Why teams move.

Consentmanager bills per 1,000 pageviews above the plan, so a post that does well arrives as an invoice; Katla has no overage charge, and you move plan deliberately instead. It also starts on a free tier rather than a trial, and adds headless mode, a React and Next.js SDK, a CLI and an MCP server for teams who build against the consent layer.

Headless

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
Speed

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
AI

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
Flexibility

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
Simplicity

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
That's how the cookie crumbles. Except your SEO shouldn't.4.6 kB headless, and no measurable LCP cost.

MIGRATION

Moving from Consentmanager.

You can run both while you check the banner behaves - just make sure only one consent script is active on a given page, or they will fight over the same cookies.

  1. Sign up here and add your domain
  2. Run a scan - you get your own cookie inventory, classified automatically
  3. Swap the Consentmanager script for Katla’s, keeping it in the head
  4. Re-point any Google Consent Mode wiring; both tools speak the same signals
