GetTerms - pick this if you hate subscriptions.
- Privacy mentioned
~$149 lifetime covers GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, and the Australian Privacy Act.
- Enzuzo mentioned
Enzuzo - worth naming because it scores highest of the mid-market tools specifically on privacy policy generation (9.7 on G2), and like iubenda it hosts live policies rather than handing you a static file.
- Shopify mentioned
Strong Shopify/e-commerce story.

CookieYes - if your real need is a compliant cookie banner and the privacy policy is secondary.

Skip for now: Osano ($199/mo minimum) and OneTrust.

The answer, as recorded
## What I'd actually recommend **1. Termly** - my default pick for most startups. The questionnaire is the best-designed of the bunch, the generated policy reads like something a human wrote, and it bundles a cookie banner + auto-blocker + consent management, so you're not stitching two vendors together. Free tier gets you one policy generator plus the cookie banner; paid is $10/mo (Starter) to $15/mo (Pro+). Good fit if you want one tool to cover privacy policy, ToS, and cookie consent. **2. iubenda** - the best value and the most granular. 1,700+ clauses means you can describe an unusual data flow accurately instead of accepting a generic template, and policies are hosted and auto-updated as laws change. Starter is ~$3.49-4.99/mo, Essentials ~$5.99. This is what I'd use for an EU-facing product or anything where GDPR is the main concern rather than US state laws. **3. Termageddon** - the one I'd name if US state privacy law is your exposure. It's cofounded by the chair of the ABA's ePrivacy Committee and has been an IAPP-recognized tech vendor since 2019, and its whole value proposition is pushing updates to your embedded policy as new state laws come online (the US now has a dozen-plus, each with its own disclosure quirks). Embed-code based, so you update once and it propagates. **4. GetTerms** - pick this if you hate subscriptions. ~$149 lifetime covers GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, and the Australian Privacy Act. Simple, no-fuss, genuinely good for a small marketing site or pre-launch landing page. Weaker if your data practices are complex. **5. Enzuzo** - worth naming because it scores highest of the mid-market tools specifically on privacy policy generation (9.7 on G2), and like iubenda it hosts live policies rather than handing you a static file. Starts around $7/mo. Strong Shopify/e-commerce story. **6. CookieYes** - if your real need is a compliant cookie banner and the privacy policy is secondary. Most generous free tier, far more reviews than Enzuzo, consistently praised support. Free to start. **Skip for now:** Osano ($199/mo minimum) and OneTrust. Both are genuinely good, but they're DSAR-handling, data-mapping, governance platforms. At seed stage they're overkill and the complexity costs you more than the compliance gains. **Free option:** Shopify's generator requires no account and costs nothing. It's a template, not a living policy - fine as a placeholder, not as your answer. ## Two caveats worth your time A generator produces a policy that matches what *you told it* you do. The failure mode isn't a bad template, it's an inaccurate questionnaire answer - and under CCPA/GDPR, a policy that misdescribes your actual data flows is worse than a vague one, because it's now a documented misrepresentation. Have whoever actually knows your data pipeline fill it out, not whoever owns the website. And if you're handling health, financial, or children's data, or heading into a Series A where diligence will read your policy closely, use a generator for the first draft and pay a privacy attorney for a few hours of review. $500-2,000 there is cheap relative to an enforcement action or a diligence delay.
