Honk.IOBuilt in Canada, for Canada
Honk.IO exists because Canadian developers deserve an SMS API that understands Canadian law.
Our Mission
Canadian businesses sending SMS face a patchwork of federal and provincial regulations — CASL consent rules, CRTC Do Not Call List requirements, PIPEDA data residency obligations, and Quebec Law 25 privacy mandates. Most SMS providers are built for the US market and treat Canadian compliance as an afterthought.
HonkIO is different. We built compliance into the API itself. The system won't let you send a non-compliant message. Consent is tracked automatically. CRTC DNCL checking is coming soon. Your data is stored in Canada. You focus on your product — we handle the regulatory complexity.
What We Stand For
Canadian Data Sovereignty
Every byte of customer data is stored in Canada — our PostgreSQL database and Redis cache run in the ca-central-1 (Montréal) region, not the US like most providers.
Compliance by Default
CASL, PIPEDA, and Quebec Law 25 — with CRTC DNCL checking on the way — we built these into the API so developers don't have to become regulatory experts. Non-compliant messages are blocked, not warned about.
Developer-First
Clean REST API. Bilingual error messages. Test mode that actually validates compliance. We build the tools we'd want to use ourselves.
Transparency
Simple per-message pricing in Canadian dollars. No hidden fees, no contracts, no surprises. We publish our uptime, and our compliance posture is documented publicly.
