WPLP Review (2026)Priced by Site Count, Not Pageviews
By Daan Haket · Researched and written with an AI assistant · who does what
The paid platform sells breadth, not a different product: the free WPLP Cookie Consent plugin already includes the cookie banner, the scanner, script blocking, a consent log and Google Consent Mode v2 according to its own listing, so a single site may never need to pay.
WordPress site owners and small agencies that want cookie consent and generated legal pages inside WordPress, with consent records in their own database, and agencies looking after several sites who want one yearly price per site count instead of a pageview meter.
your sites are not on WordPress, you need a lawyer-reviewed policy rather than a generated template, or you were counting on automatic policy updates and data-request automation, which the pricing page still lists as coming soon.

Pricing (2026)
✓ Pricing re-verified 12 Oct 2026
Two layers. The base is two free WordPress plugins, WPLP Legal Pages and WPLP Cookie Consent. The cookie plugin's own listing says the free version already includes the cookie banner, the cookie scanner, automatic blocking of tracking scripts until consent, category consent, a preference centre, a consent log stored in your own WordPress database and Google Consent Mode v2. On top of that sits the paid WPLP Compliance Platform, billed yearly in US dollars and priced only by the number of sites: $48 a year for 3 sites, $72 for 10, $168 for 25, $312 for 50 and $588 for 100.
Every paid plan carries the same features; the page states there is no per-domain pricing and the FAQ says you only pay more to use the features on more sites. What paying adds, per the plugin listing and the pricing page: geo-targeted banners and automatic detection of the visitor's law, IAB TCF v2.3, A/B testing of banners, branding removal, a multisite dashboard that manages several separate WordPress installs from one login, and priority support.
The pricing page lists no caps on pageviews, cookie scans or pages per scan. The first payment gets 15% off automatically, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee, upgrades are prorated, there is no long-term contract, and the FAQ says your rate will not rise for as long as you keep the subscription. Three features on the pricing page are marked coming soon rather than available: automated processing of data-subject requests, a compliance blueprint that applies one setup to every site, and policies that update themselves when a law changes. Plans change — always verify the live price on their site.
What the pricing page doesn’t say
Three headline features on the pricing page, automatic policy updates, automated data-request processing and the compliance blueprint, are marked coming soon. The legal pages come from a questionnaire and templates, not from a lawyer. It is WordPress only. And the vendor's own numbers do not line up: the pricing page says 20,000+ sites, the cookie plugin's listing 30,000+, and the Legal Pages listing on wordpress.org still has unfilled template placeholders around its install count and around whether premium is a one-time or an annual licence, while the pricing page sells yearly plans. We have not run WPLP ourselves.
What WPLP does
WordPress compliance platform from the makers of WP Legal Pages: free plugins for a cookie consent banner with script blocking and Google Consent Mode v2 and for generated legal pages, plus a paid dashboard priced by number of sites with TCF and geo-targeting.
The tiers only buy more sites
There is one feature set and five site counts, so the only real question is whether you need the paid layer at all. For a single site that wants a cookie banner that blocks scripts until consent, a consent log and Google Consent Mode v2, the free cookie plugin already does that according to its own listing. The paid platform earns its money in three situations: you need IAB TCF v2.3 because you run programmatic ads, you want the banner to change by visitor location, or you look after several sites and want them in one dashboard without the WPLP credit on the banner.
The ladder rewards scale. Our arithmetic on their figures: 3 sites at $48 is $16 a site a year, 10 sites at $72 is $7.20, 25 at $168 is $6.72, 50 at $312 is $6.24 and 100 at $588 is $5.88. The steepest drop is between 3 and 10 sites, so an agency with four or five client sites should price the 10-site plan before the 3-site one. The 15% first-payment discount applies once; budget the second year at the list price, which the FAQ says will not rise while you stay subscribed.
How to actually use WPLP
Install the two free plugins first and run the cookie scanner on your real site before buying anything. The scan shows which scripts and cookies your site actually loads, and that list decides whether you need more than the free tier: Google Analytics and Ads behind Consent Mode v2 are covered for free, while IAB TCF v2.3 for ad networks and location-based banners are paid. Generate the legal pages from the questionnaire, then read them.
WPLP Legal Pages fills its templates with your business details, and the result is a generated document, not advice from a lawyer; check every clause against what your site really does, especially anything about payments, children or data leaving the EU. If you buy the platform for several sites, note that its multisite dashboard connects separate WordPress installs and is not the same as a WordPress Multisite network. And keep a calendar note for law changes: automatic policy updates are listed as coming soon, so for now you redo a policy yourself when the rules change.
Where this section comes from: our research notes (133 words)
WPLP's own pages, read in a live browser on 12 October 2026: the pricing page at wplegalpages.com/pricing (all five site counts chosen in the selector, the 15% first-payment discount, the 30-day money-back guarantee, the feature list with its three coming-soon items, and the FAQ answers on prorated upgrades, identical features in every plan, no long-term contract and the locked-in rate), and the two free plugin listings on wordpress.org: WPLP Legal Pages (wordpress.org/plugins/wplegalpages) and WPLP Cookie Consent (wordpress.org/plugins/gdpr-cookie-consent), which state what the free versions include and what premium adds.
The refund-policy page refused our browser with a Cloudflare block, so its wording is not used here. Install counts are the vendor's own claims, and they differ between pages. WPLP is an Awin partner of ours. We have not run WPLP on a site ourselves.
WPLP vs iubenda, side by side
Each column shows the vendor’s own published entry price, read on the date shown. Entry prices can cover different services or units, so check what each one buys. We do not average them into a score.
Both names above are affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you. Neither changes what this table says.
The natural comparison is iubenda — iubenda is in our dossiers too, read on 9 October 2026: it is priced per site per month with a pageview quota, from €4.99 a site a month billed yearly on Essentials for up to 25K pageviews and one language, and €0.05 per 1,000 extra pageviews above the quota. WPLP, read on 12 October 2026, is $48 a year for 3 WordPress sites with no pageview or scan caps on the pricing page, falling to $5.88 a site a year at 100 sites. On cost for busy WordPress sites WPLP is far lower, and the currencies are not converted here. iubenda's advantage is reach: it works as a hosted service on any platform, while WPLP lives inside WordPress and has its automatic policy updates still marked coming soon..
Frequently asked questions
Do I need the paid plan for a GDPR cookie banner?
Often not. The WPLP Cookie Consent listing on wordpress.org, read 12 October 2026, says the free plugin includes the banner, the cookie scanner, script blocking until consent, category consent, a consent log in your own database and Google Consent Mode v2. The paid platform adds geo-targeted banners, IAB TCF v2.3, A/B testing, branding removal and the multisite dashboard.
What does WPLP cost for several client sites?
It is priced by site count, billed yearly in US dollars: $48 for 3 sites, $72 for 10, $168 for 25, $312 for 50 and $588 for 100, every plan with every feature. That is $16 a site at 3 sites and $5.88 at 100, our arithmetic. The first payment gets 15% off and there is a 30-day money-back guarantee. Read on wplegalpages.com/pricing on 12 October 2026.
Will WPLP update my privacy policy when the law changes?
Not yet. Auto-updated policies are listed on the pricing page as coming soon, as are automated processing of data requests and a blueprint that applies one setup to all sites. Today you regenerate or edit a policy yourself when the rules change. Read on 12 October 2026.
