The short version
- Only Secure Privacy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: iubenda plans are metered by monthly pageviews, so a single viral article can push a site two tiers up mid-year and the cost is driven by traffic rather than by revenue.; 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: iubenda covers Privacy and cookie policy generator, 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.
iubenda
- Plans are metered by monthly pageviews, so a single viral article can push a site two tiers up mid-year and the cost is driven by traffic rather than by revenue.
- Generated policies are templates from a clause library, so unusual data processing, complex international transfers or sector-specific rules are not covered and still need a lawyer.
- It addresses the public-facing compliance surface only, with no data discovery, vendor risk assessment or data subject request automation, so a growing company will need a second platform.
- The accessibility product is delivered through a partner and priced separately, and overlay widgets of that kind are contested as an accessibility solution, so buying it does not remove legal exposure.
- Support is largely documentation and ticket based at the lower tiers, which is a poor match for an urgent regulatory query where the answer is needed the same day.
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
iubenda: Is iubenda a certified consent platform?
Yes. It is an IAB-validated CMP supporting TCF 2.2 and a Google-certified CMP partner with Consent Mode built in.
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.
iubenda: What does it cost?
Prices are published: 59.88 euros a year for up to 25,000 monthly pageviews, 239.88 for 50,000 and 959.88 for 150,000.
Secure Privacy: Is the free plan usable?
For evaluation only. It caps at 500 consents a month and does not include automatic cookie blocking.
iubenda: Do the generated policies make me compliant?
They cover the disclosure obligations for common processing. Unusual processing, international transfers or sector rules still need legal advice.
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.
iubenda: Does it handle data subject access requests?
Not in the way a dedicated privacy platform does. It is focused on policies, consent and processing records.
Secure Privacy: Can it replace OneTrust?
For website consent and simple request handling, yes. For data discovery, records of processing and vendor risk, no.
