My take
Red5 Pro and Ant Media would be my favorites for their WebRTC support. Wowza is the industry standard, but their WebRTC story is weak. OptiView is more of a full packaged solution and Ceeblue is niche.

| Tool ▲ | AI Visibility iHow often AI recommends this tool - the average of three model scores from 0 to 10: Claude Sonnet 4.6, Gemini 2.5 Flash and GPT-4o. The models disagree a lot here, which is the point.▲ | Quality iA measured score from 0 to 100, blending documentation depth (docs) and feature coverage (feat).▲ | Agent-ready iWhether the vendor ships something that lets an AI agent build with or operate it: an agent skill or MCP server (full), or just an llms.txt docs file (adjacent). Here the small vendors lead and the big ones have nothing.▲ | Release cadence iHow actively the product ships, measured June 2026: releases in the last 12 months and the latest release. Raw figures from each vendor's release notes and changelog, never composited into a score.▲ | Pricing iIndicative entry pricing gathered June 2026 from public pages. Most of this category is sales-gated. A quiet context column, not a score, and not verified for your contract.▲ | Tsahi's note ▲ |

MEASURED
- Release cadence was pulled from each vendor's release notes, changelog and GitHub in June 2026
- AI Visibility and Quality come from my evaluation runs in the same window
- None of these is composited into a single score
VERIFY
- Pricing is indicative, gathered from public pages in June 2026, and is not a scored column
- Red5 Pro and Ceeblue release figures are approximate (their sites block automated access)
- Confirm current rates and versions with each vendor
None of that is a score. It's a recommendation. The grades on this page measure the machines, not my opinion of the vendors.
