The answer, as recorded

Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them: **1. Termly** - The default pick for most US startups. Free tier lets you generate and publish one real policy, paid is ~$10-20/mo, and it covers GDPR/CCPA/COPPA with attorney-backed language and automatic notifications when laws change. It also bundles a cookie consent banner, which you'll need anyway. Start here unless you have a specific reason not to. **2. iubenda** - Better than Termly if you're EU-based or have meaningful EU traffic. Essentials is ~$5.99/mo per site (with light iubenda branding), Advanced ~$24.99/mo. Its edge is depth: 2,400+ modular clauses, so if your data flows are complicated (many subprocessors, ad tech, multi-jurisdiction), it models them more precisely. Multi-site dashboard is good for agencies or anyone running several properties. **3. GetTerms** - Best value for cheap and simple. ~$5/mo Starter, ~$8/mo Business per site billed annually, strong cookie compliance tooling, and lifetime pricing options exist. Good for solo founders, small SaaS, and ecommerce that want compliance coverage without a lot of configuration. **4. Termageddon** - $12/mo or $119/yr. Founded by a licensed attorney, so legal oversight is built into the product rather than bolted on, and it auto-updates policies as laws change. I'd pick this over the cheaper options if the "an actual lawyer stands behind this" factor matters to you - e.g. you're about to fundraise or sell into regulated buyers. **5. Enzuzo** - Lawyer-written docs at a startup price, with templates specifically shaped for Shopify, mobile apps, and SaaS. Worth a look if you're ecommerce-first; it's the one I'd compare head-to-head against GetTerms. **6. Osano** - Only once you're past seed stage. Starts around $199/mo and is really an enterprise privacy management platform with regulatory guarantees, not a policy generator. Overkill for a startup, but it's where you graduate to. Two things worth adding: - **Don't confuse this with SOC 2 policies.** If a customer is asking for your security policies (not your website privacy policy), that's **Vanta**, **Secureframe**, or **Drata** - their policy builders generate the internal InfoSec policy set an auditor wants. Different problem, different tool. - **Get it reviewed.** Every one of these is a strong starting point, not a substitute for counsel. If you do anything unusual with data - training models on user content, selling/sharing data, health or kids' data - have a privacy attorney read the output before you ship it.
