Didomi alternatives: where to go and how to switch without losing consent records
Six Google-certified CMPs, one card per reason to leave, and an eight-step switch plan.
The short answer: Usercentrics if you run several sites and want to pay for real traffic, CookieYes for a small site on a tight budget, iubenda if you also need your privacy and cookie policies, consentmanager if you have millions of pageviews and sell ads, Axeptio if you want a polished European banner with public prices, and Cookiebot only if you have four domains or more. One thing to know first: Didomi keeps your consent proofs for five years and can export them through its API, but no other tool imports them. You archive them, then collect fresh consent on the new banner. We compared all six on their official pages in 2026.
Our ranking is editorial: a sponsored spot is always labeled on its card, and no affiliate link ever changes a score.
Why teams move off Didomi, and what they miss
Didomi is a solid consent management platform (CMP). It's on Google's certified list, supports IAB TCF 2.3, and reviewers rate its support highly. People leave for other reasons: price, an enterprise sales process, and paying for a platform when they only use the banner. Here are six, each checked in 2026.
No public pricing
All three consent plans (Essential, Advanced, Premium) end in a "Contact us" button. You get a number only after a sales call. One buyer who had considered Didomi put it bluntly on Hacker News: "Their product was alright, but their sales cycle was a pain in the ass." Every alternative on this page lists its prices, and five of six offer a free plan or a 14-day trial.
Your bill tracks your audience
Didomi charges by monthly unique visitors (MUV), with unlimited domains. That's a real plus for a media group. But a viral story or a busy season pushes the count up, and your renewal follows. Before you shop around, ask Didomi for twelve months of MUV data. It's the only fair baseline for comparing quotes.
Useful features sit in the top tiers
Preference management is priced separately by database size and API calls. Compliance monitoring is billed per scan. White labeling is "on request". If all you run is the cookie banner, you're paying for a platform to use one module.
Built for publishers and large accounts
Didomi sells three quote-only plans, with no published entry tier. TCF vendor lists, per-country rules and mobile SDKs matter to a news publisher selling programmatic ads. For a SaaS marketing site or a Shopify store, that setup is heavy.
No trial to compare
Didomi offers no free trial of its CMP. Only Addingwell, its server-side tagging product, has a free plan (100,000 requests). Usercentrics, consentmanager, iubenda, CookieYes and Cookiebot all give you 14 days. You can build the new banner on a staging site before you sign anything.
It's the price, not the support
Didomi is a solid CMP, Google-certified and TCF-compatible. The tool itself is rarely the problem; the quote-only bill usually is. If price is your only issue, try renegotiating first with your MUV report and two competing quotes in hand. Switching takes real work too.
You're leaving because… go with…
The right Didomi alternative depends on what's pushing you out. Usually one row fits. Each card jumps to the full write-up.

Didomi alternatives, tool by tool
For each tool: why switch to it, who it's for, its limit, how to move from Didomi, and what it costs. All six are on Google's list of certified CMPs, which you need to serve personalized ads through AdSense or Ad Manager to visitors in Europe. Prices are what each vendor lists in 2026, before tax, in dollars when the vendor shows dollars.
Usercentrics: several sites, billed per session
Multi-siteWhy switch to Usercentrics. Like Didomi, it counts traffic rather than pages, but the prices are public. Pro includes 3 domains and TCF for €30 a month (15,000 sessions). Business covers 10 domains for €50 a month (50,000 sessions). Past one million sessions, the Corporate plan goes to a yearly quote with unlimited domains, which is the tier closest to a Didomi contract.
Who it's for. Mid-size companies with several sites or brands, plus a mobile app (the App CMP starts at €49 a month).
Who it's not for. A publisher with millions of sessions. You're back to a quote.
The limit. A session isn't a unique visitor. A reader who comes back three times in a month counts three times. Multiply your Didomi MUV by your average visit frequency before you pick a tier. Prices are listed in euros only, even on the US site.
How to switch. Use the 14-day trial (no card) to build the banner on staging. Usercentrics also owns Cookiebot. They're separate products with separate pricing.
- Free
- 1,000 sessions, 1 domain
- Paid
- from €7/mo, TCF from €30
- Trial
- 14 days, no card
- Limit
- sessions, not visitors
CookieYes: the small site with no budget
Free planWhy switch to CookieYes. If Didomi costs more than your site earns, CookieYes is free up to 5,000 pageviews a month. Basic is $10 a month ($100 a year) for 100,000 pageviews. The WordPress plugin installs in minutes.
Who it's for. Marketing sites, blogs and small stores without programmatic ads.
Who it's not for. A publisher selling ads. TCF starts on Pro.
The limit. Pricing is per domain. TCF needs Pro at $25 a month ($250 a year) for 300,000 pageviews. Overage runs $0.30 per extra 1,000 pageviews.
How to switch. 14-day trial on paid plans. Run the scan, check each cookie lands in the right category, then remove Didomi.
