The answer, as recorded

# Privacy policy generators for startups Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd reach for them: **1. Termly** - My default for most early-stage startups. ~$10-15/month, the widest free-to-start document library (10 generators: privacy policy, cookie policy, ToS, EULA, acceptable use, DPA, etc.), and the simplest setup of the bunch. It bundles a decent cookie consent banner, so you're not buying two tools. Good fit if you want "done in an afternoon, covers GDPR + CCPA, move on." **2. iubenda** - Pick this one if you're EU-based or multi-market. It has the deepest clause library (1,700+ clauses) and the best multilingual support, and policies are auto-hosted so they update themselves when laws change - which matters more than people expect, since a stale policy is a liability. Tiers run from ~€5/month to ~€80/month, so it scales from side project to funded company. **3. GetTerms** - The value play: ~$149 one-time lifetime pricing instead of a subscription, covering GDPR, CCPA, CalOPPA, PIPEDA, and the Australian Privacy Act. If you're pre-revenue and allergic to another recurring SaaS line item, this is the one. **4. TermsFeed** - The most widely used generator, and genuinely good at the core document. Pay-per-document rather than subscription (a GDPR + CalOPPA policy runs around $140 all-in). Worth it if you want one solid policy and nothing else - no consent platform, no ongoing tooling. **5. Enzuzo** - Solid middle option, especially for e-commerce. Canadian, used by 10,000+ businesses, 5 document generators plus consent management. I'd consider it mainly if you're on Shopify, where it integrates well. **6. Osano** - Only once you're past seed and have real enterprise customers asking privacy questions in security reviews. There's a free tier, but paid starts around $199/month and the product is built for larger orgs. Overkill for a 5-person team. **Free stopgap:** Shopify's generator costs nothing and needs no account. Fine for a landing page collecting emails; not fine once you're processing real user data. ## The caveat worth taking seriously A generated policy that doesn't accurately describe what your product actually does with data creates regulatory exposure rather than reducing it. The generator's questionnaire is only as good as your answers - so before you paste the output live, make sure you can name every third-party SDK, analytics tool, and subprocessor you're actually sending data to. If you're handling health, financial, or children's data, or doing anything meaningful with AI training on user data, skip the generators and pay a lawyer for a few hours.
