The answer, as recorded
## Short answer **Termly** if you want one tool and don't want to think about it; **iubenda** if you're cost-sensitive or EU-facing; **TermsFeed** if you want to pay once and own the document. ## The ones I'd actually name, in order **1. Termly** - my default for most startups. Lawyer-drafted templates covering GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD and ~25 other laws, plus the stuff you'll actually need next: cookie consent banner with auto-blocker, DSAR intake form, and consent logs. The embed auto-updates when laws change, which is the real value - policy rot is the thing that bites startups 18 months in. Free tier gives you one real policy and a working banner with no time limit; paid is ~$10-15/mo. ([termly.io](https://termly.io/products/privacy-policy-generator/)) **2. iubenda** - the better buy if you're watching burn or you're EU-based. Cheaper than Termly at the low end (~$3.50-6/mo tiers vs $10), broader feature set under one subscription, and it's an Italian company so its GDPR/ePrivacy handling is genuinely native rather than bolted on. Slightly clunkier UX and the à-la-carte pricing model means costs creep as you add sites and features. ([consently.net comparison](https://consently.net/blog/iubenda-vs-termly), [enzuzo.com](https://www.enzuzo.com/blog/termly-vs-iubenda)) **3. TermsFeed** - pick this if subscriptions annoy you. One-time ~$188 for a full privacy policy with all provisions, exportable to HTML, DOCX, Markdown, plain text, and you can generate without creating an account. Tradeoff: it's a static document, so *you* own the job of updating it when the law moves. Cookie consent is a separate subscription. ([termsfeed.com](https://www.termsfeed.com/blog/getterms-io-review/)) **4. GetTerms** - explicitly positioned at startups and small teams, and the only one here with a credible lifetime license ($199-249 per site) alongside cheap monthly plans ($5-8/mo annual). Covers GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, Australian Privacy Act, with translations. Good fit if you have one product and want compliance off the recurring-cost sheet permanently. ([getterms.io](https://getterms.io/compare), [cybernews review](https://cybernews.com/privacy-compliance-tools/getterms-review-currentyear-the-no-nonsense-website-compliance-platform-built-for-startups/)) **5. CookieYes** - worth naming because consent banners are usually the more urgent compliance gap than the policy itself. Free tier is fine for a low-traffic marketing site, and the policy generator is a reasonable throw-in. Not where I'd go for the policy alone. ([cyberchimps.com](https://cyberchimps.com/blog/privacy-policy-generators/)) **6. Osano** - only once you're selling to enterprise and getting security questionnaires. First paid tier is $199/mo for 30k visitors, capped at 2 users and 3 domains, and it's really a privacy *management* platform with regulatory guarantees, not a generator. Overkill pre-Series A. ([privacycomply.io](https://privacycomply.io/iubenda-vs-termly-vs-osano.html)) ## Two things worth knowing **Skip the free generators from Shopify/HubSpot-style marketing pages** if you handle anything beyond basic analytics. They produce generic text that doesn't reflect your actual data flows, which is the part regulators and enterprise buyers care about. **A generator is not a substitute for counsel if you touch health data, kids' data, or financial data**, or if you're doing anything novel with AI training on user data. Any generator's output is a template; if your data practices are unusual, the template will quietly misdescribe them, and an inaccurate policy is worse than a sparse one. For the 90% of startups running a normal SaaS or ecommerce stack, Termly or iubenda is genuinely the right call. Also: a search I ran turned up several sites (PolicyForge, ClearPolicy, PrivacyPolicyGen, FreeTOS, PrivacyChecker) that rank for these comparison queries and happen to rank themselves at the top. I left them off deliberately - I can't vouch for who's behind them or whether a lawyer reviewed the templates, which is the only thing you're really buying here.
