CookieCrumb vs CookieYes
Comparativa detallada de banners de cookies, velocidad de carga y precios.
Ambas plataformas ofrecen banners de consentimiento, escaneo automático de cookies y Google Consent Mode. CookieCrumb es gratuito con páginas vistas ilimitadas, escanea en un navegador real antes y después del consentimiento y lo pone todo a tu alcance en una REST API.
Diferencias Clave
Un plan gratuito sin límite de tráfico
El plan gratuito de CookieYes cubre 5.000 páginas vistas al mes y sus planes de pago se tarifican por páginas vistas. El plan gratuito de CookieCrumb no tiene ningún límite de páginas vistas: hasta 10 sitios, con todas las funciones incluidas.
Escaneos que muestran si el bloqueo funciona
CookieCrumb carga tus páginas dos veces en un navegador real, antes y después de aceptar el banner, y señala cada cookie no esencial que se instala antes del consentimiento, para que veas si el bloqueo previo funciona de verdad en tu web.
Una API completa, no solo MCP
CookieYes ofrece un servidor MCP, pero no una REST API pública. Cada acción del panel de CookieCrumb está también en una REST API documentada con OpenAPI y OAuth, junto a un servidor MCP con 20 herramientas para agentes de IA, para que tus pipelines de CI y scripts también puedan gestionarlo todo.
CookieCrumb vs CookieYes: the detailed comparison
CookieYes is one of the most widely installed consent banners on the web, and for good reason: it is affordable, quick to set up, and familiar to agencies. If you are choosing between CookieYes and CookieCrumb, you are choosing between two products aimed at the same problem — lawful cookie consent for small and mid-size sites — with different priorities under the hood.
The short version: CookieYes optimizes for breadth of integrations and brand recognition; CookieCrumb optimizes for enforcement rigor, page performance, and automation. Below is the detailed, honest breakdown.
| Feature | CookieCrumb | CookieYes |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free — Enterprise limits on request | Free up to 5,000 pageviews / mo; paid from $10 / mo, priced by traffic |
| Free tier | 10 sites, unlimited pageviews, every feature | 5,000 pageviews / mo, 1 language |
| Script size on your pages | ~25 KB (9 KB gzipped) | ~28 KB (9 KB gzipped) |
| Prior-blocking | Tagged scripts held until consent, plus opt-in automatic blocking of known trackers; fails closed | Automatic blocking of known trackers on every plan |
| Cookie scanner | HTTP crawler by default + optional headless-browser engine that executes page JavaScript | Scheduled scans; depth depends on plan |
| Existing-CMP detection on scan | Browser engine detects an installed CMP and imports its declared cookies/vendors | — |
| Global Privacy Control | Honored automatically once enabled (one setting) | Supported |
| API and AI agents | REST + OpenAPI + OAuth for every dashboard action, plus a 20-tool MCP server | MCP server (7 tools); no public REST API |
| Consent log export | CSV, dashboard or API | Yes |
Where CookieCrumb is genuinely better
No traffic cap, ever
CookieYes's free plan stops at 5,000 pageviews a month and its paid plans are priced by traffic, so growth is a billing event. CookieCrumb is free with unlimited pageviews and consents for up to 10 sites, with every feature included; larger setups get Enterprise limits on request.
Enforcement that fails closed
CookieCrumb's loader holds the scripts you tag inert (type="text/plain") and releases them only for accepted categories. If configuration is incomplete, the failure mode is 'a tracker stayed blocked' — annoying, visible, fixable — rather than 'a tracker ran without consent', which is the failure a regulator fines.
A scanner that runs the page
CookieCrumb's optional deep engine loads pages in headless Chromium and executes their JavaScript, catching client-side and third-party cookies that header-level scans structurally miss. It also detects an existing CMP — including CookieYes — and imports its declared cookies, which makes switching a one-scan migration instead of a re-audit.
Automation as a first-class citizen
Everything the dashboard does is in the documented API, discoverable via /.well-known/api-catalog and OpenAPI 3.1, with standard OAuth tokens. CI pipelines and AI agents can operate CookieCrumb end-to-end; see the For AI agents page.
Where CookieYes is the better fit
An honest comparison names the cases it loses. These are CookieYes's.
Automatic blocking by default
CookieYes blocks known trackers automatically on every plan, out of the box. CookieCrumb's automatic blocking is opt-in, because catching scripts in your HTML needs the loader first in <head> without defer; by default it holds the scripts you tag (the WordPress and Drupal plugins tag them for you).
Ecosystem breadth
CookieYes has been around longer and offers a large library of platform plugins and CMS integrations, plus adjacent document generators (privacy and cookie policy tooling). If your workflow depends on a specific niche plugin, check their catalog first.
Brand familiarity
Agencies and auditors recognize CookieYes on sight. If 'nobody ever got fired for choosing the market leader' matters in your organization, that is a real, if non-technical, argument.
Migrating from CookieYes to CookieCrumb
- 1Create a CookieCrumb site for your domain, verify it, and run a browser-engine scan — the scanner will detect CookieYes and import its declared cookie inventory automatically.
- 2Review the imported declaration and the categories of the cookies found, then configure the banner to match your brand.
- 3Add the CookieCrumb snippet to your pages' <head>, above your analytics tags, and tag each non-essential script with data-cc-category.
- 4Remove the CookieYes script tag (and its plugin, if you used one). Running two consent banners confuses both visitors and consent records.
- 5Verify with the browser devtools that non-essential cookies appear only after opting in, then export your first consent-log entries to confirm recording.
CookieCrumb vs CookieYes: common questions
Is CookieCrumb cheaper than CookieYes?
CookieCrumb is free: every feature, up to 10 sites, no pageview limit and no card. CookieYes's free plan covers 5,000 pageviews a month, and its paid plans start at $10/month and are priced by traffic. If you outgrow our free limits, Enterprise limits are available on request.
Can CookieCrumb import my existing CookieYes cookie declaration?
Yes. The browser-based scanner detects an installed CookieYes banner and pulls the cookies and vendors it declares, so your migration starts from your current inventory rather than a blank page.
Is CookieCrumb's script smaller?
A little smaller: about 25 KB against 28 KB uncompressed, and about 9 KB each gzipped (measured October 2026) — sites that turn on auto-blocking or TCF get those parts added. Size isn't the reason to switch — unlimited traffic, scans that check blocking before and after consent, and a full API are.
What do I give up by leaving CookieYes?
Mainly its plugin catalog and adjacent policy-generator tooling. If you rely on a specific CMS plugin behavior, test the CookieCrumb snippet on a staging page first — it is a single script tag, so trials are cheap.
