DPDP Platform Comparison · July 2026
ConsentOS vs Vishwaas AI
Vishwaas AI's offer was direct: enrol by June 30, 2026 and the license stays free. That window has closed, and the license was never the full cost. Cloud hosting and professional support are priced separately, and the list price for new customers is Rs 50 lakh per year. This page compares the free-license model against a platform with published all-in pricing, on the obligations the DPDP Act 2023 actually holds a regulated business to.

| Operating cost | Tier pricing from Rs 2,999/mo, published on the pricing page | Cloud hosting and professional support priced separately from the license |
| Consent records and audit trail (Section 6) | Timestamped, tamper-evident records | Offered; public documentation limited |
| Data principal rights portal (access, erasure, withdrawal) | Full lifecycle, SLA-tracked | Offered; SLA handling not publicly documented |

Data from Vishwaas AI's published offer and public statements · July 2026
Where Vishwaas AI is strong
The free-forever license was an aggressive move, and organisations that enrolled before June 30, 2026 hold a real asset: a perpetual license at zero license cost, backed by Cross Identity's enterprise identity heritage. For an organisation with in-house infrastructure capacity that can run the platform without paid hosting or support packages, the economics can work.
Where ConsentOS wins
A license is not an operating compliance programme. The DPDP Act 2023 holds a regulated business to consent records under Section 6, the data principal rights lifecycle, retention and erasure decisions, and for BFSI the collision between RBI and PMLA retention mandates and the erasure right. ConsentOS publishes its full operating price and is built around that collision: field-level retention mapping, the Legal Obligation Override under Section 8(7), and a signed denial register built for Data Protection Board scrutiny. If the free license is carrying hosting and support costs you did not budget, or obligations it does not cover, the exit is documented: consent record import moves your history in.
ConsentOS vs Vishwaas AI, answered.
Is Vishwaas AI really free forever?
The license is, for organisations that enrolled before the June 30, 2026 deadline, per Vishwaas AI's published offer. The license is one component of the operating cost. Cloud hosting and professional support are separate, optional paid packages, and an enterprise consent platform does not run without hosting or support. For organisations that missed the deadline, the published list price is Rs 50 lakh per year. The number to compare is the total annual cost of operating the platform, not the license line.
ConsentOS as a Vishwaas AI alternative: what is the difference?
The difference is the pricing model and the obligation scope. Vishwaas AI leads with a free license and prices hosting and support separately. ConsentOS publishes the full operating price: implementation fee plus a monthly retainer from Rs 2,999, covering consent records, the data principal rights lifecycle, retention and erasure controls, and for regulated finance the Legal Obligation Override with a signed denial register. For a bank or NBFC, the deciding question is not the license cost. It is whether the platform models the RBI retention mandate against the DPDP erasure right.
Can we migrate from Vishwaas AI to ConsentOS?
Yes. ConsentOS supports bulk import of existing consent records, so the consent history you have accumulated moves with you. The migration route is documented, and the Gap Assessment identifies which DPDP obligations your current setup covers before you commit. Start at the migration page or run the free assessment first.
Does Vishwaas AI handle the RBI retention conflict for BFSI?
There is no public documentation of field-level handling for the conflict between RBI and PMLA retention mandates and the DPDP Act's erasure right. ConsentOS is built around that conflict: field-level retention mapping, a Legal Obligation Override under Section 8(7), and a denial register that documents every refused erasure with its statutory basis. If you are regulated by RBI, IRDAI, or SEBI, this is the capability to verify with any vendor before purchase, ours included.
We missed the June 30 free enrollment deadline. What are the options?
The published list price for a Vishwaas AI license is Rs 50 lakh per year, with hosting and support separate. ConsentOS tiers start at Rs 2,999 per month plus a one-time implementation fee, with the full price list published. Run the free Gap Assessment to scope which DPDP obligations apply to your organisation, then compare total annual cost against the obligation set each platform actually covers.
