Frequently asked questions
What does Usercentrics cost?
Web CMP starts free for up to 1,000 monthly sessions, then runs from about EUR 7 (USD 8) per month on Essential up to EUR 50 (USD 56) per month on Business for 50,000 sessions and 10 domains. App CMP Advanced starts at EUR 49 per month up to 6,000 daily active users. Corporate plans and Premium app plans are custom-quoted and billed annually. All paid plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card.
How long does implementation take?
Usercentrics is designed for non-technical setup: the pricing FAQ states it does not require deep technical expertise and can be deployed through a Google Tag Manager template or a CMS plugin. Most teams can run the free scanner and publish a banner within days, while large multi-domain rollouts take longer, with one published customer story unifying 120+ domains across 75 countries in four weeks. Corporate customers get an expert-led onboarding package.
Can one platform handle website, app and CTV consent?
Yes. Usercentrics sells separate Web CMP, App CMP and CTV CMP modules that share one account, consent records and cross-device consent sharing. App CMP provides iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native and Unity SDKs with offline caching, and CTV CMP covers OTT apps. Cross-domain and cross-device consent sharing are available on higher tiers.
What is MCP Manager, and do we need it?
MCP Manager is a Usercentrics product, added through the January 2026 acquisition, that governs how AI systems reach business and consumer data over the Model Context Protocol. It centralizes control, monitoring and audit logging of AI data access. Teams deploying AI agents that touch customer data in regulated environments are the target buyer; organizations not running MCP-based AI tooling can ignore it.
Which integrations are available?
CMS and website-builder plugins cover WordPress, Shopify, Wix, HubSpot, Webflow, Squarespace, Drupal, TYPO3, Magento, WooCommerce and others. Tag management works with Google Tag Manager and Adobe Launch; ad-platform signalling covers Google Consent Mode, Google Ads, Microsoft UET and Amazon Consent Signal; and mobile SDKs include Flutter, Unity Ads, Adjust, AppLovin, ironSource and Chartboost. A Partner API and a Data Export API support custom builds.
What support is included?
Support runs through a hotline, AI chatbot, email, ticket support and an extensive knowledge base, and the CMP support centre is stated as available 24/7. SLA levels are best effort on the free tier, Standard on Essential, Plus and Pro, and Premium on Business and Corporate, with response times from up to one business day down to as fast as one hour. Corporate adds onboarding, priority support and a dedicated Customer Success Manager.
