Katla vs CookieScript
A hosted cookie banner and scanner, priced per domain on yearly plans, with a free tier capped on pageviews.
CookieScript pricing taken from their pricing page, verified . Weight and LCP are our own measurements - how they were taken.
Why teams move.
CookieScript is inexpensive and does the banner job well, with its API kept for the top tier. Katla treats the developer surface as the product rather than an upgrade: headless mode, a React and Next.js SDK, a CLI and an MCP server are there from the start, and cookies are described for you in every locale you serve.
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.
