What happened to Crownpeak
Rezolve AI announced its acquisition of Crownpeak on 1 December 2025, saying the deal was expected to close within a day or two. Rezolve's press release described a $90 million transaction — $50 million cash and $33.9 million in equity after adjustment, alongside the assumption of roughly $150 million in debt. A later SEC filing put the purchase price at $81.0 million, with the consideration described as a $50 million promissory note plus 11,127,780 ordinary shares valued at about $31.0 million. The two figures are both public; if the exact number matters to you, read the filing rather than the release.
The brand is being folded in. Visit crownpeak.com today and you land on rezolve.com. Deeper Crownpeak URLs still resolve, the developer documentation for the Universal Consent Platform is still published, and the support portal still serves Crownpeak content — now under Rezolve branding. So this is not a product that has gone dark. It is a product whose owner changed, whose front door now points somewhere else, and whose strategic context is a commerce-AI company rather than a digital experience and privacy vendor.
We're not going to tell you what that means for the roadmap, because nobody outside Rezolve knows yet and anyone claiming otherwise is guessing. What we'd say is that it turns a routine renewal into one worth a few direct questions.
Conzent vs Crownpeak at a glance
| Conzent | Crownpeak (Rezolve AI) | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Per site, not per view — from a few euros per site per month, and the price per site drops as you add more. See current tiers | Quote-only, no public rate card — its published CMP profile says pricing is based on monthly unique visitors and the number of websites, with no amounts given |
| What happens when you grow | Nothing — no allowance to exceed, no overage rate, no surprise line item | Both meters move: more visitors and more websites each raise the price. Without a published rate you can't model it before asking |

| CMS & platform integrations | 6 native integrations: WordPress, Wix, Joomla, Drupal, TYPO3, Umbraco — plus a universal script tag for anything else | UCP tag installed directly or via the GTM Template Gallery; no published CMS-by-CMS integration list |
| Self-hosted / open source | ✓ Yes — OCI, Apache 2.0, one-line installer, unlimited sites and pageviews | ✗ Not published — documentation describes a hosted tag deployment; no self-hosted or open-source edition documented |

Five questions worth asking before you renew
None of these are gotchas. They're the things a privacy or marketing owner should be able to get a straight answer to, and they're easier to ask before a renewal than after one.
1. Who owns the consent roadmap now? Ask for a named product owner and a published roadmap horizon. A consent platform inside a larger commerce business is competing for engineering attention against products that sell differently.
2. Which IAB TCF version does our deployment generate today? The published profile says v2.2. Google's own publisher guidance says newly generated TC strings need to be v2.3 from March 2026 onwards. Ask which version your account is on, and when it moves.
3. Where does our consent data live, and does that change? There's no public residency documentation, so get the current hosting region in writing and ask whether the acquisition changes it.
4. What are the support and SLA arrangements now? The support portal has already changed branding. Confirm who answers a ticket, and under what commitment.
5. What's the exit path? Ask how you export your configuration and your consent records, in what format, and how long you have. Ask this of every vendor, including us.
What Conzent offers instead
Conzent is a consent management platform and nothing else, so there's no larger strategy for it to be absorbed into. The pricing is published per site and falls as you add sites. IAB TCF v2.4 and Google Consent Mode v2, Basic and Advanced, are on every plan.
And the answer to question five is written down in advance: Conzent's core is open source under the Apache 2.0 licence, distributed as an OCI image with a one-line installer. If our commercial terms, our roadmap or our ownership ever stop suiting you, the same platform runs on your own server for free, with no limit on sites or pageviews and your data never leaving it. That's not a promise about the future — it's a licence you already hold.
Switching from Crownpeak? Here's what to expect
Moving CMPs follows the same shape whichever vendor you leave: install the new script alongside the old one for a short test window, run a fresh scan to rebuild your cookie categories, configure and preview the banner, then switch the live script and remove the old one. Historical consent records stay with the vendor that collected them and don't transfer — that's normal for any CMP migration rather than anything specific to Crownpeak, so plan to start your consent log fresh. Enterprise agreements are usually annual with notice periods, so check your renewal date first.
Why teams look at Conzent after an acquisition
A price that's already published
You don't need a quote cycle to find out what Conzent costs, and the number doesn't move because your traffic did. It's on the pricing page, per site, dropping as you add sites.
Consent is the product, not a division
Conzent does one thing. IAB TCF v2.4 and Consent Mode v2 are included on every plan, self-hosted included, because there's no adjacent business for them to be traded against.
An exit that doesn't cost anything
Conzent's core is open source under Apache 2.0. Whatever happens to us commercially, you can run the same platform on your own server for free instead of starting a vendor search.
Frequently asked questions
Has Crownpeak been acquired?
Yes. Rezolve AI announced the acquisition on 1 December 2025. Rezolve's press release described a $90 million transaction; a later SEC filing put the purchase price at $81.0 million. crownpeak.com now redirects to rezolve.com, though deeper Crownpeak URLs and the developer documentation still resolve.
Is the Universal Consent Platform still available?
Yes. The product is still documented and supported, with the support portal now carrying Rezolve branding. Nothing public indicates it has been withdrawn. What isn't public is the roadmap under the new owner, which is why it's worth asking directly.
How much does Crownpeak's consent platform cost?
There's no public rate card. Its published CMP profile says pricing is based on monthly unique visitors and the number of websites, so a quote is the only way to get a number. Conzent publishes its tiers on the pricing page.
Which IAB TCF version does Crownpeak support?
Its published CMP profile states IAB TCF v2.2, and Google Consent Mode v2 was integrated in February 2024. Google's publisher guidance says newly generated TC strings need to be v2.3 from March 2026, so ask what version your own account generates. Conzent runs IAB TCF v2.4 on every plan, self-hosted included.
