Where Policify is stronger

Where Policify meaningfully outperforms Cookiebot.

An actual policy generator — not just a consent banner

Cookiebot is a world-class cookie consent platform. But it does not generate privacy policies, terms of service, NDAs, employment documents, or any of the other 119 compliance documents your business needs. Policify does all of this and more — it's a genuinely different product serving the full compliance need.

Lower cost for compliance document generation

Policify Unlimited is £9/month for unlimited document generation across all 120 types. Cookiebot pricing starts at £15+/month for cookie consent on a single domain — and does not include any policy document generation. If you need both, Policify is the more cost-effective starting point.

One-time purchase — no subscription

The Policify £29 one-time plan provides 100 lifetime credits for any document type. Cookiebot has no equivalent — it is subscription-only, with pricing that scales by domain count and page volume.

Quality verification on every document

Every Policify document is verified for accuracy before delivery — catching fabricated references, missing clauses, and inconsistencies. This provides a different level of assurance versus templated consent banners.

180+ jurisdictions for policy generation

Policify generates jurisdiction-specific policy documents for 180+ regulations worldwide — PDPA, APPI, DPDP Act, POPIA, PIPEDA, PIPL, and more. Cookiebot's jurisdiction coverage applies to its consent management layer, not policy document creation (which it doesn't offer).

120 languages for policy documents

Generate fully translated policy documents in Arabic, Mandarin, Hindi, Japanese, Swahili, or 115 other languages. Cookiebot's banner translations don't address the underlying policy document language requirement.

Where Cookiebot is currently ahead

Where Cookiebot leads — and will likely always lead as a consent specialist.

Enterprise-grade cookie consent management

Cookiebot (Usercentrics) is the leading enterprise CMP with IAB TCF 2.2, Google Consent Mode v2, multi-domain management, consent logs, and a comprehensive audit trail. For large-scale consent infrastructure, Cookiebot has no equal in the market today.

The most comprehensive automated cookie scanner

Cookiebot's automated scanner crawls your entire domain, categorises every cookie and tracker it finds, and keeps your cookie declaration up to date automatically. Policify's scanner capability is on the roadmap.

IAB TCF 2.2 for digital advertising

For publishers and advertisers that need IAB Transparency and Consent Framework compliance, Cookiebot is a fully certified implementation. Policify's CMP will support TCF, but it is not yet live.

Proven at scale (millions of websites)

Cookiebot / Usercentrics powers consent management for millions of websites and is trusted by many of the world's largest organisations. Policify launched in April 2026.

Frequently asked questions

Is Cookiebot the same as Usercentrics Cookiebot CMP?

Yes. Cookiebot was acquired by Usercentrics in 2021 and is now marketed as "Usercentrics Cookiebot CMP." The product is the same consent management platform, now part of the Usercentrics product suite. All references to Cookiebot and Usercentrics in this comparison refer to the same product.

Can Policify replace Cookiebot?

For policy document generation (privacy policies, terms of service, cookie policies, etc.), Policify is a comprehensive alternative with 120 document types. For cookie consent banner management and automated scanning, Policify's CMP is in development and not yet at Cookiebot's level. Many businesses use both tools for different purposes.

Does Cookiebot generate privacy policies?

No. Cookiebot generates a cookie declaration (a list of cookies found on your site) as part of its consent management. It does not generate privacy policies, terms of service, or other compliance documents. For those, you need a separate tool like Policify.

Which is better value — Policify or Cookiebot — for a small business?

For small businesses that primarily need compliance documents (privacy policy, terms of service, cookie policy), Policify at £9/month is significantly better value than Cookiebot's consent-focused pricing. If cookie consent management is your primary need, Cookiebot's free tier (1 domain, 100 pages) may be sufficient to start.

Does Policify support Google Consent Mode v2 like Cookiebot?

Google Consent Mode v2 integration is part of the Policify CMP roadmap. Cookiebot currently supports it in production. If Consent Mode is a hard requirement for your ad tracking today, factor this into your tool selection.

Do I need both Policify and Cookiebot?

Some businesses use Policify for policy document generation and a dedicated CMP for cookie consent. Policify's CMP in development will address the consent layer, making it a full-stack compliance platform. As Policify's CMP matures, the need for a separate cookie consent tool will diminish.
