Overview

100ms provides a video-first infrastructure that lets developers embed and customize live video and audio in their apps using SDKs for one-to-one and group calls, live streaming, and reusable templates.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • June 2026 releases for Web, Android, React Native, Server, and Flutter show active shipping.
  • 100ms still markets 10K attendees and YouTube streaming, fitting events and education demand.
  • The 2026 alternatives market confirms real buyer interest in embedded video infrastructure.

What critics are saying

  • No public funding surfaced after March 2022, limiting 100ms against Agora and ZEGOCLOUD.
  • Twilio, Daily, and Vonage sell adjacent APIs, compressing 100ms pricing power by 2026.
  • If SDK commoditization continues, developers switch to cheaper stacks and 100ms becomes replaceable.

What makes 100ms unique

  • 100ms bundles customizable SDKs, templates, and low-code integration in hours, per June 2026 docs.
  • Founders built video systems at Disney+ Hotstar and Facebook, aligning with massive-scale reliability.
  • The platform targets 10K-attendee events with 99.99% uptime and 24x7 expert support.
