Cookiebot (now Usercentrics) bills between €7 and €90/month per domain, based on the number of subpages detected on your site. The bigger your site grows, the more you pay. The August 2025 hike doubled base prices — many users are re-evaluating. Moelleux is flat: CA$25/year to start, CA$90/year for multi-jurisdiction coverage, no complexity penalty.
Cookiebot bills by subpages detected on your domain — an e-commerce site with 5,000 products pays the maximum tier (€90/mo ≈ CA$1,470/year). Moelleux is CA$25/year for Essential, CA$90/year for multi-jurisdiction, regardless of site size. 16× cheaper for the same job.
In August 2025, Usercentrics (which owns Cookiebot) doubled base prices and shifted some plans into higher tiers without significant notice. Many customers received renewal invoices at 2× the previous price. Moelleux: announced price = renewal price.
Cookiebot is Danish, operated by Usercentrics (German group). Data is stored in the EU. For a Quebec site, that is an out-of-Canada transfer to declare in your policy. Moelleux hosts in Quebec — no transfer to declare.

Three cases where Cookiebot remains relevant.
Cookiebot is IAB TCF Europe v2.3 certified. If your display campaigns route through European programmatic exchanges (Google Ad Manager EU, programmatic open-RTB), it is a technical requirement. Moelleux does not cover IAB TCF.
Cookiebot/Usercentrics is the European leader with deep GDPR/ePrivacy/TTDSG expertise. If your main market is the EU and EU data is OK with you, their local expertise is an advantage. Moelleux thinks Loi 25 first.
Cookiebot offers advanced reports (consent rates by category, geo-analytics, A/B testing) on higher tiers. Moelleux has a more minimalist dashboard — sufficient for most SMBs but less rich for data-driven marketing directors.

It depends on your subpage count. Small site (≤250 subpages): €84/year = CA$125. Mid-size (≤2,500): €348/year = CA$519. Large (≤250K): €1,080/year = CA$1,610. Multiply by domain count — Cookiebot bills per domain. Moelleux: CA$25-90/year, regardless of size.
In August 2025, Usercentrics (Cookiebot owner) doubled base prices and shifted some plans into higher tiers. Many existing customers received renewal invoices at 2× the previous price. Moelleux: announced price = renewal price.
Standard site: 30 minutes. Large site (10K+ subpages): ~1h. No downtime regardless of size.
No — Moelleux hosts in Quebec (OVH Beauharnois). It is an advantage if your market is Canadian (no out-of-Canada transfer to declare in policy). If your market is mainly European, it is the opposite — Cookiebot remains better positioned.
