DPDP Compliance Tool Comparison · September 2026
ConsentOS vs the field.
One feature defines ConsentOS: an explicit Legal Obligation Override for RBI and PMLA retention mandates that conflict with DPDP erasure rights. Some vendors publish handling for that conflict and some pages are silent on it. The answers below state what each vendor's own pages say, with the date they were read. RBI Advisory 3/2026 directs supervised entities toward a unified platform that captures, tracks, and updates customer consent consistently and in an auditable manner. The comparison below shows where the category converges and where it diverges. For enterprise suites (Privy, Perfios, OneTrust), see the answers below the table and the full 2026 buyer's guide.

Honest answers to the obvious questions.
Why not Privy (IDfy)?
Privy by IDfy ranked first in the MeitY and NeGD DPDP Innovation Challenge, by its own published result, and publishes ten connected modules, from consent governance and rights management to data discovery with 200+ connectors. Its About page reports more than 50 live enterprise clients, and its banking page names Axis Bank. If you are a large enterprise buying a full data governance estate, evaluate Privy first. Its pages, read on 29 September 2026, publish retention schedules, erasure workflows and evidence of retention and deletion decisions. They describe no mapping of an erasure request against an RBI or PMLA mandate and no register of refused requests, and they publish no price. ConsentOS makes the opposite trade: a focused position for regulated mid-market BFSI, with the Legal Obligation Override in the Compliance Vault, operational in 30 days, at published prices.

OneTrust is the global privacy incumbent and publishes an India DPDPA solution: control frameworks mapped to the Act, consent collection and withdrawal, rights requests, data mapping and breach notification. It lists Bengaluru among its global hubs. For a multinational already standardised on it, extending to the DPDP Act keeps governance in one estate. Its pricing page carries no figure and quotes per customer. Its India DPDPA page, read on 29 September 2026, describes no handling of an erasure request that meets an RBI or PMLA retention mandate, and its pages state no intent on Consent Manager registration. Ask the vendor on both. ConsentOS is built by an India-incorporated company for that conflict, with published prices and a 30-day implementation.
Full comparison: ConsentOS vs OneTrust →Why not Perfios DPDP Suite?
Perfios announced its DPDP Suite on 30 March 2026: data discovery and classification, automated RoPA, consent governance, rights management, cookie consent and database activity monitoring, in 22 scheduled languages. Its consent product page states how it treats an erasure request that meets an RBI or PMLA retention mandate. The system enforces the rules you configure, keeps the required audit metadata, deletes what may be deleted, and tells the Data Principal what was kept and why. Its pages, read on 29 September 2026, describe no register of refused requests, name no DPDP deployment and publish no price. Ask for a DPDP reference deployment, then compare against the Compliance Vault: the conflict flagged at erasure time with its governing instrument, and a signed denial register for every refusal.
Full comparison: ConsentOS vs Perfios →Why not Seqrite?
Seqrite is Quick Heal's enterprise security arm. Its Data Privacy product covers data discovery, data principal rights, consent lifecycle and breach notification support, and sits beside its endpoint, DLP and XDR products in one console. For an enterprise or government buyer consolidating security and privacy under one vendor, evaluate it on that basis. The distinction is the same one that runs through this page. A security suite detects and classifies personal data well. Seqrite's published product pages, read on 28 September 2026, describe no handling of the RBI and PMLA retention mandate against the DPDP erasure right, and no denial register. Ask the vendor directly. For a regulated BFSI entity that conflict is the obligation, and it is what the Compliance Vault is built to hold.
Why not Consentin (Leegality)?
Consentin is the strongest consent-capture competitor, with BFSI engagements announced at IIFL Finance and Union Bank of India. It also publishes a data lifecycle module that sets retention policies and deletes data when a retention period ends. Its product pages, read on 29 September 2026, describe no register of refused erasure requests and no mapping of a request against the RBI or PMLA mandate. ConsentOS supports resolution of that conflict with the Legal Obligation Override: statutory-retained data flagged and documented against consent-based data, with a signed denial register for every refused erasure request. If your business holds data under a statutory retention mandate (NBFCs, lenders, insurance), that conflict is the buying decision.

