The honest verdict

Pick the right tool — even if it isn't ours.

Choose Cookiebot if…

You run programmatic ads or AdSense in the EEA (Google requires a certified CMP — Cookiebot is one, Cookie Rocket isn't), your site isn't WordPress, or you're an enterprise that wants a hosted, audited platform and accepts per-domain monthly billing.

Choose Cookie Rocket if…

You run WordPress sites — especially several of them. The Agency tier covers 25 sites for $199/yr total; 25 domains on Cookiebot's lowest tier run past €2,100/yr. Data stays in your database; nothing loads from a third-party CDN.
