checkDPDP is the friendliest front door in this market: a free scanner, a gap analysis, a penalty calculator and several generators, all free with no commitment. That is genuinely useful, and we would rather a business start there than do nothing. It also has a paid tier, so it is a real alternative and not only a diagnostic. Here is an honest look at where each one fits.

You are at the very start and want to know how exposed you are before spending anything. Run its free scan and gap analysis — that is a sensible first step whichever software you end up with.
You already know roughly where you stand and now need the ongoing work done — consent captured, notices served, customer requests answered, breach steps ready and records kept. Handling requests and breaches is what checkDPDP lists as coming soon, and what EasyDP does today.
They are enough to diagnose, not to comply. A free scanner tells you where the gaps are, which is a genuinely useful first step. What it does not do is the ongoing work the Act actually asks for — capturing consent as customers arrive, serving notices, answering data-principal requests within the timeline, handling a breach in the first 72 hours, and keeping records that stand up to scrutiny later. Start free, then move to something that runs day to day.
Its tools are free, and generously so — unlimited scans, a cookie consent manager and a notice generator on a ₹0 tier. It also has a paid Pro plan at ₹1,999 a month billed annually for up to five seats, which adds scheduled scans and consent logging. So it is both a free diagnostic and a paid product, depending on which tier you use.
Most businesses want both, in that order. A scanner answers “how bad is it?” in a few minutes. Software answers “how do I keep this right, every day, and prove it later?”. If you have already run a scan and know your gaps, what you need next is the system that closes them and keeps the record.
