ConsentXHow the leading consent platforms stack up against what India's DPDP Act and 2025 Rules actually require.
We scored each platform on the obligations the DPDP Act 2023 and the DPDP Rules (notified 13 November 2025) place on the consent layer.
A clear notice and free, specific, informed, unambiguous consent for each purpose, with itemised purposes (DPDP Act s5–s6).
Verifiable parental consent and an age-gate for users under 18, with no tracking or behavioural targeting of children.
Withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it, and processing must stop on withdrawal.
Tamper-evident, time-stamped evidence of what each Data Principal agreed to, ready for the Data Protection Board.
Access, correction, erasure and grievance handling with response timers, plus a path to the Consent Manager model.
Notice and consent available in English and the languages of the Eighth Schedule.
DPDPA-native consent you can ship this quarter, with tamper-evident proof and global coverage.
ConsentX is built consent-first for the DPDP Act: itemised purpose notices, a Section 9 age-gate with parental flows, withdrawal that is as easy as giving consent, and a tamper-evident SHA-256 receipt for every decision. It also covers GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, US state laws and LGPD, so one platform handles India and your other markets. You can start free and be live the same day.
Consider: SaaS only today, with a signed DPA and published subprocessors. If you require strictly on-premises hosting, see Consentin.
An enterprise data-command-center: discovery, DSR automation, DSPM and AI governance.
Securiti AI is a strong fit for large enterprises that need a full PrivacyOps and data-governance program, with data discovery and mapping across internal systems, DSR automation and AI governance alongside DPDPA support. It is sales-led and quote-priced rather than something you ship the same afternoon.
Consider: Enterprise, quote-based, with a longer rollout. Overkill if you mainly need provable web and app consent.
Compare ConsentX vs Securiti AIThe incumbent privacy-management platform: broad, powerful and enterprise-priced.
OneTrust is the most widely deployed enterprise privacy suite and covers DPDPA within a much larger toolset. It suits organisations that have already standardised on OneTrust elsewhere and want consent inside the same platform, with the budget and timeline of an enterprise rollout.
Consider: Reported entry minimums around $10k/year, opaque pricing and a multi-week implementation. No free plan.
Compare ConsentX vs OneTrustAn India-first DPDP program with data discovery, DPIA and on-premises options.
Consentin (by Leegality) is a strong India-first choice for large, sales-led BFSI buyers who want a full privacy program, consent plus data discovery, DPIA and vendor risk, with on-premises deployment and consent in many Indian languages. It is enterprise-first rather than self-serve.
Consider: Enterprise sales cycle and annual or on-prem quotes. Less suited to teams that want to self-serve and ship today.
Compare ConsentX vs Consentin by LeegalityAn India-focused DPDPA privacy-management platform for consent and data-principal requests.
GoTrust focuses on Indian DPDPA needs, covering consent, cookie consent and data-principal request handling. It is a reasonable fit for organisations that operate primarily in India and want a local, India-centric platform, sold enterprise-first.
Consider: India-focused rather than global, quote-based pricing, and no tamper-evident consent receipts surfaced publicly.
Compare ConsentX vs GoTrustAn AI-first data-privacy and fraud-prevention platform with privacy-compliance modules.
Data Safeguard centres on AI-driven discovery and protection of personal data and fraud prevention, with privacy-compliance modules that touch DPDPA. It is most useful where data discovery and fraud are the primary problem rather than web and app consent capture.
Consider: Not a purpose-built consent and cookie platform. Quote-based, with no free plan or tamper-evident consent receipts surfaced publicly.
