TikTok cuts TikTok app development by 5,600 man-hours with Banuba

The customer, TikTok, a major social media platform, required a way to develop a competing short video application efficiently without the prohibitive time and cost of building complex features like augmented reality filters and video editing tools from scratch. The vendor, Banuba, provided a solution through its AI Video Editor SDK.

Banuba's solution involved the integration of its premade SDK, which included most of the necessary video editing and AR features. This approach saved an estimated 5,600 man-hours in development time, which translated to a cost reduction of $100,000-$200,000 and accelerated the time-to-market by cutting the development timeline by 2-3 months.
