Pricing a site-based compliance platform

Compliance pricing is often too complicated

If you've shopped for a consent platform, you've seen pageview tiers, per-domain add-ons, features that only exist on the plan above yours, and quotes that take a sales call to decode. All you want to know is what it'll cost for your site or your client's site, and the pricing page won't say.

Usage-based tiers are a particularly bad fit for compliance, because a traffic spike doesn't change the work. The banner still shows, the records still accrue and the policy still stands. Your legal obligations don't scale with pageviews, so your bill shouldn't either.

What does one price per site mean for you?

It means one flat price for each site. UserGuard charges $10 per site per month. We price by the site because that's how the work divides up. Each site has its own scanner, approved cookie inventory, banner and preference center, generated policy and consent log. A second site is a second one of everything, so it's a second line on the bill.

That means you can work out the cost yourself before you talk to anyone. One site is $10. A client project with three sites is three predictable lines on an invoice you can quote before signing anything. The first month is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it without committing.

How discounts work as you add sites

As you add sites, volume discounts apply automatically. You don't need a coupon code, a renegotiation at renewal or an email thread with an account manager. The current schedule is published on the pricing page and it's the same for everyone, so you know what the next domain costs before you add it.

At 50 or more sites it becomes a custom conversation, because portfolios that size usually arrive with their own requirements. Below that, everyone pays the published price. Organizations let you group client sites under one account, and team roles let colleagues share the review work without sharing billing access.

What does every site include?

Every feature. There are no feature gates. The one metered thing is AI review, at 10 runs per site each month, and you can see the meter as you go. Every site gets the evidence-first scanner, AI-assisted review with human approval, the generated cookie policy, the consent banner and preference center, the consent event log with CSV export, geo-targeting, and the accessibility widget on the same script. Global Privacy Control is honored automatically on every site, and you never have to upgrade to get it.

Think about it from your side of the table. If you have to upgrade to get a compliance feature, you won't have it on the day a regulator, a client or a visitor asks about it. Paying more should get you more sites, and you shouldn't have to pay extra to honor an opt-out.

One important caveat is that no plan at any price makes you compliant. You're buying tools and records. The obligations stay yours, and counsel should confirm which laws apply to your business.

How to use this when you budget

Start by counting your sites, since that's your number. Check the pricing page to see where the automatic discounts land as the count grows. If you run client sites, the per-site line maps cleanly onto what you already charge for hosting or care plans, so compliance becomes a service you can quote instead of a cost you absorb.

UserGuard is newly launched, so this describes how the pricing is built, and we don't have a decade of history to point to. That's why the guarantee exists. Put one site on it, look at the first scan when it comes back, and decide based on your own evidence.
