The answer, as recorded

Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them: **1. Termly** - My default suggestion for most startups. Free tier to start, then ~$10-15/mo, and it has by far the widest document library (10 generators: privacy policy, cookie policy, ToS, EULA, acceptable use, refund policy, disclaimer, impressum). Simplest setup of the bunch, and the bundled consent manager means you're not buying a second tool for your cookie banner. If you want one thing that covers all your legal pages cheaply, start here. ([pricing/comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/termly-io/pricing), [generator](https://termly.io/en/products/privacy-policy-generator/)) **2. iubenda** - Pick this if you're operating across multiple jurisdictions or languages, or if your data flows are genuinely complicated. It's clause-level rather than template-level (~1,700-2,400 clauses), auto-hosts the policy, and auto-updates when laws change. Strongest multilingual support of the mainstream options. Starts around $3.49/mo but the features you'll actually want (multiple sites, full customization) are gated into the $25+ tiers. ([iubenda](https://www.iubenda.com/en/blog/best-privacy-policy-generators/), [vs Termly](https://consently.net/blog/iubenda-vs-termly)) **3. Termageddon** - The one I'd name if you care most about legal credibility. It's the only generator founded by a practicing privacy attorney, and was the first policy tool the IAPP endorsed. Automatic updates when privacy laws change are the core value prop, and it's $12/mo or $119/yr. Slightly less polished product, more defensible document. ([Termageddon](https://termageddon.com/about-us/), [review](https://www.jpkdesignco.com/blog/termageddon-review)) **4. GetTerms** - Best value if you hate subscriptions. Lawyer-written policies, a genuinely usable free tier, and a one-time lifetime license (~$149-199 depending on scope) vs. ~$69/yr. Covers GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, and the Australian Privacy Act. Narrower than Termly, but good enough for a straightforward SaaS or marketing site. ([GetTerms](https://getterms.io/privacy-policy-generator)) **5. CookieYes** - Worth a look if consent management is your real problem and the privacy policy is secondary. Multi-jurisdiction support, auto-updates, and a strong cookie banner. ([overview](https://cyberchimps.com/blog/privacy-policy-generators/)) **Skip for now: Osano.** Good platform, but at $199/mo and up it's priced for companies with a compliance function, not a seed-stage startup. Revisit it when you're doing enterprise deals or DSAR volume. ([Termly vs Osano](https://termly.io/resources/compare/termly-vs-osano/)) One caveat worth stating plainly: all of these generate a document from a questionnaire, so the output is only as accurate as your answers about what data you collect and which subprocessors you use. They're fine for pre-revenue and early-stage. Once you're selling to enterprises, handling health or financial data, or doing anything meaningful with AI training data, get a real privacy lawyer to review it - the generator output becomes your starting draft, not your final policy.
