Osano is an enterprise platform. If you're a small business or independent site, here's what matters.
Osano Starter costs $99/month — $1,188/year. That's a significant budget item for an enterprise compliance platform. If your website just needs a cookie policy and consent banner, you're paying enterprise prices for a document generator use case.
Osano's free tier is limited to 5,000 monthly visitors. A modest blog or small SaaS product can cross this in weeks. FreeTOS has no visitor limits at all — growing traffic never triggers an upgrade requirement.
Osano's free tier displays Osano branding on your consent banner. Your visitors see their logo on your site. FreeTOS generates completely unbranded banner code — your site looks professional with no third-party logos attached.
Osano requires account creation and onboarding before you can use any features. FreeTOS generates your policy and banner code in under 60 seconds with no registration, no email, no demo call required.
FreeTOS delivers downloadable files you host yourself. No vendor lock-in — your policy stays online regardless of pricing changes or plan cancellations. Osano manages your consent infrastructure on their servers.
FreeTOS uses Google Gemini AI to write a cookie policy tailored to your business type, jurisdiction, and data practices. You get a document specific to your site, not a generic template with your name dropped in.
Cookie policy is just one of 26 free documents on FreeTOS.
Generate your cookie policy AND consent banner code free in under 60 seconds. No account. No visitor limits. No subscription.
Osano is an enterprise data privacy platform that offers consent management, vendor risk assessment, privacy monitoring, and data subject request management. It starts at $99/month and is designed for mid-to-large organizations with dedicated legal and compliance teams. It's not a simple policy generator — it's a full privacy operations platform.
Osano has a free tier for sites under 5,000 monthly visitors with Osano branding on the consent banner. For most growing businesses, you quickly exceed this limit — and removing the branding requires upgrading to a paid plan. The Starter plan begins at $99/month, which is a significant cost for a small website just needing a cookie policy.
FreeTOS generates a GDPR-compliant cookie policy document and consent banner code completely free, with no visitor limits, no branding, and no account required. For small businesses and individual website owners who need a solid cookie policy and banner without enterprise pricing, FreeTOS covers everything you legally need at zero cost.
Enterprise teams with complex vendor networks benefit from Osano's monitoring — it tracks data processors, assesses vendor privacy risk, and alerts you to changes in vendor data practices. For a standard website that just needs a cookie policy and banner, these features are significantly more than required. FreeTOS covers the basics at zero cost.
Once your site exceeds 5,000 monthly visitors on Osano's free tier, you'll need to upgrade to their Starter plan at $99/month. At 25,000 visitors, the Growth plan at $199/month becomes relevant. FreeTOS has no visitor counting or limits at any level — there is no threshold that triggers an upgrade requirement.
No — and we're honest about that. Osano provides vendor risk assessment, consent logs, privacy monitoring, DSR management, and an enterprise compliance dashboard. FreeTOS generates documents and banner code. These are different tools serving different needs. FreeTOS is the right choice for small businesses, startups, developers, and any site that needs GDPR-compliant cookie documentation without enterprise overhead. Osano is the right choice for mid-market and enterprise teams managing complex privacy programs.
Osano is genuinely excellent for enterprise use cases. Here's when it's worth the cost.
Osano monitors thousands of data vendors and scores them on privacy risk. If you're managing a complex tech stack with dozens of third-party integrations — analytics, CRMs, ad platforms, customer support tools — and you need to know which vendors are compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and other regulations, Osano provides a service FreeTOS simply doesn't offer. This is an enterprise compliance tool, not a document generator.
Osano includes workflows for handling GDPR right-to-erasure requests, access requests, and other data subject rights. If your organization receives DSRs regularly and needs a structured way to process, track, and document them, Osano's platform provides real operational value. FreeTOS generates the policy that discloses these rights — it doesn't manage the request workflow.
Osano is designed for teams with a DPO (Data Protection Officer), legal counsel, and active compliance monitoring needs. If privacy is a company-wide program with multiple stakeholders and audit requirements, Osano's dashboard, reporting, and monitoring features justify the $99-$399/month investment. FreeTOS is the right starting point, not the end destination, for organizations at that scale.
Your site is new or just launched. You need a cookie policy and consent banner before you open to users. Spending $99/month on enterprise privacy infrastructure before you have any revenue is backwards. FreeTOS gets you legally covered instantly at zero cost — upgrade to a platform like Osano if and when your compliance requirements genuinely grow to that level.
You're building websites for clients or running your own products. You need cookie policies for multiple sites, quickly. FreeTOS generates them in seconds with no per-site pricing, no accounts to manage, and no subscriptions to track. The HTML is yours to use however you need it.
A local business, small e-commerce shop, or content website doesn't have a vendor risk program or DSR workflow. It needs a cookie policy and banner that explains what cookies are used and lets visitors accept or decline. FreeTOS provides that — complete and free — without the enterprise layer you'd never use.
Osano charges per tier, and the tiers are built for enterprise visitor volumes. Running multiple small sites means either paying enterprise prices or living with the 5,000 visitor cap per site on the free tier. FreeTOS generates policies for every site you manage at zero cost, with no visitor counting whatsoever.
