CookieBoss vs Iubenda
Iubenda built its name on legal document generation — privacy policies, terms of service, cookie policies. The CMP came later as one piece of a broader compliance suite. CookieBoss is the opposite: a focused, performant cookie consent product with one clear price.
The honest difference: focus + predictable billing
With Iubenda you'll typically stack add-ons (Privacy Policy + Cookie Solution + Consent Solution + Internal Privacy Management) and pay separately for each, per site. CookieBoss is one product, one price per tier — €9/mo covers the consent experience end-to-end. If you don't need legal-doc generation bundled in, you're paying for capability you won't use.
