AlpineConsent vs Real Cookie Banner

Real Cookie Banner already includes unlimited pageviews, so that's not the difference — AlpineConsent's real edge is a cloud consent-log/audit trail and a multi-site dashboard, which a self-hosted plugin license doesn't include.

Checked 2026-10-08 — a capped free tier, a usage-metered ceiling, or a custom-quote-only plan isn't automatically worse, just a different trade-off. See "A closer look" below for what each vendor is actually optimized for.
