    Augure builds language models and AI tools for Canada's regulated industries, with data sovereignty as the design constraint rather than a feature. It states that it has no US corporate parent and no US investors, keeps storage in Canada, and runs inference in Canada under zero-retention agreements. It operates its own production models — Rosedale One, Ossington 5 and Tofino 3 — rather than reselling another vendor's API.

    What they offer

    • Chat

      Assistant for regulated work, with desktop and mobile apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android.

    • Legal

      Contract review oriented to Canadian law.

    • Knowledge

      Private question-answering over an organization's own material.

    • Code

      Terminal-based coding agent.

    • Enterprise deployment

      Custom deployments, fine-tuned models and managed infrastructure.

    What it replaces

    Where the fit is imperfect, we say so. A substitution that quietly drops a capability you depend on isn’t a saving.

    • ChatGPT

      OpenAI

      Same job for assistant work, and Augure ships comparable desktop and mobile clients. Frontier-model capability is not equivalent — evaluate on your own task before moving a team across.

    • Claude

      Anthropic

      Comparable assistant and coding-agent surface. The distinction Augure draws is jurisdiction and retention, not model parity — benchmark before switching.

    • Microsoft 365 Copilot

      Microsoft

      Overlaps on organizational Q&A and drafting. Copilot's deep integration with Word, Excel and Teams has no equivalent here.

    • Harvey

      Harvey AI

      Both do AI contract review; Augure's is oriented to Canadian law specifically. Harvey is far more established in large-firm workflows.

    Pricing model: Per user, per month; free tier available

    OpenAI · American

    $25 CADper user / month · ChatGPT PlusSource · checked September 22, 2026

    Both figures are in Canadian dollars, which is the point of comparing them. OpenAI and Anthropic both price their pages in the visitor's local currency, so a Canadian sees CA$25 per month for ChatGPT Plus, not the US$20 sticker quoted in most coverage. OpenAI also lists Go at CA$11 and Pro from CA$136 per month. Anthropic's Claude, the other product Augure stands in for, lists Pro at $23 CAD per month on an annual plan ($280 up front) or $28 CAD billed monthly, and Max from $140 CAD per month. Augure lists a free tier, Pro at $20 CAD and Max at $80 CAD per user per month, plus custom enterprise pricing. Plan features differ across all of these — usage limits especially — so treat the monthly figure as a starting point, not a like-for-like swap.
