Yes. The 7-day trial includes 20 credits, one website, full results and exports, privacy tests, and GTM integration in read-only mode. No credit card is required. Click here to start.

You can change your plan in the Tagmaps application. Higher-capacity upgrades take effect immediately, reset the billing cycle, and include the prorated amount shown before you confirm. Downgrades and billing-cadence changes take effect at the end of your current billing cycle.

All major credit cards via Stripe. Invoicing is available under certain circumstances; get in touch if you need this.

Discovery scans use one credit for each block of up to 50 completed pages. Each individual privacy or compliance test uses one credit. Credits are capped at your plan allocation, do not roll over, and never incur overage fees. You can view usage and manage your plan after signing in.

Tagmaps loads your website in a real browser, navigates pages, interacts with your consent banner, and records network requests, cookies, and scripts. It maps how they load and where they come from, then enriches the results with known-technology data. In publish-capable Controller modes, Tagmaps can test an exact unpublished GTM candidate through a dedicated preview environment; read-only mode tests the built-in Latest environment. The same engine scans your live sites.

Tagmaps includes pre-built tests for regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. Each test runs from the relevant location and compares your site's behavior. A CCPA opt-out test, for example, runs from California, submits an opt-out or Global Privacy Control signal, and checks that sale- or sharing-related technologies covered by your policy respect that choice. Controller tests use either the exact unpublished candidate in publish-capable modes or the built-in Latest environment in read-only mode.

No. Tagmaps loads your site from the public internet the way a visitor would and uses Google's official Tag Manager API for the customer-authorized read, configuration, permission-check, and publish operations described in our Privacy Policy. There is nothing to install and no access to your servers or codebase.

Some tools only see what loads before a visitor gives consent. Tagmaps detects your consent platform and interacts with it directly, so it also captures what fires after consent. You get the real behavior of your site, before and after the banner.

Yes. Available proxy regions depend on your account and currently include EU and UK locations, California, Colorado, and Brazil. If you need another region, contact support.

Tagmaps records the failing result and does not publish that version. Depending on your mode, it reports the result or notifies the selected recipients. Existing GTM users can still publish directly unless you enable publisher controls, so a failing result is not an absolute block in every configuration.

No. Your team keeps its GTM access. Direct publishing remains available unless you enable publisher controls. Tagmaps can downgrade eligible container publishers, but Google Tag Manager Administrators must be managed manually.

Yes. Read-only mode observes and tests the built-in Latest GTM environment without changing GTM or pinning an exact candidate. Notify mode adds selected-recipient notifications without holding or publishing the version. You can later require human approval in Tagmaps or enable automatic publishing for passing versions.

The Controller monitors or gates changes made through Google Tag Manager web containers according to your selected mode. Tags hardcoded into your site or added outside GTM are not controlled by the Controller, but live-site scans can still detect and report them.

All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Each organization's data is isolated and inaccessible to other customers.

Most targeted tests finish within a few minutes. Timing varies with the number of stages and pages, the site's response time, and your scan settings.

Tagmaps polls GTM on your configured cadence. After it detects a candidate and completes the test, it reports, notifies, waits for human approval, or auto-publishes according to your selected mode; not every passing version publishes immediately.

No. Tagmaps is fully cloud based. You connect a Google identity for setup and grant a separate Tagmaps service account the GTM role needed for runtime operations, then choose your sites and controls in the browser.

Yes, if it is a site you own or are authorized to scan and it is reachable over the public internet without a login, VPN, or HTTP basic authentication. Tagmaps does not sign in. If a CDN, firewall, or bot protection blocks the scanner, you can allowlist the Tagmaps scanner IP ranges and User-Agent documented in our knowledgebase.

Yes. Every paid plan includes a website allowance. Current self-serve plans cover 1 to 40 websites. You can upgrade as your portfolio grows or contact us about higher-capacity requirements.
