CookieYes vs Cookiebot for a 50-Page Site: What the Price Actually Buys
Fifty pages is the exact size where Cookiebot and CookieYes stop looking interchangeable. Cookiebot's free tier covers one domain up to 50 subpages, and its first paid tier starts at about 7 to 8 euros a month. CookieYes is free up to 5,000 page views a month, with paid plans from about 8 to 9 euros a month for 100,000 page views. At 50 pages the two tools cost almost the same. Six months later, when the blog has 120 pages, they do not.
The difference is what each vendor meters. Cookiebot meters pages. CookieYes meters traffic. A content-heavy site pays Cookiebot more as it publishes more pages, whether or not anyone reads them. A high-traffic site pays CookieYes more as its audience grows, whether or not it publishes. The right choice depends on which of those two numbers moves faster on your site, and most teams buy before they check either one.
The two price lists, side by side
Cookiebot's published pricing runs from free for up to 50 subpages to roughly 7 to 90 euros a month as the page count climbs, with realistic small-business deployments landing on Premium Small or Medium at 15 to 30 euros per domain per month. CookieYes runs from free for 5,000 page views a month to about 9 euros a month for 100,000 page views, with 30 cents per 1,000 extra page views on paid plans. Both are Google-certified CMPs with IAB TCF support, so the compliance floor is the same. The price difference is a metering difference, not a quality difference.
The feature that decides the comparison is not on the pricing page's headline. It is the cheapest plan that includes the three features most teams actually rely on: geo-targeting, IAB TCF, and consent logs. On Cookiebot that is Premium Lite at about 8 dollars a month. On CookieYes it is the Pro plan at about 25 dollars a month. A team that buys CookieYes for the 9 dollar headline and then discovers geo-targeting costs extra has not saved anything. Check the three-feature price, not the entry price.
Where 50 pages lands you
At exactly 50 subpages, Cookiebot's free tier ends. Page 51 moves you to a paid plan, and every new post after that moves you up the tiers. A blog publishing two posts a day crosses 50 pages in a month and hits the higher tiers within a quarter. CookieYes does not care how many pages you have. It cares how many people load them. A 200-page blog with modest traffic can sit on CookieYes's cheapest paid plan indefinitely, while the same blog on Cookiebot climbs a tier every few months.
The reverse is true for a small site with a traffic spike. A 20-page site that goes viral for a week can blow past CookieYes's page-view allowance and pay overage, while Cookiebot would not notice. The question is not which tool is cheaper. It is which meter matches your growth: pages or people.
The growth trap to price before you buy
Run the numbers for a year, not a month. Take your current page count, add your publishing rate, and read the Cookiebot tier for month twelve. Take your current monthly page views, add your growth rate, and read the CookieYes tier for month twelve. Then add the three-feature test to both. The tool that wins month one often loses month twelve, and switching CMPs mid-year means migrating consent records, which is a project nobody budgets for. Pick the meter that grows slower on your site, and write the tier you will be on in a year into the purchase note before you buy.

Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper for a small site?
It depends on what you meter. Cookiebot is free up to 50 subpages and starts around 7 to 8 euros a month after that. CookieYes is free up to 5,000 page views and starts around 8 to 9 euros a month. A site with few pages and heavy traffic favors Cookiebot; a site with many pages and light traffic favors CookieYes.
What happens when my site grows past 50 pages on Cookiebot?
You move to a paid plan, and the price climbs with the subpage count, up to about 90 euros a month for the largest sites. Realistic small-business deployments land at 15 to 30 euros per domain per month. A blog publishing daily crosses the tiers within months.
Do both support Google Consent Mode v2?
Yes. Both are Google-certified CMPs, and both send the four Consent Mode v2 signals for EEA traffic. Certification is not the differentiator here; the metering model is.
Does either include IAB TCF on the cheapest plan?
Cookiebot includes TCF from its Premium Lite plan at about 8 dollars a month. CookieYes needs the Pro plan at about 25 dollars a month for the combination of geo-targeting, TCF, and consent logs. Check the three-feature price, not the entry price.
