AssentRepo vs Cookiebot
Cookiebot is a mature, GDPR-first CMP from Usercentrics with strong scanning. Typical cost: from ~€12–€60/mo per domain, priced per subpage count.
Cookiebot is a good product with a decade of GDPR behind it. If your compliance problem is entirely European, it is a reasonable default.
If your compliance problem is Indian — or Indian first and European second — the fit gets awkward. Cookiebot models EU consent categories, prices per domain in euros, and treats data-subject requests as something that happens outside the banner.

When Cookiebot is the better choice
- · Your audience is overwhelmingly European and you need deep EU-specific scanning history
- · You already have a Usercentrics contract covering multiple products
When AssentRepo is the better choice
- You serve Indian users and need DPDP-shaped consent records, not GDPR records relabelled
- You want the DSAR queue and the banner to be one system
- You manage several client or brand domains and do not want per-domain licensing
- You want to pay in rupees without a sales conversation
FAQ
Can I migrate from Cookiebot without losing consent records?
Export your existing log from Cookiebot before you switch and keep the file — historical records remain valid evidence for the period they cover. New consents from switchover onwards are recorded in AssentRepo.
Is AssentRepo as good at scanning cookies?
AssentRepo's scanner renders the page and reports third-party scripts and cookies on demand and on a schedule. Cookiebot has a longer-established scanning corpus; for most Indian SMB sites the practical output is the same list.
