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 pageview metering and no Powered-by badge. It's one of 10 widgets included on every plan, alongside a Security scan and an SEO/AEO scan, not a metered standalone product.
The same compliant consent job with no view metering, plus a full widget toolkit, against a certified consent-only CMP.
CookieYes prices per domain by monthly pageviews. Basic caps at 100,000 and Pro at 300,000, then charges $0.30 per 1,000 extra views, so a traffic spike pushes your bill above the base price. The free tier is a hard cap: at 5,000 monthly views the banner stops displaying until the next cycle. Amabrik charges one flat price per number of sites. Add traffic freely, the bill never moves, and the banner never switches off.
CookieYes is a CMP and nothing else. 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. Stacking separate tools for forms, popups, and chat costs more than one flat Amabrik bill.
CookieYes auto-scans and auto-blocks cookies, which keeps the list current but can misclassify common cookies and break legitimate scripts. Amabrik gates the trackers you declare in the widget. That never silently breaks forms or payments, so the consent you set keeps doing its job. For most sites that reliability is why Amabrik is the better choice.
CookieYes shows its branding on Free, Basic, and Pro. Removing the badge needs the $55/domain Ultimate plan. 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. GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss nLPD, CCPA, CPRA, and LGPD are covered on every plan.
CookieYes bills per domain, so four sites means four subscriptions. Amabrik's Business plan covers 10 sites for $59/mo and Agency covers 50 for $159/mo, every widget and both scanners included, with no per-domain stacking.
Every row is a concrete fact. CookieYes figures verified as of June 2026.

CookieYes does consent only. Amabrik gives you cookie consent plus nine more widgets and two scanners from one snippet, with no Powered-by badge.
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 pageviews. Amabrik doesn't have a forever-free tier. CookieYes does offer a genuine free tier, but it caps you at 5,000 monthly pageviews on 1 domain and shows CookieYes branding, and at 5,000 views the banner stops displaying until the next billing cycle. So the trade is: CookieYes free with a hard view cap and branding, or Amabrik with no caps and no badge after a 7-day trial.
Switch if you want flat pricing with no pageview metering or overage, no Powered-by badge on any plan, and a consent banner that ships alongside 9 other widgets and 2 scanners. CookieYes is an affordable, certified CMP, but it's consent-only, prices per domain by pageviews ($0.30 per 1,000 over the cap on Basic and Pro), and reserves geo-targeting and badge removal for higher tiers. 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 traffic grows. For most sites Amabrik is the better choice.
It depends on your traffic and how many sites you run. CookieYes's free tier and $10/domain Basic are cheaper for a single small site under the view caps. As traffic passes 100,000 or 300,000 monthly views, CookieYes adds $0.30 per 1,000 extra views on Basic and Pro, and each domain is billed separately with no multi-site discount, so four sites means four subscriptions. Amabrik stays one flat price (from $29/mo for one site, $59/mo for 10 sites, $159/mo for 50) with unlimited pageviews and 9 other widgets included.
No, and that's a deliberate trade. CookieYes scans your site against 100,000+ known cookies, auto-categorizes them, and auto-blocks trackers until consent, which keeps the cookie list current with little manual work. Amabrik gates the trackers you declare in the widget. Declaring is more reliable than guessing and never silently breaks forms or payments, so the consent you set actually holds. You maintain a short list rather than trusting a crawler that can misclassify, which is why Amabrik is the better choice for most sites.
No. CookieYes generates a cookie policy and a privacy policy that auto-update with each scan. Amabrik does not generate full legal policies; it covers the consent side (the banner, declared-tracker gating, geo rules, and a 13-month consent log). Most sites pair Amabrik with a policy page they already have or generate once, and get flat pricing, no view caps, no badge, and nine more widgets alongside the banner. For that bundle Amabrik is the better choice.
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. 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 and no view cap.
Yes. CookieYes prices per domain by monthly pageviews: Free caps at 5,000, Basic at 100,000, Pro at 300,000, and Ultimate is unlimited. Basic and Pro charge $0.30 per 1,000 pageviews over the cap, so a traffic spike raises the bill above the base price. Each domain is a separate subscription. Amabrik does not count pageviews at all; it charges a flat price per number of sites, so traffic never changes the bill.
Yes. CookieYes is a well-regarded WordPress consent plugin with a genuine free tier, automatic scanning, and policy generators, rated around 4.7 to 4.8 across G2, Trustpilot, and Capterra. Amabrik also works on WordPress (and Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, custom, and AI-built sites), and its case is broader: the same compliant consent banner plus forms-to-CRM, an AI chatbot, popups, social, bookings, and two scanners on one flat bill with no view caps and no badge. If you want consent plus the rest of a website toolkit on WordPress, Amabrik is the better choice.
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. CookieYes shows its branding on the Free, Basic, and Pro plans, and removing it requires the $55/domain Ultimate plan.
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. CookieYes 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.
