Video conferencing has good open-source options now — the quality gap closed in 2023.

Platform and SDKs to build on-premises WebRTC video conferences

Why consider the swap

If you currently rely on Twilio and want more control over data, lower long-term costs, or a open-source licensing model, OpenVidu covers most of the same ground.

What you trade off

Most open-source alternatives require more setup than their commercial counterparts and may lag on polish, mobile apps, or ecosystem integrations. Check the project’s documentation for current feature parity with Twilio before committing.
