Amabrik's cookie consent widget is a worldwide-compliant CMP (GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss nLPD, CCPA, CPRA, LGPD, Consent Mode v2, GPC) on one flat plan, with no subpage scan caps and no per-domain metering. It's one of 10 widgets included on every plan, not a metered standalone product.
The differences that decide your bill as your site grows, and whether trackers ever break.
Cookiebot prices by how many subpages its crawler finds, billed per domain, and a scheduled scan that discovers new pages can bump a domain into a higher tier with no action from you. Amabrik charges one flat price per number of sites. Add pages or traffic freely; your bill doesn't move.
Cookiebot auto-blocks scripts it guesses are trackers, which can stop legitimate scripts and break pages. Amabrik gates the trackers you declare in the widget. That's more reliable than guessing, and it never silently breaks forms, payments, or embeds.
Cookiebot is a consent product only. Amabrik's consent banner ships with banner, popup, forms, AI chatbot, reviews, social feeds, social proof, bookings, and a chat button, plus a Security scan and an SEO/AEO scan, all on every plan.
Cookiebot's Free tier carries a 'Powered by Usercentrics' badge, and removing it is a paid feature. Amabrik shows no Powered-by badge on any plan, including the $29 Starter, so there's no logo or link on your banner.
Amabrik keeps a 13-month consent log with CSV export and stores no raw IP, with Google Consent Mode v2 and Global Privacy Control built in. Worldwide rules are covered: GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss nLPD, CCPA, CPRA, and LGPD, on every plan.
Amabrik ships a loader under 5 KB, code-split and lazy-loaded, with heavy widgets in their own frame and full RTL support. The consent banner loads first so visitors get a choice before anything else runs.

Amabrik never counts pages. Cookiebot prices by the subpages its crawler finds, per domain, and a re-scan can bump you up.
Flat per site. No page or domain metering.
$29per month, or $23 billed annually. One site, every widget, both scanners, unlimited subpages.
Per domain. Metered by subpage count.
€7Lite (50 subpages, 1 domain), then €30 to €90 per domain as subpages climb (€15/domain only at 4+ domains). The free tier carries branding.
Cookiebot's Free tier and €7 Lite cover a single small site under 50 subpages. As a site grows past 350, 3,500, or 7,000 subpages, or you run several domains, the per-domain tiers climb (€30, €50, €90 each), and a scan can move you up on its own. Amabrik stays one flat price with no page counting, and bundles 9 other widgets and 2 scanners, so for most sites it's the better choice. See Amabrik pricing.
The same flat plan that runs your cookie banner also includes every other Amabrik widget, dropped in with one snippet.
Amabrik runs on a 7-day free trial with no credit card, then paid plans start at $29/mo ($23/mo billed annually), and the cookie consent widget never meters subpages or pageviews. Amabrik doesn't have a forever-free tier. Cookiebot does offer a genuinely free tier, but it caps you at 50 subpages on 1 domain in 1 language and shows a 'Powered by Usercentrics' badge that only a paid plan removes. So the trade is: Cookiebot free with a hard subpage cap and branding, or Amabrik with no caps and no badge after a 7-day trial.
Switch if you want flat pricing with no subpage or per-domain metering, no Powered-by badge on any plan, and a consent banner that ships alongside 9 other widgets and 2 scanners. Cookiebot is a certified standalone CMP, but it prices by the subpages its crawler finds, bills each domain separately, and a scheduled scan can bump you into a higher tier on its own. Amabrik declares trackers instead of auto-blocking them (which doesn't break legitimate scripts), keeps a 13-month consent log with no raw IP, and stays one flat price as your site grows, so for most sites Amabrik is the better choice.
It depends on your site size and how many domains you run. Cookiebot's Free tier and €7 Lite are cheaper for a single small site under 50 subpages. As a site passes 350, 3,500, or 7,000 subpages, Cookiebot steps up to €30, €50, then €90 per domain (a €15-per-domain Small tier exists only for accounts with 4 or more domains), billed per domain with no multi-site discount, and a re-scan can move you up automatically. Amabrik stays one flat price (from $29/mo for one site) with unlimited subpages, no per-domain metering, and 9 other widgets included.
No, and that's deliberate. Cookiebot crawls your domain, detects cookies, and auto-blocks scripts it judges to be trackers until consent. That keeps the cookie declaration current, but guessing at scripts can break legitimate ones. Amabrik gates the trackers you declare in the widget. Declaring is more reliable than guessing, and it never silently breaks forms, payments, or embeds. The trade-off is that you maintain your tracker list rather than relying on a crawler to find it.
Yes. Amabrik's cookie consent widget is a worldwide-compliant CMP covering GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss nLPD, CCPA, CPRA, and LGPD, with Google Consent Mode v2 and Global Privacy Control for US visitors. It keeps a 13-month consent log with CSV export and stores no raw IP, so you have proof of consent without holding sensitive visitor data. This is on every Amabrik plan, with no separate compliance add-on.
Cookiebot meters by subpages: it prices by the number of unique subpages its crawler finds on a domain, and it bills each domain on its own tier with no multi-domain bundle discount. The tiers step up by subpage count (about 50, 350, 3,500, 7,000, and 7,000+), and a scheduled scan that discovers new pages can push a domain into a higher tier without any action from you. Amabrik does not count subpages or pageviews at all; it charges a flat price per number of sites.
Yes, by recreating your consent banner in Amabrik and swapping the snippet. There's no automatic Cookiebot importer, but the Amabrik cookie widget starts from templates and a guided editor, so you set your regions, languages, and the trackers you want gated, then replace the Cookiebot script with the Amabrik one in the same spot. Because Amabrik gates declared trackers rather than auto-blocking, you list your trackers once during setup instead of relying on a crawler.
No. Amabrik shows no Powered-by badge on any plan, including the $29 Starter, so there's no logo, link, or footer mention on your consent banner. Cookiebot's Free tier carries a 'Powered by Usercentrics' badge, and removing it is a paid-plan feature (free users can only hide it with custom CSS workarounds).
Every Amabrik plan includes 10 widgets: cookie consent, banner, popup, forms, AI chatbot, reviews, social feeds, social proof, bookings, and a chat button. Each plan also includes both scanners, a Security scan and an SEO/AEO scan, each finding with a copy-paste fix prompt for Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor. Plans differ only by the number of sites: 1, 10, or 50. Cookiebot is a consent management product only.
The only visitor data Amabrik stores is cookie-consent records, kept for GDPR proof in a 13-month log with CSV export and no raw IP. Leads from the forms, email-capture, and chatbot widgets are a pure pass-through: they forward straight to your connected CRM, email tool, or webhook the instant they land, and Amabrik never stores, logs, or sells them. There's no submissions table on Amabrik's side.
Cookiebot is a dedicated CMP and part of Usercentrics, with a formal CMP certification, which matters mainly to enterprises that require that specific paperwork. For most sites, what counts is the actual compliance, and Amabrik's cookie consent widget covers the same worldwide regulations (GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss nLPD, CCPA, CPRA, LGPD, Consent Mode v2, GPC) with a 13-month no-raw-IP consent log, plus 9 other widgets and 2 scanners on one flat plan. For most sites Amabrik is the better choice.
