COMPARISON

Agora vs Jitsi

How do Agora and Jitsi compare? And what does Dyte Video SDK offer?

Overview

Agora and Jitsi are the two most popular video SDKs. Agora is preferred for its reliable product support and higher-quality video, while Jitsi offers an open-source solution with a ton of UI customization. 

Both need you to have an enterprise-class development team, offer inferior support, and are hard to integrate.

Dyte changes that. Dyte is a modern live video SDK that enables developers to add live video, audio calls, streaming, and collaborative features to their applications with ease.

We thoroughly evaluate the advantages and disadvantages by pitting Agora vs Jitsi. Let's begin..

LIVE VIDEO SERVICES

So what are these?

What is Agora?

Agora Live Video SDK simplifies adding live video calls and streams to applications.With its low-level features, the SDK enables enterprise development teams to craft unique solutions and control every aspect of their live experience.

What is Jitsi?

Jitsi is a free, open-source platform that makes video conferencing easy. It requires no downloads or plugins and is a great choice for those looking to get their hands dirty with live video but don’t want to invest too much.
