What It Is

ExpressConsent is a consent-evidence platform built for TCPA compliance, with its core output being the Certified Digital Record (CDR). It is not a general-purpose CMP; instead, it focuses on recording what a user actually saw when submitting a form, including the page, disclosure text, timestamp, domain, IP address, device, and related metadata. Through signatures, hashes, and third-party custodian attestations, it turns these records into searchable and exportable evidence.

Core Capabilities

The integration is fairly developer-friendly: add the asynchronous SDK to a webpage and call captureCDR() on submission to receive a cdrId. In the dashboard, records can be searched by phone number, email, date, domain, and custom metadata. It supports PDF export, offline hash verification, share links, access for lead buyers, and Package CDR for multi-step co-registration funnels. The API covers workflows such as reading records, collect payments, and sharing, and Webhooks are also supported.

Pricing and Trial

The official website states that pricing is based on CDRs/snapshots under monthly contracts. Each record includes 5 years of storage, unlimited searches, and unlimited partner sharing, with monthly cancellation available. However, specific unit pricing is not publicly disclosed, so users need to contact sales. The site mentions a 30-day free trial, but does not specify usage limits, feature restrictions, or whether a credit card is required.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a focused use case and comprehensive evidence fields, making it suitable for quickly producing documentation during audits, complaints, or litigation. The SDK is lightweight, and it supports sharing between lead sellers and buyers, as well as configurable payment responsibility. The downsides are that public pricing is not transparent, the product is mainly centered on the U.S. TCPA, and there is no visible explanation of support for Chinese local regulations, cross-border data handling, SOC 2, or ISO 27001 certifications. The Package CDR API also does not appear to be fully open yet.

Best Fit and Access from China

ExpressConsent is best suited for U.S.-focused lead generation, lending, insurance, mortgage, home improvement, and other businesses that rely on phone, SMS, or email marketing, as well as lead buyers and legal/compliance teams. Chinese users serving the U.S. market may consider evaluating it. If the main use case is compliance with China’s personal information protection requirements, local e-signature, evidence preservation, and compliance management solutions should be compared first. There is no reliable public information on access performance from China, and payment methods are not disclosed. Before deployment, users should test connectivity, contract terms, payment options, and data export requirements.
