What Cookiebot, CookieYes, Termly, Complianz, OneTrust and TrustArc really cost — next to Let's Consent, which is always €0. With paid CMPs, the pricing metric matters more than the sticker price: each vendor counts something different, so the "cheapest" one depends entirely on your site's shape. We removed the metric.
