Continuum vs Focal AI: Built in Canada for Canadian Advisors

Continuum and Focal AI are both built for Canadian advisors, and both are SOC 2 Type II certified with Canadian data residency and PIPEDA, OPC and CIRO alignment. The differences are in capture and integrations. Continuum captures meetings natively on the advisor's device, so no bot joins the Zoom, Teams or Meet call, and it also captures phone calls, VoIP softphones such as Zoom Phone, RingCentral, Telus, Rogers and Dialpad, and in-person meetings through the mobile app. Focal sends a bot into the call and does not capture phone or VoIP natively. Continuum integrates through native APIs and MCP only, including Conquest Planning; Focal combines a browser agent with limited APIs. Continuum also includes smart client profiles and Pages, branded interactive client deliverables. Continuum is headquartered in Toronto and starts at CA$79 per seat per month on an annual plan; Focal is based in San Francisco at $100 per seat per month.
