Continue to About ↓- What it does
- Daily is a developer platform for embedding realtime video, audio, recording, live streaming and transcription into applications, with Daily handling the underlying WebRTC infrastructure.
More detail
- The same company maintains Pipecat, an open-source framework for realtime voice and multimodal AI agents, and sells Pipecat Cloud for deploying those agents.
- It is API- and SDK-based, so teams build their own call experiences rather than using a finished end-user app.
- Best for
- Engineering teams building custom in-app video or audio who want SDKs, REST APIs and infrastructure handled for them.
More detail
- Also fits voice-AI builders who want an open-source agent framework (Pipecat) plus a managed hosting option (Pipecat Cloud).
- Pricing
- Usage-based, not a flat subscription.
More detail
- Daily Video SDK starts with 10,000 free minutes per month
- beyond that, video participant-minutes run $0.0015–$0.004 and audio-only $0.00036–$0.00099, volume-tiered with automatic discounts.
- Audio-only rates apply only when no video track is ever sent; any camer
- Main limitation
- Non-developers or no-code buyers, since the platform requires SDK and API work to build anything.
More detail
- Poor fit for buyers who need a fully public fixed-price subscription, or who require peer-to-peer by default, because pricing is volume-tiered and the default architecture is SFU.

What it helps with
- Building and operating WebRTC infrastructure for realtime video and audio is expensive and specialist work, which Daily
- Teams need calls embedded in their own product with their own UI rather than a third-party meeting app.
- Recording, RTMP/HLS live streaming, transcription and SIP/PSTN telephony usually require stitching together several vend
- Enterprises need compliance evidence such as SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, a HIPAA BAA and end-to-end encryption for realtime call
- Voice-AI teams need an orchestration layer for models, speech and transports, plus somewhere to deploy the resulting age
