WHY BUILDERS SWITCH

You've spent weeks getting the site right. The banner is the one thing you didn't design.

You spend weeks perfecting typography, spacing, and micro-interactions. Then you paste in a third-party compliance script and a clunky widget appears with someone else's logo stamped on your work.

It doesn't have to work that way.

01

Your banner says “Powered by Termly.” You are paying to advertise their product on your client's site.

02

You want to match the brand. That is an upgrade.

03

Every new client site is a new subscription.

04

You are building the site in one tool and managing consent in another.

HOW CONSENTBIT FITS THE WORKFLOW

Four things different by design, not by upgrade.

Illustration: a builder styling a consent banner to match the site

Set it up where you build

Your design workflow is already where you live. ConsentBit stays there too. On Webflow and Framer, it installs natively inside the canvas. No hunting for embed codes, no extra tab. For any other platform, one script tag covers it.

Make it look like the site

Your client hired you for the details. The consent banner shouldn't be the thing that breaks the illusion. Full styling control on every plan, including free. Your colors, your fonts, your corner radius.

Publish with the site

When your client's site is ready, everything should be ready. ConsentBit publishes with it. No checklist, no separate step, no chance of something going live out of order.

Manage more than one site

Managing five clients should not mean five logins and five separate consent setups. One account covers every domain you manage. One place for banners, consent logs, and region settings across all your clients.

AT A GLANCE

Both tools cover the compliance basics. Here is where they differ.

Termly is a widely used compliance platform. It covers the essentials and more. ConsentBit is purpose-built for builders who want consent inside their workflow, not alongside it.

WHERE THE DIFFERENCE ACTUALLY MATTERS
01. Installation

Start where the website already lives.

Pasting scripts into custom code works. But it means consent lives in a different tool, a different tab, a different step, every time you need to make a change.

ConsentBit

With ConsentBit, on Webflow and Framer it installs natively inside your canvas. On WordPress, Shopify, or any other platform, one script tag covers it. Same dashboard, same consent log, everywhere.

Termly

With Termly, it works the same way it always has: a script embed in your site settings. It does what it says. It just means consent stays outside your design workflow.

02. Design

Your banner shouldn't be the thing that breaks the illusion.

You spent days getting the site to feel seamless. The typography, the spacing, the hover states. Your client's banner should not undo that the moment someone hits the page.

ConsentBit

ConsentBit gives you full control over colors, fonts, and layout on every plan, including free. The banner matches the site because you designed it that way.

Termly

With Termly, preset palettes and font options cover most cases. But if the brand has specific requirements or your client notices the watermark, that is a conversation about upgrading you will have to have.

03. Compliance

The legal part shouldn't require a law degree.

Most builders worry about getting this wrong. You don't need to.

ConsentBit

With ConsentBit, you get GDPR, CCPA, US state laws, Google Consent Mode v2, and IAB TCF v2.2 (Essential and above). ConsentBit is also a Google-Certified CMP for consent collection in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, required to run Google Ads and Analytics in those regions. ConsentBit handles the rest automatically by visitor location.

Termly

With Termly, you get the same core coverage: GDPR, CCPA, US state laws, Google Consent Mode v2, and IAB TCF v2.2. Start with GDPR and CCPA — those are the two your clients' visitors actually trigger.

04. Consent Records

When a client gets audited, the answer is already yes.

Imagine a client calls you. They have had a compliance query and need to show proof of consent. That call goes one of two ways depending on which tool you installed.

With ConsentBit

With ConsentBit, every consent event is logged, exportable, and searchable from day one, on every plan. You pull the record. You send it. Done.

With Termly

With Termly, consent logs are a Pro+ feature. On lower plans, consent is being collected correctly. But when the request arrives, you will not have the record to show. That is not a technical problem. That is a conversation with your client you do not want to have.

05. Performance

Compliance shouldn't cost your client a fast site.

You worked hard on performance. The last thing you want is a consent tool quietly undoing it.

