Every consent platform is compliant. Only some of them are fast.
How Katla stacks up against the consent managers you are probably evaluating. Weights are measured on live sites; pricing and features come from each vendor's own documentation, verified 1 September 2026.
Consent state through the SDK and REST API, in your own UI or ours. The scan classifies what it finds and generates the policy. Priced per site, with no pageview overage.
An established CMP, now part of Usercentrics. Hosted banner, automated scanning, priced by how many subpages your site has.
Published price: €7–€90 / month per domain. Free tier: Free for 1 domain, up to 50 subpages.
Bytes over the wire from each platform's own hosts, measured on live sites on 2026-09-04. Mobile viewport, cold cache, 1.6 Mbps / 150 ms RTT, 4× CPU throttle, median of 5 runs. Katla's weight moves with a site's cookie inventory, which ships inside the script.
One page, one set of third-party tags, the consent platform as the only variable — measured on 2026-09-04. Identical page, cold cache, 1.6 Mbps / 150 ms RTT, 4× CPU throttle, median of 9 runs. Baseline LCP without any consent platform was 299 ms, and anything within ±15 ms of it reads as no change. Every platform rendered its banner on every run.
Moving over takes an afternoon.
Cookiebot gives you a hosted banner and a script tag. Katla gives you that too, and then everything behind it: headless mode when the banner should be yours, a React and Next.js SDK, a CLI for scripted onboarding, and an MCP server so an assistant can audit your cookies. If the consent layer is something your team builds against rather than merely installs, that difference is the whole decision.
