Which one should you choose?

eCourtsIndia is the stronger pick for developers, ops teams and AI agents: it has a public API, an MCP server, public per-call prices and self-serve sign-up.

Choose eCourtsIndia if

  • you want to run court record checks on a person or company through a documented API instead of a sales-led workflow
  • you want an AI agent or internal tool to run checks through a public MCP server with OAuth sign-in
  • you want to see prices and start with ₹200 free credit before talking to anyone
  • you want LegalCheck, a litigation background check with a published price of ₹99 on pay as you go and ₹33 with an active subscription
  • you want the underlying case record, order text and hearing history available through the same API as the check

Skip it if you need a managed screening service that also verifies employment, education and address, or identity checks such as Aadhaar and face match: eCourtsIndia's published scope is court and litigation data.

Choose AuthBridge if

  • you want a background-verification and due-diligence firm to run employee and litigation checks for you as a managed service
  • you want a court record check that claims 5,000+ district court establishments, 18 high courts and the Supreme Court

Skip it if you need a public API, a public MCP server, published prices or self-serve sign-up: these were not found for AuthBridge in this review.
