Strac alternative: a platform to scope, or browser DLP to switch on
Strac covers a lot of ground: DLP inside SaaS apps such as Slack, Google Drive, Gmail and Zendesk, discovery of sensitive data already at rest, endpoints, AI tools and a browser extension, with machine-learning and OCR detection behind it. The price is a quote that follows a scoping call. If you are weighing Strac alternatives, the question is how much of that ground your leaks actually cross.

A Strac alternative for the browser, without the platform
Strac is priced on what you protect: surfaces, integrations, the people in scope. That is the right shape for a company protecting SaaS, cloud and endpoints at once. If the leaks that worry you happen in a browser — an export uploaded to a free converter, a key pasted into a forum, an installer downloaded from a site nobody approved — Capsulla covers exactly that, at one price for the whole company, switched on from Google Admin in an afternoon.
Patterns you can read, drafted from a sentence
Strac pairs machine-learning detectors with regex rules you write yourself. Capsulla uses no model to detect anything: every rule is a pattern, a label and an action you can read and explain to the person it stopped, and Generate with AI drafts the pattern from a sentence, so nobody has to write the regex.
Worth knowing
- Strac's public pages describe machine-learning and OCR detection but do not say where browser content is inspected. Capsulla's checks run in the browser, and the text never leaves the device.
- Capsulla covers Chrome on managed browsers. Data at rest, email and desktop apps are outside it.
- Details for other products come from their own published pages. They change — if something here is out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
