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.; Everlaw quote-only pricing, and ediscovery is typically billed on data volume, which makes costs hard to predict in advance
- They diverge on capability: Cookiebot covers Automated cookie scanning, Everlaw covers Document processing.
- 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.
Everlaw
- Quote-only pricing, and ediscovery is typically billed on data volume, which makes costs hard to predict in advance
- Specialist product: outside litigation and investigations there is no use for it
- Predictive coding requires a properly trained review workflow, and poor input produces unreliable prioritisation
- Data volume charges can escalate sharply on large matters

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.
Everlaw: What does Everlaw cost?
Everlaw does not publish rates. Ediscovery is generally priced on data volume and users, which is why costs are quoted per matter or per organisation.
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.
Everlaw: What is ediscovery?
The process of identifying, collecting and reviewing electronic documents as evidence in litigation or investigation.
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.
Everlaw: What is predictive coding?
Machine learning trained on reviewer decisions to prioritise documents likely to be relevant, so a team reviews the important fraction rather than everything.
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.
Everlaw: Is Everlaw only for law firms?
No. Corporate legal departments and government agencies use it for investigations as well as litigation.
