The biggest difference between ToC and ToB is the different user groups. The users of ToC are basically individual users, while the users of ToB are generally enterprises and customers who purchase products.

  • User data: The live broadcast data of TOB enterprises belongs to the enterprise, for example, user behavior, user’s basic information, attributes, etc., which is conducive to data analysis and customer marketing. For example, basic data of fans, behavior data, etc. are not known.
  • security: TOB corporate live broadcasts focus on the privatization and security of live broadcasts and let them be watched by designated groups of people, such as live broadcasts of surgery and live broadcasts of industry summits. TOC live broadcast security is weak.
  • Audience service: TOB enterprise lives broadcast has professional customer service and after-sales service. It can satisfy the needs of customers more timely. TOC live broadcast does not have dedicated customer service, and the timeliness of processing demand is uncontrollable.
