Our verdict: up to 100,000 sessions a month, FlowConsent costs half as much as CookieHub at equal volume, and it is free where CookieHub already charges €6 to €10/month. Choose CookieHub if you need IAB TCF right now, ISO 27001 certification, more than 5 languages on the banner, or public pricing for several hundred thousand sessions.
What is a CMP and why do you need one?
A Consent Management Platform (CMP) is the tool that keeps you compliant with the GDPR and the ePrivacy directive for everything related to cookies and trackers. It lets you:
- Display a consent banner that meets legal requirements
- Collect and record visitor choices
- Block non-essential cookies until consent is given
- Keep proof of consent in a log
- Let visitors change or withdraw their choice
Without a CMP, your site risks fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global turnover. A well-configured CMP also sends Google Consent Mode v2 signals, without which Google Ads and Google Analytics lose part of their measurement for European visitors.
CookieHub and FlowConsent share something rare in this market: they bill per session, not per page view. So the comparison is less about the pricing model and more about thresholds, included features and the vendor's profile.
FlowConsent overview
What is FlowConsent?
FlowConsent is a French consent management solution, positioned as an accessible alternative to premium CMPs. Its goal is to make GDPR compliance available to everyone, with a professional solution at an affordable price and data hosted in Europe.
FlowConsent's philosophy
FlowConsent takes an "anti-premium" approach: the essential compliance features, without the complexity or cost of enterprise solutions. Two choices shape the offer: a free plan large enough to cover a real website, and a single Pro plan that includes 3 domains instead of billing each site separately.

- Up to 25,000 sessions a month, banner deployed on your own Cloudflare account
- Consent log kept for 13 months
- Google Consent Mode v2 and Microsoft UET Consent Mode included
Simple pricing
- Pro plan at €14.99/month excl. VAT up to 100,000 sessions

- Guides for WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Framer and other platforms

EU hosting and automation
- Servers in Europe, no data transferred outside the EU
- Automatic cookie scanning and a catalog of more than 7,000 known services
- Google Consent Mode v2 enabled with a single toggle
CookieHub overview
What is CookieHub?
CookieHub is a CMP published by CookieHub ehf., an Icelandic company founded in 2018 and based in Reykjanesbær. The vendor reports more than 30,000 customer websites. Iceland is part of the European Economic Area, so the GDPR applies there just as it does in the EU.
CookieHub's philosophy
CookieHub presents itself as a "global", fully automated compliance platform: a single banner should handle the GDPR, US state laws, Brazil's LGPD and other regulations, with regular site scanning. Session-based pricing is promoted as fairer than page-view models.

Comparative pricing analysis
Both tools count sessions, so the comparison is direct, with no assumption about page views. All prices below exclude VAT.
Scenario 1: very small site (800 sessions a month)
- FlowConsent: free
- CookieHub: free (Free plan, under 1,000 sessions)
- A tie, although CookieHub Free keeps proof for only one month, versus 13 months at FlowConsent
Scenario 2: small site (4,000 sessions a month)
- FlowConsent: free
- CookieHub: €6/month (Starter plan), so €66 a year
- Savings with FlowConsent: €66 a year (100%)
Scenario 3: mid-size site (20,000 sessions a month)
- FlowConsent: free (under the 25,000-session limit)
- CookieHub: €10/month (Basic plan), so €110 a year
- Savings with FlowConsent: €110 a year (100%)
Scenario 4: large site (100,000 sessions a month)
- FlowConsent: €14.99/month excl. VAT (Pro plan), so €179.88 a year
- CookieHub: €30/month (Business plan), so €330 a year when billed yearly
- Savings with FlowConsent: €15.01/month (50%) on monthly billing, €150.12 a year (45%) against the yearly price
Scenario 5: agency with 3 sites of 25,000 sessions each (75,000 sessions in total)
- FlowConsent: €14.99/month for all 3 domains (Pro plan)
- CookieHub: 3 Basic plans at €10/month, so €30/month (volume discounts start at 5 domains)
- Savings with FlowConsent: €15.01/month (50%)
Scenario 6: very large site (500,000 sessions a month)
- FlowConsent: custom quote (Enterprise plan)
- CookieHub: €85/month (Business plan), so €935 a year
- Depends on your quote; CookieHub has the advantage of a public price at this level
Over a year, the gap is clear for sites up to 100,000 sessions:
- 4,000 sessions: €66 saved
- 20,000 sessions: €110 saved
- 100,000 sessions: €150.12 saved against CookieHub's yearly price
- 500,000 sessions: depends on your quote
The real gap: thresholds, not the model
Since both tools count sessions, the difference comes down to three points:
- The free threshold: 25,000 sessions at FlowConsent, 1,000 at CookieHub. A small business website often exceeds 1,000 visits a month, rarely 25,000.
- What happens above the free limit: on CookieHub Free, the banner stops showing, which leaves the site exposed until a subscription is taken.
- Domains: at CookieHub, each domain has its own subscription; at FlowConsent, the Pro plan covers 3.
