Why people switch from Termly
Termly is a popular, easy all-in-one compliance tool, and to be fair its free plan even includes an auto-blocker that stops trackers before consent — something not every rival gives away free. The reasons small sites look for an alternative are about what the free plan does once you grow: a hard monthly-view cap, and the compliance features that sit on the paid tier.
The cap is the big one. Termly’s free banner allows 10,000 monthly unique visitors, and in Termly’s own words, once “that limit has been reached, your banner will be deactivated until the following month.” A consent banner that switches itself off is the opposite of compliance — the moment it disappears, the trackers it was gating can fire with no consent prompt, and it happens exactly when your traffic is highest. KookiOk has no view cap, so the banner never switches off.
The proof of consent is paid, too. Termly’s free plan does not include exportable consent records — consent logs sit on the Pro+ tier — so a “free” GDPR setup can leave you unable to demonstrate consent, which GDPR Article 7 requires. Google Consent Mode v2 and removing the “Powered by Termly” badge are also Pro+ features. KookiOk includes 5-year, tamper-evident consent records and Consent Mode v2 free.
Finally, each Termly plan covers one website — multiple sites mean the sales-led Agency plan — and even the cheapest paid plan bundles Termly’s privacy-policy and terms generators with the banner, whether you want them or not. KookiOk is free on unlimited sites, with nothing bundled in.
The banner never switches off, because there is no view quota to reach.

Start for freeHow Termly's pricing works
Termly’s free plan covers 10,000 monthly views on one site, with a basic cookie policy, the auto-blocker and a cookie scan — but no exportable consent records and no Google Consent Mode v2. Paid plans are per website, billed annually: Starter from about $10 a month (50,000 views) and Pro+ from about $15 a month (unlimited views, consent logs, Consent Mode v2, IAB TCF support and branding removal). Running several sites means the custom-priced Agency plan, which starts at a 10-site minimum.
Even the cheapest paid plan bundles Termly’s privacy-policy and terms generators with the consent banner — you cannot buy the consent banner on its own.
KookiOk has no paid tier at all. Every feature on this page is included free, on as many websites as you run, with no view metering — the only trade-off is a small "Powered by KookiOk" badge on the banner.

How to switch from Termly in minutes
Moving your consent banner from Termly to KookiOk is a quick swap:
- Create a free KookiOk account and add your site — it scans automatically and classifies the cookies it finds.
- Design the banner with a template and your brand colour, or let AI style it from a short description.
- Remove the Termly script or plugin.
- Paste KookiOk’s one-line script in its place — tracking stays blocked until visitors consent.
Most sites are live again in a few minutes, with no developer required. If you also use Termly for your privacy policy or terms, you can keep those and use KookiOk only for the consent banner.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Termly alternative?
Yes. KookiOk is a free Termly alternative for cookie consent, with unlimited sites and no view cap, a cookie scanner, prior-consent blocking, Google Consent Mode v2, 5-year consent records and AI banner design — with no credit card and no per-site fees.
What is Termly's free plan limit?
Termly’s free plan is capped at 10,000 monthly unique visitors, and its own documentation says the banner is “deactivated until the following month” once you exceed it. Consent records and Google Consent Mode v2 are on the paid Pro+ tier. KookiOk has no view cap and includes consent records and Consent Mode v2 free.
What happens when you hit the Termly free limit?
On the free plan the consent banner is deactivated until the next month once you pass 10,000 views — which can leave a growing site loading trackers with no consent prompt. KookiOk’s banner never switches off, because there is no view quota.
Does Termly include consent records on the free plan?
No. Termly places consent logs on its paid Pro+ tier, so the free plan has no exportable proof of consent — a gap under GDPR Article 7, which requires you to demonstrate consent. KookiOk includes 5-year, tamper-evident consent records, exportable as PDF or JSON, free.
Does KookiOk generate legal policies like Termly?
No — that is Termly’s advantage. KookiOk is a consent and cookie-banner tool: it scans your site, blocks trackers until consent, shows the banner and records consent. Termly additionally generates privacy policies, terms and other legal documents; KookiOk does not.
How do I move from Termly to KookiOk?
Add your site to KookiOk (it scans automatically), design the banner, then remove the Termly script and paste KookiOk’s one-line script. It usually takes a few minutes and no developer — and you can keep Termly for legal documents if you use it for those.
