Secure Privacy scores 3.9 out of 5 on our methodology and Consently scores 3.7, so Secure Privacy is the stronger product overall. That said, the better pick depends on your situation. Secure Privacy wins on governance depth, certifications, and review volume. Consently wins on flat multi-domain pricing, all-features-on-every-plan, and simplicity. For an agency running five client sites, the pricing math alone reverses the overall verdict. This page lays out both products honestly, scored against the same rubric, so you can decide.

Secure Privacy: Product Overview
Secure Privacy scores 3.9 out of 5. It is a certification-mature, governance-deep consent management platform founded in 2017. It pairs a cookie-consent CMP with a full privacy-governance suite covering DSAR, DPIA, vendor and risk management, and Article 30 records. It holds SOC 2 Type II, Google CMP Partner Gold Tier, and IAB TCF certification. Its review aggregates are the strongest in this comparison: 4.9/5 on G2 (115 reviews), 5.0/5 on Capterra (82 reviews), and 4.8/5 on Trustpilot (53 reviews). Its governance breadth makes it the right tool for mid-market and enterprise legal teams. Its per-domain billing makes it expensive for multi-site owners and agencies.

Consently: Product Overview
Consently scores 3.7 out of 5. It is an all-in-one CMP built by Dorik, Inc. and launched in October 2025. It bundles a cookie banner, weekly automatic scanning, auto-blocking, consent logs, and three policy generators (cookie, privacy, and terms) into one flat-priced tool. Its core wedge is economics: every feature ships on every plan, and multi-domain pricing is flat by account, not per domain. It is the younger, less-certified tool. The full Google CMP Partner listing is still pending, there is no SOC 2, and its review base is thin (roughly 25 AppSumo reviews, ~4.0/5). For cost-conscious multi-site owners and agencies, the pricing math is decisive.
Feature Comparison: Consently vs Secure Privacy
Compliance and Framework Coverage
Secure Privacy leads this dimension (4.5/5 vs Consently's 3.5/5). Secure Privacy holds SOC 2 Type II certification, Google CMP Partner Gold Tier, and IAB TCF certification. It covers 55+ privacy laws and 95+ countries. Consently covers GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, and related jurisdictions, and it holds Google AC v2 certification. The full Google CMP Partner listing is still pending, and there is no ISO 27001, 27701, or SOC 2.
For teams whose auditors demand third-party certification proof, Secure Privacy's credential stack is the clear winner. For SMBs that need GDPR and CCPA compliance rather than a SOC 2 audit trail, Consently's coverage is sufficient.
Cookie Scanning and Auto-Blocking
Secure Privacy's scanner leads here too (4.5/5 vs Consently's 3.0/5). Secure Privacy runs deep-site scans with automatic categorization, change monitoring, and compliance reports. Capterra reviewers single out "the advanced website scanner detecting and categorizing cookies, pixels, and trackers." Automatic pre-consent blocking starts on the Small plan ($15/domain/mo). Scan behind login is gated to Advanced ($249/domain/mo).
Consently runs weekly scheduled scans on all plans, detecting cookies, trackers, scripts, and iframes, with auto-blocking included across all tiers. The documented gap is prior blocking reliability. Some third-party scripts can partially execute before consent unless wrapped manually. The team has flagged "advanced script blocking" as still in progress on the public feedback board. The auto-scanning feature is praised for saving time, but the edge case is real and honestly documented.
For publishers and ad-tech teams who cannot afford a script leak, Secure Privacy's scanner is the safer choice today. For most SMBs, Consently's weekly scans and auto-blocking handle the job.
Banner, Customization, and Languages
Both products score 4.0/5 on banner and consent experience. Consently's banner offers four display styles: bar, box, popup, and full-screen. Customization runs deep, covering colors, fonts, custom CSS, font inheritance, and custom policy titles, with 35 banner languages and HTML lang detection. Secure Privacy's banner uses a drag-and-drop visual editor with a template gallery and brand matching. Its geotargeted consent flows serve GDPR opt-in for the EU and CCPA opt-out for US states, across 70+ banner languages. The honest gate on Secure Privacy: Custom CSS requires the Business plan ($59/domain/mo), and a white-label banner is Advanced-only ($249/domain/mo). On Consently, all customization is available from the entry plan. Secure Privacy's 70+ languages beat Consently's 35. Consently's entry-tier access to every customization feature beats Secure Privacy's gating.
Both products support explicit consent only, geotargeting, and region-appropriate consent flows.
Setup and Integrations
Consently scores 4.0/5 here; Secure Privacy scores 3.5/5. Consently's documented quick-start is a five-step, no-code path. The steps are:
- Add your site.
