Consently is a cross-platform hosted consent management platform that runs on any site via one script. Consentmo is the leading Built-for-Shopify consent and accessibility app, trusted by 90,000-plus merchants with a 5.0 rating across 1,856 App Store reviews. Both cover GDPR, CCPA, and Google Consent Mode v2. The right answer depends almost entirely on whether your store lives on Shopify or not. Consentmo wins the Shopify-native buyer. Consently wins anyone off Shopify, on multiple platforms, or wanting every feature included on one flat plan.
Consently vs Consentmo: Which Should You Choose?
Consentmo is the stronger overall pick and scores 4.1 out of 5 in our review. Consently scores 3.7 out of 5. Consentmo earns its higher score on Shopify-native depth, certifications, a generous free tier, and a near-perfect review base. Consently outperforms on pricing structure, feature packaging, and platform reach.
If you are on Shopify only, Consentmo is the better choice for most stores, especially at the free or Standard tier. If you run any non-Shopify site, manage sites across platforms, or want IAB TCF and three policy generators included on the entry plan, Consently wins.
Both scores come from the same seven-dimension rubric, weighted by what a CMP buyer relies on most. The scorecard below shows where each product earns its number:
| Dimension (weight) | Consently | Consentmo |
|---|---|---|

What Is Consentmo?
Consentmo is the leading Built-for-Shopify cookie-consent and web-accessibility app, with 90,000-plus merchants and a 5.0 rating across 1,856 Shopify App Store reviews. Founded in 2019, it runs entirely inside the Shopify admin. It bundles a geotargeted cookie banner, an AI-powered tracker scanner, certified Google and Microsoft Consent Mode, consent records, and a full web-accessibility suite.
Its core mechanism is deep Shopify-nativeness. It installs from the Shopify App Store in three steps with no theme edits and bills through the Shopify invoice. It integrates with Shopify-specific surfaces, including checkout pages, customer accounts, and Hydrogen headless storefronts. It holds the Built-for-Shopify badge, Google-Certified CMP (Silver) status, Microsoft-Certified CMP status, IAB TCF 2.3 support (Enterprise tier), and ISO 27001 certification earned in 2026. Support is frequently singled out by reviewers as the product's standout strength.

What Is Consently?
Consently is an all-in-one hosted consent management platform built by Dorik, Inc., the profitable website-builder company operating since 2020. It runs on any platform that accepts a head script. A single hosted account manages WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, and custom or React sites without a separate install per ecosystem.
Its core idea is feature completeness at every tier. Every plan includes IAB TCF 2.3, Google Consent Mode v2, full scanning, auto-blocking, consent logs, and three policy generators. Pricing scales by capacity, not by feature unlocks: Basic $99/year for one domain, Premium $199/year for five domains, Enterprise $499/year for ten domains. Every plan comes with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required.
Consently launched in October 2025 and is about eight months old. Its review base is thin: roughly 27 AppSumo reviews at approximately 4.0/5. It has no Shopify App Store native app and no free-forever tier. Being honest about that matters before you commit.
Platform Support: Shopify-Native App vs Cross-Platform Hosted CMP
This is the comparison's decisive axis. Consentmo is a Shopify-only app. It has no WordPress plugin, no Wix embed, no Webflow integration, and no version for any custom site. Nothing on its website or documentation references another platform. Its only distribution is the Shopify App Store. The moment a store runs on anything else, Consentmo cannot help.
Consently runs on every platform that accepts a script tag in the head:
- WordPress (including WooCommerce)
- Shopify
- Wix, Squarespace, and Framer
- Webflow
- Custom HTML, React, and single-page applications
- Any platform that allows a head script or Google Tag Manager
On a Shopify-only store, Consentmo's nativeness is genuinely hard to beat. It delivers a Shopify-native depth a hosted script cannot replicate:
- A three-step install with no theme edits
- Shopify-invoice billing
- A checkout banner for Shopify Plus
- Customer-account placement and Hydrogen headless support
- Direct integration with the Shopify Customer Privacy API
The verdict shifts the moment a non-Shopify or mixed-platform site is involved. Consentmo cannot run there at all. Consently handles it from the same account.
