When we switched from Twilio to Daily, we saw the percentage of complaints about video quality and stability go down by at least 50%. With Twilio, our code for screen-sharing was ~50 lines of code. With Daily, it was exactly 6. I'm not usually a fan of "magic" black-box implementations, but when it comes to WebRTC, Daily provides rock-solid non-leaky abstractions that enable you to focus on features rather than APIs.
But perhaps more importantly, they genuinely and almost obsessively care about the success of their users. When I had a call a few months ago with Twilio to increase their API rate-limits, we were given excuses and vague references to roadmaps. When I had a call with Daily last week, I honestly felt like we were their only client, where they not only solved our current problem, but also helped us to understand future problems and potential solutions.
When my CTO told me we were switching from Twilio to Daily, I kind of groaned inside myself, thinking that Daily was just another new startup trying to reinvent the wheel. But I was wrong. Daily didn't re-invent the wheel. They replaced the wheel with a combustion engine.
Obviously, take my gushing recommendation with a grain of salt. My experience is just one of many. But if you're like me, and hesitant to take a risk with a new company and new technology, I'd say the risk is much lower than you might think. And the reward, too, is that much higher.

@natewildermuth Thank you so much for the kind words. I can't tell you how much it means to read them. We really do love what we do, and even more than that love working with developers like you and your team who are building amazing new things.
@natewildermuth That's amazing to hear; thank you for the thoughtful note. It's pretty great we get to support teams like yours, building the tools we'll all use!
Congrats! The Daily team has been super helpful and friendly from the beginning. You'll not regret having them as partners for your next audio/video project 🤙
@arpanramtek Thanks Arpan! Our free tier will get you running in no time, no card required.
We use Daily to power our video chats and, like others have said, it's been a pleasure to use. The APIs are intuitive, and the technical support is amazingly responsive and kind. I'm so glad we switched to using Daily—I felt like I was playing whack-a-mole with our initial simplepeer implementation and was losing sleep worrying about weird edge cases. Thank you for your hard work, Daily team, and congrats on your Series A! 🥳
@crocophant Thank you Jessica! We love working with developers like you and your team and getting a glimpse at the great products you build with our API! 🙌
@crocophant What Vincent said :) Thank you for mentioning our support - will pass that on to all our team :) :)
So cool! We were early customers of Daily's desktop/web video solution for Tandem, and it's pretty awesome that they've taken the same super developer friendly approach on mobile audio. Watch out Clubhouse... :)
👋🏽 Hi everyone! We're glad to be back. We first launched our Daily API here on Product Hunt :) Thanks to everyone in the community who gave us feedback, and built apps with our Daily API, which provides video and audio APIs for developers.
We're back with a new release — Audio Apps Starter Kit, to build audio chat in a weekend. We're also excited to share our Startup Program, for $1,100 in credits for PH teams in the program.
At Daily, our mission is to make it easy to build with video and audio, with our WebRTC APIs. To help rapidly build audio apps, our engineers created our Audio Apps Starter Kit:
🎙 Build audio apps rapidly
🤳 Sample code and demo apps for iOS, Android, React, and ReactNative
🛠 Create rooms, kick people out, time limits, spatial audio, and more
🚀 Scale on secure, global infrastructure
Up to 1,000 user can be in a room. We handle the infrastructure, and take care of the audio tech piece, so you can scale fast, and focus on your core product experience, which sets you apart. (You can learn more about our security at our website security center.)
Thanks to our customers' support, we recently announced $15M in Series A. This financing helps us expand our resources for developers and makers. We're rolling out a new Startup Program, to give pricing credits:
✅ $1,100 in credits for PH community this month
✅ For teams pre-Series A
✅ Check out requirements and join, https://daily.co/producthunt-sta...
We'd love to hear more about what you're thinking about building with audio! Let us know your feedback — our team is glad to chat.
Daily is awesome, the React Native SDK is great to work with and the Daily team is super helpful!
Very neat! We have been using Daily for 7 months and it is a great service. I like this audio-only approach with a starter, tutorial, and examples. Good job!
@carloslfu Thanks Carlos! We had a lot of fun building the starter kit and everything surrounding it! 🤓
This is awesome. We're big fans of Daily through Teamflow, Tandem etc. Nice work ?makers
Daily's video calls quality and reliability is top notch and I'm sure the audio-only API delivers as well. As a developer I really like the sample source codes in their GitHub repo and well written integrations guides.
Congrats! We love Daily and the team behind it. We moved to this solution in our product because the old WebRTC solution was behind the times and unable to respond to modern needs. Daily and the team have crafted a great solution and we recommend them often.
@tomas_gutierrez Thank you so much Tomás! So glad you and your team are happy with our product!
Hey everyone, I'm one of the developers who worked on this audio-only starter kit (I worked on the React and React Native demos. 🙌 ) I'm more than happy to chat about using these demos and how to expand them even more. Let me know if you have any questions.
Happy coding! ✨
@bogdan_ionita Thank you! It was very fun to put together, and we're eager to see what people are interested in building! Cheers.
