Reviewer scorecard
“Clean API for embedding video calls. The prebuilt components save weeks of development time.”
“One API for all notification channels. The workflow builder handles complex routing and preferences elegantly.”
“For adding video to your app, Daily is simpler than Twilio Video and more modern than Vonage.”
“Building notification infrastructure from scratch is surprisingly complex. Knock handles preferences, batching, and multi-channel delivery.”
“Video as a feature in every app requires great APIs. Daily is building the infrastructure layer.”
“Notification infrastructure as a service will become standard. Every app needs it, nobody wants to build it.”
