CONSENTBIT VS. CONSENTMANAGER

Cookie Consent Without the Pageview Bill.

ConsentManager’s Starter and Essential plans cover GDPR only. CCPA and US state law compliance requires the Enterprise plan, which is custom pricing. Pageview caps mean every successful campaign costs more.

ConsentBit covers GDPR and CCPA on every plan, installs natively in Webflow and Framer, and starts free.

WHY BUILDERS SWITCH

The plan that covers CCPA requires a custom Enterprise quote. The plans you can see are GDPR only.

Here is how the problem surfaces. A client launches a site serving both EU and US visitors. You installed consentmanager on the Starter or Essential plan because the pricing was clear and the EU compliance was solid. Six months later, the client gets a California privacy inquiry.

CCPA compliance on consentmanager is available on the Enterprise plan only. The Starter plan (€23/month) covers GDPR. The Essential plan (€59/month) covers GDPR, ePrivacy, and IAB TCF. Neither covers CCPA. Getting that coverage requires a custom Enterprise contract.

For an EU-based or EU-focused agency, this does not matter. For a US builder managing client sites with California visitors, it is the kind of thing you find out at the wrong moment.

01

CCPA/CPRA and US state law compliance: Enterprise only. Starter (€23/mo) and Essential (€59/mo) cover GDPR and ePrivacy only.

02

Pricing is in euros, per pageview. A successful campaign or seasonal spike creates an overage charge at the end of the month.

03

Starter covers one website. Managing two client sites requires Essential at €59/month.

04

No native Webflow or Framer integration. The banner installs as a script tag outside your design canvas.

05

No permanent free plan. consentmanager offers a 14-day trial. ConsentBit’s free plan has no expiry.

HOW CONSENTBIT FITS THE WORKFLOW

Four things that work from the free plan, not from the Enterprise tier.

Illustration: a builder styling a consent banner to match the site

CCPA from the free plan. Not from Enterprise.

ConsentBit covers GDPR, CCPA, and US state laws on every plan, including free. No regulation tiers, no Enterprise unlock required for US clients. The plan that covers your EU visitors covers your California visitors too.

Illustration: a builder wiring up a consent flow inside the design canvas

Flat pricing in USD. No pageview math, no currency exposure.

ConsentBit is $9 per site per month. Flat, USD, no pageview caps on any plan. consentmanager charges in euros per pageview — which means overage surprises when client traffic spikes, and currency conversion on every invoice for US agencies.

Illustration: a builder publishing a site with consent already configured

Inside the canvas, not beside it.

On Webflow and Framer, ConsentBit installs natively inside your design canvas. Configure, preview, and publish without leaving the tool you build in. For WordPress, Shopify, or any other platform, one script tag covers it.

Illustration: one dashboard managing consent across several client sites

Start free. No 14-day clock.

ConsentBit’s free plan does not expire after 14 days. Set it up on a new client site, test it, and upgrade only when the client is ready to pay. No trial deadline running in the background.

WHERE THE DIFFERENCE ACTUALLY MATTERS
01. Installation

Inside the canvas, not embedded outside it.

Start Your Free Trial
ConsentBit

On Webflow and Framer, ConsentBit installs natively inside your design canvas. The same place you built the site is where you configure the banner, preview it, and publish. On WordPress, Shopify, or any other platform, one script tag covers it — same account, same dashboard, regardless of platform.

ConsentManager

ConsentManager installs via a script tag or tag manager and supports CMS plugins for platforms like WordPress. There is no native Webflow or Framer integration, which means the banner lives outside your design environment and every banner update is a step away from where the site was built.

02. US Compliance

CCPA is not on the plan you can see. It is on the plan that requires a call.

California alone accounts for roughly 12% of the US population. Any site with meaningful US traffic and data collection has a CCPA exposure, regardless of where the company is incorporated.

Note: consentmanager includes IAB GPP signaling on all plans, including Starter. IAB GPP is a technical standard for signaling privacy preferences. It is not equivalent to full CCPA regulatory compliance as a consent management framework.

ConsentBit

On ConsentBit, CCPA and US state law compliance is included on every plan, from free upward. There is no upgrade required, no conversation needed, no separate unlock.

ConsentManager

On ConsentManager, CCPA and CPRA are available on the Enterprise plan only. The Starter plan (€23/month) covers GDPR and ePrivacy. The Essential plan (€59/month) adds IAB TCF. Neither covers CCPA. A site with EU visitors and California visitors is, on either of those plans, compliant for EU visitors and exposed for US visitors — until the Enterprise contract is in place

03. Pricing

The bill that grows when your clients have a good month.

  • ConsentBit: 9/site/month (8 billed annually). Flat. USD. No pageview caps.
  • ConsentManager Starter: €23/month for one website and 100,000 views. GDPR only. Additional views at €0.11/1,000.
  • ConsentManager Essential: €59/month for three websites and 1 million views. GDPR + IAB TCF. Additional views at €0.05/1,000.
ConsentBit

ConsentBit is $9 per site per month. No caps, no overages, no pageview math. No surprises at month end.

ConsentManager

ConsentManager’s Starter plan includes 100,000 pageviews per month. Beyond that, additional views cost €0.11 per 1,000. A client site that runs a successful campaign and hits 300,000 views in a month generates a surprise overage charge of €22 — on top of the base €23.

That is not a criticism of the model. For large publishers with predictable traffic and dedicated ops teams, pageview pricing is manageable. For a builder managing a portfolio of smaller client sites with unpredictable spikes, it creates invoices you cannot quote to clients in advance.

04. Consent Records

The audit request asks for records from 18 months ago. On the Starter plan, those are gone.

A compliance audit covering an 18-month window, on a Starter or Essential plan, is an audit your consent logs cannot fully answer. The records past 13 months do not exist.

