EUComply vs Iubenda: which one fits EU compliance work?
Iubenda is the most prominent Italy-born compliance suite for websites — best known for its privacy and cookie policy generator and its consent management product. If you are evaluating it against alternatives, this page compares it with EUComply's free scanner and current WordPress Pro honestly, including what both tools do not do. Pricing details change often, so always confirm current numbers on the vendor's own site.
The short version: Iubenda is strong on documents and consent — policies, banners and preference management across many jurisdictions. EUComply is a technical website scanner with WordPress document tools: the current Pro license provides editable HTML starters and an HTML report from the latest WordPress scan. Hosted daily monitoring is not included.
Side by side
| Iubenda | EUComply: free scanner + WordPress Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie banner / consent management | ✓ Core feature (CMP) | No — the free scanner checks consent mechanisms; Pro does not serve a banner |
| Privacy / cookie policy generator | ✓ Large multi-jurisdiction library | No full generator. WordPress Pro includes editable HTML starter documents for DPA, NIS2/DORA and EAA |
| Automated technical scan of your live site | Limited — mainly cookie/tracker detection tied to the banner | Free scanner: 9 URL checks. Free plugin: 6 WordPress checks. Pro adds document starters and the latest-scan HTML report |
| German Impressum detection | — | ✓ Free scanner |
| DORA page-signal markers (not an assessment) | — | ✓ Free scanner |
| European Accessibility Act basics (accessibility-statement link) | Add-on products | ✓ Free scanner |
| DORA vendor-compliance checklist material | — | Starter NIS2/DORA clauses included in WordPress Pro; full templates sold separately |
| Works on any platform (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, custom…) | ✓ Via embed snippet | Free scanner works on any URL; Pro documents require WordPress |
| Pricing model | Monthly subscriptions per product, per site; features split across tiers | Flat $79/year per site for current WordPress Pro tools |
What Iubenda does better
- Serving consent. A certified consent-management platform with granular preference centres, cross-domain sync and ad-tech integrations (IAB TCF, Google Consent Mode). We deliberately don't build banners.
- Document generation. A deep, continuously maintained library of jurisdiction-aware policy documents — broader than our template set.
- Ecosystem depth. Native plugins and integrations for many platforms, plus legal-design styling for banners and documents.
What EUComply does better
- The technical half of compliance. Iubenda's focus is consent and paperwork. Our checks target obligations that document tools never verify: the German Impressum requirement, DORA page-signal markers (not an assessment), EAA accessibility basics, DORA vendor documentation and server-side security headers like HSTS.
- Current Pro scope. The WordPress plugin provides editable HTML starter documents, an HTML report from the latest scan, the same report as a PDF, a per-check scan history and an e-mail alert when a check passes and later fails. Hosted monitoring and a live badge are planned, not included today.
- Documents you can edit. The current WordPress Pro license provides editable HTML starters and an HTML report from the latest scan. Full templates are sold separately.
- Predictable price. One flat $79/year per site covering the current WordPress Pro tools. No per-product subscriptions, no feature gates that move as your traffic grows.
Which should you pick?
- You need a cookie banner and generated legal policies: Iubenda (or another dedicated CMP) is the right category of tool.
- You sell into the EU and want a fresh technical check plus WordPress document tools: that is the current EUComply Pro scope. A CMP handles consent; EUComply handles point-in-time checks and local document generation.
- Need document tools for a WordPress site: the current Pro license provides editable HTML starters and an HTML report from the latest scan.
Honest limits: no automated scanner can prove legal compliance — only reduce risk and surface issues. Neither tool replaces legal advice. And if your primary need is serving user consent itself, neither our scanner nor any monitor substitutes for a real consent-management platform.
