The short version

  • Only Cookiebot has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Cookiebot pricing is per domain and banded by subpage count, so an organisation with many brand domains or a large content site pays many multiples of the 7 euro headline, and the bands are counted from the scan rather than from what you think you publish.; Didomi pricing is based on monthly unique visitors and is not published, so a large publisher cannot estimate cost before entering a sales process, and traffic spikes translate directly into billing surprises.
  • They diverge on capability: Cookiebot covers Automated cookie scanning, Didomi covers Google CMP certification.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Cookiebot

  • Pricing is per domain and banded by subpage count, so an organisation with many brand domains or a large content site pays many multiples of the 7 euro headline, and the bands are counted from the scan rather than from what you think you publish.
  • Enterprise features such as single sign-on, banner A and B testing and a dedicated account manager sit on Usercentrics Web CMP rather than on Cookiebot, so growing out of Cookiebot means migrating to a sibling product with its own dashboard and contract.
  • Prior blocking depends on Cookiebot recognising the script, and custom or first-party tags frequently need manual tagging, which means a site can believe it is blocking trackers when it is not until someone audits it.
  • Scans crawl a limited number of subpages per band, so trackers that only appear on deep or gated pages can go undiscovered and unblocked between scans.
  • The free tier carries Cookiebot branding and is limited to one domain and 50 subpages, which makes it a demonstration rather than a workable option for anything but a brochure site.

Didomi

  • Pricing is based on monthly unique visitors and is not published, so a large publisher cannot estimate cost before entering a sales process, and traffic spikes translate directly into billing surprises.
  • Consent banners depress measurable traffic by design, and Didomi cannot prevent that, so publishers moving from a non-compliant banner should expect an immediate drop in tracked users and attributable conversions.
  • Certification is a moving target: Google and IAB update requirements periodically and each version change forces integration work on your side, not only on the vendor's.
  • Connected TV consent collection depends on the app platform and remote control interface, and implementations are considerably more involved than a web banner, often requiring per-platform development.
  • The wider privacy suite beyond consent is thinner than dedicated privacy platforms, so an organisation needing data subject rights automation and data mapping usually buys a second vendor anyway.
