EUComply vs OneTrust: which one fits EU compliance work?
OneTrust is the largest privacy-management platform on the market — consent management, cookie scanning, data-subject-request workflows, assessments and third-party-risk tooling in one enterprise suite, aimed primarily at mid-market and enterprise privacy teams. 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 and are typically quote-based annual contracts, so always confirm current numbers with the vendor.
The short version: OneTrust is strong on consent collection, privacy-program management and vendor risk — it serves the banner, runs your assessments and tracks data-subject requests at enterprise scale. 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.

What OneTrust does better
- Serving and documenting consent at scale. A mature CMP with granular preference controls, consent logging across hundreds of sites and deep regulatory coverage. We deliberately don't build banners — if you need one, a real CMP is the right category of tool.
- Breadth of the privacy program. Assessments, data mapping, DSAR automation, incident response and ESG modules in one platform — built for dedicated privacy teams with budgets to match.
- Enterprise integration. SSO, audit trails and procurement-grade controls that large organisations require.
What EUComply does better
- Everything outside the consent box. An enterprise suite answers "do you collect consent and manage privacy properly?" It says nothing about whether your SSL/HSTS configuration is sane, whether your security headers are set, whether an Impressum exists for German visitors, or whether you can evidence DORA page-signal markers (not an assessment), accessibility-statement links and server-side security headers like HSTS. Those are our nine checks.
- A price a small business can say yes to. If you run a small portfolio of sites, an enterprise quote process is the wrong tool for the job. Flat $79/year per site, self-serve checkout, no sales call.
- 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.
Which should you pick?
- You're an enterprise privacy team running assessments, DSARs and multi-site consent: OneTrust is built for exactly that, and good at it.
- You already run a CMP but need a point-in-time technical check: the free scanner covers that gap. Current WordPress Pro adds editable HTML starter documents and a report from the latest WordPress scan.
- 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 or running a full privacy program, neither our scanner nor any monitor substitutes for a privacy-management platform.
