Sound familiar?
The top CookieBot complaints on Trustpilot. We built CookieBoss to fix every one of them.
"They auto-upgraded me without warning"
CookieBot automatically upgrades your plan and bill when scanned subpages exceed your tier. Add a few blog posts and your invoice doubles.
CookieBoss: No auto-upgrades, ever. You choose your plan.
"Their script is killing my page speed"
CookieBot loads 130KB+ of JavaScript from a single CDN. Lighthouse scores drop, INP spikes, and SEO suffers.
CookieBoss: Sub-25KB edge-compiled script. Zero CWV impact.
"Support took 5 days to respond"
Non-enterprise CookieBot customers report 3-5 day wait times. Billing disputes take weeks. Good luck if you need help on a Friday.
CookieBoss: Small team, direct access. No ticket queues.
"Each subdomain costs extra"
CookieBot charges subdomains as separate domains. A site with www, blog, and shop subdomains? That's 3x the price.
CookieBoss: Subdomains are free. They share the parent domain slot.
