Katla vs Usercentrics
A hosted CMP from the company that also owns Cookiebot, priced on monthly sessions with a domain cap per tier.
Usercentrics pricing taken from their pricing page, verified . Weight and LCP are our own measurements - how they were taken.
Why teams move.
Usercentrics meters sessions, and its tiers move up automatically as traffic grows, so a busy month can land you on a bigger plan. Katla has no per-1,000 overage and you move plan deliberately. Beyond price, Katla is built for teams who build against the consent layer: headless mode, a React and Next.js SDK, a CLI for scripted onboarding, and an MCP server so an assistant can audit your cookies.
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
€0-€50 / month, custom above that
- Charged on
- Monthly sessions and a domain cap per tier; the plan upgrades automatically when a limit is passed
- Free tier
- Free for 1,000 sessions a month on 1 domain
