3. Mailchimp recommended
   It's built around ~2,000 lawyer-drafted clauses assembled from the actual services you use (Stripe, Google Analytics, Mailchimp, etc.) rather than a fixed template, it scans your site for cookies and trackers, auto-updates when laws change, and supports 15+ languages.

The answer, as recorded

Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them: **1. Termly** - my default pick for most US small businesses. The generator is free for a basic policy, the questionnaire is plain-English, and it bundles a cookie consent banner plus other docs (terms, disclaimer, return policy) in one subscription at roughly $10-20/mo. Covers ~30 privacy laws including GDPR and CCPA/CPRA, and it notifies you when laws change so the policy doesn't silently go stale. **2. iubenda** - the one I'd name if you're EU-based or have meaningful EU traffic. It's built around ~2,000 lawyer-drafted clauses assembled from the actual services you use (Stripe, Google Analytics, Mailchimp, etc.) rather than a fixed template, it scans your site for cookies and trackers, auto-updates when laws change, and supports 15+ languages. ~$9-27/mo depending on plan. More thorough than Termly, slightly more setup work. **3. Termageddon** - the pick if breadth of legal coverage is what you care about. Single plan at $12/mo or $119/yr, and it covers 120+ website-related laws across the US, EU, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and South Africa - noticeably wider than most competitors. Fewer document types (five generators vs. Termly's ten), so it's less of an all-in-one. **4. GetTerms** - best value play. Lawyer-reviewed policies covering GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, and the Australian Privacy Act, plus cookie consent, starting around $5/mo. Good if you want something legitimate and cheap without a full compliance suite. **5. TermsFeed** - the most customizable of the bunch. Granular questions about analytics, newsletters, ad networks, and payment methods, so the output matches an unusual setup better than the others. Pay-per-document rather than subscription, which suits a one-and-done need. **6. CookieYes** - if you just need a basic policy in two minutes with no signup, and you're already using their cookie banner. Thinnest of the options, but fine for a simple brochure site. Two practical notes: a generated policy is only accurate if you actually answer the questionnaire honestly about what you collect and which third parties you share with - the common failure mode is a policy that describes a business you aren't running. And if you handle health data, children's data, or biometrics, skip the generators and pay a lawyer; those sit outside what these tools model well.
