The answer, as recorded

# Privacy policy generators for startups Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in order: **1. Termly** - My default pick for most startups. Fastest setup, the widest document library on the free tier (privacy policy, cookie policy, ToS, disclaimers), and a genuinely usable consent banner with script auto-blocking. Paid plans start around $10-15/month, which is the right price for a seed-stage company that needs to look legitimate on a vendor security questionnaire. Downside: the free policy has a Termly attribution link. **2. iubenda** - The one I'd choose if you have EU users or ship in multiple languages. It builds the policy from the actual services you use (Stripe, Mixpanel, Intercom, etc.) rather than filling in a template, and it handles multilingual policies better than anything else at this price. Plans run roughly €3.50-100/month depending on tier. More fiddly to set up than Termly. **3. Termageddon** - Best if you want a policy you won't have to think about again. Its whole pitch is that it tracks pending privacy legislation and pushes required disclosures into your live policy automatically. ~$119/year. The agency reseller model also makes it popular with people managing several client sites. **4. GetTerms** - Best value if you hate subscriptions. One-time pricing (commonly cited around $79-149 depending on tier) covering GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, and the Australian Privacy Act. Fewer bells and whistles and lower review scores than the above, but for a pre-revenue startup that just needs compliant pages on a marketing site, it's hard to argue with. **5. CookieYes** - I'd pick this specifically if your real problem is cookie consent rather than the policy document. Strong CMP with auto-updates and multi-jurisdiction geo-targeting; the policy generator is a decent bonus rather than the main event. **6. Osano** - Only once you're selling to enterprise and consent management has become a procurement line item. Starts around $199/month, which is overkill for early stage, but it's a real privacy platform rather than a document generator. **Skip for now:** OneTrust. It's the market leader and it's excellent, but it's an enterprise privacy program in a box - pricing and implementation overhead that make no sense until you have a dedicated privacy or compliance owner. **One caveat worth stating plainly:** none of these are legal advice, and a generated policy is only accurate if it describes what your product actually does with data. If you're handling health data, children's data, or doing anything with model training on user content, pay a privacy lawyer for a review once. The generator is for keeping the document current, not for deciding what it should say.
