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.; DISCO per-gigabyte pricing that is attractive on a 200 gigabyte matter becomes the dominant line item on multi-terabyte collections, and the only cost lever left is aggressive culling before upload.
- They diverge on capability: Cookiebot covers Automated cookie scanning, DISCO covers All-in per-gigabyte pricing.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

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.
DISCO
- Per-gigabyte pricing that is attractive on a 200 gigabyte matter becomes the dominant line item on multi-terabyte collections, and the only cost lever left is aggressive culling before upload.
- Hosting is cloud only in United States regions, so matters with European, United Kingdom or Australian data residency requirements are excluded outright.
- Review analytics, scripting and the third-party application ecosystem remain deeper on Relativity, which matters for firms with established review workflows.
- As a listed company reporting losses, it has been through leadership change including the founder departure in 2023, so multi-year roadmap commitments carry more risk than with a private vendor.
- Complex productions and unusual data types still require professional services, so the promise of self-service holds mainly for mainstream email and document collections.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Cookiebot: Who owns Cookiebot?
Usercentrics, which acquired the Danish developer Cybot in September 2021. It is sold as Cookiebot by Usercentrics alongside the separate Usercentrics Web CMP.
DISCO: How is DISCO priced?
Per gigabyte of hosted data per month, all-in, with unlimited users. There is no published rate card, so it is quoted.
Cookiebot: What does a real deployment cost?
Between 7 and 90 euros per domain per month depending on subpage count. Ten domains on the medium band is 300 euros a month, not 7.
DISCO: Can data be hosted outside the United States?
Coverage is centred on United States cloud regions, so confirm residency before shortlisting for European or Australian matters.
Cookiebot: Does it support Google Consent Mode v2?
Yes, and Cookiebot is in Google CMP partner programme, which matters if you run Google advertising into the EEA.
DISCO: Is it cheaper than Relativity?
On small and mid-sized matters usually yes, because seats and analytics are included. On very large collections the volume charge often overtakes a negotiated Relativity arrangement.
Cookiebot: Is the free plan usable in production?
Only for a single very small site. It caps at one domain and 50 subpages and shows Cookiebot branding on the banner.
