few templates, even you woud be able to edit yourself for cheap. I don't know if this changed for latest versions of their stuff but old one but that's liek this for their old stuff still online today.
Now except the specific case of this company, in general those pre-made softwares and companies are useful for who can not or does not wish to edit anything himself, such as an investor with no developers (or skill/time to direct them) who is in hurry to setup something and market it.
If the guy got time, skils, developers, he may go custom which finally it is always the best but may take 1+ years to launch then debug and updates in following years, as never a new cam script will work as intended, or will be released in time
