- You want one-click auto-injection, not copy-paste setup
- You're on a budget — Free tier covers 1 site forever
Pick a competitor if…
- ·You need 50+ languages (CookieBot has 47, OneTrust has 90+)
- ·You're a Fortune 500 with a procurement process that requires "enterprise" branding
- ·You're running massive programmatic advertising and need full TCF v2.2 today
- ·You need on-prem hosting (OneTrust offers this)
