Why use CMPStack?

You get a complete CMP — not just a banner — with transparent plans and deploy paths that match how modern sites are actually built.

Start free, ship today
One domain, banner, manager, prebuilt templates, auto-blocking, HTTP scanner, GDPR presets, and platform guides — no credit card. Upgrade when you need branding removal, built-in tags, or a declaration page.
Starter at $5/month
Deep scan, 20 languages, declaration page, 10 built-in tags, and webhooks — often less than half the entry price of Cookiebot-style paid tiers (~$15+/mo).
No per-pageview tax
Flat monthly plans. Traffic spikes on a blog or launch day do not inflate your CMP bill the way pageview-metered tools can.
One head-first script
Paste a single `consent.js` tag before other scripts. Auto-block runs early — no tag-manager maze required for GA4, Meta, or Hotjar.
Built for real stacks
18+ install guides (WordPress plugin, Shopify, Next.js, Webflow…) with your live Domain ID copied from the dashboard.
Compliance without bloat
GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, PIPEDA presets, GPC, subdomain sharing, consent logs, and optional webhooks — without enterprise sales calls.

Practical scenarios

Real workflows — what you would configure, what it costs, and how that compares to typical Cookiebot / Termly / iubenda setups.

Solo creator, one domain, ~5k visits/mo

Personal blog + GA4

Need: Show a banner, block GA until consent, stay on budget

CMPStack: Free plan — GDPR banner, auto-block, HTTP scan, GPC, Consent Mode defaults. Connect GA4 on Starter ($5) when you want tags wired in.

Typical alternative: Cookiebot Free or Termly free tier — workable, but paid upgrades hit ~$15/mo quickly when you need branding removal + declaration.

CMPStack keeps the full workflow on Free; paid unlock is $5/mo, not $15+.

Local business, GA4 + Meta Pixel, one language

Small business marketing site

Need: GDPR banner, cookie declaration, block pixels until accept

CMPStack: Starter $5/mo — geo-targeting, declaration editor, GA4 + Meta built-in, deep scan (50 pages).

Typical alternative: Cookiebot Premium ~$15+/mo or Termly Pro ~$15/mo for similar banner + scan + marketing tags.

Same outcome, lower flat fee — no pageview overages on traffic campaigns.

Freelancer or small agency

Agency managing 5 client sites

Need: Separate banners, logs, and scans per domain

CMPStack: Pro $29/mo — up to 5 domains, CSV export, auto-rescan, 1-year log retention.

Typical alternative: Five separate Cookiebot/Termly subscriptions (~$15 each ≈ $75/mo) or one higher multi-domain tier.

One Pro subscription covers five domains for $29/mo instead of stacking ~$75/mo.

Merchant using WooCommerce + Meta catalog ads

WordPress WooCommerce store

Need: Install without theme edits, block marketing tags pre-consent

CMPStack: Official WordPress plugin + WooCommerce guide. Head-first embed, iframe blocking for embedded video, Meta on Starter+.

Typical alternative: Cookiebot WP plugin or iubenda WP module — often bundled with legal-doc credits you may not need.

Purpose-built CMP plugin and guides — not a legal-suite upsell.
