Pick the path that fits
You probably need Cookie Information. CookieInspector doesn't replace your banner — but you can layer us on top for independent audit evidence. See "How to layer CookieInspector on top of Cookie Information" below.
Many teams pay for Cookie Information just to use the scanner. If you don't need a TCF-certified banner or consent logs, CookieInspector replaces the scanning component at a fraction of the cost.
Single-module Cookie Banner plans include 25,000 consents/mo. Business and Enterprise plans fold consents into a monthly action limit. Prices adjust automatically by 4% each year on subscription anniversary (with 30 days' notice for other changes). Detailed tiers are not published publicly; request a quote.
Free: 1 scan per domain, 1 page, 45s, summary-only. Pro/Team: $9.99/mo billed annually (or $11.99/mo monthly) — unlimited domains, AI insights, scheduled monitoring, up to 5 monitored sites, Notion/Confluence exports. Agency: custom.

CookieInspector does not replace the banner or the consent logs you rely on for enterprise audits.
Run an external scan per domain to capture what Cookie Information's scanner may not observe (e.g. marketing-added tags).
Turn on daily or weekly scans on the most sensitive domains.
Subscribe to notifications when new cookies, trackers, or regressions are detected between runs.
Export findings to Notion/Confluence and publish the verification badge for any domain you want to attest to visitors.
No — TCF certification applies to consent management platforms. CookieInspector is a scanner and monitor, not a CMP. If you need a TCF-certified CMP, keep Cookie Information.

Their scanner serves the banner. Ours is a headless audit engine that produces evidence on pre/post-consent behavior, Consent Mode signals, and tag behavior — independent of any CMP.
