RESEARCH-LED COMPARISON
CookieYes vs Consentina
CookieYes is a mature consent platform used across WordPress and other website platforms, with scanning, blocking, consent records, policies and sophisticated regional controls. Consentina takes a different route: beautiful consent, simple website-based pricing and Tina staying around afterwards.
Pricing and product information checked: October 2026
THE 30-SECOND ANSWER
Both can handle consent. Only one has Tina.
Scanning · blocking · consent records · regional controls · broad platform support
Beautiful consent · unlimited pageviews · Tina Watch · website insight · plain-English help
PROPER CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE
CookieYes is a serious consent platform.
It is Google-certified, supports IAB TCF v2.3 where applicable, and its WordPress offering claims 1.5m+ active installations. Its CMP covers scanning, blocking, consent logs, Proof of Consent, policies, regional controls and much more.
Automatic blocking, consent logs, downloadable proof, scan history, Consent Mode and reporting.
Geo-targeting, 175+ banner languages, 41 automatic translations and advertising-framework capability.
WordPress, other CMS routes, paid multi-user access and an agency programme.
CookieYes is not a basic cookie plugin. Its distinction from Tina is not whether it can do consent competently. It very clearly can.
TRAFFIC
Your website getting busier should not make consent more expensive.
CookieYes prices Basic and Pro by monthly pageviews. Consentina Essential and Pro do not.
pageviews/month
100 pages per scan · 5 scans/monthpageviews/month
$10/month/domain · then $0.30 per extra 1,000pageviews/month
$25/month/domain · then $0.30 per extra 1,000pageviews
$55/month/domain · subject to fair useTINA'S VIEW
Tina doesn’t count them.
More people visited your website? Brilliant. Tina has better things to do than count every time somebody opens a page.
Unlimited pageviews on Tina Essential and Pro.
Pageview pricing is not inherently bad. CookieYes says its model lets plans scale with usage and can keep a banner working through a traffic spike. That may be exactly right for some businesses. Consentina simply prices around websites and capability instead.
FREE DOES NOT MEAN USELESS
CookieYes Free vs Tina Essential
CookieYes Free is a genuine usable consent product. That makes this a useful question, not a trick one.
| What matters | CookieYes Free | Tina Essential |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $0/month per domain | £9/month · £59 first private-launch year |
| Websites | 1 domain | 1 website |
| Pageviews | 5,000/month | Unlimited |
| Scanning | 5 scans/month; 100 pages/scan | Defined tracker scanning |
| Blocking + banner | Cookie auto-blocking and custom banner | Beautiful consent and appropriate blocking |
| Consent records | Consent log | Clear consent records |
| Policies | Cookie and privacy policy generators | Tina Policies where included |
| After setup | CMP dashboard | Tina 24/7 Watch and useful alerts |
THE DIFFICULT QUESTION
If CookieYes has a free plan, why pay £9 for Tina?
Because Tina Essential is not intended to be a £9 version of a free cookie banner. It is beautiful consent, unlimited pageviews, Watch, useful alerts, clear explanations, policies/tooling where included and Tina staying around afterwards.
Cookie consent is where Tina starts. Looking after the website is where Consentina gets interesting.

The difference is what we are asking the software to do next.
Automated consent management with a serious dashboard behind it.
Consent is Tina’s first job. It does not have to be her last.

THE REAL DIFFERENCE
CookieYes manages consent. Tina wants to earn her keep.
A mature CMP automating meaningful consent work.
Tina should not just sit on the website waiting for somebody to click a banner.
YOUR WEBSITE IS SUPPOSED TO GROW
More visitors should be good news.
Your article takes off.
Good.
Your campaign works.
Excellent.
Your shop gets busier.
That’s rather the point.
Your traffic doubles.
Tina does not change your bill because of it.
ECOMMERCE
Your shop has enough numbers already.
CookieYes is a capable ecommerce consent option and works across platforms. For a growing shop, pageview pricing is another usage measure to monitor. With Tina, products, content and traffic can grow without the consent bill moving because pageviews increased.
Consent should support growth. It should not meter it.
WHEN WOULD WE CHOOSE COOKIEYES?
Sometimes it may be the better fit.
CHOOSE COOKIEYES WHEN
You need mature CMP depth today.
- Broad CMS/platform support matters now
- You need IAB or advanced regional controls
- You need extensive multilingual support
- You want a conventional CMP dashboard
- Ultimate’s unlimited tier fits your needs
TINA BECOMES INTERESTING WHEN
You want consent connected to the rest of the website.
- You do not want traffic-based pricing
- You care about the visitor experience
- WordPress is your priority
- You want changes explained, not merely reported
- You want useful next steps—and Tina
PROOF OF CONSENT
Proof is important. We think the surrounding story can matter too.
CookieYes can generate an individual PDF Proof of Consent and provides paid consent-log access for up to five years according to its documentation. It would be wrong to say it does not take evidence seriously.
Consentina keeps clear consent records too. Tina’s direction connects consent with experience version, relevant website state, changes, recommendations and actions.
When you need to prove it, too.