Pricing: Per-Store Shopify Tiers vs Flat Multi-Domain Plans
Consentmo prices per Shopify store, billed through the Shopify invoice. Consently prices by capacity across domains on any platform. The right comparison depends on your stack and how many sites you manage.
Consentmo Pricing
All plans include unlimited impressions. There is no pageview cap or impression limit at any tier. Pricing is per store, billed through Shopify:
- Free ($0): banner, GPC, Google and Microsoft Consent Mode v2, script blocking (Google, Meta, Microsoft), DSAR pages, 1 language, 1 scan/month, basic styling. No policy generators.
- Standard ($9/month, $7.50/month annual): unlimited scans, AI cookie categorization, full CSS, exportable consent records, multi-region compliance, integrations scanner, no Consentmo branding.
- Plus ($34/month, $28.33/month annual, "Most Popular"): smart geotargeting (282 regions), advanced analytics, automated monthly scans, native mobile banner, cross-domain consent sharing, web-accessibility suite, implied consent, Smart Privacy Center.
- Enterprise ($59/month, $49.16/month annual): IAB TCF 2.3, checkout banner (Shopify Plus only), Hydrogen integration, priority support, Tier 1 CDN, expert-assisted custom script blocking.
Paid plans come with a 7-day free trial. Live pricing at consentmo.com/pricing.
Consently Pricing
All features are included on every plan. Differences are domain count and pageview allowance only:
- Basic ($99/year): 1 domain, 100,000 pageviews/month, all features including IAB TCF, three policy generators, live chat.
- Premium ($199/year): 5 domains, 1,000,000 pageviews/month, multi-site dashboard, priority support, all features.
- Enterprise ($499/year): 10 domains, 3,000,000 pageviews/month, multi-site dashboard, priority support, all features.
Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. See Consently's flat multi-domain pricing for the full tier breakdown.
Which Is Cheaper for Your Setup?
For a single Shopify store: Consentmo is cheaper and often free. The $0 free tier delivers a compliant banner with Consent Mode v2 and GPC. Even Plus at $34/month ($408/year) gives you deep Shopify-native features at a lower price than Consently's Basic tier for one domain.
For any non-Shopify site: Consentmo costs nothing because it cannot run there. Consently is the only option.
For multiple sites across platforms: Consently's flat $199/year covers five domains on any platform, with all features included. That usually wins versus paying Consentmo per Shopify store and still topping up to Plus or Enterprise for IAB TCF and analytics. If those five sites mix WordPress, Wix, and one Shopify store, Consentmo cannot cover three of them.
Features on Every Plan vs Tier-Gated Features
Consently's sharpest packaging edge is what is included on every plan from $99/year. Every plan carries IAB TCF 2.3, Google Consent Mode v2, full scanning, auto-blocking, consent logs with export, 35-language banners, geotargeting, and all three policy generators. No features are gated by tier.
Consentmo gates core capabilities by tier:
- Enterprise-only ($59/month): IAB TCF 2.3
- Plus and above ($34/month+): smart geotargeting, advanced analytics, native mobile banner, web-accessibility suite, implied consent, cross-domain consent sharing, Smart Privacy Center
- Standard and above ($9/month+): unlimited scans, AI categorization, consent-record export, full CSS customization
Consentmo's free tier is still genuinely usable for a basic Shopify GDPR setup. It delivers a compliant banner, Consent Mode v2, GPC, and DSAR pages at no cost. That is more than Consently offers at the free level (Consently has no free-forever plan). But reaching the features most international stores need, including geotargeting, analytics, and IAB TCF, requires Plus or Enterprise on Consentmo.
