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 IDfy if
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 Signzy if
you want identity, KYC, KYB, UBO and AML checks in one onboarding stack, with criminal records among them
you want regional stacks outside India from the same vendor
you prefer a quote or subscription contract to prepaid per-call credits
Skip it if you need a public MCP server, published prices or self-serve sign-up: these were not found for Signzy 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 to see prices and start with ₹200 free credit before talking to anyone
you want to run court record checks on a person or company through a documented API instead of a sales-led workflow
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.
