Twilio vs 100ms

How do Twilio and 100ms compare? And what does VideoSDK offer?
Twilio

Twilio

originally started by helping developers automate traditional phone calls and SMS text messages. But today, developers can use it to build business communication ( in-app and otherwise) across the customer journey.
100ms

100ms

is a platform that provides infrastructure and client-side SDKs for developers to build real-time, interactive audio-video experiences in their apps. It combines the capabilities of video conferencing (built over WebRTC), live streaming (built over HLS), and real-time databases.
How VideoSDK make a difference
Twilio and 100ms are leading competitors in the live video domain. Both platforms offer distinct packages, features, and advantages. However, they are considered legacy video SDK providers with their user experiences remaining unchanged for over half a decade, and their integration into your app can take several months.
VideoSDK revolutionizes this situation. It offers a single SDK that seamlessly handles video/voice calls, live streams, and collaborative features right out of the box. Moreover, integrating Video SDK into your app is a breeze, taking only a few minutes.
This page compares 100ms and Twilio, detailing their respective pros and cons, while highlighting why VideoSDK deserves your consideration.

Ankur Chandra-Engineering Manager at Fynd

β€œI still remember when I was trying out the product and connected over discord with Arjun Kava, and he immediately responded. It is one of the things that we found less often. The team is super enthusiastic to make the product as next big thing. Easy integration is the beauty of it. Few lines of code and it's done.”