- Customize the banner.
- Install the one-line script (or use GTM, Cloudflare Zaraz, or the WordPress plugin).
- Run the initial scan.
- Publish.
Most users go live in under an hour. Secure Privacy's own documented quick-start is API and developer oriented, which creates friction for non-developer buyers. A third-party walkthrough (TermsFeed, May 2026) documents a no-code path that takes under 15 minutes, but Secure Privacy's own docs do not lead with it.
Integration breadth is comparable. Both support WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, WooCommerce, GTM, and major platforms via script install. Secure Privacy also supports HubSpot, Adobe Launch, and Tealium. Consently also supports Framer, Systeme.io, and Cloudflare Zaraz.
One honest note for Shopify stores: neither product offers a native Shopify app. Both rely on a head-script install or GTM.
Pricing and Value
This is the dimension that most often determines the winner for a specific buyer. Consently scores 4.5/5 here; Secure Privacy scores 2.5/5.
Secure Privacy bills per domain, per month, at every tier:
| Plan | Price per domain/mo | Consents/mo | Key gates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 500 | 10 domains, 1 legal template, manual blocking only, branding present |
| Small | $15 | 5,000 | IAB TCF 2.3, remove branding, auto-blocking, multi-language |
| Business | $59 | 50,000 | All 40+ templates, DSAR, privacy policies, cross-domain consent, Custom CSS |
| Advanced | $249 | 5,000,000 | Audit logs, scan behind login, SSO, white-label, dedicated manager |
| Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited | Custom SLA, global infrastructure, dedicated team |
All pricing from secureprivacy.ai/pricing, live-verified June 2026. Annual billing offers "2 months free" (G2 shows annual equivalents of $14/$49/$199 per domain). Each domain requires its own license; all domains on an account must be on the same subscription level.
Consently prices by account capacity, not per domain:
| Plan | Annual price | Domains | Pageviews/mo | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $99/yr | 1 | 100,000 | All features, live chat |
| Premium | $199/yr | 5 | 1,000,000 | All features, multi-site dashboard, priority support |
| Enterprise | $499/yr | 10 | 3,000,000 | All features, multi-site dashboard, priority support |
All pricing is from the Consently pricing page, live-verified June 2026. The trial runs 14 days, no credit card required, with no automatic upgrade at the pageview limit.
The multi-domain math is decisive. Five domains on Secure Privacy's Business tier runs 5 × $59 = $295/mo = $3,540/yr at monthly list prices (illustrative). The same five domains on Consently's Premium plan cost $199/yr flat. That is roughly 17× cheaper for an agency with five client sites. The G2 reviewer quote captures the single-domain case well: Secure Privacy is "the most cost-effective cookie compliance solution available" at the entry tier. At scale, the per-domain model stacks hard.
Secure Privacy's perpetual free tier (10 domains, 500 consents/mo) is a real option for low-volume pilots that Consently cannot match. Consently has no free-forever plan.
Governance: DSAR, DPIA, and Vendor Risk
Secure Privacy includes a full privacy-governance suite on Business and above. The modules are:
- DSAR (data subject access requests, intake to fulfillment)
- DPIA (data protection impact assessment) workflows with templates and risk analysis
- Vendor and risk management
- Article 30 (RoPA) records
For regulated enterprises with a DPO and a legal team, this is the decisive differentiator. The heavier professional services are sold as paid add-ons on Business and Advanced, not bundled. These include Vendor Risk Management, DPO as a Service, Data Mapping, and Training Programs.
Consently does not offer DSAR, DPIA, or governance workflows. It provides a DPA between Consently and customers on request but does not manage customers' own data-subject-request workflows. If your compliance program requires governance automation, Secure Privacy is the only choice between these two.
Support and Reputation
Secure Privacy scores 4.5/5 on support and reputation; Consently scores 3.0/5. The difference is principally the review base. Secure Privacy has 115 G2 reviews (4.9/5), 82 Capterra reviews (5.0/5), and 53 Trustpilot reviews (4.8/5), all independently verified and current as of June 2026. Support quality is consistently praised. Advanced plan subscribers get a dedicated account manager. Consently holds roughly 25 AppSumo reviews at about 4.0/5, with minimal organic G2, Capterra, or Trustpilot presence. Live chat is included on all Consently plans, and priority support is on Premium and Enterprise.
The gap is real: Secure Privacy's track record is nine years and 250-plus verified reviews deep; Consently's is eight months. For buyers who need a proven vendor, Secure Privacy wins plainly.
Pricing Comparison: Who Pays Less?
The answer depends on domain count, and the crossover is low.
