Try it yourself

Try a cleaner alternative without paying first.

Start with the free tier, validate it on your own traffic, and move into a Pro trial or paid plan only when the scale of your site demands it.

Start on a real domain before you commit to a migration or rollout.
Compare privacy posture and workflow in practice, not just from screenshots.
Upgrade only when traffic volume or team access needs actually require it.
