Complianz: cost, fit and limits
Complianz is a WordPress and Shopify consent plugin made by Complianz B.V. of Groningen that creates cookie banners, legal documents and consent records for site owners, freelancers and agencies, and belongs to the iubenda group.
What to know first
Complianz sells yearly licenses by number of WordPress sites instead of metering traffic, which makes the cost easy to predict. The pricing page states that records of consent and monthly pageviews are unlimited on every paid tier. No AI features appear on the pages we read. The tool works inside WordPress, so teams on other platforms need a different product.

Who Complianz is best for
WordPress freelancers
A single yearly license of $59 per site, or $179 for five, avoids traffic meters and keeps client invoices simple.
Agencies running multisite
Only the Agency plan at $399 supports WordPress Multisite and covers 25 sites, and registered staging sites do not count toward the limit.
Shopify store owners
A separate Shopify app launched on May 30, 2025 with a free trial, so one vendor can cover a WordPress blog and a shop.

What Complianz does
- Legal document set
- Paid licenses generate a privacy statement, disclaimer, Impressum, processing agreement, a children's privacy statement and a data leak inventory, useful for German-speaking sites. Which documents you need depends on your country.
- Records of consent
- Records of consent are stored without a limit, and the site says it does not cap the number of records you can keep. That differs from tools that bill by log volume.
- Hybrid cookie scan
- A hybrid scan combines a site crawl with a cookie database, and the cookiedatabase connection can raise how often the scan syncs. The page does not give the scan interval for each license.
- Banner testing
- A/B testing and statistics are included on all paid licenses, so a site owner can compare banner variants without a separate analytics tool. Results appear inside the WordPress dashboard.
- Consent standards
- The pricing page lists Google Consent Mode v2, IAB TCF with CMP ID 332 and Google CMP certification. These listings come from the pricing page, not a certificate we saw.
How Complianz handles your data
The privacy statement names Complianz B.V., Kalmarweg 14-5, Groningen, Netherlands, registered under a Dutch chamber of commerce number. It lists processors such as an invoicing service and a hosting provider, and gives a processing location of Italy for the hosting section, though it names two different hosts, so treat that part as unclear. General retention is for as long as the purpose requires. The pages did not state AI training practices, so the vendor's policy was not checked for this.
Where Complianz falls short in practice
- WordPress-first. The plugin covers standard WordPress installs, and the Shopify app is a separate product. Sites on Wix, Webflow or custom stacks need a different tool.
- Yearly lock-in per license. Licenses renew and cancel independently, and the page says no discounts are offered. A site that ends in month three still pays for the year.
- No AI and no app SDK. The pages list no AI features, mobile SDK or connected TV product, so teams with apps must add another vendor beside it. Plan the extra vendor early.

Alternatives to Complianz
Complianz: common questions
Does Complianz limit pageviews or consent records?
No. The pricing page says records of consent and monthly pageviews are unlimited on every tier, and that Complianz does not limit the number of consent records you can store. The cost depends only on how many sites a license covers.
Which Complianz plan supports WordPress Multisite?
Agency, at $399 a year for 25 sites, which includes the Multisite plugin. Single-site licenses cover a standard WordPress installation, not a Multisite network. Registered staging environments are excluded from the license limits. Larger networks need bulk pricing. Check the site count first.
Is there a free version of Complianz?
A free WordPress plugin is linked from the pricing page, but the page does not list what it contains. The Shopify app has a free trial, and a 30-day money-back guarantee appears on the home page for paid licenses. Test both on a staging site.
Can I upgrade a Complianz license later?
Yes. The page says you can upgrade with a prorated discount, or buy extra licenses that renew and cancel independently. For more than 25 sites it points to bulk pricing. Keep renewal dates in view, because each license renews on its own.
Does Complianz have anything to do with iubenda?
The home page says Complianz is part of iubenda, and iubenda names it a sister company under team.blue NV. The products keep separate pricing, plugins and support, so a Complianz license does not give you an iubenda account. Ask both vendors about shared support.
