The answer, as recorded

Here's who I'd actually point a small business to, roughly in the order I'd suggest them: **1. Termageddon** - my default recommendation for most US small businesses. It's built by privacy attorneys (the president is a licensed privacy attorney and CIPP), and the key thing is that it pushes updates to your *live hosted policy* automatically as new state privacy laws take effect - which matters a lot right now with the patchwork of state laws. One license (~$12/month or $99-119/year) covers Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Terms of Service, Disclaimer, and EULA. Also widely resold through web designers and law firms at wholesale, so your developer may already have it. ([termageddon.com](https://termageddon.com/law-firm-partners/), [kinsta.com](https://kinsta.com/trusted-tools-for-wordpress/termageddon/)) **2. Termly** - best balance of cheap and broad. Free tier to start, Starter around $10/month, Pro+ ~$15/month, and it generates about 10 document types (privacy, cookie, T&C, EULA, return/refund, shipping, disclaimer, accessibility statement, etc.). Easiest setup of the bunch and the widest free document library, so it's the pick if you need several policies and not just one. ([termly.io](https://termly.io/resources/compare/termly-vs-iubenda/), [g2.com](https://www.g2.com/products/termly-io/pricing)) **3. iubenda** - pick this if you have EU/UK exposure or need multiple languages. Stronger multilingual depth and clause-level customization than Termly, and it builds the policy around the actual third-party services you use rather than a fixed template. Entry plans start very low (~$3.49/month) but costs climb as you add sites and features (Advanced ~$25, Ultimate ~$100). Used by 150k+ businesses. ([iubenda.com](https://www.iubenda.com/en/blog/best-privacy-policy-generators/), [consently.net](https://consently.net/blog/iubenda-vs-termly)) **4. GetTerms** - the simplest option, and genuinely fine for a basic brochure site or blog. Free basic plan, policies reviewed by lawyers, covers GDPR, CCPA, CalOPPA, PIPEDA, and the Australian Privacy Act, done in under five minutes. Cheap scalable tiers if you run a few sites. ([getterms.io](https://getterms.io/privacy-policy-generator/ecommerce)) **5. CookieYes** - I'd use this *alongside* one of the above rather than instead of it. Its real strength is cookie consent banners and auto-updating cookie scanning/lists; the free privacy policy generator is a convenient add-on. ([cyberchimps.com](https://cyberchimps.com/blog/privacy-policy-generators/)) **6. Shopify's built-in policy generator** - if you're a Shopify merchant, start here. It's free, e-commerce-specific, and already wired into your store settings. Good enough for a small shop that isn't collecting much beyond order data. ([getterms.io](https://getterms.io/?p=1576)) One caveat worth more than the tool choice: a generated policy that doesn't match what you actually do with data creates liability rather than removing it. Answer the intake questions honestly about your analytics, ad pixels, email tools, and payment processors - and if you handle health data, kids' data, or sell/share data for targeted ads, spend the money on a lawyer instead of a generator.
