DPDPA CMS vs Consentin
Updated 6 October 2026
Both can run on your own servers. The difference is the bill: Consentin's on-premises edition is an annual fee that rises with profiles and connectors, while DPDPA CMS is a one-time setup fee plus support.

Why choose DPDPA CMS over Consentin
- You pay once for the deployment rather than an annual fee per profile and connector.
- Personal data and consent records never leave your environment. No additional third party holds data about people in India, so there is nothing new to add to your sub-processor list, your cross-border assessment or your breach exposure.
- It runs under the security you already operate: your identity and access management, your network controls, your logging, your backups, your audits.
- The cost does not grow with you. Subscription tools are priced on users, data principals, visitors or consent volumes, so the largest organisations pay the most. DPDPA CMS is a one-time setup fee plus support.
- Vendor-risk review is shorter, because the vendor never hosts, sees or processes your data.
- It is built around the DPDPA itself, from itemised notices and consent withdrawal to rights requests, nomination and grievance redressal, rather than configured from a global template.
- You can run it in your own environment for three months before paying anything.
This holds at any size. The larger the organisation, the more personal data it holds, and the more it gains from keeping that data in-house and from a cost that does not scale with volume.
