iubenda prices its cookie banner by pageviews: Essentials costs €4.99 per site per month billed yearly for 25,000 pageviews, Advanced €19.99 for 50,000 and Ultimate €79.99 for 150,000, with €0.05 per extra 1,000 pageviews on every plan, and geo-targeting only from Advanced. At 100,000 pageviews a month with geo-targeting, that is about €270 a year; Cookiequiet Starter costs €29 a year per website with no pageview limit and geo-targeting on every plan. iubenda remains the stronger choice when you need its legal documents in many languages or the IAB TCF.

## What does the overage add up to?

The yearly cost below uses the yearly-billed monthly price plus €0.05 per 1,000 pageviews above the plan's allowance, as the pricing page states.

| Monthly pageviews | iubenda Essentials (no geo-targeting) | iubenda Advanced (geo-targeting) | Cookiequiet Starter (geo-targeting) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25,000 | €59.88 | €239.88 | €29 |
| 100,000 | €104.88 (€4.99 + €3.75 a month) | €269.88 (€19.99 + €2.50) | €29 |
| 500,000 | €344.88 (€4.99 + €23.75) | €509.88 (€19.99 + €22.50) | €29 |
| 1,000,000 | €644.88 (€4.99 + €48.75) | €809.88 (€19.99 + €47.50) | €29 |

The Essentials column is cheaper than Advanced at every volume, but it has one language and no geo-targeting, so a site with visitors in several countries shows the same banner everywhere. The [cost calculator](/tools/cookie-banner-cost-calculator) runs these sums for your own traffic.

## What does iubenda do better?

Legal documents. iubenda's generator covers privacy policies, cookie policies and terms and conditions in many languages, with clauses for a long list of services, and it is the product many European agencies standardise on. Its Consent Mode works "even on the free plan" according to its FAQ, and its documentation describes automatic blocking switched on by default for new installations, while also calling it experimental.

One setting to check if you stay: iubenda's advanced configuration guide documents the Reject button as hidden by default (rejectButtonDisplay is false), while noting that the configurator's output may differ. Under the CNIL's and the EDPB taskforce's reading, Reject all belongs on the first layer; see the [Reject all guide](/guides/reject-all-button).

## Why do pageview tiers hurt on a consent tool?

Because the banner cannot switch off when the allowance runs out. Page 25,001 needs the same Reject all button and the same blocking as page 1, so a site on Essentials does not stop at its limit: it pays €0.05 per 1,000 for every extra pageview. That is cheap per unit and expensive in aggregate. A blog that has one month at 400,000 pageviews after a press mention adds €18.75 to that month's bill on Essentials, for a banner that cost the vendor the same to serve. A shop with steady traffic of 200,000 pageviews pays €8.75 a month in overage on top of the €4.99 plan, which is more than the plan itself. Flat per-site pricing removes that meter; the trade-off is that a very small site with fewer than 25,000 pageviews and no need for geo-targeting pays €4.99 on iubenda Essentials and €3 or nothing on Cookiequiet, a difference too small to decide the choice alone.

## How do you move from iubenda without losing anything?

1. Download or copy your iubenda documents, or regenerate them, before cancelling: hosted policies stop at the end of the subscription.
2. Keep your iubenda consent records for the period they cover; consents do not transfer between tools, and visitors will be asked once more.
3. Replace the iubenda snippet with one tag placed before your other scripts, then run a scan to see which scripts still load before consent.

## Who should pick which?

- **Stay on iubenda** if you need terms and conditions and policies in many languages, or the TCF.
- **Termly or Termageddon** if the documents come first and your traffic stays under their limits.
- **Cookiebot** if you need the TCF and want no traffic ceiling.
- **Cookiequiet** if the banner, geo-targeting and a privacy and cookie policy matching your actual cookies are what you need, with no pageview meter. Setup is one script tag before your other scripts, no plugin or tag-manager configuration needed; the scan fills the cookie table and prefills the policies, Reject all is on by default and Consent Mode v2 is switched on in the snippet the dashboard gives you. Steps for moving are in [switching from iubenda](/guides/switch-from-iubenda), and the [pricing page](/pricing) lists the plans.
