Amazon Chime SDK vs Jitsi

How do Amazon Chime SDK and Jitsi compare? And what does Video SDK offer?

AWS Chime

Jitsi

Jitsi is a free and open-source platform that simplifies video conferencing. It offers a user-friendly experience without the need for downloads or plugins, making it an excellent option for those seeking a straightforward live video solution without significant investment.
