Check out a new voice and video API product by Sendbird, the company co-founded by my friend John Kim.

Thank you Justin! Really appreciate the continued support from YC days!
Damn! I think every SaaS company is considering how to add this feature, and Sendbird Calls makes it super easy. Congrats on the great launch!
Maker
Thank you for the kind words!
Looks great, congrats on the launch. I assume Sendbird Calls are only for mobile. Any plans for to launch for web apps?
Maker
We already have and SDK and quickstart app for JavaScript! Built in-site calls into your web app in no time!
Awesome! Chat and Call can be built at once!

Thanks Doosik!
I’m into it 👍 You could build a whole lot of TeleConference apps, for many different use cases, in a post Covid world.

Yes, we expect many apps and websites to start thinking about real-time voice and video in the context of their own UX in the coming months and years, now that remote “in-person” work and communication is becoming more mainstream.

⚡️ Thank you and right on point! 🙏
Welcome! 🙌
Absolutely agree that UX designers at many companies haha, are now tasked with implementing video. We're already looking at ways to integrate 1-1 matching with experts on our platform and need a way to provide in-app/in-browser video experience, once that connection is made. So we will definitely be trying it out!
Love what John Kim and his amazing team have created with Sendbird. Super easy for developers to get up and running with chat, and now equally easy to enable voice and video calls. You guys rock 🤘🏻

Thank you David! Appreciate the kind words!
What is a pricing model? also how do you differentiate this product over other voice over IP product in the market?
Maker
We follow the industry standards of charging by the minute per user, at different rates for audio and video. Minutes are prepaid. Although Sendbird Calls is not yet as mature as other products in the market, it stands out in its simplicity and focus on the developer experience. Developers can make their first call within 15 minutes of signing up.
Appreciate your answers.
your user name is markatsendbird, isn’t this question a little disingenuous?
As you pointed out, my id explicitly represents my engagement with this company and I am aware of that. I'd like to apologize if this regarded disingenuous attempted and made you unpleasant, but I wanted to stimulate some strategic information shared to this post so people could get involved more easily.
I wish you had pay-as-you-use model instead of minimum commitment ranging from $400, it becomes lot easier for startup to scale, I also think your pricing structure is not easy to understand, for instance for "Starter 5K" it seems it is only for chat, and for video calls, it says talk to expert. It is kind of turn-off when pricing are not transparent. I wish this could be fixed, anyway, product seems promising, best of luck and looking forward to use it in near future.
Maker
Good feedback, thank you. Calls will be going to a self-serve model soon, such that you will no longer need to "talk to an expert."
yes, prices are extremely tough for startups. We used them on a project and they estimated $600/month when we wanted to go into beta. We ended up losing two weeks writing our own chat client to replace it, which was pretty annoying. I assumed a reasonable usage based pricing when I first incorporated them into the app.
You should note Sendbird's new voice and video API. It's Awesome!
