Cookiebot review

Cookiebot takes second place on the strength of its pricing model and its mature scanner. Instead of counting pageviews or sessions, it bills each domain by how many unique subpages it has, from Premium Lite for up to 50 subpages through Small, Medium, Large and XLarge tiers. Cookiebot states that it does not charge based on page views or usage, which makes it predictable for a small site with large traffic. The free plan covers one domain with up to 50 subpages and includes the initial scan and automated configuration. Premium tiers add a custom banner design with your logo, multi-domain handling, automated reporting, more than 47 banner languages and regional banner rules, and the product supports GDPR, ePrivacy, CCPA/CPRA and other US state laws plus Google Consent Mode. Every plan starts with a 14-day trial and no card. The tradeoff is that content-heavy sites with thousands of URLs climb tiers quickly, and we could not confirm US dollar prices from our location.

Who it is for

High-traffic sites with a modest number of pages that want consent pricing that does not rise with pageviews.
