Agora vs. Stream Chat

Agora's Video Calling API enables developers to seamlessly integrate high-definition, real-time video communication into web, mobile, and native applications. Designed for ultra-low latency and cross-platform compatibility, it ensures smooth video experiences even under challenging network conditions. This solution is ideal for various applications, including telehealth, education, team collaboration, and any scenario requiring face-to-face interaction.

Stream Chat is a messaging API and SDK suite for developers building in-app chat. Teams integrate it to ship production messaging in weeks instead of building and maintaining real-time infrastructure in-house. Client SDKs cover React, Swift, Android, Flutter, React Native, Angular, JavaScript, Unity, and Unreal, each with a UI kit you can customize or replace entirely. The backend runs on Go and RocksDB across 12 global edge locations, holding sub-40ms latency and 5M concurrent connections in a single channel behind a 99.999% uptime SLA.
