Consent management and website privacy compliance priced per domain by monthly consent volume

From

Rated
-

The short version

  • Only Secure Privacy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Everlaw quote-only pricing, and ediscovery is typically billed on data volume, which makes costs hard to predict in advance; Secure Privacy consent allowances are the real constraint and they are per domain, so a high traffic site on the Business tier can burn through 50,000 consents well before month end and be pushed to a tier that costs more than four times as much.
  • They diverge on capability: Everlaw covers Document processing, Secure Privacy covers Cookie scanning.
  • 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.

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

Secure Privacy

  • Consent allowances are the real constraint and they are per domain, so a high traffic site on the Business tier can burn through 50,000 consents well before month end and be pushed to a tier that costs more than four times as much.
  • Billing is per domain, which makes multi-brand organisations and agencies pay linearly with domain count even when the configuration is identical across all of them.
  • There is no data discovery or records of processing at enterprise depth, so it documents website consent rather than a privacy programme, and organisations facing a regulator will still need something more.
  • Automatic cookie blocking is not available on the free tier, so the free plan cannot deliver the compliance behaviour that is the reason to install a consent tool in the first place.
  • Single sign-on and audit logs appear only on the 249 dollar Advanced tier, which puts basic enterprise access control behind a per-domain price that is punishing for anyone with more than a couple of sites.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

Secure Privacy: What is a consent, for billing purposes?

A recorded consent decision from a visitor. Because returning visitors can re-consent, consent counts do not map cleanly to unique visitors, and this is the most common source of unexpected tier upgrades.

Everlaw: What is ediscovery?

The process of identifying, collecting and reviewing electronic documents as evidence in litigation or investigation.

Secure Privacy: Is the free plan usable?

For evaluation only. It caps at 500 consents a month and does not include automatic cookie blocking.

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.

Secure Privacy: Does it handle data subject requests?

Yes, from the Business tier at 59 US dollars per domain per month. The Small tier does not include it.

Everlaw: Is Everlaw only for law firms?

No. Corporate legal departments and government agencies use it for investigations as well as litigation.

Secure Privacy: Can it replace OneTrust?

For website consent and simple request handling, yes. For data discovery, records of processing and vendor risk, no.
