Cloud SDK and Engage SDK comparison chart
If you don't have a JSS Next.js app hosted on XM Cloud, you cannot use the Cloud SDK. Instead, use the Sitecore Engage SDK to implement tracking, analytics, and personalization in your app.
The Sitecore Cloud SDK and the Sitecore Engage SDK both provide tracking and personalization capabilities, but they differ in the licenses they require, the technology stack they are compatible with, and the individual features they provide. To choose the SDK that best suits your requirements, consult the following comparison chart.
