What questions should I ask before choosing a CMP?

FlowConsent offers a free plan at €0/month for small sites, and paid plans without useless "Enterprise" features (SSO, multi-workspace, advanced audit logs...). You pay for what you actually need, nothing more.
FlowConsent natively integrates Google Consent Mode v2 and properly manages all 4 consent parameters (analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization). No complicated manual configuration: it works out-of-the-box with GA4 and Google Ads.
Yes, FlowConsent's visual editor lets you customize everything: colors, texts, buttons, position, animations... Without writing a single line of code. If you want to go further, custom CSS is also possible.
Support is included in all plans with FlowConsent, no hidden fees. You talk to a human, not a chatbot. Average response time: a few hours max. With many competitors, "real" support costs an extra €200/month.
FlowConsent installs in 10 minutes flat: you copy a script into your <head>, customize your banner via the visual editor, and you're done. No complex GTM configuration, no endless debugging. With some competitors, expect 60 to 90 minutes of technical setup.
With FlowConsent, pricing is based on sessions, not pageviews. If your visitors view 10 pages per visit, you only pay for one session. With competitors who charge per pageview, you'll pay 10× more for the same traffic. Our model: predictable and transparent.

7 red flags to watch for when comparing CMPs

Knowing what to look for is good. Knowing what to avoid is just as important.

1. 'Contact us for pricing'

If you have to fill out a form and wait for a sales call to know the price, run away. Pricing transparency should be the standard.

2. Setup that requires a dev for 2 hours

Installing a cookie banner shouldn't require debugging GTM for half a day. If it does, the solution is too complex.

3. Pageview-based pricing

Your blog generates 10 pageviews per session? With pageview-based pricing, you'll pay 10× more than with session-based pricing. Absurd.

4. Non-existent customer support (or paid extra)

Support shouldn't be a "Premium" option at €200/month.

5. Cookie scanning as a paid option

In 2026, automatically detecting your cookies should be included in the base plan, not sold as an add-on.

6. 'Enterprise' features you don't need

SSO, multi-workspace, advanced audit logs... If you're not a multinational, why pay for that?

7. Technical lock-in that makes migration impossible

If switching CMPs requires redoing your entire analytics config, you're trapped. A good solution should be easy to replace.

Focus on compliance, not configuration

FlowConsent was designed to:

Save you time

10-minute installation instead of 60-90 minutes of complex GTM configuration

Drastically reduce your costs

GDPR compliance from €0/month thanks to a model without intermediaries or sales teams

Simplify maintenance

Automatic cookie scanning, you don't have to manage anything

Adapt to your growth

From showcase site to high-traffic website, without exploding your budget due to poorly designed pricing

Stay compatible and compliant

Google Consent Mode v2, Server-side management, GDPR

Ultra-fast setup

Our 10-minute installation and visual banner editor allow anyone to be compliant without blocking a developer for hours. You copy your external scripts (or use our cookie scanner), customize your banner in a few clicks, and you're done.

All the features, without useless bells and whistles

Automatic cookie scanning, multilingual support (up to 42 configurable languages: 2 simultaneous languages in free plan, 5 in pro plan), complete design customization, Google Consent Mode v2, IAB TCF v2.2, native integrations... Everything you need to be compliant. Nothing superfluous.

Pricing that respects your budget

With plans starting at €0/month (free) and €14.99/month (pro), and transparent session-based pricing (not pageviews), you know exactly what you'll pay. No hidden fees. No "contact us for a quote". No surprises.

Why our customers left their old CMP

Customers who migrate to FlowConsent mainly cite these reasons:
  • Pricing that explodes as soon as traffic increases (pageview-based pricing)
  • Installation complexity requiring blocking a dev for hours
  • Lack of transparency on actual prices and included features
  • Cookie banner maintenance is too complex in the long term
