The Modern CMP for Teams That Outgrew Their Legacy Platform
Tired of bloated scripts, opaque 5-figure enterprise contracts, and slow support? Consent Guard AI delivers modern compliance in minutes at 80% lower cost.
What you get when you switch — and what you leave behind
| Capability | Legacy CMPs (OneTrust, Cookiebot, Osano) | Consent Guard AI |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie scanner | Manual + periodic recrawl | Daily AI autonomous crawl |
| Tracker classification | Manual category assignment | AI auto-classification |
| Google Consent Mode v2 | Add-on, manual GTM config | Native, pre-configured |
| Conversion recovery | Not offered | Modeled signals for declined visitors |
| Time to go live | Weeks (implementation project) | Same day (one script tag) |
| Pricing transparency | Custom quote / annual lock-in | Published tiers, cancel anytime |
| Multi-site management | Enterprise tier only | Built into every plan |
| GPC / Do Not Track support | Varies by configuration | Automatic detection & honor |
| Page speed impact | Heavy script bundle | Lightweight edge-delivered script |
| Migration import | N/A | Import existing cookie classifications |
Comparison reflects publicly documented behavior of listed platforms as of 2026.
You're paying enterprise prices for a tool that still makes you do the work
Legacy consent management platforms were built before AI scanning existed. They give you a dashboard and expect you to manually audit, categorize, and maintain your cookie inventory. When regulations change, you update the rules by hand. When a new tracker appears on your site, it sits uncategorized until someone notices.
For that privilege, you pay five-figure annual contracts with built-in lock-in. The pricing is opaque. The support is slow. The script bundle they inject slows your site down. And every year the renewal invoice goes up.
Consent Guard AI replaces that entire model. AI does the auditing. AI does the categorization. Pricing is published. There's no contract. And the script loads in under 10 milliseconds.
Transparent Pricing Without Lock-In
Legacy CMPs charge five-figure annual contracts with opaque "platform fees" and traffic-based overages you can't predict. Consent Guard AI publishes its pricing. No annual lock-in, no surprise invoices, no enterprise sales call required.
One-Click Import from Legacy CMPs
Our migration assistant imports your existing cookie classifications and banner styling in one click. You swap one script tag and your visitors never see a disruption. The whole migration — from old CMP to live Consent Guard AI banner — takes less time than a coffee break.
Built for Modern Web — Not 2015 jQuery
Legacy CMPs were built in a jQuery era and it shows: heavy script bundles, layout shifts, slow load times. Consent Guard AI is built for React, Next.js, Webflow, and Shopify from the ground up — edge-delivered, sub-10ms, zero page weight bloat.
Migrate from your legacy CMP in three steps
Export from your current CMP
Download your cookie classifications from OneTrust, Cookiebot, or Osano as CSV or JSON. This preserves the categorization work you've already done so nothing is lost in the switch.
Import and verify
Upload the export into Consent Guard AI. The migration assistant maps your categories, flags any conflicts, and runs a fresh AI scan to catch trackers your old CMP missed. You approve the merged inventory before going live.
Swap the script tag and go live
Remove the old CMP script. Add the Consent Guard AI script tag. Your banner is live — edge-delivered, auto-updating, and running daily AI scans. Your visitors see zero disruption.
Common questions about switching
How is this different from OneTrust?+
Three fundamental differences: (1) AI automation replaces manual configuration — our scanner auto-discovers and auto-classifies every cookie on your site, which OneTrust requires you to do by hand. (2) Transparent pricing — we publish our tiers and you cancel anytime, versus opaque enterprise quotes with annual commitments. (3) Modern delivery — our banner loads from a global edge CDN in under 10ms, versus OneTrust's heavy script bundle that drags page speed.
Can I import my existing cookie categories from OneTrust or Cookiebot?+
Yes. The migration assistant accepts a CSV or JSON export of your existing cookie classifications. It maps them to our category schema, preserves your custom descriptions, and applies them instantly. If you've spent months categorizing 200 cookies, you don't have to redo that work.
What about enterprise features like multi-site management?+
Multi-site management is built into every Consent Guard AI plan — not gated behind an enterprise tier. You manage all your domains from a single dashboard with unified billing and domain-level analytics. Legacy CMPs charge separately for this.
Is there an annual contract?+
No. All plans are monthly with no minimum commitment. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time. We don't believe in trapping customers with contracts — we believe in earning your business every month.
How long does the migration take?+
Most teams complete the full migration in under 30 minutes: export from your old CMP, import into Consent Guard AI, swap one script tag, verify the banner loads. We've seen teams switch during a lunch break.
