WebsitePolicies vs CookieYes: a yearly policy-and-banner bundle or a per-domain consent plan

WebsitePolicies vs CookieYes: the price model decides

WebsitePolicies sells a yearly bundle of policies and a banner per website, while CookieYes sells a consent plan per domain metered by pageviews. As read on November 4, 2026, WebsitePolicies Starter is $59 a year for 1 website, and CookieYes Basic is $100 a year per domain billed annually.

Figures come from each vendor's own pricing page: WebsitePolicies and CookieYes.

What one site costs on each

On yearly bills, WebsitePolicies Starter at $59 a year is lower than CookieYes Basic at $100 a year billed annually, for 1 website or domain each. CookieYes Basic is also sold at $10 a month billed monthly, and WebsitePolicies has no monthly plan. CookieYes Basic includes 100,000 pageviews a month and charges $0.30 per 1,000 beyond that, and the WebsitePolicies pages describe no such meter.

Starter holds 3 policies with 10 revisions each. Professional is $99 a year with all policies. Both are yearly prices per website, with the full list on the WebsitePolicies pricing page.

Consent records, geo-targeting and GPC

The compare table puts cookie consent collection on WebsitePolicies Professional and up, not on Starter. WebsitePolicies' pages describe no retention period, export, geo-targeting or Global Privacy Control, and its compare table row called global privacy compliance is a different label from Global Privacy Control.

CookieYes keeps a consent log on every plan, with exports for 1 year on Free and 5 years on the paid plans. Pro and Ultimate add Global Privacy Control, geo-targeting and IAB TCF v2.4. Read the CookieYes pricing breakdown for each plan's limits. Both list Google Consent Mode v2 on every plan.

Policies: bundled or generated

WebsitePolicies is a policy generator first. Starter includes 3 policies of your choice, and Professional includes all of them, hosted and embeddable. CookieYes includes a cookie policy generator and a privacy policy generator on its plans, and CookieYes Basic adds multi-language policies and a hosted policy URL.

WebsitePolicies says its policies are attorney-drafted. That is the vendor's claim, and this page is information only. Each site owner is responsible for their own compliance, and a qualified lawyer answers your own case.

Trial, refund and renewal

WebsitePolicies has no trial, and it refunds 100% of a new purchase requested within 7 days. After that window it provides no refund, and the plan renews automatically unless canceled.

CookieYes paid plans start with a 14-day trial that takes payment details at sign-up. Your card is charged automatically when the trial ends unless you cancel, and CookieYes lists no money-back guarantee. Read the CookieYes review before you start one.

Who should pick which

Pick WebsitePolicies for one site that wants its policies and a banner from one vendor on a yearly bill, or Professional if you need consent collection. Pick CookieYes for monthly billing, a free plan for one domain, a WordPress plugin or geo-targeting with Global Privacy Control from Pro.
