What is the Amazon Chime SDK?
Note
Amazon Chime SDK SIP media applications will no longer be open to new customers starting October 29, 2026. If you would like to use SIP media applications, sign up prior to that date. Existing customers can continue to use the service as normal. For more information, see Amazon Chime SDK SIP media applications availability change.
The Amazon Chime SDK provides a set of real-time communications components that developers can use to add messaging, audio, video, and screen sharing capabilities to their web or mobile applications. For instance, developers can add video to a health application so patients can consult with doctors on health issues remotely, or create customized audio prompts for integration with a public switched telephone network (PSTN). By using the Amazon Chime SDK, developers can help eliminate the cost, complexity, and the friction of creating and maintaining their own real-time communication infrastructure and services.

Pricing
The Amazon Chime SDK offers pay-for-use pricing with no upfront fees. Developers implementing
the SDK can choose to implement some or all of the available media modalities (audio,
video, and screen share) for a single rate. Messaging, media pipelines, speech
enhancement, and PSTN audio capabilities are also available with pay-for-use pricing.
