When each is the right pick.
Scored by shape and fit. Honest about where each wins.
Choose dcomply if
- You need the full Indian regulator stack in one tenant, not just a trust-centre + privacy.
- You want hash-chained EvidenceChain evidence under DPDP S.8(9) rather than an advisory sign-off.
- You want a Managed DPO retainer bundled from Rs 29,999/mo, not just advisory on top of a product.
- You want published INR pricing on a page rather than a sales conversation.
- You want to be live within an hour of signup, not weeks of advisory onboarding.
dcomply fits buyers who want self-serve platform + vDPO + full Indian regulator stack with published INR pricing.
Choose GoTrust if
- You specifically want an advisory layer bundled with the platform and prefer that to self-serve.
- A trust-centre page for inbound procurement is your lead pain and nothing adjacent matters.
GoTrust fits buyers who value a bundled advisory layer and a trust-centre surface for procurement.
Narrower module scope - sectoral regulators (RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, CERT-In, GST, Labour, POSH, RERA) are not covered. Hash-chained evidence is not the lead story. No published INR pricing. Advisory layer can slow time-to-first-productive-use. If those are what you need most, take that seriously.
Questions we hear about this pairing.
Both are India-native. GoTrust leads with trust-centre + advisory; the DPDP coverage is one layer. dcomply leads with full-platform coverage across DPDP + RBI + SEBI + IRDAI + CERT-In + GST + Labour + POSH + RERA, with vDPO bundled.
GoTrust focuses on privacy + trust centre. India sectoral regulators (RBI Cybersecurity Framework, SEBI CSCRF, IRDAI Cyber Framework, CERT-In 6-hour reporting) are not native modules. dcomply ships them all.
dcomply writes every consent event to SHA-256 hash-chained EvidenceChain, independently rehashable against the DPBI export bundle. Published at dcomply.in/proof. Not an advisory sign-off; cryptographic.
GoTrust is sales-led. dcomply publishes INR pricing: Readiness Rs 49,999 one-time, Implementation from Rs 2,99,999, Managed retainer from Rs 29,999/mo.
Yes. Many customers keep an existing trust-centre + advisory relationship and layer dcomply underneath for the full compliance platform + vDPO. We integrate via standard APIs.
You specifically want the bundled advisory and the trust-centre surface, and sectoral regulators + sector-specific modules are not relevant to your business.
