The answer, as recorded
Here's how I'd rank them, and I'll be honest that the right pick depends mostly on where your users are and whether you need cookie consent bundled in. ## My actual recommendations **1. Termly - the default I'd suggest for most US startups.** Attorney-backed templates, covers ~30 privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, COPPA, etc.), auto-updates when laws change, and a genuinely good cookie consent banner with script auto-blocking and Google CMP / IAB TCF v2.3 compatibility included. ~$10-20/month. The bundled consent management is the real reason to pick it - you'd otherwise be buying that separately. **2. iubenda - if you're EU-based or have meaningful EU traffic.** Built in Italy with GDPR as the core design assumption rather than a bolt-on, strong multi-language support, and its generator builds the policy from the actual services and trackers you use rather than filling in a template. ~$9-27/month. It's the more "correct" document; Termly is the easier onramp. **3. Termageddon - if breadth of jurisdictional coverage matters most.** Single plan at $12/month or $119/year, and it claims 120+ website laws across US, EU, UK, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, and Canada. Fewer generators (5 vs Termly's 10) and a weaker consent tool, so it's the pick when you want maximum legal coverage and you're handling cookie consent elsewhere. **4. GetTerms - the budget pick for pre-revenue.** Guided questionnaire, deliberately simple, popular with solo founders and early-stage SaaS. Good enough coverage without the platform overhead. **5. CookieYes - if you're on WordPress.** Cheapest path to policy + cookie banner in one, and the WordPress integration is the smoothest of the bunch. **6. Shopify's free generator - only as a stopgap.** Widely used, free, works for non-Shopify sites too. Fine for a landing page collecting emails; not something I'd ship with once you're processing real user data. ## One caveat worth stating plainly A generator produces a document that describes a *generic* business. If you're doing anything unusual - training models on user data, sharing data with third parties in non-obvious ways, handling health or kids' data, operating in multiple regions with real volume - the generated policy will quietly misdescribe you, and an inaccurate privacy policy is worse than a thin one because it's an enforceable representation. At that point pay a privacy lawyer for a review pass; keep the generator for the cookie/consent tooling.
