CookieYes Alternative
CookieYes is the budget banner leader. PieEye is a full privacy platform built for eCommerce — consent, cookie scanning, DSAR automation, and data mapping in one place.
CookieYes is one of the most widely installed consent tools on the web — the WordPress ecosystem especially. Its appeal is real: setup takes minutes, the free plan costs nothing, and paid plans start at just $10/month per domain.
The catch lives in the quotas, verified from CookieYes's own pricing page and documentation in July 2026. The free plan covers 5,000 pageviews per month — and when that quota is exceeded, the cookie banner stops displaying until you upgrade or the monthly cycle resets. For an eCommerce store, that failure mode is inverted from what you want: the banner disappears precisely during your highest-traffic, highest-scrutiny moments — a sale, a press hit, Black Friday. Removing CookieYes branding from the banner, meanwhile, is gated to the $55/month Ultimate tier.
PieEye is a different category of product: a privacy platform for eCommerce that includes the banner but also cookie scanning, DSAR automation across 500+ commerce connectors, data mapping, and pre-consent script blocking.
Here is the honest comparison, the verified pricing and quota behavior, and a migration path.

CookieYes pricing, verified at cookieyes.com/pricing in July 2026: Free is $0 for 5,000 pageviews/month and 100 pages per scan (one free domain per account). Basic is $10/month per domain for 100,000 pageviews and 600 pages per scan. Pro is $25/month per domain for 300,000 pageviews, 4,000 pages per scan, geo-targeting, and monthly scheduled scans. Ultimate is $55/month per domain with unlimited pageviews, 8,000 pages per scan, weekly scans — and it is the only tier that removes CookieYes branding. Annual billing gives two months free, and paid-tier overage is billed at $0.30 per 1,000 extra pageviews.
The quota behavior is the detail buyers miss: per CookieYes's documentation ('What happens if we exceed the monthly page views quota?'), exceeding the free plan's pageview quota results in the banner no longer being displayed until you upgrade — with dashboard and email notifications on the way there. On agency plans, a domain's banner pauses until the next billing cycle or an upgrade. A consent banner that turns off under load is a compliance gap that opens exactly when regulator- and plaintiff-visible traffic peaks.
PieEye offers a free tier and demo-scoped paid plans covering the full platform — consent, scanning, DSAR automation, and data mapping — so the banner is one part of the compliance story rather than the whole product.
CookieYes pricing and quota behavior verified at cookieyes.com/pricing and cookieyes.com/documentation/monthly-page-views-quota/ in July 2026 and may change. PieEye does not publish paid pricing — start free or book a demo.
