The answer, as recorded

Here's what I'd actually point a startup to, roughly in the order I'd try them: **1. Termly** - my default recommendation for a US startup. Attorney-drafted templates, a genuinely usable free tier, ~$10-20/mo for paid, and it auto-updates the policy when laws change (which matters - US state privacy laws keep landing). Bundles cookie consent + ToS + DSAR handling, so you're not stitching three vendors together. Simplest setup of the bunch. **2. iubenda** - the one I'd pick instead if you have meaningful EU traffic or are EU-based. ~€5-27/mo. Its edge is clause-level granularity (2,400+ clauses) and real multilingual output, so if your data flows are unusual (multiple processors, ad tech, embedded SDKs) you can actually describe them accurately rather than picking from four checkboxes. Multi-site dashboard is nice if you run several properties. **3. GetTerms** - the cheap, no-friction option. Good fit for pre-launch or solo-founder stage: policy + cookie policy + consent banner in one dashboard, minimal configuration. Covers GDPR but not every US state statute, so treat it as a starting point you'll outgrow. **4. TermsFeed / PrivacyPolicies** (same family) - best when you want a **one-time purchase** rather than a subscription. Caveat that decides it: the document is a snapshot and does *not* update as laws change, and it's English-only. Fine for a landing page, not for a product handling real user data over years. **5. Enzuzo** - worth a look if DSAR intake (deletion/access requests) is your actual pain point, plus ~25 languages. Its free tier is heavily paywalled - if you use Google Analytics or any cookies, the free policy comes out missing the clauses you specifically needed, so budget for paid or skip it. **6. Termageddon** - smaller, but built specifically around the "policies update automatically as new state laws pass" promise. Reasonable alternative to Termly if you want that as the core feature. **7. Osano** - only once you're enterprise-ish or selling into regulated buyers. Starts around $199/mo with custom quotes above that, and offers regulatory guarantees/consent management at a scale most seed-stage startups don't need yet. Overkill early. Two practical notes: - **Generator first, lawyer second.** For a normal SaaS the generator output is fine. Pay a privacy lawyer to *review* (not draft) if you handle health/financial data, biometrics, anything from users under 13 (COPPA), or you're doing AI training on customer data - that last one is where generated boilerplate most often says something untrue about your business, which is worse than no policy. - Most of the "best privacy policy generator 2026" listicles ranking these are published by the vendors themselves (iubenda, TermsFeed, and Enzuzo all rank competitors on their own blogs), so the rankings in my sources are not neutral - I've weighted toward the concrete pricing and feature facts rather than their verdicts.
