What is the difference between Agora SDK and Agora UI kit?

Question

Agora UI kit

https://docs.agora.io/en/video-calling/get-started/get-started-uikit?platform=flutter#reference

Agora SDK

https://docs.agora.io/en/video-calling/get-started/get-started-sdk?platform=flutter

Both have different dependencies. Yet both works, I am confused which one to choose.

I am new at flutter and I want to implement Agora video call feature in my app. I am really confused what is the difference between UI kit vs SDK?

Also, I want to implement 1-on-1 video call, with time limit, is it possible on Agora? Eg. User1 and User2 have a session for 45 mins and once time is up, call gets disconnected after automatically.

Answer 1

Agora UI kit Agora provide prebuild UI so that the developer can just use that and not need to worry much about the UI part.

Agora Sdk Agora sdk is just the basic sdk where you have to do all the UI and logic part by yourself.

Answer 2

If you are developing in flutter, agora has an official plugin agora_uikit which just has prebuilt UIs and other needed plugins needed for video calling, so you don't need to develop them using their core SDK's (Java/Kotlin/Swift),
