Twilio Video is sunsetting. So, finding a reliable alternative is a P0, but Tokbox is not the perfect fit. Compare Twilio Video and TokBox (aka. Vonage Video), and learn how Dyte beats both.
Without a doubt, Vonage (aka. Tokbox), is one of the earliest WebRTC vendors, and that is reflected in the complex configuration, absence of new-age functions like AI/ML middleware and self-troubleshooter, etc.
Dyte is more than just their replacement. Over and above all the features of Twilio Video and Tokbox, you get interactive plugins, UI Kit, advanced analytics, AI/ML middleware and much more with Dyte’s all-in-one video SDK.
Let’s evaluate Twilio vs. Tokbox by comparing features, pricing, advantages and disadvantages, and assess why Dyte is better than them
Tokbox (Vonage) does not offer customising recording UI, transcripts from recording, timed metadata or recording breakout rooms. All of these are possible with Dyte.
Tokbox does not natively support interactive features eg: Whiteboard, Polls, DocSync, Media player, Chat, etc. Dyte has these in-built and let’s you to build your own plugins.
High-coding effort is required to achieve resilient quality across devices & network conditions due to lack of basic features like auto-reconnect.
Tokbox does not support executing AI/ML algorithms for media processing tasks like noise reduction or adding advanced features. Dyte enables this via a single-line integration.
Check out this feature-to-feature comparison chart, and you will understand why Tokbox (Vonage Video) SDK is NOT the right Twilio Video replacement.
