Katla vs Complianz
A WordPress consent plugin with a free version on WordPress.org and premium licences sold per year by number of sites.

Why teams move.
Complianz is good value if every site you run is WordPress: it lives in wp-admin and the licence is cheap. Katla has a WordPress and WooCommerce plugin too, but the case for it starts when the estate is not all WordPress - a Next.js app, a storefront or a docs site all get the same cookie inventory, consent records and generated policy, with headless mode, an SDK, a CLI and an MCP server on top.
The consent layer, without the UI you did not ask for.
- Guard-only mode with no bundled interface
- window.KatlaConsent plus a katla:consent event on every change
- A React and Next.js SDK with hooks, or plain DOM if you prefer
- The hosted banner is still one line away when you want it
4 KB headless, 18 KB with the banner - and it runs before the trackers do.
- About 4 KB over the wire in headless mode
- About 18 KB with the full hosted banner and your cookie data
- Served from a CDN and cached at the edge
- The guard runs ahead of trackers, so blocking is not a race
Cookies classified and described without you writing a word.
- Automatic classification of newly discovered cookies
- Descriptions generated per locale, overridable when you want your own wording
- Cookie and privacy policies generated from your real scan data
- An MCP server, so Claude or ChatGPT can audit cookies and query consent for you
One consent layer across everything you run.
- Script tag, React and Next.js SDK, or a WordPress and WooCommerce plugin
- A CLI, so onboarding thirty sites is a script rather than an afternoon
- A full API, and an MCP server on top of it
- Per-locale policies and descriptions from the same source of truth
A price on the website and a script tag to start.
- Published pricing - no quote, no call, no procurement cycle
- Flat per site, per month, with no usage overage charges
- A free tier that scans and generates a policy without a card
- One script tag from nothing to a working banner
$59-$399 / year per licence
- Charged on
- Annual licence for 1, 5 or 25 WordPress sites - not metered on traffic
- Free tier
- Free plugin on WordPress.org

Moving from Complianz.
Deactivate Complianz before enabling Katla rather than after - two consent scripts on the same page will fight over the same cookies.
- Sign up here and add your domain
- Run a scan to build your cookie inventory
- Deactivate Complianz and install the Katla plugin, or add the script tag
- Move any script-blocking rules across - Katla maps handles or URL fragments to categories

The free plan scans a domain and generates a policy without a card. Keep Complianz running while you compare.
