Can someone please tell me why API is better or worse than SDK? Would love to know peoples experiences.
Software Development Kit is a selection of tools and possibly including API’s as part of source or dlls included, it’s an umbrella term for a collection of stuff that’s helpful to solve a task, for example an AR SDK.
API is the Application Programming Interface… the commands you use in Unity for example, or a library with function calls.
They’re totally different things that a google would’ve cleared up. You don’t compare them.

Experience has nothing to do with their definitions and purposes. There are only facts and they’re covered by Wikipedia.
