A Cookiebot alternative for marketing teams.
Velo suits teams that run several sites, rely on Google Consent Mode v2 and want one monthly price with VAT included. Cookiebot bills each domain by its page count. If you need a registered IAB TCF CMP today, stay with Cookiebot: Velo is not registered yet.
Consider switching if you pay Cookiebot for several domains, or if a growing page count keeps moving a site to a higher tier. Velo prices by visits instead, and one Pro plan covers every site you add. Check both pricing pages before you decide, because prices change.
Checked on 23 September 2026. Every Cookiebot fact on this page comes from Cookiebot's own website and links to the page it came from. Velo facts come from our pricing, product and TCF pages.
How Cookiebot and Velo charge
Cookiebot prices each domain by its number of subpages, meaning every unique URL on that domain, and says it does not charge by page views or usage. Each domain and each subdomain needs its own subscription. Prices are in euros and exclude VAT where applicable. Source: Cookiebot pricing, checked on 23 September 2026.
Cookiebot Core plans on monthly billing, per domain, before VAT:
- Free: one domain with up to 50 subpages.
- Premium Lite, €7 a month: up to 50 subpages, and only for one domain.
- Premium Small, €15 a month per domain: fewer than 350 subpages, offered only to accounts with four or more domains.
- Premium Medium, €30 a month per domain: fewer than 3,500 subpages. With one to three domains, Cookiebot bills any small domain on Medium.
- Premium Large, €50 a month per domain: fewer than 7,000 subpages.
- Premium Extra Large, €90 a month per domain: 7,000 subpages or more.
Cookiebot sets your tier from its own scan of your site. If the scan finds more subpages than your plan allows, it moves you up a tier at the end of the billing cycle. Cookiebot also offers yearly billing; this page compares monthly prices only. Source: Cookiebot pricing, checked on 23 September 2026.

What the same sites would cost
Two common setups, priced from each company's published monthly plans on 23 September 2026. The two companies count different things, so read the notes with the figures.
| Setup | Velo | Cookiebot |
|---|---|---|
| One site with 40,000 monthly sessions | €19 a month, VAT included. Pro with 50,000 sessions. | €30 a month before VAT if the site has 50 to 3,499 subpages. €7 below 50 subpages, €50 from 3,500 and €90 from 7,000. Traffic does not change the price. Cookiebot pricing |
| Three sites with 20,000 monthly sessions each | €29 a month, VAT included. Pro with 100,000 sessions covers all three sites, 60,000 sessions in total. | €90 a month before VAT if each site has 50 to 3,499 subpages: three domains on Medium at €30. More if any site reaches 3,500 subpages. Cookiebot pricing |
- The units differ. Velo counts visits across your account. Cookiebot counts unique URLs on each domain and ignores traffic. A small site with heavy traffic can cost less on Cookiebot. A large catalogue with modest traffic can cost less on Velo.
- VAT. Velo's price includes VAT. Cookiebot charges local VAT to customers in the EU, except companies with a valid VAT number, which are reverse charged. That exception does not apply to Danish companies. Customers outside the EU are not charged VAT.
- Features at each price. Geotargeting, custom branding and IAB TCF support are Premium features on Cookiebot, so compare Premium prices if you need them.
- Four or more domains. Cookiebot then offers Premium Small at €15 a month per domain, for domains with fewer than 350 subpages.
How to switch from Cookiebot to Velo
The new banner is the easy half of a switch. The work is in the tags that read the old platform's consent state. Our guide on switching consent platforms without breaking tracking covers each step in detail.
- List what Cookiebot handles today: its script, any Google Tag Manager template or variables, blocking rules and your cookie declaration.
- Export your Cookiebot consent records before you cancel. On Cookiebot, CSV export is a Premium feature.
- Write down which consent signal gates each tag now, and which Velo signal will gate it after the switch.
- Add Velo with the snippet or the Velo Google Tag Manager template, placed before your analytics and advertising tags.
- Review the scan findings in Velo, check the suggested cookie categories and set your regions.
- Test accept, reject and preference changes on a staging site. Check what fires, not only what is blocked.
- Remove the Cookiebot script and its Tag Manager variables last.
Existing consent records and the choices of returning visitors need a separate compatibility check, so keep your Cookiebot export.
When Cookiebot may suit you better
- You sell ad space. If you monetise through AdSense, Ad Manager or another programmatic stack in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, Google requires a certified TCF CMP. Cookiebot lists IAB TCF 2.3 support on Premium. Velo is not a registered TCF CMP yet, and our TCF page shows where registration stands.
- You run one small site with a lot of traffic. Below 50 subpages, Cookiebot Premium Lite costs €7 a month before VAT whatever your traffic. Velo at 40,000 monthly sessions costs €19.
- Your traffic is above 250,000 monthly sessions. Velo's published Pro tiers stop there. Cookiebot does not price by traffic.
- You want daily scans. Cookiebot offers them on Premium for €99 a month extra. Velo Pro scans monthly and whenever you run a manual scan.
Questions about switching from Cookiebot
Is Velo cheaper than Cookiebot?
It depends on your sites. Velo charges by monthly sessions across unlimited sites, with VAT included. Cookiebot charges each domain by page count, before VAT. On prices checked on 23 September 2026, three sites with 20,000 monthly sessions each cost €29 a month on Velo and €90 before VAT on Cookiebot, if each site has 50 to 3,499 subpages. A single site below 50 subpages with more than 10,000 monthly sessions costs less on Cookiebot Premium Lite.
Does Velo work with Google Consent Mode v2 like Cookiebot?
Yes. Both pass consent choices to Google tags through Consent Mode v2, and Cookiebot enables it by default. Velo sets the Consent Mode default when it loads and supports advanced mode on every plan. Google's modelling of declined visits depends on Google's own eligibility rules, and Velo does not guarantee recovered conversions.
Is Velo a registered IAB TCF CMP?
Not yet. TCF v2.3 support is in development and registration with IAB Europe is in progress. If your advertising partners require a registered CMP, use one until Velo's registration completes. Our TCF page has the current status.
How do I move from Cookiebot to Velo without breaking tracking?
Switch in order. Map which consent signal gates each tag, install Velo, rebuild your exceptions, then test accept and reject before you remove the Cookiebot script and its Tag Manager variables. Export your Cookiebot consent records first, because existing records need a separate compatibility check.
Does Velo charge per domain like Cookiebot?
No. Velo Pro covers unlimited sites and charges one monthly price for the sessions across your account. Cookiebot bills each domain and each subdomain separately, by page count.