CookieYes is a cookie consent specialist. It publishes a free plan and paid plans at US$10, US$25 and US$55 a month per domain. Its regulations page, read on 29 September 2026, lists GDPR, CCPA, LGPD and other regimes. The DPDP Act is not among them, though CookieYes publishes a DPDP guide on its blog. For a consumer website whose exposure is the cookie banner, it is a reasonable choice at a lower price, and ConsentOS offers no banner. Its product pages describe no rights request portal, no breach workflow and no handling of sectoral retention. If you are regulated by the RBI, IRDAI or SEBI, put those three questions to any vendor you shortlist.

Vishwaas AI's published offer was a free-forever license for organisations that enrolled by June 30, 2026. Cross Identity's launch release of 6 April 2026 put the licence at an average of Rs 50 lakh per year. Its pricing page publishes no rupee figure today and lists annual operational support pricing from day one. For an enrollee that has priced that support, the license economics can work. Two questions remain: what the annual support costs, and how the platform handles an erasure request when an RBI or PMLA mandate still requires the record. Its home, platform, pricing and BFSI pages, read on 29 September 2026, do not describe that case. ConsentOS publishes its full operating price and supports resolution of that conflict with the Legal Obligation Override and a signed denial register, and consent record import moves your history in if the free license turns out to carry costs you did not budget.

KavachOne is a compliance and security firm, and a PCI DSS Qualified Security Assessor. Its ConsentiQo platform and Privacy Suite cover consent in 22 Indian languages, a Privacy Centre for rights requests, PII discovery, RoPA, DPIA, vendor risk and breach response. It publishes sector pages for banking, BFSI and insurance, and an Enterprise plan for regulated sectors with children's data workflows and custom retention policies. Its pages, read on 29 September 2026, publish no price. They describe no handling of an erasure request that meets an RBI or PMLA retention mandate and no register of refused requests. For a regulated lender or insurer that case is the buying decision. Ask the vendor directly.
Full comparison: ConsentOS vs KavachOne →Why not DPDP Guard?
DPDP Guard publishes a broad platform: per-purpose consent capture, a rights portal, cookie scanning, breach tracking against the DPDP 72-hour report and the CERT-In 6-hour clock, eight SDKs and a free plan covering one domain, 1,000 consents and 10 rights requests a month. Its features page, read on 29 September 2026, also describes rejecting an erasure request with a recorded statutory basis and citation, and an evidence bundle that lists each statutory denial in a register the DPO signs off. A regulated buyer should run the same erasure request through both platforms. The difference that rests on published facts is price. On the monthly fee, ConsentOS Starter is Rs 2,999 against Rs 7,999 and Growth is Rs 14,999 against Rs 34,999, plus a one-time ConsentOS implementation fee. The Override itself sits in the Compliance Vault at Rs 1,50,000 a month, and DPDP Guard's pages do not state which plan carries its denial record.
Full comparison: ConsentOS vs DPDP Guard →Why not AquaConsento?
AquaConsento is a Kolkata company, founded in 2024 by its own account, with a banking page that covers KYC consent orchestration, product-level consent, audit evidence retrieval and import of existing consent records. That puts it close to ConsentOS on sector focus. Its case studies describe a bank and an insurer without naming them, and it publishes no price. Its banking, platform and rights pages, read on 29 September 2026, describe no handling of an erasure request that meets an RBI or PMLA retention mandate and no register of refused requests. Put one question to it: what does the platform record when a customer asks for erasure and the retention period has not run, and what does it show an inspector? ConsentOS answers with the Legal Obligation Override and a signed denial register in the Compliance Vault.
Why not ComplyDP?
ComplyDP, a unit of Nihonium Labs in Bengaluru, publishes a free 10-control scan and three priced programmes: Rs 4,00,000 one time for small companies, from Rs 8,00,000 for a single-entity enterprise, and from Rs 20,00,000 for enterprise and Significant Data Fiduciary scope, each with an annual renewal. Lawyer-reviewed checks are part of every paid programme, and it offers a VPC or on-premise agent for regulated buyers. Its fintech playbook covers the RBI overlap, including a dual breach workflow and deletion of KYC data after the statutory retention period. Its pages, read on 29 September 2026, describe no register of refused erasure requests. If you want legal review bundled with software, evaluate it. If the question is what the platform records when an erasure request meets a retention mandate, put that question to both vendors.
