Why Switch

Faster to deploy, cheaper to run, and easier to customize

Full-stack privacy that runs without tickets, fees, or custom code.

Ketch: 2-4 weeks
vs Transcend: months

Deploy in Weeks, Not Months

Ketch deploys in 2–4 weeks with no-code tools and guided onboarding checklists. Transcend's engineering-heavy setup leads to delayed go-lives and surprise project costs.

Ketch: native connectors
vs Transcend: email-based

Real Integrations, Not Just Emails

Ketch provides native connectors and APIs to actually enforce privacy across data systems. Transcend claims 1,500+ integrations, but many are automated vendor emails, not deep system connections.

Ketch: $0 support fees
vs Transcend: +10–20% of contract value

Zero Support Fees. Always.

Free, dedicated support is included in every Ketch enterprise contract. Transcend requires customers to pay an additional 10–20% of contract value just to get help on top of missed go-live penalties.

Ketch: full no-code editor
vs Transcend: limited editor

Consent That's Truly Customizable

Ketch gives you a fully no-code banner editor with no placement or size restrictions matching your brand perfectly. Transcend's editor is limited and rigid, requiring developer time for even basic tweaks.

Questions about switching?

How does Ketch's pricing compare to Transcend's?

Ketch offers transparent, all-inclusive pricing with no mandatory support surcharges. Transcend requires customers to pay an additional 10–20% of contract value just for support, making total cost of ownership significantly higher over time.

Which platform is easier to implement?

Ketch provides no-code tools, pre-built integrations, and guided onboarding checklists for deployment in 2–4 weeks. Transcend is engineering-heavy, often requiring developer involvement at every stage, leading to longer timelines and cost overruns.

Does Ketch require ongoing engineering support like Transcend?

No. Ketch is designed for business users like legal, marketing, and compliance teams with no-code customization that reduces IT dependency. Transcend relies heavily on engineering resources for setup, maintenance, and changes.

How do the platforms differ on consent enforcement?

Ketch automatically enforces consent choices across all connected data systems including web, mobile, and app at the edge, in real time. Transcend offers consent management but lacks real-time enforcement, often requiring manual intervention to propagate choices downstream.
