Amabrik gives you worldwide-compliant cookie consent (GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss nLPD, CCPA, CPRA, LGPD, Consent Mode v2, GPC, a 13-month consent log) without a sales call, a custom quote, or an implementation project. It's one of 10 widgets on a flat self-serve plan. OneTrust is a full enterprise privacy platform; if you only need the cookie banner, Amabrik does that job alone.
Worldwide-compliant cookie consent on a flat, self-serve price, without an enterprise privacy platform's cost and complexity.
OneTrust's pricing page publishes no prices, no tiers, and no free plan, and routes every buyer to a sales call (Get Customized Pricing) on value-based usage meters. Amabrik is flat and self-serve: $29 a month for one site, on the site, no quote, no demo.
OneTrust's cookie banner is one module inside a privacy and GRC platform (data mapping, DSAR, vendor risk, governance). If you only want a compliant banner, you're configuring and paying for a whole suite. Amabrik is just the consent widget plus a website toolkit.
For cookie consent, OneTrust moved to traffic-based metering (priced on average daily visitors across your properties), so a busy month can cost more. Amabrik charges a flat price per number of sites with no pageview or visitor caps. Traffic spikes never change your bill.
Amabrik's consent widget covers GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss nLPD, CCPA, CPRA, and LGPD, with Google Consent Mode v2, Global Privacy Control, geo rules per region, and per-language text with RTL. A 13-month consent log exports to CSV and stores no raw IP.
OneTrust is a privacy platform, not a website widget suite. 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 from one snippet.
OneTrust's enterprise deployments commonly involve onboarding and implementation. Amabrik gates the trackers you declare in the widget: reliable, no crawler guessing, no integration project, and it doesn't silently break forms, payments, or embeds.
Every row is a concrete fact. OneTrust details verified as of June 2026.

OneTrust is a privacy platform. Amabrik gives you cookie consent plus nine more widgets and two scanners from one snippet, with no Powered-by badge on any plan.
Amabrik runs on a 7-day free trial with no credit card, then paid plans start at $29 a month ($23 a month billed annually), and the cookie consent widget never meters traffic or visitors. Amabrik doesn't have a forever-free tier. OneTrust has no real free working CMP plan either: it offers only standalone free tools (a banner template gallery, a CCPA opt-out builder), not a free cookie-consent plan with set domain or session limits. So both ask you to pay for a working banner, but Amabrik shows its price ($29/mo) on the site while OneTrust quotes by sales call.
OneTrust doesn't publish a price. Its pricing page lists no prices, tiers, or free plan and sends every buyer to a sales call on value-based usage meters; for cookie consent specifically it meters on average daily visitors across your properties. Third-party sources (not OneTrust) report a roughly $10,000 a year contract minimum (effective Q2 2026) and a Vendr-reported ~$11,600 a year median spend, plus implementation fees, all configuration-dependent. Amabrik is a flat, public $29 a month for one site ($59 for 10 sites, $159 for 50), with no traffic metering and no quote.
Choose Amabrik if the job is cookie consent, not a full privacy program, and you want a flat public price, no sales call, and no implementation project. OneTrust is an enterprise privacy and GRC platform where the cookie banner is one module among data mapping, DSAR, vendor risk, and governance, sold by custom quote. Amabrik gives you worldwide-compliant consent (GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss nLPD, CCPA, CPRA, LGPD, Consent Mode v2, GPC) with a 13-month no-raw-IP consent log, on a $29/mo self-serve plan that also includes 9 other widgets and two scanners.
A mid-market or large enterprise that needs a full privacy program (DSAR and privacy-rights automation, data mapping, vendor and third-party risk, data governance, AI governance, GRC, and audited consent records at massive scale, run as one integrated platform) is in a different, enterprise category. Amabrik is focused on the cookie-consent job, not that whole program, so it doesn't try to do data mapping, DSAR automation, or vendor risk. For the consent task that most sites actually need (plus a website toolkit), Amabrik is the simpler, cheaper fit, and for most sites it's the better choice.
No, and it doesn't claim to be. Amabrik is a website-widget platform whose cookie consent widget covers the consent job: GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss nLPD, CCPA, CPRA, LGPD, Google Consent Mode v2, Global Privacy Control, geo rules, per-language text, and a 13-month consent log. It does not do data mapping, DSAR automation, vendor risk, data governance, or GRC. Those are OneTrust's domain. Amabrik is consent plus widgets, not a privacy program.
Yes. Amabrik's cookie consent widget is worldwide-compliant, covering GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss nLPD, CCPA, CPRA, and LGPD, with Google Consent Mode v2 and Global Privacy Control for US visitors, and geolocation rules to show the right model per region. 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.
No, and that's deliberate. OneTrust auto-blocks trackers using no-code blocking, tag manager integration, or script rewriting, backed by a database of over 45 million pre-categorized cookies. Amabrik gates the trackers you declare in the widget. Declaring is more reliable than guessing and never silently breaks legitimate forms, payments, or embeds. The trade-off is that you maintain your tracker list rather than relying on a crawler and a large cookie database to find everything.
Yes, for the cookie-consent part, by recreating your banner in Amabrik and swapping the snippet. There's no automatic OneTrust importer, but the Amabrik cookie widget starts from templates and a guided editor: set your regions, languages, and the trackers you want gated, then replace the OneTrust script with the Amabrik one. Note this only moves cookie consent. If you also use OneTrust for DSAR, data mapping, or vendor risk, Amabrik does not replace those and you'd keep a tool for them.
Amabrik supports Google Consent Mode v2 and Global Privacy Control on every plan, along with GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss nLPD, CCPA, CPRA, and LGPD. OneTrust is an IAB Tech Lab-approved CMP for the TCF framework and supports the Global Privacy Platform, which matters for publishers running programmatic ad-tech under TCF. A formal IAB TCF-approved CMP for a heavy programmatic ad stack is a different, enterprise category, and that's a small slice of sites. For the consent job most sites need (Consent Mode v2 and GPC on a flat self-serve plan), Amabrik is the better choice.
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. OneTrust, by contrast, is a privacy and GRC platform, not a website widget suite.
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. OneTrust, as a privacy platform, maintains a detailed consent transaction database suited to large audited programs.
