+## Elixir WebRTC vs Membrane
+
+Elixir WebRTC is the W3C WebRTC standard implementation written in almost pure Elixir.
+It does not use Membrane under the hood, and it aims to be as close to the W3C (and hence JavaScript) API as possible.
+
+Membrane, on the other hand, is a multimedia framework. It supports a lot of diffrent protocols, codecs and containers.
+Membrane uses Elixir WebRTC in its [membrane_webrtc_plugin](https://github.com/membraneframework/membrane_webrtc_plugin) making it possible to use WebRTC with other Membrane elements.
