Best cookie consent banner tools for small US sites, grouped by what they count and what the free plans allow, with California and EU rules tied to sources.

Bottom line: There is no single best banner. The right one depends on which rules apply to your visitors and on what the tool counts, such as pageviews, subpages, banner views or websites. For a small US site, a free plan with a fair accept and reject choice is a sound start. Agencies should compare per-domain and bulk terms in writing.

CookieYes vs Cookiebot compared from each vendor's pages: pageview meter against subpage tiers, free plans, multi-domain handling and who each fits.

Bottom line: CookieYes sizes plans by monthly pageviews, while Cookiebot sizes them by the number of subpages per domain and says it does not charge by traffic. A busy site with few pages may suit Cookiebot's meter, and a quiet site with many pages may suit CookieYes. Each vendor's comparison page favors its author.
