How do TokBox [Vonage Video] and Agora compare? And what does Dyte Video SDK offer?
If you're searching for live video platforms, TokBox and Agora are options to explore. But, as legacy video SDK providers, their user experiences have remained unchanged for over five years, and integrating them into your app could take several months.
Dyte changes that. Dyte's SDK offers a rapid, comprehensive integration of video/voice calls, live streams, and collaborative features into your app in 10 minutes.
This page pits TokBox vs Agora and explores why Dyte may be the right choice for you.
TokBox, rebranded as Vonage Video API, is an excellent choice for adding videos and other interactive elements to mobile, web, and desktop apps.
Agora is an option for adding video calling and live streaming to your app. They offer SDKs for video calling, voice, chat, interactive live streaming, and real-time messaging.
Selecting a Video SDK can be tricky. We've designed a feature comparison chart to highlight why Dyte is the best option.
