What is 100ms?

100ms is a developer platform for adding live video and audio to your own app, not a ready-to-use meeting tool like Zoom. CEO Kshitij Gupta built it with Sarvesh Dwivedi and Aniket Behera after the three had worked on Hotstar's video platform, and the company is backed by Accel, Matrix Partners, Alpha Wave, Strive and LocalGlobe. It suits Indian edtech, telehealth, fitness, social and video-KYC products with an in-house engineering team. Customer logos include Classplus, Entri, Navi, WhiteHat, Sugarfit and Kutumb.

On the technical side it covers a lot. There are SDKs for Web, Android, iOS, React Native and Flutter, and a Prebuilt drop-in UI for every platform except iOS. A role system controls who can publish, mute or stream. Beyond that you get HLS streaming to large audiences, RTMP in and out, SFU and browser composite recording, live and post-call transcription, SIP dial-in, polls, a whiteboard plugin and Krisp noise cancellation. Data can be stored in an India region, which matters for health and fintech apps.

The trade-offs: you need developers, because even Prebuilt has to be embedded and configured. Live captions are English only. Live transcription for HLS is still marked beta. The free Developer support tier is best effort, while guaranteed response times start with Premium support at $1,500 a month or 5% of monthly spend. The company also runs a separate healthcare AI effort under 100ms.ai, which buyers may want to ask about when planning a long-term roadmap.

Pricing is usage-based and in US dollars. Each month the free tier gives 10,000 conferencing minutes and 10,000 streaming minutes, plus 300 minutes each of recording, transcription and RTMP out. After that, conferencing costs $0.004 per participant minute and HLS viewing $0.0012 per viewer minute, with a 75% discount for audio-only use. A 30-student class running 60 minutes a day for 22 days uses about 39,600 minutes, or roughly $118 a month after the free allowance.

What works well

  • +Generous free tier with 10,000 conferencing and 10,000 streaming minutes every month
  • +Flat per-minute rate with no resolution-based pricing for conferencing
  • +SDKs for Web, Android, iOS, React Native and Flutter plus a Prebuilt drop-in UI
  • +India data region available alongside US and Europe
  • +SOC 2 Type II audited, with HIPAA support for telehealth use
  • +Audio-only rooms are billed at 75% off the standard rate
  • +Built-in HLS streaming, RTMP in/out, recording, polls and whiteboard

What to watch out for

  • −Requires engineering effort, since it is infrastructure rather than a finished meeting app
  • −Billed in USD, with no INR price list published
  • −Free support is best effort, and SLA-backed support starts at $1,500 a month
  • −Live captions are English only, and HLS live transcription is still in beta
  • −HIPAA BAA costs $500 a month on the free support tier

Best suited for: Edtech apps running live classes or webinars for Indian students · Telehealth and video-KYC products that need India data residency · Social, audio room and live commerce apps with their own developers · Teams migrating from Twilio Video or Agora that want simpler per-minute pricing

100ms — frequently asked questions

How much does 100ms cost?+

100ms is free up to 10,000 conferencing minutes and 10,000 live streaming minutes a month, plus 300 minutes each of recording and transcription. After that, conferencing costs $0.004 per participant minute and HLS streaming $0.0012 per viewer minute. Audio-only use gets 75% off. Spend above $5,000 a month qualifies for custom discounts.

Is 100ms pricing in INR and does it include GST?+

100ms publishes its pricing in US dollars only, and the page says nothing about INR or GST. Indian companies paying a foreign-billed service usually account for 18% GST under reverse charge. Ask 100ms sales which entity will invoice you and whether INR billing is possible at your volume.

Does 100ms have a free plan or trial?+

Yes. 100ms has a free plan rather than a time-limited trial. Each month it includes 10,000 conferencing minutes, 10,000 live streaming minutes, 1,000 encoding minutes and 300 minutes each of recording, live transcription, RTMP out, post-call transcription and AI summaries. That is enough to build and test an app before paying anything.

100ms vs Agora vs Twilio: which should I pick?+

100ms, Agora and Twilio all sell video infrastructure. 100ms charges one flat conferencing rate of $0.004 per participant minute with no resolution tiers, gives a large free allowance, and offers an India data region. Agora has a longer track record at very large scale. Compare latency from your users' cities during a pilot, along with SDK quality.

Which platforms does 100ms support?+

100ms provides client SDKs for Web (JavaScript), Android, iOS, React Native and Flutter, plus server-side REST APIs. A Prebuilt drop-in UI is available for every platform except iOS and can be embedded as a room link or iframe. Developers who want full control can use the headless SDKs to build a custom interface.

Can 100ms store data in India?+

Yes. The 100ms security page says customers can choose where data is stored, and core databases run in the US, Europe and India. Media is not stored unless you turn on recording, and recordings normally go straight to your own storage bucket. That makes it workable for Indian health and fintech apps with residency needs.

Is 100ms secure enough for telehealth or video KYC?+

100ms holds a SOC 2 Type II report covering security, confidentiality and availability, which is shared under NDA. Media is encrypted with SRTP over DTLS using AES-256. It also supports HIPAA, and a BAA is included on Premium and Enterprise support or costs $500 a month otherwise. Video KYC appears among its listed use cases.

Does 100ms support live streaming to large audiences?+

Yes. 100ms can turn a room into an HLS stream that plays on any device, with under 10 seconds of latency, for audiences of thousands. It also accepts RTMP input from tools like OBS and can push a room out to external RTMP destinations. HLS viewing costs $0.0012 per viewer minute after 10,000 free minutes.

What support does 100ms offer?+

100ms has three support tiers. Developer support is free or 5% of monthly spend, through email and chat on a best-effort basis. Premium costs $1,500 or 5% of MRR a month and adds 24x7 incident response, with Sev-1 issues answered within an hour. Enterprise costs $2,500 or 8% of MRR and adds named account contacts.

How long does it take to integrate 100ms?+

With the 100ms Prebuilt UI, a developer can embed a working room in an app within a day or two. A fully custom interface built on the headless SDKs, with roles, recording and streaming, usually takes several weeks of engineering. Premium support includes 150 developer hours of integration help for teams that want guidance.
