How the two compare
Both platforms exist to help websites collect lawful consent. The day-to-day job is similar; what differs is the pricing model, the depth of enterprise features, and the developer experience.
Why teams move to GrantCookie
Transparent pricing
Plans published on the website. No seat fees, no per-cookie charges, no renewal surprises.
Fast to launch
Paste one script tag and the banner is live. No procurement cycle, no implementation services.
Modern, brand-friendly UI
A clean banner you can match to your brand in minutes, not a configuration deep-dive.
Honest about what we are
A focused consent platform. We do not promise enterprise governance we do not have — and you do not pay for it either.
Current frameworks
GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, IAB TCF v2.3 and Google Consent Mode v2, with more added as they take effect.
Free to start
A real free tier with no time limit. Try it properly, then scale when your traffic does.
