Comparison
ConsentForge vs Plugin-based CMPs
Plugin-based CMPs are great for simple websites. As compliance requirements grow, teams typically find they need ConsentForge's evidence layer and distribution capabilities.
Why teams choose ConsentForge
Compliance evidence
Most plugin-based CMPs don't offer cryptographic evidence logs. ConsentForge logs every consent action with a signed timestamp for 7 years — essential for DPA investigations.
Webhook distribution
ConsentForge pushes consent signals to your entire stack via webhooks and GTM. Plugin-based CMPs have limited distribution capabilities beyond basic GTM triggers.
Enterprise features
ConsentForge offers SSO, RBAC, dedicated infrastructure, and SLA guarantees. Plugin-based CMPs are built for SMBs and lack enterprise controls.
