The short version

Side by side
| Termly | Gatelamp | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Cookie banner and consent management, with privacy policy, terms and other policy generators. Available today | A cookie banner only on the sites that need one, with a scanner and one dashboard for all your sites (in development) |
| Free plan | Yes: 1 website, 10,000 banner views a month, 1 basic policy, quarterly scans and the script auto blocker | Planned: one site, with the honest banner, a cookie page, a monthly scan, proof of consent and a “consent by gatelamp” label |
| Paid plans | Starter: $10 per website a month billed annually, or $14 billed monthly, for 50,000 banner views a month | Planned: Maker for a handful of sites and Studio for portfolios and agencies, monthly. Prices follow before Gatelamp opens |
| Pricing model | Per website, per month, billed monthly or yearly (25% off yearly). Free and Starter cap banner views | Per workspace, never per pageview |
| Many sites in one account | On paid plans: each extra website is a paid licence, with a bulk discount from 5. Agency plan from 10 sites | Every site in one dashboard with a status lamp each, one shared library of tools, and presets that update many sites at once |
| Cookie scanner | Finds and sorts cookies and trackers: quarterly on Free, monthly on Starter, weekly on Pro+; subdomains on Pro+ | A real browser visits three times: before a choice, after reject and after accept. Weekly, and on demand after a deploy |
| Banner design | Built-in themes on every plan; your own colours, font and display style, and no Termly logo, on Pro+ | Each site’s own colours, font, corners and spacing, as a bar, a corner card or a centred dialog |
| Google Consent Mode v2 | Yes: basic on Free and Starter, advanced on Pro+ and Agency | Yes: all four signals start as denied and update when someone chooses |
| IAB TCF | Yes: TCF 2.3 on Pro+ ($15 per website a month, billed annually) and Agency | Not at launch |
| Languages | 13 languages, picked from the visitor’s browser, on Pro+ and Agency | Text per language, picked from the page; starter text in English, Dutch, German, French, Danish and Swedish |
| Where the script loads from | A Termly code snippet, first script in the head; where it’s served from isn’t stated on their site | Your own domain: a web component of around 12 kB, so script-src 'self' can stay |
| Proof of consent | Consent logs on Pro+ and Agency: an anonymised IP, country, device, the choices and the date, with export | A random consent ID, the choice per category and the banner version. No IP addresses. CSV export |
| Platforms | Any site through a code snippet; a WordPress plugin, GTM, and guides for Wix, Squarespace and Next.js | At launch: a script tag, an npm package and an Astro component. Planned: WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Framer and GTM |

Where Termly is strong
- Available today, with a free plan: one website, 10,000 banner views a month, quarterly scans and the script auto blocker.
- Policy generators next to the banner, including a privacy policy, terms and conditions and a cookie policy.
- A Google CMP Partner with Gold status, with IAB TCF 2.3 and advanced Google Consent Mode v2 on Pro+.
- A WordPress plugin on every plan, and install guides for Wix, Squarespace and Next.js.
Where Gatelamp is different
- One monthly price per workspace, for a handful of sites (Maker) or many (Studio), never per pageview.
- Proof of consent on every plan, the free one included, with no IP addresses stored.
- A scan of every site shows which ones need a banner. Sites that load nothing needing consent get none.
- Runs from your own domain as a web component of around 12 kB, so a strict security policy can stay.
Gatelamp vs Termly: common questions
- Is Gatelamp cheaper than Termly?
- We can’t say yet, because Gatelamp’s prices follow before it opens. Termly charges per website: Starter is $10 a month billed annually or $14 monthly, and IAB TCF, consent logs and more languages come with Pro+ at $15 or $20. Gatelamp charges per workspace, monthly, and never per pageview. Everyone on the waitlist gets the early price.
- Can I move from Termly to Gatelamp?
- Gatelamp isn’t open yet. When it is, add your sites and the scanner shows what each one loads, and which script caused it. Common tools are already described in the shared library. Ask us in the chat about your setup.
- Do both keep proof of consent?
- Termly keeps consent logs on Pro+ and Agency, with an anonymised IP address, the country, the browser or device, the choices and the date. Gatelamp plans proof of consent on every plan, the free one included: a random consent ID, the choice per category, when it was made and the banner version, with no IP addresses. Both let you export the records.
