100ms vs LiveKit

How do 100ms and LiveKit compare? And what does Video SDK offer?

100ms

100ms is a cloud platform that empowers developers to integrate video and audio conferencing into Web, Android, and iOS applications. The platform offers REST APIs, SDKs, and a user-friendly dashboard, making it easy to capture, distribute, record, and display live interactive audio and video content.

LiveKit

Livekit is a collection of SDKs that enables the integration of live video and audio into your native applications. It offers various notable features, including live streaming, in-game communication, video calls, and more. Livekit utilizes a modern, end-to-end WebRTC stack to deliver seamless and high-quality real-time communication experiences.

How Video SDK make a difference

If you're looking for a dependable live video conference SDK, you might have come across Livekit and 100ms. Both platforms offer SDKs for integrating live video calling and related features into your application.

While Livekit and 100ms provide reasonably reliable audio and video conferencing performance, achieving this often requires writing lengthy blocks of code. Additionally, you may not find all the necessary features conveniently available in a single SDK.

Now, introducing Video SDK, a user-friendly and efficient SDK that empowers you with a wide range of features, including chat, polls, breakout rooms, streaming capability, and RTMP out – all conveniently available within a single SDK.

In this comparison, we will explore the strengths and weaknesses of LiveKit and 100ms, helping you make an informed decision for your video communication needs.
