- you want court record and eFIR checks in the same platform as identity verification, video KYC and business due diligence
- you want a self-serve background verification signup and a developer portal (API Central)
- you already run IDfy and the cost of switching a working integration outweighs the access gains

Skip it if you need a public MCP server or published prices: these were not found for IDfy in this review.

### Choose eCourtsIndia if

- you want an AI agent or internal tool to run checks through a public MCP server with OAuth sign-in
- you want LegalCheck, a litigation background check on a person or company across courts and tribunals, with most reports ready in 1 to 3 minutes, at INR 99 on pay as you go or INR 33 with an active subscription

- you want electoral roll search by name, relative name, EPIC, age, gender and location, or a lookup by EPIC number, through the same API
- you want the underlying case record, order text and hearing history from the same API as the check
