Why CookieGuard Wins for SMBs

The same compliance. A fraction of the cost. No enterprise baggage.

💰

1% of OneTrust's Cost

OneTrust starts at $10K/year. CookieGuard is $29-79/month. Over 3 years, that's $300K+ difference. For that price, hire a developer to actually fix your compliance issues.

30 Seconds, Not 8 Weeks

OneTrust requires implementation consulting, custom integration, and weeks of configuration. CookieGuard works in 30 seconds. Paste the script, you're done.

🔄

CI/CD Native

CookieGuard has native GitHub Actions integration. Automate compliance scanning in your deployment pipeline. OneTrust doesn't even have an API most customers can access.

🎯

Actually Works for Mid-Market

OneTrust priced out the mid-market in 2024. Their $10K minimum locks out 90% of companies that need cookie compliance. We're here for the rest of us.
