The short answer
Didomi is ahead on six of seven criteria — banner and choice 7.5 to 5.2, prior blocking 5.8 to 4.2, scanning and classification 7.8 to 4.2, consent records 7.7 to 4.3, standards and platforms 7.0 to 5.5, each 6 judges to 0, and pricing transparency 2.5 to 0.7 with 5 leans and 1 tie; pricing is not weighted in Didomi's verdicts. Sovereignty is the exception: 6 judges to 0 lean consentmanager, 5.8 versus 4.0. consentmanager's attributes list data residency and subprocessor exposure as EU only, and the verdict documents PlusServer GmbH hosting in Cologne, a data processing agreement and named subprocessors with countries; Didomi's attributes list both as unknown, and its verdict names Amazon Web Services LLC at a Seattle address as host of the vendor's own website. Weighted totals per judge span 6.3 to 7.0 for Didomi and 4.3 to 5.1 for consentmanager. The benches split by criterion, not by judge.
