EUComply vs Osano: which one fits EU compliance work?
Osano is a US-based privacy management platform — best known for its consent management platform, cookie scanning and a large database of vendor privacy practices, with data-subject-request tooling aimed 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 often quote-based, so always confirm current numbers with the vendor.
The short version: Osano is strong on consent collection, vendor risk scoring and privacy-program management — it serves the banner, scores your vendors and tracks data-subject requests. 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.

| Vendor risk scoring / privacy-program management | ✓ Flagship feature | No vendor scoring. Full DORA templates are sold separately; WordPress Pro includes editable NIS2/DORA starter clauses |
| Data-subject-request (DSAR) workflow | ✓ On higher tiers | No — out of scope for us |

What Osano does better
- Serving consent itself. A mature CMP with granular preference controls, consent logging and broad integrations. We deliberately don't build banners — if you need one, a real CMP is the right category of tool.
- Vendor privacy intelligence. Osano's scored database of thousands of vendors' privacy practices is genuinely unique — valuable if your job includes third-party risk assessments.
- Privacy-program breadth. DSAR handling, assessments and policy management in one suite — built for privacy teams, not individual site owners.
What EUComply does better
- Everything outside the consent box. A CMP suite answers "do you collect consent and manage vendors 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.
- 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, self-serve. No quote process, no sales call, no traffic-based tier jumps — a busy site costs the same as a quiet one.
Which should you pick?
- You need to collect and document cookie consent, or run a privacy program with vendor assessments and DSARs: Osano 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 scoring vendors, neither our scanner nor any monitor substitutes for a privacy-management platform.
