Three tiers. Pick per stream, per room, per use case.
Latency is a choice, not a fate. Run a real-time auction floor and a 15-second broadcast on the same workspace — they share quota, billing, and analytics.
Multi-region active-active from day one.
Sticky SFU placement picks the closest cluster by geo, load and network. Signed playback via per-tenant CloudFront key groups. Global DNS failover keeps streams alive when a region blinks.
Turn viewers into buyers — inside the stream.
Product overlay cards, one-tap add-to-cart, in-stream checkout, multi-seller co-host, gifts and super chats. The whole funnel happens without the viewer ever leaving the broadcast.
Three SaaS apps that work the day you sign up.
No installation, no SDK work, no rollout plan. Host a meeting, run a webinar, produce a multi-camera live — and brand it as your own.
From live shopping to telehealth — covered out of the box.
One API shape. Every platform your team writes in.
Generated from a single Protobuf + OpenAPI source of truth, so the SDK reads the same in TypeScript, Swift or Rust.

Everything you need to ship live in under a day — and debug it in production without guessing.
Enterprise-grade from the first stream.
We moved off a rented streaming vendor and cut latency in half while owning our data. Kardolive shipped what took our old stack three vendors to fake.

Questions, answered.
Do you run on a third-party streaming vendor?+
No. The entire media plane — ingest, SFU, transcode, packaging, recording, DRM and delivery — runs on infrastructure you control. No Agora, ZEGO, Mux, Twilio or LiveKit Cloud in the path.
How low can latency go?+
Sub-300ms glass-to-glass for real-time WebRTC, 1–3s for LL-HLS, 5–15s for standard HLS. You pick the tier per stream.
Which platforms do the SDKs cover?+
15 languages — JS/TS, Swift, Kotlin, Java, C#/.NET, C++, Python, Go, Rust, Flutter, React Native, Unity, Unreal, PHP and Ruby — plus native TV apps and an iframe embed.
Can I start for free?+
Yes. The free tier includes 100 concurrent viewers, 10 streaming hours/month, 50K API calls and 1 GB of recording — no card required.
Is it compliant for regulated verticals?+
SOC 2, HIPAA (with BAA), ISO 27001, GDPR and a GovCloud deployment template. E2EE rooms and per-tenant KMS keys are available.
Live streaming, your way — without the vendor tax.
Start free with one channel. Scale up when your numbers prove the unit economics.