- Free
- 5,000 pageviews/mo
- Paid
- from $10/mo
- TCF
- Pro, $25/mo
- Limit
- priced per domain
iubenda: banner and legal policies in one place
All-in-oneWhy switch to iubenda. Didomi handles consent, not your legal documents. iubenda does both: the cookie banner plus privacy and cookie policy generators that the vendor keeps updated. TCF is included on every plan, which is rare at this price.
Who it's for. Small businesses, freelancers and stores without in-house counsel who want a single subscription.
Who it's not for. High-traffic sites. Quotas fill up fast.
The limit. Essentials is $5.99 a month billed yearly ($6.99 monthly) for 25,000 pageviews, Advanced $24.99 for 50,000, Ultimate $99.99 for 150,000. Above the quota, iubenda charges €0.05 per 1,000 pageviews (it gives no dollar rate).
How to switch. 14-day trial. Generate your cookie policy first, then connect the banner so both stay in sync.
- Trial
- 14 days
- Paid
- from $5.99/mo yearly
- TCF
- every plan
- Limit
- small pageview quotas
consentmanager: heavy traffic, small bill
High trafficWhy switch to consentmanager. The German vendor sells pageviews in bulk. Essential gives you 1 million pageviews a month with TCF for $64 (€59), then €0.05 per extra 1,000. For an ad-funded content site, that's often the lowest price on this page.
Who it's for. Content sites and smaller publishers between 100,000 and a few million pageviews a month.
Who it's not for. A small site. There's no free plan, and Starter is $25 a month.
The limit. Starter (100,000 pageviews) doesn't list TCF, so programmatic ads need Essential. The interface is less guided than Axeptio or CookieYes.
How to switch. 14-day trial on paid plans. Run the new banner on a copy of your site, compare the consent signals sent to Google with Didomi's, then cut over.
- Free
- no, 14-day trial
- Paid
- from $25/mo
- TCF
- Essential, $64/mo
- Limit
- no free plan
Axeptio: a polished European banner, public prices
EU vendorWhy switch to Axeptio. Like Didomi, Axeptio is a French company, but its pricing is public and the same in dollars, pounds and euros. The banner design is its strong point, and Google Consent Mode v2 works from the free plan.
Who it's for. Brands and stores with EU traffic that care how the banner looks.
Who it's not for. A media group with dozens of domains. Each plan covers one domain.
The limit. TCF and cookie scanning start on Small, $29 a month or $313 a year for 5,000 monthly pageviews. Extra Small ($90 a year) has no TCF. Medium is $69 a month for 100,000 pageviews. Our Labs score: 3.7 out of 5, the same on every page.
How to switch. Rebuild your purposes and vendors in the Axeptio project, then swap the Didomi tag in Google Tag Manager for Axeptio's template.
- Labs score
- 3.7/5
- Free
- 200 visitors/mo
- Paid
- from $90/yr
- Limit
- TCF from Small
Cookiebot: only with four domains or more
Per domainWhy switch to Cookiebot. It's one of the most widely used CMPs, Google-certified, with no long contract. With four or more domains, Small costs €15 a month per domain for up to 350 subpages.
Who it's for. Companies running several small sites that need TCF (included on every Premium plan).
Who it's not for. A publisher. Price depends on how many subpages the scan finds, and a news site has thousands.
The limit. With one to three domains, any site over 50 subpages lands on Medium at €30 a month per domain. You don't pick the tier: it follows the highest page count the scan has seen. Our Cookiebot switch guide covers the traps.
How to switch. 14-day trial on one domain, no card. Declare every subdomain you need, since each one counts as a domain.
- Free
- 50 subpages, 1 domain
- Paid
- from €7/mo
- Trial
- 14 days, no card
- Limit
- priced by page count
The 6 alternatives side by side
Every tool counts something different: Didomi counts unique visitors, Usercentrics sessions, the rest pageviews or subpages. For a ballpark, take one site with 100,000 pageviews a month that needs TCF: CookieYes Pro is $25, iubenda Essentials $5.99 plus €3.75 of overage (75 extra blocks of 1,000 at €0.05), consentmanager Essential $64, Axeptio Medium $69. The table shows the free option and the first price with TCF.
| Free or trial | Price and TCF | |
|---|---|---|
| DidomiWhere you start | No CMP trial | Quote only, by monthly unique visitors; unlimited domains; TCF 2.3 |
| UsercentricsMulti-site | 1,000 sessions; 14-day trial | From €7/mo; TCF from Pro, €30 (3 domains) |

Switch from Didomi in eight steps
Order matters. Each step protects something: your proof in case of an audit, your ad revenue, your analytics.
List what Didomi actually does for you
Day 1Write down every domain, mobile app, banner (one per country or language), purpose, TCF vendor, and paid add-on (preferences, monitoring). Pull twelve months of MUV too.
You'll use that sheet twice: to get comparable quotes, and as your checklist on cutover day.
- Time
- half a day
- If rushed
- a site left with no banner
Export and archive your consent proofs
CriticalDidomi keeps consent proofs for five years and makes them retrievable 24 hours after each choice. Request a full export through the API, or turn on the daily batch export (users, events, proofs), and download your notice versions too.
Catch: batch export doesn't work with a multi-regulation setup. If you run several regulations (GDPR plus US state laws, say), use the API, and do it before the contract ends.
