Termly vs CookieYes (2026)
An independent comparison of Termly and CookieYes — pricing, features and which one fits your site.
The short answer
Both are excellent low-cost picks and among the cheapest full-featured cookie consent tools available. Choose Termly if you also want privacy policy, terms and DSAR generators bundled in — its annual per-site pricing ($10–15/month) is the cheapest here and includes unlimited banner views on Pro+. Choose CookieYes if cookie consent is your main need: it has the more generous, genuinely usable free tier, confirmed Shopify support and granular page-scan limits.
Both auto-scan and block cookies, support Google Consent Mode v2 and IAB TCF, and have WordPress plugins — so for many small sites it comes down to whether you want a legal-docs bundle (Termly) or the best free tier and Shopify support (CookieYes).
