Three reasons advertisers pick Velo
One flat bill
Session tiers with a flat multi domain fee. Add a client site and the price holds, instead of climbing a tier at a time.
Recovery built in
Native server side tagging and edge masking put back the conversions consent hides. Where other tools sell it alongside, or not at all, Velo builds it in.
Done for you
The Amplio Data team installs the banner, wires Consent Mode v2 and builds your server side, live in 72 hours. Not a snippet and a wish of luck.
Where Cookiebot is the better call
A comparison that only flatters itself is a brochure. Cookiebot is a capable platform, and for some teams it is the right one.
- You run just one or two sites and want a Google Gold certified banner live fast.
- You are already inside the Usercentrics ecosystem and want the matching SMB product.
- You value the reassurance of one of the largest install bases in the market.
- You do not need server side recovery, only a compliant banner and scanner.
Velo vs Cookiebot, answered
Did Cookiebot really raise its prices?
Yes. In August 2025 Cookiebot roughly doubled its base Premium rate to about €30 per domain per month and limited the €15 rate to accounts with four or more domains. Many customers were moved up a tier. Velo keeps multi domain pricing flat.
Is Velo cheaper than Cookiebot?
For more than one domain, usually yes. Cookiebot bills each domain separately by subpage count, so a roster climbs domain by domain. Velo covers unlimited domains on one flat plan.
Can I migrate from Cookiebot to Velo?
Yes. We map your categories and vendors across so you keep your banner look and your records, and most teams are live in 72 hours. See the migration guide.
Does Velo have IAB TCF like Cookiebot?
Not in the current release. Velo is built for advertisers, who need Consent Mode v2 signals rather than a TCF certified CMP. If you monetise ads as a publisher, Cookiebot’s certification is the right pick today.
What does Velo do that Cookiebot does not?
Native server side recovery, flat multi domain pricing, and a setup done for you by the Amplio Data team.
