What is Tencent RTC Call?

Tencent RTC Call is the calling SDK within Tencent RTC’s real-time communication platform. It helps developers embed one-to-one and small-group audio and video calls into applications, with a complete calling interface and call status display.

How does the free trial work?

The Call trial lasts up to 70 days, claimed in seven-day periods that must be reclaimed after expiry. It includes group calling and lists 10,000 free minutes and 100 MAU. Pay-as-you-go is unavailable in the trial. The separate account-level 10,000-minute monthly allowance is limited to the first year and does not replace the required Call subscription for continued use.

The one-to-one plan costs $199 per month and includes 100,000 package minutes and 5,000 MAU. Group Call costs $597 per month with 300,000 package minutes and 10,000 MAU. Its new-user Starter offer is $39.90 for the first month, with reduced allowances of 50,000 minutes and 1,000 MAU.
