Cookiequiet vs Termageddon: a policy subscription with a banner, or a banner with policies
Pick Cookiequiet if the banner, the consent log and geo-targeting are what you need and you want them for $0, or $29 a year per site on Starter, with no session ceiling. Pick Termageddon if your priority is a full set of policies (privacy policy, terms, disclaimer, EULA, cookie policy) that update themselves when laws change, written for many US state laws as well as the GDPR, and the included banner is a bonus.

Pricing
Termageddon sells one license per website. On 2026-10-21 its pricing page listed $12 a month or $119 a year per website, and the license covers every generator it offers (privacy policy, terms and conditions, disclaimer, EULA, cookie policy) with automatic updates when laws change, email notifications, and a cookie consent solution. That banner is "powered by Usercentrics", and Termageddon's page says a site that consistently exceeds 50,000 sessions a month will be prompted to upgrade to a paid Usercentrics subscription. Agencies get a complimentary set of policies for their own websites. There is no free plan.
Cookiequiet is free for one website with unlimited pageviews and geo-targeting. Starter is $3 per website per month or $29 a year, and Pro, with the AI design agent, $9 per website per month or $99 a year (the same figures in euros).
| Websites | Termageddon, per year | Cookiequiet, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $119 | $0 (Free) or $29 (Starter) |
| 5 | $595 | $145 (Starter) or $495 (Pro) |
| 10 | $1,190 | $190 (Agency) |
The comparison is not like for like. Termageddon's price is mostly a policy subscription with a banner included. Cookiequiet's price is a banner and consent log with policy generators included. The cost calculator gives the Cookiequiet figure for any number of sites.
Policies
This is where Termageddon is strongest. It generates five documents, monitors privacy law changes and updates the policies, then emails you. Its cookie consent page lists the GDPR, the UK Data Protection Act, the ePrivacy Directive, the CPRA, PIPEDA, CIPA and Quebec Law 25 among the laws it targets.
Cookiequiet generates a privacy policy, a cookie policy and terms of use from a questionnaire prefilled by the scan, in English and French, written for the GDPR, the UK GDPR, ePrivacy, the CCPA/CPRA, the LGPD and the Swiss FADP, with the cookie table from the scan. These are templates, not legal advice. It does not generate a disclaimer or an EULA, and it does not email you when a law changes. See the privacy policy generator.
The banner
Termageddon's banner is the Usercentrics CMP under a Termageddon license, up to 50,000 sessions a month. Termageddon's WordPress plugin lets you pick which regions see the banner. Google Consent Mode v2 is supported through Usercentrics, and Termageddon's blog lists seven setup steps: update the Google Tag Manager script, add the Usercentrics tag template, enable the consent overview, add variables and triggers, update tags with the new triggers, enable Consent Mode in the Termageddon account, and test.
Cookiequiet's banner has Accept all and Reject all at the same size and weight on the first screen, by default. Geo-targeting is on every plan: everywhere, only in regulated countries, or a custom list, with a US opt-out notice and Global Privacy Control honored. The consent log keeps every choice 30 days on Free, 1 year on Starter and 5 years on Pro, with CSV export on Starter and Pro.
Neither Termageddon nor Cookiequiet appears on Google's list of certified CMPs under its own name; Usercentrics, which runs Termageddon's banner, does. If you show AdSense, Ad Manager or AdMob ads to EEA, UK or Swiss visitors, check with Termageddon whether its integration provides the IAB TCF before relying on it, as described in what the IAB TCF is.
Setup
Termageddon: answer the policy questionnaire, activate the banner when prompted, paste the embed code into the site header and test. Consent Mode v2 then takes the seven Tag Manager steps above.
Cookiequiet is one script tag placed before your other scripts, with no plugin or tag-manager configuration. The scan fills the cookie table and prefills the policies. Reject all is on by default, and Consent Mode v2 is one attribute on the same tag. Sign-up to a live banner takes about five minutes.
Where Termageddon is better
- Five policy documents, including a disclaimer and an EULA, updated automatically when laws change.
- Coverage of many US state laws in the policies, with email notices of changes.
- Free policies for agencies' own websites, and a reseller program.
Where Cookiequiet is better
- Price: $0, or $29 a year per site on Starter, against $119, and $145 against $595 for five sites.
- No session ceiling: Termageddon's banner asks for a paid Usercentrics plan past 50,000 sessions a month.
- Consent Mode v2 with one attribute instead of seven Tag Manager steps.
- Geo-targeting, a Reject all button by default and a consent log on the free plan.
Switching
Keep Termageddon for policies if you value the update service, and replace only the banner: remove its embed code, add the Cookiequiet tag before every other script, mark the scripts that must wait for consent with type="text/plain" data-cq-category="analytics", and run a scan. If you move policies too, generate them in Cookiequiet and replace the pages or links.
