Cookie consent tools compared

Price for one site and for an agency, the gzipped size of each banner script, and a page for each tool with what its banner editor can and can't do.

Feature by feature

Prices are for each vendor's cheapest plan with no vendor logo or “Powered by” line, billed monthly where the vendor allows it, so every column buys the same thing. Below them are yes-or-no questions answered from each vendor's own pricing page and help centre. A dash means the vendor's docs don't say. Each tool's page explains every answer and links the source.
