# Pandectes Shopify App Alternatives: 5 Options Compared > For the complete site index, see [llms.txt](/llms.txt). Every page is also available as Markdown: replace the trailing slash with `.md` (`/pricing/` becomes `/pricing.md`), or send `Accept: text/markdown` to the page URL itself. --- **Author:** Shreya **Categories:** Consent **URL:** https://www.cookieyes.com/blog/pandectes-shopify-app-alternatives/ --- Stores that start comparing Pandectes Shopify app alternatives usually have the same five names on the list: CookieYes, Consentmo, Avada, Consentik and Complianz. Each one can put a compliant banner on your store. The difference is how far up the price list you have to go before the features that keep your ads and analytics working are switched on. The job of a cookie consent app is the same everywhere: show the banner, record the choice, and hold trackers back until the visitor agrees. The comparison below starts with a side-by-side table, then takes each app in turn. *Prices and plan details were checked against each app's Shopify App Store listing at the time of writing.* ## Pandectes vs 5 alternatives at a glance The table shows the lowest plan on which each feature appears, which tells you more than the free-to-install label. *Swipe left to see all the apps.* | | Pandectes | CookieYes | Consentmo | Avada | Consentik | Complianz | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Built for Shopify | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | | Google CMP tier | Silver | Gold | Silver | Certified, no tier listed | Gold | Silver | | Paid plans per month | $9 to $49 | All essentials free | $10 to $99 | $9.95 to $34 | $7.99 to $39.99 | $5.99 | | Google Consent Mode v2 | Plus, $9 | Free | Standard, $10 | Professional, $9.95 | PLUS, $7.99 (Advanced Mode) | Premium, $5.99 | | Script blocking until consent | Premium, $29 (popular services) | Free | Standard, $10 | Professional, $9.95 (known integrations) | PLUS, $7.99 | Free | | Region-specific banners | Free | Free | Plus, $37 | Professional, $9.95 | ADVANCED, $19.99 | Free | | AI cookie scanning | Plus, $9 | Free | Plus, $37 | Advanced, $23.95 | Not listed | Not listed | | IAB TCF | Enterprise, $49 (2.4) | Free (2.4) | Max, $99 (2.4) | Enterprise, $34 (2.4) | UNLIMITED, $39.99 (2.4) | Premium, $5.99 (2.2) | | Banner languages | All EU languages free | 40+ free | 1 free; more from $10 | Unlimited from $23.95 | 2 from $7.99; unlimited at $39.99 | Multiple, free | | Best for | A long track record and a full compliance suite | Ad-ready consent from a Gold-tier CMP, free | A broad compliance suite | Live chat and policy pages on a free plan | Low-cost paid plans from a Gold-tier CMP | The cheapest paid plan with TCF | *All figures are monthly, in US dollars. Consentmo's come from its pricing page; the rest come from the Shopify App Store. Google tiers are as shown in Google's CMP Partner Program directory. Where a plan list doesn't mention a feature, the cell says "Not listed".* ## Pandectes pricing and plans Pandectes pitches itself as a complete compliance suite rather than a banner alone: a GDPR and CCPA cookie banner, a web accessibility widget for ADA and WCAG, and an EU withdrawal module. The listing calls it a Shopify Plus Partner and a Google and Microsoft certified CMP, built for Online Store 2.0 and for Hydrogen or headless stores, with 24/7 live support. It has been on the App Store since September 2018, the developer is based in Estonia, and the admin is available in 9 languages. **Works with:** checkout, customer accounts, Shopify Markets, Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity and UET, Meta Pixel, TikTok, Klaviyo and Shopify Sidekick. The four plans on its listing: - **Basic, free:** unlimited impressions, a customisable banner, geolocation, customer data requests, a customer accounts extension, banner text in all EU languages, a consent tracking report and automatic cookie scans. - **Plus, $9 a month or $90 a year:** Google Consent Mode v2, an AI cookie and tracker scanner, custom pixel support, Meta Pixel, Microsoft UET and Clarity consent, an automated cookie policy page and more languages. - **Premium, $29 a month or $290 a year:** web accessibility tools, an auto-blocker for popular services, advanced blocking rules, a checkout banner on the thank-you page, custom CSS, an EU withdrawal page and a live store preview. - **Enterprise, $49 a month or $490 a year:** scheduled scans, including for password-protected stores, bot blocking, inline script blocking, a Shopify Plus checkout banner, an IAB TCF 2.4 banner, headless and Hydrogen support and a JavaScript API. Each paid plan has a 7-day free trial. **What reviewers say about Pandectes:** merchants describe it as a reliable, all-in-one consent solution and often single out its fast, thorough support. Reviewers also mention time-consuming settings, limited banner styling out of the box and the price jump to Premium. Three things tend to push stores towards an alternative: - **Consent Mode v2 and blocking are on different plans.** Consent Mode v2 starts at $9, but the auto-blocker waits for Premium at $29. - **Premium bundles tools you may not need.** Accessibility and EU withdrawal come with the plan whether you use them or not. - **TCF is on the top plan only.** The IAB TCF 2.4 banner needs Enterprise at $49 a month. ## What to look for when you compare alternatives Installing is free almost everywhere. The price that matters is the one you'll pay once ad consent, blocking and regions are turned on, so compare the plan you'd use, not the entry point. - **Consent signals for ads:** Google Consent Mode v2 relays each visitor's decision to Google tags, including the two v2 signals for ad user data and ad personalisation. If Google or Meta ads matter to you, make sure Consent Mode v2 and script blocking are on the plan you'll buy, not only the top one. - **Google CMP certification:** Google's CMP Partner Program sorts certified platforms into Gold, Silver and Bronze tiers, judged partly on support and ease of integration. Any app can be checked in [Google's CMP Partner Program directory](https://cmppartnerprogram.withgoogle.com/). - **Region-specific banners:** [Shopify's guidance](https://help.shopify.com/manual/privacy-and-security/privacy/customer-privacy-settings/privacy-settings) treats the EEA and the UK as opt-in regions and the US as a region where cookies don't need opt-in. Selling to both means two banners, shown by location. Our guide to [GDPR compliance for Shopify stores](https://www.cookieyes.com/blog/shopify-gdpr-compliance/) goes deeper on the EU rules. - **Banner languages:** the number that counts is the one on your plan. Pandectes includes all EU languages free; Consentmo's free plan has one and Consentik's PLUS plan has two. - **IAB TCF:** IAB Europe's [Transparency and Consent Framework](https://www.cookieyes.com/blog/iab-tcf-explained/) passes consent to ad tech vendors in a standard format. It only matters if your vendors read it, and it usually sits on the most expensive plan. ## The 5 best Pandectes Shopify app alternatives, in detail For each app: what it's built for, what every plan adds, what it works with, and what merchants say. ## 1.