For a single domain, Secure Privacy's free tier ($0, 500 consents) or Small plan ($15/mo) beats Consently's minimum of $99/yr if volume is low. At full usage, Consently's Basic at $99/yr (~$8.25/mo) is cheaper than Secure Privacy Small's annual equivalent (~$168/yr per domain).
For five domains, the math is Consently's strongest argument: $199/yr flat vs. $3,540/yr at Secure Privacy's Business tier (illustrative). The difference widens as domain count grows and as you need features that Secure Privacy gates higher.
For agencies and multi-site owners, Consently's flat account pricing is structurally cheaper at most tier combinations. Consently's Enterprise plan caps at $499/yr for ten domains; Secure Privacy's ten-domain Business equivalent would be $7,080/yr at monthly list prices.
The one Secure Privacy pricing advantage is the free tier: a real, perpetual free plan at 500 consents/mo on up to 10 domains. Consently has no free-forever plan.
Secure Privacy Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Privacy-governance suite (DSAR, DPIA, vendor risk, RoPA) that budget CMPs do not offer
- Strong certifications: SOC 2 Type II, Google CMP Partner Gold Tier, IAB TCF certified
- Excellent independent review base: 4.9/5 G2 (115), 5.0/5 Capterra (82), 4.8/5 Trustpilot (53)
- Accurate and well-reviewed deep-site cookie scanner with auto-blocking

- $59-to-$249 tier gap with no intermediate plan: one Advanced feature forces a 4x price jump per domain
- English-only admin dashboard despite 70+ banner languages, a real friction point for non-English teams
- Banner customization gated: Custom CSS is Business-and-above, white-label is Advanced-only
- Governance professional services are paid add-ons on top of Business/Advanced, not bundled
- Interface complexity: reviewers consistently call it "overwhelming" for cookie-only buyers
Consently Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Flat multi-domain pricing: 5 domains for $199/yr, 10 for $499/yr, dramatically cheaper at scale
- Every feature on every plan: IAB TCF 2.3, Consent Mode v2, weekly scanning, three policy generators, and live chat all included at the $99 entry tier
- Three policy generators including terms and conditions, which several direct rivals do not offer
- Fast setup: one-line script, GTM, Cloudflare Zaraz, or WordPress plugin; most users live in under an hour
- EU data hosting (Frankfurt) and WCAG 2.2 AA accessible banners
- 14-day free trial with no credit card
Cons:
- Younger, thinner track record: ~25 AppSumo reviews at ~4.0/5; no organic G2/Capterra/Trustpilot base
- Certifications incomplete: Google CMP Partner listing is pending; no SOC 2 or ISO 27001/27701
- Script blocking has a documented edge case: some third-party widgets can partially execute before consent, with advanced blocking still in progress
- No DSAR, DPIA, or privacy-governance workflows
- No native Shopify app or DSAR automation
- Global Privacy Control not supported
- No free-forever tier
Which Should You Choose?
We are the publisher of this comparison, so we lay out the honest decision clearly.
Choose Secure Privacy in these cases.
- You need DSAR, DPIA, vendor risk, and RoPA governance alongside cookie consent, not just a banner
- You are mid-market or enterprise and need SOC 2-backed, audit-grade consent proof across 55+ laws
- You need a marketing team running certified Google Consent Mode v2 and IAB TCF at scale across many regions
- You want the strongest independent review base and a nine-year track record
- You only run one or two domains and the free or Small tier pricing works
- Your admin team reads English and the governance breadth justifies the interface complexity
Choose Consently in these cases.
- You run multiple sites or client domains and want flat, predictable pricing with every feature included
- Your priority is an all-in-one: banner, scanning, consent logs, cookie policy, privacy policy, and terms and conditions in one tool
- You need Google Consent Mode v2 and IAB TCF on a budget, without enterprise complexity
- You want a fast, simple setup with live chat from the entry plan
- You prefer EU data hosting and do not need a full governance suite
The governance gap is real and non-trivial: Secure Privacy's DSAR, DPIA, and vendor-risk suite has no equivalent in Consently today. If your compliance program depends on governance automation, Consently is not the right tool, and you should choose Secure Privacy. If you are a cost-conscious multi-site owner or agency, the pricing math almost always favors Consently.

Is There a Better Alternative?
Neither product is the right fit for every buyer.
If you need deep Shopify integration with a native app, Consentmo is purpose-built for Shopify stores. If you need the most mature, enterprise-grade CMP with A/B testing and CTV consent, OneTrust or Usercentrics are the enterprise choices. If you want a free, WordPress-native consent setup, Complianz is the WordPress standard. See the full best consent management platforms roundup for where both products rank against the field.
If the Consently case fits your situation, you can start free with Consently on a 14-day trial with no credit card.
