But almost all businesses need real-time chat beside them. Although LiveKit handles SFU video and raw packets really well, your platform needs native, persistent chat architecture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MirrorFly delivers that along with low-latency video and native SIP\/VoIP integration, all as a complete messaging engine with full source code access, rather than having to patch a separate backend.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MediaSoup and Jitsi split low-level SFU control vs. quick turn-key rooms: <\/strong>If you have C++\/Node media engineers, you can play around with MediaSoup\u2019s phenomenally low-level performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, it does not have a managed cloud or a native UI. Now, on the other hand, Jitsi provides the best meeting rooms of all. However, it falls short in maintenance when the production load is heavy because of its Java\/XMPP stack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pipecat + Retell AI Offer the best AI Voice Agents:<\/strong> If you are primarily looking for only AI voice agents, PipeCat offers an open-source orchestration layer while Retell provides sub-second latency telephony bots. But neither of them provide full multi-party video conferencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_10_LiveKit_Alternatives_My_2026_Shortlist\"><\/span><strong>Top 10 LiveKit Alternatives: My 2026 Shortlist<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mirrorfly\">1. <strong>MirrorFly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Complete Self-Hosted In-App Chat, Voice &amp; Video CPaaS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5\"><strong>Best For:<\/strong> Teams that want a pre-built video solution along with custom real-time messaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is it?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>MirrorFly is a full-stack real-time communication solution that provides pre-built APIs and SDKs for in-app video calling, voice calling, native in-app chat, SIP\/VoIP and conversational AI agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is available as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirrorfly.com\/self-hosted-chat-solution.php\">self-hosted deployment<\/a> with full source code access, which means you get complete control over your data, infrastructure and security.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why did I pick MirrorFly?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When businesses build an AI video\/ voice calling infrastructure with LiveKit, they eventually miss the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirrorfly.com\/chat\/\">in-app chat<\/a>. When using LiveKit, users often use a separate chat provider.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But businesses that need to build conferencing for their classroom apps, telehealth platforms, gaming or workplace chat apps usually need persistent chat, 1:1 messaging, ability to sync messages offline, file sharing and read receipts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where MirrorFly stands out. It brings all the communication features a platform needs &#8211; chat, video call, voice calls, chatbots, voice agents and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirrorfly.com\/sip-voip-solution.php\">SIP\/VoIP integration<\/a> in one place, without having to manage each feature as a separate communication layer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes MirrorFly a good fit for enterprises, and growing SaaS platforms that need more control over their data and cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we tested <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirrorfly.com\/video\/\">MirrorFly\u2019s video call solution<\/a> for our sample project, we didn&#8217;t have to build WebRTC from scratch. Their ready-made UI made it quick and easy. In simulation environments like poor network conditions like packet loss, and high jitters, MirrorFly continued to provide clear audio and stable video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using MirrorFly did not push us for a separate SIP provider and media gateways. It had SIP trunking and PSTN as part of the solution.This needs to be added as a separate layer to the platform with additional development and maintenance efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is MirrorFly a better LiveKit alternative?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Combines voice, video, native chat, and AI agents in one place and lets you deploy in private cloud, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirrorfly.com\/on-premises-chat-server.php\">on-prem infrastructure<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give full control over data, and source code.

We found the web interface working well for basic team calls. When we increased the number of concurrent streams to almost 27 connections, the Video Bridge started consuming more memory and we had to tune the garbage collection additionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I find disappointing in Jitsi is that it is more focused on web conferencing and is not easy for mobile apps with modular native components. Also, when we closed the meeting session, the chat disappeared without getting stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is Jitsi a better LiveKit alternative?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It was faster to deploy when compared to LiveKit.

With just a few lines of code, developers can launch their own video rooms and screen-sharing features. It is also possible to configure server-side recording to create combined MP4 recordings of the meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only thing we found &#8220;not great&#8221; with OpenVidu is that the connection setup on iOS Safari and React Native was slower when compared to LiveKit or MirrorFly.

For businesses that need control over their infrastructure, this may be limiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to LiveKit, Daily.co&#8217;s in-room chat is temporary.

In one of the test calls, I moved an user from viewer to speaker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The transition was smooth, giving the user permissions for audio, and media, in a way no one could notice during the call. 100ms also has UI components that favor the development of custom frontends for classroom-like apps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main downside of the platform is &#8211; you can host it only on the cloud, leaving you dependent on third-party services forever. Also, their platform does not include in-app chat, and you may need to introduce a new provider to handle the messaging capabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is 100ms a better LiveKit alternative?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>100ms is reliable for managing role permissions for speakers, co-hosts, and viewer-to-speaker transitions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provides built-in templates to create virtual classrooms, and reduces the frontend work when compared to LiveKit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"telnyx\"><strong>7.

Telnyx provides that carrier layer to the infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes Telnyx a good option to consider when building enterprise call centers, click-to-call capabilities on browsers, and for platforms that need to integrate PSTN\/VoIP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my testing, Telnyx performed well, especially across carrier-related latency. It connected my browser to mobile in less than 1.2 seconds. During the handoff, there was only a little audio packet loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if you ask whether Telnyx is suitable for building team collaboration platforms, I might not be able to agree with it. Their video SDK covers the basic capabilities with limited room UI and lacks screen sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is Telnyx a better LiveKit alternative?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Telnyx is particularly suitable for teams that need phone numbers in their workflow, without relying on a SIP provider in the middle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since Telnyx uses a private network to connect to PSTN networks, the connection stays stable at low latency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pipecat\"><strong>8.

After this,&nbsp; I streamed the output through Cartesia\u2019s TTS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, I expected a huge delay and interruption. To my surprise, the platform managed speech interruptions well, filtered out the noise, and maintained the latency below 700ms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I had only a few complaints about Pipecat, I see the biggest risk of using Pipecat might be pushing you to build media servers, UI kits and room signaling all by yourself.
