FAQ
How is Sourcepoint scored?
Sourcepoint scores 3.9 out of 5 in Benchmark Grid's independent Best Consent Management Platforms (CMPs) for Publishers benchmark. The overall figure blends capability (45%), publisher fit (40%) and cost of ownership (15%).

Vendors cannot pay for a score.
What size publisher is Sourcepoint built for?
Sourcepoint is built for mid-market publishers and enterprise publishers. That is the vendor's own stated target, and it is one of the inputs to our publisher-fit score — a platform that suits a national newsroom often carries more operational load than a small one can absorb.
What does Sourcepoint cost?
Our cost-of-ownership score is 2.2/5, which weighs pricing transparency, entry cost, implementation cost, hidden-fee risk and ongoing cost. Ask the vendor for a written first-year figure that includes implementation before you commit.
Who uses Sourcepoint?
We have evidenced 35 publishers running Sourcepoint. Adoptions are detected from site code, ads.txt records and published case studies rather than taken from the vendor's own customer list, and each one is listed on this page.
Can Sourcepoint pay for a better score?
No. Scores come from our editorial review of the product's documentation, demos and public evidence. A vendor can claim this listing or request a re-review, but nothing they buy changes a score or a position.
