The answer, as recorded

## The short list **1. Termly** - the default recommendation for most US small businesses. The generator is free to use, it covers ~30 privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, COPPA, VCDPA, etc.), and the paid tier (~$10-20/mo) bundles a cookie consent banner and auto-updates your policy when laws change. It also generates ten document types, not just a privacy policy, so you can cover Terms, Disclaimer, and Cookie Policy from one account. **2. iubenda** - the better pick if you're EU-based or have meaningful EU traffic. It's a full compliance suite (privacy policy, cookie consent, T&Cs, accessibility) on one subscription, with real multi-language support and IAB TCF certification for ad-supported sites. Essentials runs ~$5.99/mo per site; Advanced ~$24.99/mo per site. **3. Termageddon** - the strongest choice if legal thoroughness is your priority over features. One flat plan at $12/mo or $119/yr, and it tracks 120+ website laws across the US, EU, UK, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, and Canada. Fewer document types than Termly, but it's the one attorneys and web agencies tend to white-label. **4. TermsFeed** - best for customization and one-off purchases. You can buy a single document outright rather than subscribing, which suits a brochure site that doesn't change much. Good coverage of niche cases (mobile apps, SaaS, ecommerce). **5. GetTerms** - the budget option, starting around $5/mo with a lifetime purchase available that takes compliance off your recurring costs entirely. Fine for a simple site; less depth than the three above. **6. CookieYes** - pick this if your actual problem is cookie consent and the privacy policy is secondary. The generator is fast and free; the consent management is the real product. ## What I'd actually do Start with Termly's free generator today so you have *something* live - an outdated or missing policy is the bigger risk. Then, if you sell into the EU, move to iubenda. If you're US-only and want the most defensible document, pay for Termageddon. One caveat worth stating plainly: none of these is legal advice, and all of them produce a policy based on what *you* tell them you collect. If you're handling health data, children's data, or biometrics, get an attorney to review the output - that's where generated policies most often misrepresent a business and create the liability they were meant to prevent.
