The differences that matter when you're not running WordPress
CookieGuard ships with a GitHub Action that runs on every push. Cookie compliance becomes part of your deploy pipeline — not a separate dashboard you remember to check quarterly.
CookieYes was built for WordPress and retrofitted for other platforms. CookieGuard works natively with Next.js, React, Vue, plain HTML — anything with a URL. One script tag, done.
CookieYes requires you to manually trigger rescans. CookieGuard scans automatically every time you ship code. If a new third-party script drops a tracker, you'll know before users do.
CookieYes tiers by pageviews, which means your compliance bill grows as your traffic grows. CookieGuard is $29/mo flat. Scale your site — your compliance cost stays the same.
Scan your site free in 30 seconds. No credit card, no plugin required.