ConsentBit

ConsentBit's initial loader is 3.3kb and runs asynchronously. The full banner loads after the page is already interactive. Trackers wait until the visitor decides. Your Lighthouse score stays clean.

Termly

Termly's default is a synchronous load. It can be configured to load asynchronously, but that requires a manual setup most builders do not know they need. Until someone notices the score drop, it runs before the page is ready.

Stop guessing what you are actually paying for.

ConsentBit starts at $9/site/month ($8 billed annually). Termly starts at $10. On one site, the difference is small. Across a client portfolio, it adds up fast.

SWITCHING FEELS RISKY. IT SHOULDN'T.

Three steps. Your clients stay protected the whole way through.

The biggest reason people don't switch compliance tools is fear of a gap — a moment where the old tool is off and the new one isn't running yet. ConsentBit removes that.

1

Install

Add ConsentBit from the Webflow Marketplace or drop a script tag on any platform. Under five minutes per site.

2

Style and configure

Match the banner to your site. Set your regions. Preview before anything goes live.

3

Switch over

Your Termly banner keeps running until you are ready to remove it. There is no moment where your client's site is uncovered.

ConsentBit starts fresh from your activation date. Your existing Termly consent records stay in Termly — there is no import path. New consent events are logged in ConsentBit from the moment it goes live.

FROM BUILDERS WHO HAVE BEEN THERE

You can read the feature list all day. Here is what builders say after they have actually used it.

Testimonials
“Live in minutes, blocked tracking until consent, and didn’t impact load time.”

We plugged ConsentBit into our Webflow site and were live in minutes. The widget looks native, blocks tracking until consent, and didn’t touch our load time. I had a little trouble getting it setup in the beginning but support was fantastic and helped walk me through everything. Easy recommend.

Testimonials
“Easy to install, lightweight, and delivers a great UX for visitors.”

The installation Webflow was simple, lightweight and provides a great UX for our visitors. We'll be recommending to all of our clients.

FAQ

Curiosity calling? Let's dive in.

Does ConsentBit only work on Webflow and Framer?

No. Webflow and Framer are where ConsentBit runs natively inside your design tool. For every other platform including WordPress, Shopify, and custom-built sites, it installs via a script tag. One account, every platform, one dashboard.

Do I need to write code?

No. On Webflow and Framer, you never leave the design canvas. On other platforms, you paste one script tag into your site settings. If you can copy and paste, you can set this up.

Is ConsentBit actually Google-Certified?

Yes. ConsentBit is on Google's official CMP Partner list for consent collection in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland. This is required to run Google Ads and Analytics in those regions. You can verify it directly on Google's site.

How does the cost actually compare to Termly?

ConsentBit starts at $8/site/month (annual). Termly starts at $10/site/month. On one site, the gap is small. On a portfolio of client sites, it compounds. Use the calculator above to see your exact number.

Will it slow my client's site down?

No. The initial loader is 3.3kb and runs asynchronously. There is no render-blocking and no measurable impact on Core Web Vitals. Your clients get compliance without a slower site.

How long does migration actually take?

Most sites are done in under an hour. Install ConsentBit, configure the banner, set your regions, preview it, and publish. Your Termly setup keeps running in parallel until you remove it. There is no compliance gap.

What happens to my existing consent logs when I switch?

ConsentBit starts fresh from your activation date. Your existing Termly consent records stay in Termly — there is no import path. New consent events are logged in ConsentBit from the moment it goes live. For most sites, the practical impact is minimal: returning visitors are asked once more, and all new activity is on record from day one.

Which tool is actually right for me?

Choose ConsentBit if you want consent inside your build workflow. If you manage Webflow or Framer projects, care about how the banner looks, need consent logs without upgrading, or manage multiple client sites, ConsentBit was built around your situation. Choose Termly if you need a broader privacy document suite including privacy policies, terms of service, and data processing agreements, or prefer a tool with a longer market track record. Both are legitimate, compliant tools. The honest question is whether consent should live inside your workflow or alongside it.

Your next site can feel effortless.
