Consentfolio A Lighter OneTrust Alternative: Consentfolio
Consentfolio is a cookie banner and consent-records tool that works as a OneTrust alternative for small teams and agencies that need cookie consent, not an enterprise privacy suite. OneTrust is a broad platform sold by quote; Consentfolio does one job, costs £9 per domain per month, and goes live from a single script tag. Both block trackers until consent and support Google Consent Mode v2.
OneTrust does not publish pricing. It is quote-based and aimed at enterprise buyers, so expect a sales process rather than a self-serve sign-up.

When OneTrust is the better choice
OneTrust fits better if you need more than a cookie banner. It handles data subject access requests, data mapping, privacy impact assessments and third-party risk across a large organisation. If you have a privacy or DPO team running a full compliance programme, that breadth is the point, and a cookie tool alone will not cover it.
OneTrust also carries the certifications and framework support that large publishers and ad-tech operations require.
When Consentfolio fits
Consentfolio suits teams that want cookie consent handled well, without the platform around it:
- Published, per-domain pricing and a self-serve sign-up, rather than a sales process.
- Setup in minutes from one script tag, rather than an implementation project.
- Exportable consent records per domain, ready to show the ICO. See how to prove cookie consent.
- Agency billing handoff: set up a client's banner, keep control, and let the client pay. See cookie consent for agencies.
Frequently asked questions
How much does OneTrust cost? OneTrust does not publish pricing. It is quote-based and priced for enterprise, so you request a quote through their sales team.
Is Consentfolio a full privacy platform like OneTrust? No. Consentfolio does cookie consent and consent records. It does not handle DSAR automation, data mapping or vendor risk. If you need those, OneTrust or a similar suite fits better.
Can I move cookie consent from OneTrust to Consentfolio? Yes, for the cookie banner and records. Replace the OneTrust cookie script with the Consentfolio tag. Keep OneTrust for any other privacy modules you rely on.
Is Consentfolio a Google-certified CMP? No. It supports Google Consent Mode v2 for GA4 and Google Ads, but it is not certified for AdSense or Ad Manager, and it is not TCF-registered. OneTrust is certified, so large publishers usually need it.