Cookie Scanning, Blocking, and Reliability
Both tools scan for cookies, scripts, pixels, and iframes, and both block non-essential trackers before consent. The depth and reliability differ.
Consentmo's AI Tracker Manager claims 98-plus percent categorization accuracy across cookies, scripts, tracking pixels, local storage, and iframes. It is a technically deep scanner backed by a 5.0/1,856 review base, and it is well-regarded within the Shopify ecosystem. However, a minority of current App Store reviewers report pixel and retargeting breakage after install or during uninstall. Some report retargeting performance dropping significantly after enabling the app. One merchant describes $500 in professional support costs to repair orphaned pixel code after uninstall. These reports are a minority pattern across a very large base. They are also current, recurring across independent reviewers, and specific to ad-driven stores. Some practitioners on forums recommend starting with Shopify's native banner precisely because they find third-party Shopify CMP apps more fragile than expected.
Consently runs full-site, weekly scheduled, and on-demand scans from the cloud, with auto-blocking of scripts and iframes before consent. There is a documented script-leak edge case: some third-party widgets can partially execute before consent unless wrapped manually. An advanced script-blocking improvement is in progress. The cloud-hosted architecture means there is nothing in the Shopify or site app stack to conflict with tracking or pixel behavior.
For an ad-driven Shopify store, retargeting revenue is at stake. Evaluate the reliability gap directly with Consentmo's support before committing to a higher tier.
Compliance Coverage, Certifications, and Policy Generators
Both cover GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, PIPEDA, POPIA, APPI, and Google Consent Mode v2. The certification and GPC picture differs.
Consentmo holds a stronger certification set: Google-Certified CMP (Silver status), Microsoft-Certified CMP, IAB TCF 2.3 (Enterprise tier), and ISO/IEC 27001 earned in 2026. It honors Global Privacy Control (GPC) on the free plan and up, honoring opt-out signals for CCPA and US state laws automatically.
Consently holds Google Additional Consent (AC v2) certification. Its Google CMP Partner listing is pending and not yet approved. It does not currently support GPC signal detection. IAB TCF is on every plan, which is the meaningful every-plan packaging edge (versus Consentmo's Enterprise gate at $59/month).
The policy-generator split is clear. Consently ships three generators (cookie policy, privacy policy, and terms of service) on every plan. Consentmo ships none. It offers DSAR pages and an accessibility-statement generator but no privacy or cookie policy generator. Most sites that need a cookie banner also need a privacy policy. Consently includes it; Consentmo does not.
Consentmo's web-accessibility suite (an accessibility widget with 30-plus modes, an alt-text scanner, and an accessibility-statement generator) is a feature Consently does not offer. That is a genuine scope difference, not a Consentmo weakness.
Setup, Support, and Track Record
Consentmo installs from the Shopify App Store in three documented steps with no theme file edits. It offers 24/7 live chat and email across every plan, with priority support on Enterprise. Its support reputation is the single most-praised attribute in its review base. Reviewers describe support staff by name and cite cases where Consentmo's team resolved issues that the platform vendor itself could not fix. That track record runs seven years, across 90,000-plus merchants, at a 5.0 rating from 1,856 reviews.
Consently installs via a one-line script in any platform's head tag. Paste it in, run a scan, and publish a banner. AppSumo reviewers describe being live in under 30 minutes with minimal configuration. Live chat is on every plan. The honest limit: Consently launched in October 2025 and has roughly 27 AppSumo reviews at approximately 4.0/5. It has no G2, Capterra, or Trustpilot base yet. On track record and proven support reputation, Consentmo is clearly ahead today.
Consently vs Consentmo: The Verdict
Consentmo scores 4.1 out of 5 overall. Consently scores 3.7 out of 5. Consentmo is the higher-scoring product.
Choose Consentmo in these cases.
