Synento vs Daily
Daily is a mature WebRTC platform with a polished prebuilt UI and broad browser reach. Synento is a narrower tool: durable streams first, with recording as a property of the architecture rather than a paid add-on.
| Aspect | Synento | Daily |
|---|---|---|
| Transport | WebCodecs over WebSocket, appended to durable streams | WebRTC via a managed SFU |
| Recording | Built in: the live session is the recording | A recording feature, billed separately |
| Replay availability | Immediate, with no encoding step | After the recording is processed |
| Latency | Sub-second, but higher than peer-to-peer WebRTC | Lowest, on an optimised real-time path |
| Prebuilt UI | No: an SDK and components you compose | Yes, a full call UI |
| Browser support | Chrome/Edge 94+, Safari 16.4+, Firefox 133+ | Broad, including older browsers |
Choose Synento when…
- Recording and replay are core to your product, not an occasional export.
- You want one predictable line item instead of separate live and recording rates.
- You want an agent to integrate and verify it without a person in the loop.
Choose Daily when…
- You need to support every browser, including older ones without WebCodecs.
- You want a prebuilt, themeable call UI rather than composing your own.
- Sub-200 ms latency between participants is a hard product requirement.
