These are real complaints from Cookiebot users on Trustpilot and Reddit after the 2025 price hike.
"Started with one website for €7.5 per month… price went up to €30… then €60 per month" — Volodymyr Nosenko, Trustpilot
"€30/month for a cookie banner is completely disproportionate for a small business. Cookiebot is no longer suitable for small creators." — Toni Schuster, Trustpilot
"Simply by adding payment details, Cookiebot's system automatically upgraded our entire account… €360 without authorization" — Trustpilot review

You want a free, universal compliance scanner that works on every platform. Or you need affordable daily monitoring at $79/year with no domain limits, no page caps, and PDF audit reports. EUComply covers more regulations (GDPR, NIS2, DORA, EAA) than Cookiebot's cookie-focused CMP.
You need a full cookie consent management platform (CMP) with a banner, consent database, and IAB TCF support. Cookiebot is a CMP first; EUComply is a compliance scanner first. The best setup for many sites is Cookiebot (or another CMP) for consent + EUComply for compliance scanning.
