Complianz alternative: CookieHub vs Complianz
Complianz is a WordPress plugin. It runs on your own server, is licensed per site and has no traffic limits. CookieHub is a hosted consent platform that works on any website, with a WordPress plugin for WordPress sites.
Both are Google-certified CMPs registered with the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework. The choice mostly comes down to whether all your sites run on WordPress.
This page compares the two using each vendor's own website, checked on 24 September 2026.
The short version
Choose Complianz if your sites all run on WordPress and you want a flat yearly price per site with no traffic limits, consent records stored on your own server, and privacy statements and other legal documents generated inside WordPress.
Choose CookieHub if not all your sites run on WordPress, or you want one dashboard for WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow and custom-built sites alike, with 62 banner languages built in rather than supplied through translation plugins.

Pricing
Complianz sells yearly licences by number of sites: Personal is $59 a year for one site, Professional $179 for five and Agency $399 for 25. Traffic and consent records are not limited. If you do not renew, the plugin keeps running, but you can no longer change its configuration or legal documents, and the TCF stops working.
CookieHub is priced per domain by sessions: Starter $7 a month for 5,000 sessions, Basic $12 for 30,000, Business $35 for 120,000. Paying yearly gets you 12 months for the price of 11.
For a single WordPress site, Complianz Premium costs less, especially if you need the IAB TCF: $59 a year, against $385 a year for CookieHub Business. The difference narrows, or reverses, if you have sites on other platforms, which Complianz does not cover with the same product, or if you would rather not run and update the consent layer inside WordPress itself.
Where Complianz is stronger
A fair comparison has to include these:
Price for WordPress sites:
A flat yearly licence per site, with no limit on traffic or consent records.
Data on your own server:
Complianz runs inside WordPress, and records of consent are stored in your own database.
Legal documents:
Premium generates privacy statements for several regions, an Impressum, a disclaimer and more, inside WordPress.
WordPress ecosystem:
More than a million active installations on wordpress.org, and integrations with over 250 plugins and services.
When CookieHub is the better fit
Sites on more than one platform:
One account and one dashboard for WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow, Squarespace and custom-built sites.
Languages built in:
62 professionally translated banner languages, with automatic detection, from Basic. No translation plugin needed.
Consent features on the free plan:
Google Consent Mode v2, Global Privacy Control and a consent log are included on every CookieHub plan, the Free plan included.
Consent handled outside WordPress:
The banner, scanner and consent log are hosted, so a WordPress update or plugin conflict does not affect them. The CookieHub WordPress plugin supports the WP Consent API.
Switching from Complianz
CookieHub builds its own cookie list from a scan, so there is nothing to export first.
Create an account:
Start the free trial and add your domain. CookieHub scans the site and sorts the cookies it finds into categories.
Review the categories and design:
Check the categorization, pick a banner template and set your colours and languages.
Swap the script:
Replace the Complianz script with the CookieHub script, or use the CookieHub template in Google Tag Manager. Remove Complianz completely so two banners never run at once.
Check the result:
Run the Google Consent Mode checker to confirm consent signals reach Google.
Expect one new prompt:
Consent stored by Complianz is kept in its own cookie, which CookieHub cannot read. Returning visitors are asked once more.