Start Your Free Trial
ConsentBit

With ConsentBit, every consent event is logged, exportable, and searchable from day one on every plan. There is no retention cliff. When the audit arrives, the records are there.

ConsentManager

ConsentManager includes consent logs on all plans — but with a retention limit. Starter and Essential retain records for 13 months. Enterprise retains for 36 months.

05. Compliance Scope

Both regulations. One plan. No negotiation required.

Most client sites serving US and EU visitors need two things: GDPR for EU visitors and CCPA for California visitors. Both have active enforcement, documented fines, and no grace period for agencies who did not know the platform they chose did not cover one of them.

ConsentBit

ConsentBit covers both on every plan. A mixed EU and US traffic site is fully covered from the moment of installation.

ConsentManager

On consentmanager, GDPR coverage starts at Starter. CCPA coverage starts at Enterprise. The gap between “covered for EU” and “covered for both” is a custom Enterprise contract and a sales conversation.

One price. No pageview math, no Enterprise unlock for US compliance.

ConsentBit is $9 per site per month ($8 billed annually). GDPR and CCPA included. No pageview caps. consentmanager’s Starter is €23/month for one website and GDPR only — US compliance requires the Enterprise plan. Use the calculator to see your portfolio cost side by side.

SWITCHING FEELS RISKY. IT SHOULDN'T.

Three steps. Your clients stay protected the whole way through.

The biggest reason people do not switch compliance tools is fear of a gap — a moment where the old tool is off and the new one is not running yet. ConsentBit removes that.

1

Install

Add ConsentBit from the Webflow Marketplace or drop a script tag on any platform. Under five minutes per site.

2

Style and configure

Match the banner to your site. Set your regions. Preview before anything goes live.

3

Switch over

Your ConsentManager banner keeps running until you are ready to remove it. There is no moment where your client’s site is uncovered.

ConsentBit starts fresh from your activation date. Your existing ConsentManager consent records stay in ConsentManager — there is no import path. New consent events are logged in ConsentBit from the moment it goes live.

FROM BUILDERS WHO HAVE BEEN THERE

You can read the feature list all day. Here is what builders say after they have actually used it.

Testimonials
“Easy to install, lightweight, and delivers a great UX for visitors.”

The installation Webflow was simple, lightweight and provides a great UX for our visitors. We'll be recommending to all of our clients.

Testimonials
“Clean UI, powerful customization, and seamless Webflow integration.”

ConsentBit is a wonderful solution with a clean UI for managing user consent with tracking scripts. I love that I can customize a ton of styling options to make the cookie consent banner look and feel part of my branded website. Publishing this solution to my site took me through an easy-to-navigate flow using their native Webflow app right in the Webflow canvas.

FAQ

Curiosity calling? Let's dive in.

Does ConsentBit only work on Webflow and Framer?

No. Webflow and Framer are where ConsentBit runs natively inside your design tool. For every other platform including WordPress, Shopify, and custom-built sites, it installs via a script tag. One account, every platform, one dashboard.

Does ConsentManager cover CCPA on lower plans?

No. CCPA and CPRA are available on consentmanager’s Enterprise plan only. The Starter and Essential plans cover GDPR and ePrivacy. If your clients have US visitors who need CCPA compliance, consentmanager’s Enterprise tier is required. ConsentBit includes CCPA and US state law coverage on every plan, from free upward.

How does ConsentManager pageview pricing work?

ConsentManager charges based on pageviews per month. The Starter plan includes 100,000 views and charges €0.11 for each additional 1,000. Essential includes 1 million views and charges €0.05 per additional 1,000. If a client site exceeds the included views — after a campaign, a seasonal spike, or a viral piece — the overage is billed at month end. ConsentBit has no pageview caps.

Is ConsentBit a Google-Certified CMP?

Yes. ConsentBit is listed on Google’s official CMP Partner Program for consent collection in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland. Required to run Google Ads and Analytics in those regions. You can verify it directly on Google’s site (cmppartnerprogram.withgoogle.com).

Is ConsentManager a Google-Certified CMP?

Yes. ConsentManager is also listed on Google’s CMP Partner Program.

Does ConsentManager have a free plan?

No permanent free plan. ConsentManager offers a 14-day free trial on paid plans. ConsentBit has a free plan with no expiry date.

How does pricing actually compare for a US agency?

For a US agency managing client sites that need both GDPR and CCPA coverage: ConsentManager requires the Enterprise plan (custom pricing) for CCPA compliance. ConsentBit includes CCPA on every plan starting at $9/month. For EU-only clients, ConsentManager’s Starter (€23/month) is roughly comparable to ConsentBit’s paid plan — though with pageview caps, a one-website limit, and no native Webflow or Framer integration.

What happens to my existing consent logs when I switch?

ConsentBit starts fresh from your activation date. Your existing ConsentManager consent records stay in ConsentManager — there is no import path. New consent events are logged in ConsentBit from the moment it goes live. Returning visitors will see the banner once more, and all new activity is on record from day one.

Which tool is actually right for me?

Choose ConsentBit if you manage Webflow or Framer client sites, need GDPR and CCPA coverage without an Enterprise contract, want flat USD pricing without pageview caps, and want a free plan with no expiry.
Choose ConsentManager if you manage large publisher or advertiser setups with significant EU traffic, need ConsentManager’s advanced machine learning optimization or consent rate benchmarking, or are running a multi-region enterprise deployment where GDPR is the primary regulatory concern.
Both are Google-Certified CMPs. The honest question is whether the plan you can afford covers the regulations your clients actually need.

Your US clients are covered from the free plan. Not from the Enterprise tier.

Set up ConsentBit on any platform in under five minutes. Full US and EU compliance, consent logs, native Webflow and Framer integration, and full design control on every plan, starting free.
