The short version

  • Only Secure Privacy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: DISCO per-gigabyte pricing that is attractive on a 200 gigabyte matter becomes the dominant line item on multi-terabyte collections, and the only cost lever left is aggressive culling before upload.; Secure Privacy consent allowances are the real constraint and they are per domain, so a high traffic site on the Business tier can burn through 50,000 consents well before month end and be pushed to a tier that costs more than four times as much.
  • They diverge on capability: DISCO covers All-in per-gigabyte pricing, Secure Privacy covers Cookie scanning.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

DISCO

  • Per-gigabyte pricing that is attractive on a 200 gigabyte matter becomes the dominant line item on multi-terabyte collections, and the only cost lever left is aggressive culling before upload.
  • Hosting is cloud only in United States regions, so matters with European, United Kingdom or Australian data residency requirements are excluded outright.
  • Review analytics, scripting and the third-party application ecosystem remain deeper on Relativity, which matters for firms with established review workflows.
  • As a listed company reporting losses, it has been through leadership change including the founder departure in 2023, so multi-year roadmap commitments carry more risk than with a private vendor.
  • Complex productions and unusual data types still require professional services, so the promise of self-service holds mainly for mainstream email and document collections.

Secure Privacy

  • Consent allowances are the real constraint and they are per domain, so a high traffic site on the Business tier can burn through 50,000 consents well before month end and be pushed to a tier that costs more than four times as much.
  • Billing is per domain, which makes multi-brand organisations and agencies pay linearly with domain count even when the configuration is identical across all of them.
  • There is no data discovery or records of processing at enterprise depth, so it documents website consent rather than a privacy programme, and organisations facing a regulator will still need something more.
  • Automatic cookie blocking is not available on the free tier, so the free plan cannot deliver the compliance behaviour that is the reason to install a consent tool in the first place.
  • Single sign-on and audit logs appear only on the 249 dollar Advanced tier, which puts basic enterprise access control behind a per-domain price that is punishing for anyone with more than a couple of sites.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

DISCO: How is DISCO priced?

Per gigabyte of hosted data per month, all-in, with unlimited users. There is no published rate card, so it is quoted.

Secure Privacy: What is a consent, for billing purposes?

A recorded consent decision from a visitor. Because returning visitors can re-consent, consent counts do not map cleanly to unique visitors, and this is the most common source of unexpected tier upgrades.

DISCO: Can data be hosted outside the United States?

Coverage is centred on United States cloud regions, so confirm residency before shortlisting for European or Australian matters.

Secure Privacy: Is the free plan usable?

For evaluation only. It caps at 500 consents a month and does not include automatic cookie blocking.

DISCO: Is it cheaper than Relativity?

On small and mid-sized matters usually yes, because seats and analytics are included. On very large collections the volume charge often overtakes a negotiated Relativity arrangement.

Secure Privacy: Does it handle data subject requests?

Yes, from the Business tier at 59 US dollars per domain per month. The Small tier does not include it.

Secure Privacy: Can it replace OneTrust?

For website consent and simple request handling, yes. For data discovery, records of processing and vendor risk, no.