The same review points out that key features are spread across paid tiers, that consent and pixel setups need retesting after theme changes, and that the app requests broad access to customer, order and theme data. - **Pros:** the widest set of extras on this list, and Consent Mode v2 with script blocking together on the $10 plan. - **Cons:** smart geotargeting needs $37 a month and TCF $99. - **Keep in mind:** Google lists Consentmo as Silver-tier, the same as Pandectes. ## 3. Avada Avada targets EU shops, US sellers and stores selling worldwide. It works out each visitor's country, shows the banner that market needs, passes consent to Google Consent Mode v2 and Google Tag Manager, and ships privacy policy pages for GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, PIPEDA and APPI on every plan.

Google's partner directory shows no tier for Avada. ## 4. Consentik Consentik is the other Gold-tier CMP in this comparison. It handles GDPR, CCPA and LGPD through a customisable banner and preferences popup, and adds an EU withdrawal form and a web accessibility widget for ADA, EAA and WCAG, which makes it the closest match to the Pandectes bundle. Consentik says its Consent Mode v2 setup sends an accurate gcd parameter to support consent rates and ad performance. The app has been on the App Store since March 2018, and its admin is available in 9 languages. **What each plan adds:** - **FREE:** unlimited impressions, a banner and preferences popup, appearance customisation, a cookie policy page generator, automatic cookie scans and Shopify's Customer Privacy API. - **PLUS, $7.99 a month or $69.99 a year:** Google Consent Mode v2 (Advanced Mode), auto-blocking of tracking scripts, consent logs and data request management, Global Privacy Control, Web Pixel support and banners in up to 2 languages. - **ADVANCED, $19.99 a month or $179.99 a year:** smart geo-targeting, Microsoft UET consent mode, web accessibility, an EU withdrawal form, consent resets, an option to block interaction until consent and up to 5 languages. - **UNLIMITED, $39.99 a month or $359.99 a year:** IAB TCF 2.4, Google Additional Consent, unlimited languages with Google Translate, scheduled consent log exports, headless store support, advanced consent statistics and cross-domain consent sharing. **Works with:** checkout extensibility and customer accounts, Google Consent Mode v2, Microsoft UET, IAB TCF 2.4, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Shopify Web Pixel, Global Privacy Control and headless stores. **What reviewers say:** merchants say it's easy to set up without GDPR expertise and praise its fast, proactive support. - **Pros:** a highly customisable banner, custom script and Consent Mode support, reliable performance and good-value plans. - **Cons:** cheaper plans cap banner languages at 2 or 5, and geo-targeting starts at $19.99 a month. - **Keep in mind:** TCF needs $39.99 a month. The accessibility and withdrawal tools cost $19.99 here against $29 on Pandectes. ## 5. Complianz Complianz is a Silver-tier Google CMP. It's the former GDPR Legal Cookie app, rebranded as Complianz in 2025.

Under Settings and then Customer privacy, Shopify offers a banner of its own. According to [Shopify](https://help.shopify.com/manual/privacy-and-security/privacy/customer-privacy-settings/privacy-settings), it governs Shopify-specific tools, including [Shopify's own cookies](https://www.cookieyes.com/blog/shopify-cookies/) and Shopify Pixels. For third-party cookies or pixels, whether added by hand or through apps, Shopify says a third-party cookie banner or custom logic may be needed. ## Best Pandectes Shopify app alternative If you're leaving Pandectes, CookieYes is the strongest overall replacement: a Gold-tier Google CMP, Built for Shopify, with Consent Mode v2, script blocking, IAB TCF 2.4 and banners in 40+ languages included free. The features that cost $9, $29 and $49 a month on Pandectes come without a price list to climb. The rest each fit a particular need.
