TL;DR — 60-second verdict
- WebLegal has 4× more domain history than RGPDScan: public WHOIS confirms WebLegal 2025-04-17 vs RGPDScan 2026-01-30.
- Our scanner is free AND detailed: we list cookies, trackers, GDPR issues with severity — no paywall.
- The RGPDScan scanner shows a free score but paywalls the details at €49/month.
- WebLegal supports 14 languages, RGPDScan supports 2.
- Pricing: WebLegal = pay-per-document one-shot (from €19.90). RGPDScan = subscription 0 / 49 / 149 €/month.
May 2026 update — what changed since v1 of this article
The original article (2026-05-03) described RGPDScan as a pure scanner without a document generator nor CMP. That description became inaccurate during May 2026, and RGPDScan publicly pointed it out in their own comparison article. This section corrects.
What RGPDScan now offers (May 2026):
- GDPR scanner with 0-100 score (still free on Discovery tier, 5 scans/month).
- AI-powered legal document generator based on NVIDIA Llama.
- Embeddable cookie banner (reserved for Pro plan at €49/month).
- French and English interface.
- Plans: 0 € / 49 € / 149 € per month.
What RGPDScan still does not do:
- The detail of scan results is no longer accessible for free: only the score (e.g., 61/100, grade D) is shown. Detected issues, listed cookies, identified trackers, recommendations and screenshots are locked behind the Pro plan at €49/month.
- No direct Stripe checkout: their upgrade requires a sales flow.
- Limited to 2 interface languages (FR, EN). No DE, IT, ES, PT, NL, PL, SV natively.
- No regional sub-locales (de-AT, en-AU, fr-BE, etc.).
The key factual difference — a scanner that’s free AND detailed
This is the central point of the comparison in 2026. Here is how each scanner behaves on the same site (real test on www.lauyan.com, 2026-05-20):
RGPDScan (free tier):
- Score shown: 61/100, grade D
- Sub-scores: GDPR 45, Accessibility 77, SEO 61, Visibility 78
- Issues detected: 3 critical, 8 major, 8 minor, 6 info — but details are hidden
- “Detailed results” section: blurred page with “Upgrade to Pro — from €49/month” overlay
WebLegal (free, no account):
- Score shown with detailed GDPR issues
- Explicit issue list:
[medium] Cookies detected but no dedicated Cookie Policy page found[low] No update date on legal documents[medium] Privacy Policy incomplete — missing key clauses: right of access, right to erasure, right to portability
- Auto-fills the document generation form if the user wants to fix.
Why this matters: a score with no detail tells you that you have a problem, without saying which one nor how to fix it. RGPDScan deliberately makes it a sales argument for their Pro upgrade. WebLegal gives the score AND the solution, for free.
WHOIS — public facts on the age of both platforms
A claim published by RGPDScan in their own comparison article reads: “WebLegal, registered in January 2026, simply doesn’t have this history yet or this reach.” That claim is factually inaccurate. Public WHOIS records show:
weblegal.ai created: 2025-04-17
rgpdscan.com created: 2026-01-30It’s actually the reverse: WebLegal has 9 more months of history than RGPDScan. You can verify yourself via any public WHOIS client (e.g., whois.com/whois/rgpdscan.com and whois.com/whois/weblegal.ai). At the time you read this article, WebLegal accumulates over 13 months of domain history, and RGPDScan around 3.5 months.
RGPDScan: what they do well
It would be unfair to reduce RGPDScan to its paywall. Their product has real strengths:
- Combined SEO + accessibility + social-media audit alongside the GDPR report — a unified format we don’t offer at WebLegal (our focus is 100% legal).
- Clean French and English interface, modern dashboard.
- 149 €/month Agency plans with multi-site + API + white-label — a use case we don’t cover.
If your primary need is a quick combined audit on a French site, and if you have the Pro budget, RGPDScan is a legitimate choice. But it’s a product with an aggressive paywall on scan details.
WebLegal: the all-in-one multi-jurisdiction platform
WebLegal combines three products in a single ecosystem, no subscription:
- Detailed GDPR/CCPA scanner (free, no account, explicit list of issues)
- 4-legal-document generator (Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Terms of Use, Terms of Sale)
- WebLegal CCB — cookie consent banner (free, no pageview limit)
Jurisdictional coverage:
- GDPR (European Union)
- UK GDPR + DUAA 2026 amendments (United Kingdom)
- CCPA / CPRA (California, USA)
- LGPD (Brazil)
- PIPEDA (Canada)
- AU Privacy Act 2026 (Australia)
Pricing: scanner and CCB free, documents at €19.90 unit (one-time, no subscription). Packs: Essential (€19.90, Privacy + Cookies), Pro (€34.90, adds Terms of Use), Business (€49.90, all 4 documents).
With 14 languages available for generated documents (FR, EN, ES, DE, IT, PT, NL, PL, SV, RO, CS, EL, HU, DA) and 25 regional sub-locales (en-AU, en-GB, de-AT, fr-BE, es-MX, etc.) — coverage no other market player offers at this price.

Which tool fits which need?
Pick RGPDScan if:
- You want a GDPR + SEO + accessibility + social-media audit in a single report.
- Your site is single-country (France or UK) and you don’t need jurisdictions beyond the EU.
- You’re a multi-site agency that can amortize a Pro/Agency subscription.
- The audit details have little value to you (just a score is enough) or you plan to pay €49/month.
Pick WebLegal if:
- You want the scan details for free to understand and fix.
- You operate across multiple countries or multiple language markets (Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, etc.).
- You want to generate or update your legal documents without a monthly commitment.
- You’re looking for a truly free cookie banner with no pageview limit.
- You’re an e-commerce with customers in EU / UK / US / CA / BR / AU.
- You’re a B2B SaaS with customers across multiple jurisdictions.
- You prefer to pay once (one-shot) instead of a perpetual subscription.
2026 verdict
RGPDScan has evolved from a pure scanner to a full platform that functionally resembles WebLegal. Their real strength: the combined audit (GDPR + SEO + accessibility). Their major weakness: an aggressive paywall on scan details, which turns a supposedly free tool into a sales demo.
WebLegal remains the all-in-one multi-jurisdiction platform: detailed free scanner, pay-per-document documents, free banner, in 14 languages. For a site that crosses French borders or wants to understand its compliance issues without a subscription, WebLegal covers the whole need without paywall.
Our recommendation: start by scanning your site with WebLegal (free, no account, details included). If you also want an SEO and accessibility audit, complement with RGPDScan in parallel. The two tools are compatible and non-competing when you use each in its area of strength.