- Kept by Didomi
- 5 years
- Archive size
- up to 4 GB per part
Read your contract before you tell Didomi
Find the renewal date, the notice period, and what happens to your data at the end. Plan for the new banner to be live before that date, with two to four weeks of margin.
If you end up staying, your MUV report and two competing quotes are your best negotiating tools.
- Margin
- 2 to 4 weeks
Rebuild purposes, vendors and copy
Recreate your purposes and TCF vendor list exactly. A missing vendor stops receiving consent and stops bidding on your ad slots.
Keep the same banner copy if legal already signed off on it. That leaves one review instead of two.
- If rushed
- lower ad revenue
Replace Didomi in Google Tag Manager and code
Search for every trace: the SDK script, GTM triggers listening to Didomi events, variables reading the didomi_token cookie, mobile SDKs. Point each trigger to the new tool.
Set Consent Mode v2 defaults before any Google tag fires, or GA4 and Google Ads get partial signals.
- Look for
- SDK, GTM triggers, didomi_token
Test on a staging copy
Run the new banner on staging during the free trial. Check five cases: first visit, reject all, accept all, partial choice, returning visitor. Watch the network tab to confirm nothing fires before a choice.
Under GDPR guidance, rejecting must be as easy as accepting, so keep both buttons on the first layer.
- Cases to check
- 5
Cut over in one go, never two CMPs at once
Go-liveRemove Didomi and publish the new banner in the same GTM release. Two live CMPs send conflicting signals to ad partners and show two banners.
Every visitor sees the new banner once. That's the fresh consent collection Didomi itself recommends when changing CMPs.
- Visible effect
- banner shows once more
Watch consent rate and revenue
For two to four weeks, compare your opt-in rate, GA4 sessions and, if you sell ads, revenue per thousand pageviews. A sharp drop usually means a missing vendor or a trigger you didn't repoint.
Keep the Didomi archive for as long as anyone could ask for proof from that period.
- Time
- 2 to 4 weeks

What makes a Didomi switch go wrong
The mistakes are rarely technical. They're things people forget, and each one costs revenue or leaves a gap in your proof.
Canceling before you have the proofs
A full API export can take time on a large base. Start it the day you decide, not in the contract's last week.
Comparing different units
Unique visitors, sessions, pageviews and subpages aren't the same. 100,000 visitors can mean 300,000 pageviews. Convert your Didomi numbers with GA4 before reading a pricing grid.
Forgetting TCF
If you sell ads through Google, your CMP must be certified and run TCF. At Axeptio, CookieYes, consentmanager and Usercentrics, the entry plans don't include it.
Dropping a vendor
An ad partner missing from the new list gets no consent. Compare both lists line by line before cutover.
Forgetting the apps
If Didomi also runs in your apps, you need a new release in both stores. Plan it before the contract ends.
Skipping the bigger picture
If you're leaving a full privacy suite rather than just a banner, our OneTrust switch guide and our GDPR software for small businesses ranking cover the rest.
- Inventory of domains, apps, banners and vendors
- Twelve months of MUV data
- Consent proofs and notice versions exported
- Renewal date and notice period noted
- TCF vendors rebuilt exactly
- GTM triggers repointed, Consent Mode defaults set
- Five cases checked on staging
- One CMP live on cutover day
- Opt-in rate and revenue tracked for four weeks
Didomi alternatives: frequently asked questions
How much does Didomi cost?
Didomi doesn't publish prices. Essential, Advanced and Premium are sold by quote, based on monthly unique visitors, with unlimited domains. Figures on directory sites are outdated, so get a quote on your real traffic.
Does Didomi have a free plan or free trial?
No. Didomi has neither a free plan nor a CMP trial. For free options, CookieYes covers 5,000 pageviews a month, Usercentrics 1,000 sessions and Axeptio 200 visitors. Our consent management ranking goes further.
Didomi vs OneTrust: which is better?
Both are enterprise tools sold by quote. Didomi focuses on consent and preferences, with strong publisher features. OneTrust sells a wider privacy suite. If you're leaving OneTrust instead, read our OneTrust switch guide.
Can I move my Didomi consents to another tool?
No tool imports another's proofs. You export and archive the Didomi proofs, then the new banner collects fresh consent. Didomi itself recommends that when switching CMPs.
What's the best Didomi alternative for publishers?
consentmanager for heavy traffic on a fixed budget (1 million pageviews with TCF for $64 a month), or Usercentrics if you run several sites. Both are Google-certified and support TCF.
Do I need a Google-certified CMP?
Yes, if you serve personalized ads through AdSense, Ad Manager or AdMob to visitors in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland. Without one, Google serves only limited ads there. All six tools here are on the list.
What is the cheapest Didomi alternative with TCF?
iubenda includes TCF on every plan, from $5.99 a month billed yearly for 25,000 pageviews. CookieYes Pro ($25 a month, 300,000 pageviews) is the next step up when traffic grows.
How long does switching from Didomi take?
Didomi says a CMP migration takes a few days to a few weeks. Add two to four weeks of monitoring after cutover, and more if mobile apps need a store release.
