Osano

Consent management and data privacy platform with a published self-serve tier

As of 31 August 2026, Osano has a free plan and paid plans start at $199/month. A consent management platform that publishes real prices for its cookie banner up to a visitor ceiling, then moves everything else to a sales conversation. Softwr lists it under Cybersecurity. Osano is made by Osano, Inc., available on Web.

Overview

What Osano does

Osano is a privacy platform built around consent management. It serves cookie and tracking consent banners with regional rule sets for GDPR, ePrivacy, CPRA and the other US state laws, blocks tags before consent, maintains a consent record, and adds subject rights request handling, data mapping, vendor privacy monitoring and assessment workflow in its higher tiers. The company is based in Austin, Texas. The distinguishing thing is commercial rather than technical: Osano offers a no fines guarantee, contractually indemnifying customers against privacy penalties arising from correct use of the consent platform, up to defined limits. Very few vendors in this category will put money behind their own compliance claim, and for a privacy counsel evaluating three near identical banners it is the argument that changes the shortlist. Read the limits and the exclusions before treating it as insurance, because it is bounded and conditional on configuration. The second commercial point is pricing shape. Osano publishes a free tier at one domain, one user and 5,000 monthly visitors, and a paid self-serve tier from around 199 US dollars a month covering a few domains and around 30,000 monthly visitors. Past that ceiling, pricing leaves the website entirely and becomes a quote, and the privacy modules beyond consent were never priced publicly at all. Buyers are typically privacy or marketing operations at mid market companies; the trade off is that the visitor ceilings are low enough that any consumer facing site of real traffic is a quoted enterprise deal, and the published price is best read as an anchor rather than what you will pay.

What people use it for

A mid market company selling into the EU and California that needs one banner honouring different consent rules by visitor region
A privacy counsel who wants a vendor that will contractually stand behind its consent product rather than disclaim all liability
A marketing team that needs Google Consent Mode signals wired correctly so analytics and ads degrade rather than break when consent is refused
A company with a handful of brand domains wanting one consent record and one scanning schedule across all of them

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Osano.

The published visitor ceilings are low, with the paid self-serve tier stopping around 30,000 monthly visitors, so any consumer facing site with real traffic leaves published pricing immediately and negotiates a quote with no public anchor.
The no fines guarantee is bounded and conditional on configuring the product as instructed, so it is a marketing differentiator with an indemnity cap rather than the insurance policy the name suggests, and the limits should be read before it influences a decision.
Everything beyond consent, including subject rights automation, data mapping and vendor monitoring, is enterprise quoted, so the transparent pricing that attracts buyers covers only the cheapest part of the platform.
Tag blocking depends on tags being loaded through the mechanisms Osano can intercept, and marketing teams that inject scripts directly into templates or through server side tagging routinely leak trackers past the banner without anyone noticing.
It is a privacy platform rather than a security compliance one, so organisations that also need SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence collection run it alongside a separate tool and duplicate parts of the vendor and asset inventory.

Answered, with sources

Questions people ask

Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.

Does the free tier include the no fines guarantee?

No. The guarantee attaches to paid use of the consent product, and the free tier is capped at one domain and 5,000 monthly visitors.

How is Osano priced?

By monthly website visitors, number of domains and tier. The self-serve path stops at a low visitor ceiling and everything above is quoted.

Can it handle US state privacy laws as well as GDPR?

Yes, with region aware rule sets covering GDPR, ePrivacy and the US state regimes, so an EU visitor sees an opt-in banner and a US visitor sees the applicable opt-out.

Does Osano do subject access requests?

Yes, but in the enterprise tier rather than the published plans, and it is quoted separately from consent.
