Complianz is a great WordPress plugin used by over a million sites. But Loi 25 stays a checkbox in their backoffice — and the plugin only installs on WordPress and Shopify. Moelleux does the same job on any CMS, with an AI-generated policy in real Quebec French and native Loi 25 compliance.
Complianz Personal costs USD$59/year for 1 site. For the same essential features plus full Loi 25 + PIPEDA + GDPR + CCPA coverage, Moelleux Professionnel costs CA$45/year. At agency scale (25 sites), Complianz Agency at USD$399/year becomes the Moelleux partner program at CA$7.50/year/site.
Complianz mentions PIPEDA in passing. Specific Loi 25? Manual configuration in their backoffice. Moelleux is built in Quebec French, generates the 9 mandatory Loi 25 sections, explicitly mentions the Commission d'accès à l'information (CAI) and the designated privacy officer. And propagates automatically to other enabled jurisdictions.
Complianz is WordPress + Shopify only. Moelleux runs on any website — WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, HubSpot, or a static HTML site. One line of code, no CMS constraint.

If your site is hosted at Horizon-Cumulus, we automate the whole thing. No visible change for your visitors.
Our Playwright scanner opens your site, identifies active third-party scripts, set cookies, detected CMS. We compare against the classification Complianz had — most of the time it matches, we import as-is.
We re-ask the 10 questionnaire questions (privacy officer, sector, data types collected). In 30 seconds, the AI generates your policy in Quebec French Loi 25-compliant. You can activate PIPEDA, GDPR, CCPA, and a worldwide fallback simultaneously if you operate internationally.
The Complianz plugin is deactivated then uninstalled. The Moelleux script tag (one line) is added to your theme. The banner appears with your brand. No downtime, no perceptible visitor-side change.
Once validated, you cancel your Complianz subscription. Billing stops at the next cycle. Moelleux credit replaces that cost directly in your Horizon-Cumulus WHMCS invoice.
Three cases where Complianz remains the right choice.
Complianz has IAB Europe TCF certification. If your display campaigns route through programmatic exchanges (Google Ad Manager, open-RTB), it is a technical requirement. Moelleux does not cover IAB TCF at this time.
Complianz is a complete WordPress plugin with a guided wizard and lots of configuration inside WP-admin. If you want to stay on this plugin-only model without an external cloud, keep Complianz.
Complianz is Dutch and has deep knowledge of the GDPR/ePrivacy/TTDSG landscape. If your main market is the EU, their local expertise is an advantage. Moelleux covers GDPR but thinks Loi 25 first.
If your hosting is already at Horizon-Cumulus, we handle the migration at no extra cost. Let's discuss your fleet.
Free Law 25 scanner: we detect cookies, third-party scripts and any existing banner. No account needed, instant results.
No email required to start a scan. Hosted in Quebec.
For a standard site (WordPress, ~10 third-party scripts detected): 30 minutes including scan, policy regeneration, script swap. No downtime.
The Complianz consent cookie is replaced by the Moelleux cookie at each user's next visit. Visitors will see the banner once, give consent, and it is saved for 13 months. Legally, a tool change constitutes a policy version change — re-consent is required anyway.
Complianz logs remain in your WordPress backoffice as long as the plugin is not removed. If you want to archive them, we can export before uninstall. New logs appear in the Moelleux dashboard from migration onward.
You can reinstall Complianz at any time. No lock-in. The Moelleux cookie is removed, the script tag taken out, you resume your Complianz license. No penalty.
