When each is the right pick.
Scored by shape and fit. Honest about where each wins.
Choose dcomply if
- You need the full DPDP lifecycle (consent, DSR, breach, DPIA, retention), not just signed documents.
- You need RBI / SEBI / IRDAI / CERT-In / GST / Labour / POSH modules in the same tenant.
- You want hash-chained EvidenceChain across every regulated event, not just e-sign records.
- You want a Managed DPO retainer bundled from Rs 29,999/mo.
- You want to keep Leegality for e-sign and layer dcomply on top for the full compliance platform.
dcomply fits teams who need the full DPDP + sector-regulator + vDPO stack, with e-sign called out via connectors.
Choose Leegality if
- Your only pain is Aadhaar e-sign or document workflow and you already run a DPDP platform.
- You run heavy BFSI document workflows and already rely on Leegality integrations.
Leegality fits teams whose primary pain is e-signature + document workflow.
Not a DPDP compliance platform. Consent capture is at the signature level, not the lifecycle. DSR workflow, breach notification, DPIA, policy generation, retention schedules, sectoral regulator modules (RBI CSF, SEBI CSCRF, IRDAI, CERT-In, GST, Labour, POSH, RERA) are outside its scope. No vDPO service. If those are what you need most, take that seriously.
Questions we hear about this pairing.
No. Leegality is India's leading e-signature + document-workflow platform. DPDP consent lifecycle, DSR, breach, DPIA, retention and sectoral regulators are outside its scope. dcomply ships all of them.
Leegality captures signatures at the document level, which can include a consent artefact as part of signing. But DPDP consent is a lifecycle (grant, renew, withdraw, propagate) not a one-time signature. dcomply's Consent Management module handles the full lifecycle with hash-chained evidence.
80+ modules covering the full DPDP lifecycle + RBI / SEBI / IRDAI / CERT-In / GST / Labour / POSH / RERA sectoral modules + Managed DPO retainer + hash-chained EvidenceChain. Leegality is one surface (e-sign); dcomply is a platform.
Yes. Many BFSI customers keep Leegality for e-sign + document workflow and layer dcomply underneath for DPDP + sector regulators + vDPO. Integration is via standard APIs.
DSR portal (access/correction/erasure/grievance/nomination), breach notification (DPB 72h + CERT-In 6h), DPIA workflow, retention schedule enforcement, cross-border transfer register, published Grievance Officer, consent lifecycle (not just signatures) and sectoral regulator compliance.
Different categories. Leegality is per-signature; dcomply publishes INR platform pricing (Rs 49,999 one-time Readiness, Rs 29,999/mo Managed). For organisations that need both e-sign and DPDP, running both is standard.
