## Messaging App Communication Archiving for Financial Firms

Comma captures messages from WhatsApp, Signal, iMessage, and 35+ other channels — no device footprint, no black-box software, no surprise fees. Our AI engine prioritizes critical messages, slashes false positives, and reduces analyst fatigue. Humans call the shots, not algorithms alone. Explore our WhatsApp & Signal source code on [GitHub](https://github.com/comma-compliance), or deploy our hosted service for AI matching, secure storage, and tamper-proof archiving.

### 1.Transparency: Open-Source

> For too long, compliance tech lived behind closed doors. Opaque, rigid, and ripe for security gaps. We put our WhatsApp & Signal capture logic and our AI compliance product, Arc Relay, on GitHub. No NDA, no request process, just public code.\
> \
> Today you can:\
> • Demonstrate compliance to your examiners in seconds.\
> • Eliminate “black-box” risk and vendor lock-in.\
> • Show your CIO and CISO exactly how your data flows.\
> • Review commits, raise issues, then audit our changes in real time.\

### 2. Platform Support for Hard-to-Interact Platforms

> [WhatsApp](/whatsapp-compliance-archiving), [Signal](/signal-compliance-solution), and [iMessage](/imessage-compliance) don't offer public APIs for compliance archiving. Most tools respond to that by blocking the apps, falling back to SMS, or installing software on employee devices. We didn't like any of those options.

> Comma captures messages directly — no device footprint, no workarounds, no changes to how your team communicates. The capture code for WhatsApp and Signal is on GitHub if you want to see exactly how it works.

### 3. Predictable Pricing

> One flat price per person. Every channel included, unlimited exports, no per-connector fees, no egress charges. Legacy tools make pricing complicated on purpose — separate add-ons for each channel, fees every time you export. We don't do that.