- Your store lives entirely on Shopify and you want the most-trusted, deeply native consent app in the App Store
- You want a free-forever plan that already covers GPC, Consent Mode v2, and script blocking at $0
- You need Shopify-specific surfaces: checkout banner, customer-account placement, Hydrogen headless, or Shopify Customer Privacy API integration
- You want a built-in web-accessibility suite (ADA/WCAG/EAA widget, alt-text scanner, statement generator) inside the same app
- You value a 7-year track record, a 5.0-star base of 1,856 reviews, and a support team with a documented reputation
Choose Consently in these cases.
- You run any non-Shopify site (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, or a custom site) where Consentmo cannot run
- You manage sites across multiple platforms and want one hosted account, one dashboard, and one set of consent logs
- You want IAB TCF, Consent Mode v2, scanning, and three policy generators on the entry plan, not gated behind $59/month Enterprise
- You manage five or more sites and want flat $199/year per-year pricing across any platform mix
- You want a clean cloud-hosted setup with no app-stack conflicts with your Shopify or site tracking
On cross-platform and multi-platform segments: Consentmo's score is 1.0 on cross-platform reach. That gates it out of any decision where operating off Shopify is a requirement. Consently wins those segments by the decisive-capability gate, despite the lower Layer-1 overall. The segment winner for any non-Shopify or mixed-platform setup is Consently. That holds even though Consentmo is the stronger product by the general overall.

FAQs
Is Consently better than Consentmo?
Not universally. Consentmo scores higher overall (4.1 vs 3.7) and is the better pick for a Shopify-only store, especially at the free and Standard tiers. Consently is better for any non-Shopify site, multi-platform portfolios, and buyers who want every feature on the entry plan. That includes IAB TCF and three policy generators, with no upgrade to Enterprise required.
Does Consentmo work on non-Shopify sites like WordPress, Wix, or Webflow?
No. Consentmo is a Shopify-only app distributed through the Shopify App Store. It has no version for WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, or any custom or non-Shopify site. The site and documentation contain no references to any other platform. Consently runs on all of them via a single head script from one hosted account.
Is the free Consentmo plan enough for GDPR compliance?
For a small Shopify store's basic needs, yes. The free plan delivers a compliant banner, GPC, Consent Mode v2, script blocking, DSAR pages, and consent records at no cost, with unlimited impressions. The binding limits are one banner language and one scan per month. Advanced needs such as IAB TCF 2.3, smart geotargeting, analytics, consent-record export, and the accessibility suite require Standard ($9/month) through Enterprise ($59/month).
Is Consently cheaper than Consentmo for multiple sites?
For multiple sites across different platforms, usually yes. Consently's flat $199/year covers five domains on any platform with every feature included. Consentmo is priced per Shopify store and cannot cover non-Shopify sites at all. Five Shopify stores at Plus ($34/month each) cost $2,040/year, against Consently's $199/year for five domains. That gap is before IAB TCF, which needs Enterprise at $59/month per store on Consentmo. For a single Shopify store, Consentmo is cheaper and often free.
Can I migrate from Consentmo to Consently?
There is no one-click importer. Consently is a fresh setup: add your site's domain, install the one-line head script, run an automatic scan, configure your banner, and publish. Most users report being live in under 30 minutes. Live chat is available on every plan to guide you through the process.
Which has better support, Consently or Consentmo?
Both offer live chat on every plan. Consentmo's support has a far deeper, better-evidenced track record. It is the single most-praised attribute across 1,856 App Store reviews, with merchants citing cases where the team resolved issues other vendors could not. Consently offers live chat on all plans but is eight months old with a thin review base. On proven support reputation today, Consentmo leads clearly.
Does Consently support Google Consent Mode v2 and IAB TCF like Consentmo?
Yes, both support Google Consent Mode v2 and IAB TCF. Consently includes IAB TCF on every plan from $99/year. Consentmo gates IAB TCF 2.3 to its Enterprise tier at $59/month. Consentmo additionally holds Google CMP (Silver) and Microsoft-Certified CMP status and honors GPC signals, which Consently does not yet support.
