• WPLP vs. Cookiebot •
Both Block Cookies. Only One Charges by Page Count.
Cookiebot prices each domain by how many pages its scanner finds. WPLP charges one flat price for a set number of sites. It also writes your privacy policy, terms, and 30+ other legal pages, and logs consent in your own WordPress database.
WPLP vs. Cookiebot in 30 seconds
Cookiebot is a consent management platform from Usercentrics. It works on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, and more, and adds Microsoft and Amazon ad consent signals on its paid plans. You pay per domain, and the price goes up as your page count grows.
WPLP Compliance Platform is built for WordPress. One plan covers cookie consent and legal pages, from $8/month for up to 3 sites. The free plan logs consent, takes data requests, shows the banner in 50+ languages, and publishes 4 legal pages.
Running one small site? Both work. Running 10 client sites, or need a privacy policy and terms too? WPLP costs less and does both jobs.

How Each tool works
WPLP Compliance Platform
- Two WordPress plugins: WPLP Cookie Consent and WPLP Legal Pages. Settings live in wp-admin.
- Consent records save to your site’s WordPress database, and sync to the WPLP web app.
- Legal pages publish as normal WordPress pages.
- The web app at app.wplegalpages.com shows every site on your plan from one login.
Cookiebot
- A cloud service. The WordPress plugin connects your site to your Cookiebot account, and the banner loads from Cookiebot’s servers.
- Consent records save to Cookiebot’s consent log database, kept for up to 12 months.
- Cookiebot’s scanner crawls each domain every month, counts subpages, and sets your plan tier.
- Settings live in the Cookiebot web manager, not in wp-admin.
Pricing Side by Side
Both have a free plan for 1 site. WPLP charges by the number of sites on your plan. Cookiebot charges per domain, and the plan for each domain depends on how many subpages its scanner finds. If the scanner finds more pages, your plan moves up a tier at the end of the billing cycle.

Pros And Cons
WPLP Pros
- Flat price by site count. $28/month covers 25 sites, however many pages they have.
- Cookie consent and 30+ legal page templates on one plan.
- Consent logs, data requests, 50+ languages, and A/B testing on the free plan.
- Consent records stay in your own WordPress database, with a synced copy in the WPLP web app.
- Web app and multi-site management on every plan.
WPLP Cons
- Smaller install base than Cookiebot.
- WordPress only.
- No Microsoft UET Consent Mode, Amazon Consent Signal, or cross-domain consent sharing. [verify against the latest WPLP release]
- IAB TCF v2.3, geo-targeting, and cookie policy templates need a paid plan.
Cookiebot Pros
- Backed by Usercentrics. Cookiebot says it runs on 2.4M websites and apps.
- 100,000+ installs on WordPress.org.
- Google Consent Mode v2 on the free plan. Microsoft UET Consent Mode and Amazon Consent Signal on paid plans.
- Works on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, HubSpot, and Umbraco.
- Cross-domain consent sharing and an opt-in/opt-out analytics dashboard on Premium.
Cookiebot Cons
- Priced per domain. Each subdomain counts as a separate domain.
- The plan moves up a tier when the scanner finds more subpages, so the price changes as your site grows.
- Free plan: 1 domain, 50 subpages, 1 language.
- No terms generator. Privacy policies need a separate Usercentrics tool.
- Branding removal and A/B testing are only in Usercentrics Advanced, which is quote-only.
- Consent records live on Cookiebot’s servers, not in your WordPress database.
Our Pick: WPLP
If you run WordPress sites, WPLP does more for less. One plan covers your cookie banner, privacy policy, and terms. The price depends on how many sites you have, not how many pages Cookiebot’s scanner counts. At 10 sites, that’s $12/month against $160/month.
Cookiebot is a mature platform with a big company behind it. It’s the better fit if you run sites on Shopify or Wix as well as WordPress, need Microsoft or Amazon ad consent signals, or want one consent choice to carry across several domains.
• Clear Answers •
FAQs answering objections
Is WPLP free like Cookiebot?
Yes. Both have a free plan for 1 site. Cookiebot’s free plan covers up to 50 subpages in 1 language. WPLP’s free plan scans up to 100 pages, and includes consent logs, a data request form, a 50+ language banner, 4 legal page templates, and the WPLP web app.
Does Cookiebot create a privacy policy?
Cookiebot makes a cookie declaration. Privacy policies come from the Usercentrics Privacy Policy Generator, a separate tool. We didn’t find a terms generator. WPLP Legal Pages creates a privacy policy and terms for free, and 30+ more templates on paid plans.
Which is cheaper?
For 1 small site (under 50 subpages), both start at $8/month. Past that, WPLP costs less. For 10 sites, WPLP Business is $12/month and Cookiebot is $160/month. For 25 sites, WPLP is $28/month and Cookiebot is $400/month. Cookiebot figures assume each site is under 350 subpages.
Why would my Cookiebot price change?
Cookiebot scans each domain every month and counts its subpages. If the count goes past your tier’s limit, your plan moves up a tier at the end of the billing cycle. WPLP prices don’t depend on page count.
Do both support IAB TCF v2.3 and Google Consent Mode v2?
Yes. Google Consent Mode v2 is free on both. IAB TCF v2.3 needs a paid plan on both.
Where is consent data stored?
WPLP stores consent records in your own WordPress database and syncs them to the WPLP web app. Cookiebot stores them in its own consent log database, and its banner loads from Cookiebot’s servers.
Does WPLP update my policies when a law changes?
Not yet. Auto-update policies is coming soon to WPLP paid plans. It will draft the change and wait for your approval before it publishes.
Can I switch from Cookiebot to WPLP?
Yes. Install the free WPLP plugins, run a cookie scan, publish your banner and legal pages, then remove the Cookiebot plugin. Your Cookiebot consent history doesn’t carry over. Export it from Cookiebot as CSV first if you need to keep it.
