Which one should you choose?
IndiaCos 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 IndiaCos if
you want bank wilful and large defaulter entries, regulator debarments and exchange fines on the same company and director records
you want company, LLP, GST, director, charge and court case records through one key and one per-call price
you want AI agents to call company data through a public MCP server with OAuth and an agent sign-up flow
you want a flat ₹0.40 per successful call, with errors and not-found calls free, and ₹50 free credit before you pay
Skip it if you need audited financial statements or a fixed annual fee with a contract: IndiaCos is a prepaid per-call service built from public records, and its company master date differs by company.
Choose AuthBridge if
you want a managed background verification and due diligence service, not only data
you want a negative due diligence check that names Bureau, CIBIL, Equifax, CRIF High Mark, Experian, nationalised banks and a wilful defaulter list
you want employee and litigation checks from the same firm
Skip it if you need a public API reference, published prices or self-serve sign-up: these were not found for AuthBridge in this review.
Frequently asked questions
Which is better for defaulter and due diligence, IndiaCos or AuthBridge?
IndiaCos is the stronger choice for developers, ops teams and AI agents that need defaulter and due diligence by API: it has a public API, an MCP server, public per-call prices and self-serve sign-up. AuthBridge shows none of a public API, a public MCP server, published prices or self-serve sign-up. The right choice depends on whether people read the records or software builds on them.
Does AuthBridge have an API or an MCP server?
AuthBridge offers APIs on request alongside its managed services. No public MCP server was found for AuthBridge. IndiaCos offers a REST API at indiacos.com/api/v1 with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec and an MCP server at indiacos.com/mcp with OAuth 2.1 sign-in, and one prepaid wallet pays for both.
How much does AuthBridge cost compared with IndiaCos?
AuthBridge does not publish prices in this review. IndiaCos charges INR 0.40 per successful call, with errors and not-found calls free, INR 50 free credit and no subscription. Always check each provider's pricing page before you commit, since prices change.
Can an AI agent use AuthBridge or IndiaCos?
Yes, an AI agent can use IndiaCos: it runs a public MCP server with 25 tools covering companies, GST, directors, court cases and IP records. AuthBridge shows no public MCP server in this review, so an agent would need a custom wrapper around its API or sales-issued access. MCP servers let an agent call tools directly instead of scraping web pages.
When should you choose AuthBridge instead of IndiaCos?
Choose AuthBridge when you want a managed background verification and due diligence service, not only data. It is also a good fit when you want a negative due diligence check that names Bureau, CIBIL, Equifax, CRIF High Mark, Experian, nationalised banks and a wilful defaulter list. Choose IndiaCos less readily when you need audited financial statements or a fixed annual fee with a contract: IndiaCos is a prepaid per-call service built from public records, and its company master date differs by company.

IndiaCos covers 32,85,193 companies, 5,95,467 LLPs and 67,05,270 GST registrations, with directors, charges, court case summaries, 4,66,88,220 MSME records and 7,21,017 defaulter entries.
