Disclosure and short answer
We make Complimus, so read this as a vendor’s comparison. Every fact about Avada GDPR Cookie Consent comes from its own Shopify App Store listing, checked on 3 November 2026. Where the listing is silent we write “Listing does not say”, not “no”. The two apps do different jobs and do not overlap. Avada GDPR Cookie Consent is a consent tool: a cookie banner per market with Google Consent Mode v2, a cookie scanner, data requests and a privacy policy page generator on every plan. Complimus covers four rules on the product page and at checkout: the Omnibus prior price, GPSR, the EU guarantee notice and the withdrawal button. A store that sells to EU shoppers usually needs both.

What each listing says
Avada GDPR Cookie Consent
Launched 15 April 2022, with a Built for Shopify badge. The listing describes a cookie banner for each market, consent signals to Google Consent Mode v2 and Google Tag Manager, a cookie scanner, customer data requests with a "Do Not Sell or Share" opt-out, a privacy policy page for GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, PIPEDA and APPI on every plan, and an IAB TCF v2.4 banner with headless support on Enterprise. It names ten privacy laws. Plans: free, then $9.95, $23.95 and $34 a month, each paid plan with a 7-day trial.
Complimus
Four EU rules on the product page and at checkout: the Omnibus lowest prior price from a daily record per variant and per market, with the rule set per EU country; GPSR manufacturer and responsible person details; the EU guarantee notice and durability label; and the withdrawal button with its confirmations. GPSR, the guarantee notice and the withdrawal button are free on every plan. Complimus does not provide a cookie banner, GDPR request handling or legal page generation. Hosted in Germany, EU data only.
How to choose
- If you need a cookie banner, Consent Mode v2 or a generated privacy policy, Avada GDPR Cookie Consent does that and Complimus does not.
- If you need the Omnibus prior price, GPSR details, the EU guarantee notice or the withdrawal button, Complimus does that and the Avada listing does not mention them.
- The two apps do not overlap, so the choice is not one or the other: check what each rule asks of your store and cover each one once.
- Both have a free plan, so the first step costs nothing either way.
