Cookiebot Pricing Explained (2026): What You Actually Pay

If you're trying to figure out what Cookiebot costs, the short answer is: more than the sticker price suggests, and more than it did a year ago. Cookiebot has a free tier and paid Premium plans that start around $34 a month, but the number you actually pay depends on how many subpages its scanner finds, how many domains you run, and when you signed up.

Here's the full breakdown, including the August 2025 change that caught a lot of existing customers off guard, and what the same job costs elsewhere.

What Cookiebot costs in 2026

Cookiebot, now branded Cookiebot CMP by Usercentrics, has two things worth your attention: a free tier and a set of paid Premium tiers.

• Free. Covers a single domain, up to 50 subpages, and compliance with one regulation. Fine for a small personal site, tight for anything real.
• Premium. Priced by the number of subpages Cookiebot's scanner detects, in bands (Small, Medium, Large). The Medium band runs about $34 a month for a single domain and up to roughly 3,500 subpages.

Two details matter more than the headline number: how Cookiebot counts, and how it charges for more than one site.

The catch: you're billed per subpage, not per visitor

Cookiebot prices Premium by the number of subpages its crawler finds on your domain, and you can't easily verify or dispute that count. The scanner treats search result pages, paginated archives, and parameter-based URLs as separate subpages, so the number it bills you for can be much larger than the number of pages you think you have. One reviewer reported being charged for 5,000-plus subpages on a site they say doesn't have anywhere near that many.

This is the opposite of how most people budget. You know roughly how many visitors you get. You usually have no idea how many URLs a crawler will decide your site has.

What changed in August 2025

In August 2025, Cookiebot doubled its base Premium pricing (the per-domain rate went from roughly 15 to 30 EUR) and automatically migrated accounts with fewer than four domains onto a more expensive tier. Customers described the communication around the change as poor and the increase as steep. If your Cookiebot bill jumped last year without your plan changing, this is why.

The per-domain math

Cookiebot charges the full subscription price for each domain, with no volume discount, and subdomains count as separate domains. That's the line item that surprises agencies and multi-site owners. Two domains is two subscriptions. Ten medium sites is about $340 a month.

The gap isn't dramatic at one site. It compounds the moment you add a second.

A flat-priced alternative

If the per-subpage counting and the per-domain stacking are what's pushing your Cookiebot bill up, ConsentStack is built the other way. Pricing is flat and public: $29 a month on Pro for two domains, $5 for each additional domain, billed by unique monthly visitors (a number you already track) rather than by crawler-counted subpages. It covers 195+ regulations across 157+ jurisdictions from a single toggle, on every tier including free.

Cookiebot still does a few things ConsentStack doesn't. It generates a published cookie-declaration page from a large cookie database, it's a certified IAB TCF CMP for EU programmatic advertising, and it supports 60-plus languages. If any of those is a hard requirement, Cookiebot earns its place. For most sites that just need consent handled correctly at a predictable price, the math favors switching.

Check what you're actually paying for

Before you renew anything, it's worth confirming your current banner actually works. A banner that loads doesn't mean trackers are being blocked before consent, and that's the part regulators care about. Run your site through our free compliance scanner and see exactly what fires before and after someone clicks Reject. It takes about a minute and doesn't need an email.
