Archive Intel review
A focused archive and supervision platform with broad channel coverage and layered pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Archive Intel is a communications archiving and supervision platform for SEC- and FINRA-regulated financial firms. It supports registered investment advisors, broker-dealers, wealth management firms, and larger financial organizations that need to capture business communications across approved channels. Coverage includes text messaging, LinkedIn, email, social media, chat, websites, and other communication sources, with web, iOS, and Android access. Its core feature set combines continuous capture, contextual AI communication review, configurable retention, WORM-compliant immutable storage, advanced search, reporting, exports, role-based access controls, and audit trails.
Pricing is structured around a $99 monthly Archive Intel Platform fee with no minimums, 1TB of included storage, and no onboarding, retrieval, or export fees. Connector access costs $12 per user per month and can cover channels such as LinkedIn, email, social media, Slack, Teams, or Zoom. Text archiving for iMessage, WhatsApp, and Android SMS from personal devices costs $40 per user per month. AI Marketing Review costs $500 per month and adds pre-distribution compliance review, suggested alternatives, and revision and approval decision archiving. The $12 per-user connector price therefore sits alongside the platform fee rather than representing the complete minimum account cost.
Channel breadth is a central strength. Archive Intel lists integrations for iMessage, WhatsApp, Android SMS, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, StockTwits, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zoom Chat, Bloomberg IB, Microsoft Outlook, and Gmail. Retention policies can be configured by channel and record type, while regulatory, legal-hold, and litigation-discovery export packages support supervisory and legal workflows. It suits small regulated teams adding channels gradually and firms prioritizing communication oversight across varied platforms. Teams seeking a general-purpose social media tool, or organizations without regulated archiving requirements, should consider a narrower product instead.
