Custelis vs We360.ai
We360.ai is the closest philosophical match of any competitor we've reviewed: no mandatory screen recording, no keystroke logging, consent-first positioning. The honest comparison here isn't about defaults - it's about which DPDP Act mechanics are actually built into the product versus implied by "ethical" branding.
We360.ai's own site states plainly: "no mandatory screen recording, no keystroke logging," with deeper features enabling only "with employee consent notifications." That's real, and it's close to how Custelis is built. Where the two diverge is specificity: We360.ai's compliance story is general-purpose (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA) and consent-based, without the DPDP Act-specific machinery - a timed breach-notification workflow, a self-service data-principal rights portal - that a firm evaluating DPDP readiness specifically would need to verify exists somewhere.
Side by side
| Capability | Custelis | We360.ai |
|---|---|---|
| Keystroke logging | Never implemented, by design | Not offered, per their own site |
| Screen recording / screenshots | Off by default, active-only, capped at 60/hour when enabled | "No mandatory screen recording" - deeper capture enables via consent notification, specifics not published |
| Gate before enabling intrusive features | Requires an approved DPIA record, enforced in the product | Employee consent notification, not a documented impact-assessment requirement |
| Client-data access registry (per-employee, per-client) | Purpose-built for professional services firms | Not found - workforce analytics and cost intelligence, not client-engagement scoped |
| 72-hour DPDP breach notification workflow | Timed, generates the Board-report payload | Not found on their own site |
| Self-service data-principal rights (access/correct/erase) | Built in | Employees view collected data via personal dashboards; no published correction/erasure workflow |
| Pricing | Per employee/month, DLP + DPDP tooling included from Starter | Pro from ₹399/user/month; Pro+AI ₹599/user/month; Enterprise custom |

Where "ethical by default" and "DPDP-ready" actually diverge
Not capturing keystrokes or forcing screen recording is a real, meaningful default - and one Custelis shares. But DPDP readiness is more specific than good defaults: Section 6's 72-hour breach clock and the data-principal rights that Sections 11-14 describe (access, correction, erasure) are concrete mechanics, not general privacy posture. We360.ai's own marketing describes consent and dashboards, not those specific workflows - which doesn't mean they don't exist somewhere in the product, only that they aren't visible on the pages a buyer evaluating DPDP readiness would check first.
When We360.ai is the more defensible choice
If your firm's exposure is general workforce productivity and cost visibility rather than client-data-specific liability, We360.ai's lower entry price and broader analytics (cost intelligence tied to revenue per FTE, attrition-risk scoring) may fit better than a product built specifically around client-engagement data protection. Custelis doesn't compete on workforce-analytics breadth - it's narrower and more specific to the CA/audit/consulting risk profile by design.
The honest framing: both products avoid the most invasive defaults other vendors ship. The real question for a DPDP-focused buyer is which specific Act mechanics - not just "ethical" positioning - are actually running in the product you'd deploy.
