Consentfolio The CookieYes Alternative: Consentfolio (2026 Comparison)
Consentfolio is a cookie banner and consent-records tool that works as a CookieYes alternative for teams that want flat per-domain pricing without pageview overage. Both block trackers until consent and support Google Consent Mode v2. Two honest differences: CookieYes automatically scans your cookies and Consentfolio does not, and CookieYes has a free tier while Consentfolio starts at £9 per domain.

How the pricing models differ
CookieYes prices each domain by monthly pageviews, with a page-scan limit on each tier. The free plan covers 100 pages per scan and 5,000 pageviews a month. Basic is $10 a month for 100,000 pageviews, Pro is $25 for 300,000, and Ultimate is $55 for unlimited pageviews. On Basic and Pro, traffic above the plan costs an extra $0.30 per 1,000 pageviews, so a busy month raises the bill.
Consentfolio prices each domain by monthly users, not pageviews: £9 up to 100,000, £24 up to 500,000, £49 above that. There is no overage, so the figure holds whatever the traffic does inside your band. One user usually generates several pageviews, so a user-based band and a pageview-based band are not the same measure. Read both against your own analytics before you compare the headline prices.
When CookieYes is the better choice
CookieYes fits better if you need any of these today:
- A free plan for a small site. CookieYes covers 5,000 pageviews a month at no cost. Consentfolio has no free plan.
- Automatic and scheduled cookie scanning. CookieYes crawls your site on a schedule. Consentfolio does not scan yet, so you declare cookies from templates.
- Geo-targeting. CookieYes can serve different banner behaviour by region on its Pro tier. Consentfolio serves one banner configuration per domain.
When Consentfolio fits
Consentfolio suits sites and agencies that want:
- Flat per-domain pricing with no pageview overage, so a traffic spike does not raise the bill.
- Exportable consent records per domain, ready to show the ICO. See how to prove cookie consent.
- Agency billing handoff: set up a client's banner, keep control, and let the client pay. See cookie consent for agencies.
- One script tag on any platform, no plugin.
