Usercentrics is an enterprise consent platform billed by monthly sessions and domains. Amabrik is a worldwide-compliant cookie consent widget, flat-priced by number of sites, and it ships with nine more widgets and two scanners on the same bill.
Flat, traffic-proof consent and a sub-5 KB loader, plus a full widget toolkit, against an enterprise session-metered CMP.
Usercentrics bills by monthly sessions (each page load with their script, counted in 30-minute windows) and by number of domains, with plans that auto-upgrade when you cross a limit. Amabrik is flat: $29/mo for 1 site, $59 for 10, $159 for 50, with no pageview, visitor, or session caps. Your bill doesn't move when your traffic does, which is why Amabrik is the right call for sites that want a predictable cost.
GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss nLPD, CCPA, CPRA, LGPD, Google Consent Mode v2, and GPC. Declared-tracker gating so scripts only fire after consent, geo rules per region, a 13-month consent log with CSV export, and no raw IP stored.
The loader is under 5 KB, code-split and lazy-loaded, with heavier widgets in their own frame. Usercentrics customers report script loading that can lower Lighthouse scores and slow page loads.
Usercentrics counts sessions from all regions, even where no banner shows, and test or staging traffic can eat into your quota unless carefully excluded. Amabrik doesn't meter traffic at all, so geo-limited deployments and staging don't inflate a bill.
No Amabrik logo or link on any widget, on any plan. The consent banner is yours.
Start on a 7-day trial with no card. Usercentrics keeps its top Corporate tier quote-only and sales-led, so true enterprise cost isn't transparent up front.
Every row is a concrete fact. Usercentrics figures verified as of June 2026.

Usercentrics is a consent platform. Amabrik gives you cookie consent plus nine more widgets and two scanners from one snippet, with no Powered-by badge.
Usercentrics has a genuine free tier (1 domain, under 1,000 monthly sessions, 2 languages), which caps fast as traffic grows. Amabrik doesn't have a forever-free plan: it starts with a 7-day trial (no card), then $29/mo flat for 1 site with no session or pageview caps. For almost any real site, flat pricing that doesn't climb with sessions makes Amabrik the better fit.
It depends on traffic. Usercentrics is free under 1,000 sessions and EUR 7 to EUR 50 on its paid tiers, but cost rises with sessions and domains (Business scales to a reported ~$795/mo at 1M sessions/100 domains, and Corporate is quote-only). Amabrik is flat: $29/mo for 1 site, $59 for 10, $159 for 50, with no traffic metering. For a busy or multi-domain site, Amabrik's flat bill is usually cheaper and far easier to predict.
Three reasons: flat pricing with no session metering, a loader under 5 KB, and nine other widgets plus two scanners on the same plan. Usercentrics adds IAB TCF, consent A/B testing, and dedicated CMP analytics, which serve a different, enterprise category. For most sites, predictable cost and a lighter script make Amabrik the better choice.
Yes. Amabrik's cookie consent banner covers GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss nLPD, CCPA, CPRA, LGPD, Google Consent Mode v2, and GPC, with declared-tracker gating so scripts only fire after consent, geo rules per region, a 13-month consent log with CSV export, and no raw IP stored.
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. Usercentrics is a Google-certified CMP (Gold Tier) and supports IAB TCF (2.2/2.3) and GPP for ad-tech and large publishers, a different, enterprise category. Amabrik is a worldwide-compliant cookie consent widget that covers the consent rules most sites actually face, flat-priced and light, which makes it the right fit outside that ad-tech niche.
No. Consent A/B testing, consent-rate optimization, and dedicated CMP analytics are Usercentrics features built for a different, enterprise category. Amabrik is lighter consent plus a website toolkit, which is what most sites need and why it's the better choice for them.
Usercentrics counts a session each time a visitor loads a page with its script, in 30-minute windows, and bills by sessions and domains, with plans that auto-upgrade past a limit. Sessions count even in regions where no banner shows, and test traffic can count too. Amabrik doesn't meter traffic at all: you pay a flat price by number of sites.
Yes. Amabrik works on any site (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, custom, and AI-built sites from Lovable, v0, Bolt, Cursor, and Framer). Add one snippet, configure your consent rules and declared trackers, then remove the Usercentrics script. Consent settings are set up fresh in Amabrik; export your existing records from Usercentrics first if you need to keep them.
Every Amabrik plan includes all ten widgets (cookie consent, banner, popup, forms, AI chatbot, reviews, social feeds, social proof, bookings, chat button) plus a Security scan and an SEO/AEO scan, with no add-on pricing. Usercentrics is a consent platform only, so it has no forms, chatbot, popups, or scanners.
Straight to your own connected CRM, email tool, or webhook the instant they land. Amabrik doesn't store, log, or sell captured leads (there's no submissions table). The only visitor data Amabrik keeps is cookie-consent records, for GDPR.
Large publishers, ad-tech and TCF-heavy sites, and teams that need consent-rate optimization and dedicated CMP analytics at scale sit in a different, enterprise category. Most sites aren't in that niche. Pick Amabrik when you want lighter, flat-priced, worldwide consent plus a website toolkit and scanners, which covers the vast majority of sites.
