Cookiebot alternative: when it's worth switching
Per-domain prices make content tools expensive for agencies with many clients. We show when it's worth switching and which criteria really count.
Why agencies are looking for an alternative
Most consent tools charge per domain. Anyone managing 20, 50 or 100 client websites can easily end up paying several hundred euros a month — just for banners.
What’s more, privacy policy text and tracker scans are often separate products that incur additional costs. For agencies, growth thus becomes a cost trap.
What is important for an alternative
Four things are crucial: fair prices rather than a ‘per-domain’ trap, genuine blocking before the page loads, an automatic privacy policy, and a central dashboard for all customers.
- Pricing model — does the bill go up with every customer, or is there a fair fixed price?
- Genuine blocking — are trackers stopped before loading, or merely ‘managed’?
- Privacy policy included — or as an expensive extra?
- Multi-customer overview — all pages at a glance.
