Cookiebot Alternative
Cookiebot is a strong cookie banner with a great scanner. PieEye is a full privacy platform — consent, cookie scanning, DSAR automation, and data mapping — built for Shopify and BigCommerce stores.
Cookiebot, now part of Usercentrics, is one of the best-known consent management platforms in the world — and its reputation is deserved in one specific area: scanning. Cookiebot's crawler and tracker database are among the deepest in the industry, and its banner ships with 47+ languages, geotargeting, and Google Consent Mode support.
The limits show up when you look at scope and pricing. Cookiebot is a consent tool, not a privacy platform: there is no DSAR automation, no data mapping, and no policy suite beyond the auto-generated cookie declaration. Its pricing is per domain and tiered by subpage count — with subdomains explicitly treated as separate domains requiring their own subscriptions. A brand with a main store, a blog subdomain, and two regional storefronts is buying four subscriptions.
PieEye covers the banner and the scanner, then keeps going: DSAR automation across 500+ eCommerce connectors, data mapping, policy generation, and pre-consent script blocking — built for Shopify and BigCommerce rather than adapted to them.
Here is the honest comparison, the verified pricing, and a concrete migration path.
Consent, cookie scanning, DSAR automation, and data mapping in one platform
Native Shopify and BigCommerce fit with 500+ commerce-stack connectors
Trap and Trace Shield blocks third-party scripts before consent
Free tier and free public scanners — audit your store before you buy anything

Cookiebot publishes clear pricing, verified at cookiebot.com/en/pricing in July 2026: a free plan covers one domain up to 50 subpages; Premium Lite starts at €7/month for one small domain; per-domain Premium tiers run €15–30/month (up to 350 subpages), €30/month (up to 3,500 subpages), €50/month (up to 7,000 subpages), and €90/month above that. Daily scanning — instead of the included monthly scan — is a €99/month add-on, and subdomains are treated as separate domains with their own subscriptions.
For a single small site, that is genuinely cheap. For a growing eCommerce brand with several storefronts, subdomains, and thousands of product pages, the per-domain, per-subpage model climbs — and it still only buys consent, not DSAR handling or data mapping.
PieEye offers a free tier to start and demo-scoped paid plans covering the full platform — consent, scanning, DSAR automation, and data mapping — rather than pricing each capability and each subdomain separately.
