    What Ruby can't offer in Canada

    5× cheaper with more features

    Ruby starts at $235 US/mo for 50 minutes of human calls. Agent IA Vocal starts at CA$49/mo. For a Canadian SMB, that's savings of over CA$2,500 per year.

    AI 24/7 vs humans during business hours

    Ruby's human receptionists have schedules — they're not available nights, weekends, or holidays. Agent IA Vocal answers every call, at any hour, without exception.

    Bilingual EN/FR voice

    Agent IA Vocal speaks both Canadian English and Quebec French — with the right accent, expressions, and natural fluency. Ruby is a US company whose agents speak English only.

    PIPEDA-compliant Canadian hosting

    Your clients' data stays in Canada. Ruby processes and stores data from the US — a direct compliance issue for Canadian businesses under PIPEDA (and Quebec Law 25).

    Canadian bilingual support team

    Our team is Canadian, responds in both English and French, and understands your business context. Ruby is based in Portland, Oregon — English-only US support.

    Canadian local phone numbers

    Your clients see a recognizable Canadian local number (416, 604, 403, 613, 902, plus 418/514 for Quebec) that builds trust. Ruby doesn't provide Canadian local phone numbers.
