No winner: this one is a preference, not a fact.
Neither is better. BongaCams's billed by buying tokens up front and ImLive's billed by buying credits up front are two ways of taking the same money: one is committed up front at a rate you can check, the other is spent as you go at a rate you cannot see totalling. This row has no winner.

You can start with less on BongaCams than on ImLive. That is a smaller first commitment and not a lower price: what a dollar buys inside each wallet is a separate question, and one this site can answer only for the platforms that publish a unit value.
What could not be compared
2 fields of the 6 could not be put side by side, because one or both of BongaCams and ImLive has nothing recorded there. They are listed rather than dropped: a comparison showing only the rows it could fill reads as one that looked at everything.
- What kinds of show each one runs
- Nothing is recorded about private, group, spy or cam-to-cam for either of them.
- What a private show costs
- No per-minute rate is on file for ImLive, so there is nothing to put beside BongaCams's.
The verdict
BongaCams, and the rows agree with the score. It rates 8 to 7.2, and it wins 2 of the 4 fields both files hold. That is the strongest kind of answer this page can give: two independent readings of the same two files pointing the same way.
Judged on 4 of the 6 fields this site compares platforms on. 2 are decided by a recorded figure, 1 is identical on both files, and 2 could not be compared at all. The last number is listed above rather than left out.

Neither BongaCams nor ImLive? The matchmaker asks about free chat, how you want to pay and what kind of show you are after, then hands back one name with the reasoning attached.
