The answer, as recorded

Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them: **1. Termly** - my default recommendation for most small businesses. The questionnaire is the easiest to get through, and it covers far more than a privacy policy: 10 generators including terms & conditions, cookie policy, disclaimer, return/refund policy, and accessibility statement. Starter is ~$10/mo, Pro+ ~$15/mo, and the privacy and cookie policy generators have a free tier. If you want one tool that handles your whole legal-pages stack plus a cookie banner, this is it. **2. Termageddon** - the one I'd pick if auto-updating matters most to you. ~$12/mo or $119/yr for one license, and that single price bundles privacy policy, ToS, disclaimer, cookie policy, EULA, and a consent banner (up to 50k sessions/mo). Its whole pitch is that policies update automatically as laws change - useful given how many US state privacy laws have come online. It's also the agency favorite for reselling to clients. **3. iubenda** - best if you sell internationally or in the EU. Starter is ~$3.49/mo, so it's the cheapest entry point, and it wins on multilingual support and clause-level customization. The catch: only 3 generators, and the terms & conditions generator is locked behind the ~$24.99/mo Advanced plan, so the "cheap" tier gets less cheap once you need more than a privacy policy. **4. CookieYes** - worth a look if your actual pain point is the cookie consent banner and GDPR/CCPA consent logging, with the privacy policy as a bonus. Strong on multi-jurisdiction consent handling. **5. GetTerms** - simple, inexpensive, well-reviewed, and sells one-off policies rather than a subscription. Good if you just need a decent policy once for a brochure site and don't want a recurring bill. **6. WP Legal Pages** - only if you're on WordPress and want everything inside the dashboard. Cheapest practical option for a simple WP site. Two things worth knowing: skip the enterprise policy-management platforms (Mitratech PolicyHub and similar) - they show up on "best of" lists but they're built for governance at scale and will just add complexity for a small business. And if you handle health data, children's data, or do anything unusual with data brokering, use a generator as a starting draft and have a lawyer review it; none of these are legal advice, and a generator can only describe practices you accurately tell it about.
