The iubenda Alternative: Consentfolio (2026 Comparison)
Consentfolio is a focused cookie banner and consent-records tool that works as an iubenda alternative for teams that want flat per-domain pricing and do not need iubenda's bundled legal documents. Both block trackers until consent and support Google Consent Mode v2. The main difference: iubenda also generates your privacy and cookie policies and scans your site, while Consentfolio handles the banner and the consent records and leaves policy drafting to you.

How the products differ
iubenda is a broad compliance suite. Alongside the cookie banner it drafts your privacy policy and cookie policy, scans your site, and serves the banner in many languages. It prices each site by pageviews, from $5.99 a month for 25,000 pageviews up to $99.99 for 150,000, and the headline figures assume yearly billing.
Consentfolio is narrower on purpose. It runs the banner, blocks trackers until consent, and keeps provable consent records you can export per domain. It does not draft policies or scan your site. It prices each domain by monthly users at a flat £9 to £49, with no pageview limit inside your band.
When iubenda is the better choice
iubenda fits better if you want any of these:
- Generated legal documents. iubenda drafts your privacy and cookie policies. Consentfolio does not, so you write or source those yourself.
- Automatic cookie scanning. iubenda crawls your site on a schedule. Consentfolio does not scan yet.
- Multilingual banners. iubenda serves the banner in many languages. Consentfolio is single-language at present.
When Consentfolio fits
Consentfolio suits sites and agencies that want:
- Flat per-domain pricing by users, rather than per-site pricing by pageviews.
- 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.
- A focused tool without a bundled policy generator you may not need.
Frequently asked questions
Is Consentfolio cheaper than iubenda? It depends on how you count traffic and whether you need iubenda's policy generation. iubenda's Essentials is $5.99 per site for 25,000 pageviews on yearly billing. Consentfolio is £9 per domain for up to 100,000 users. If you only need the banner and records, Consentfolio's flat price often works out simpler.
Can I switch from iubenda to Consentfolio? Yes for the banner and records. Replace the iubenda script with the Consentfolio tag. If you rely on iubenda's generated policies, keep those or source them elsewhere, because Consentfolio does not generate policies.
Does Consentfolio write my cookie policy like iubenda? No. Consentfolio runs the banner and records consent. You provide your own privacy and cookie policy.
