Termly Alternative — Free Privacy Policy Generator (No Subscription)
Termly charges $10–$25 per month for privacy policies. That's $120–$300 per year for a document you write once and update occasionally. There's a better way: PrivacyPage — generate privacy policies, terms of service, and legal docs for a one-time payment of $9.99. No subscription, no recurring fees.
Why Developers Are Switching from Termly to PrivacyPage
Termly is fine, but it's overpriced for most developers and small businesses. Here's the honest comparison:
| Feature | Termly | PrivacyPage |
|---|---|---|
| Privacy Policy | $10/month ($120/year) | $9.99 once |
| Terms of Service | $10/month ($120/year) | $9.99 once |
| EULA | $10/month ($120/year) | $9.99 once |
| Bundle (All 5 Docs) | $25/month ($300/year) | $24.99 once |
| Signup Required | Yes | No |
| Free Preview | No | Yes |
| Lifetime Updates | Only while subscribed | Yes (with license key) |
Bottom line: For a single privacy policy, PrivacyPage saves you $110+ in the first year alone. For a bundle, you save $275+ per year.

Who Should Use PrivacyPage Instead of Termly
Indie Developers
Building side projects and don't want to pay $10/month forever? PrivacyPage is built for you. One-time payment, lifetime access.
Freelancers
If you build apps or websites for clients, stop billing them for Termly subscriptions. Generate docs with PrivacyPage and charge a one-time fee.
Startups
Pre-revenue and watching every dollar? Save $300/year by switching from Termly to PrivacyPage.
Agencies
Managing legal docs for 10+ clients? With Termly, that's $100–$250/month. With PrivacyPage, it's a one-time bundle purchase per client.
App Developers
Launching on the App Store or Play Store? You need a privacy policy and terms of service. PrivacyPage generates both for $24.99 total — Termly charges that per month.
What About Termly's Cookie Scanning?
Termly's main differentiator is automated cookie scanning. Here's the reality:
- Most developers know what cookies they use — Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Stripe, etc. You don't need a scanner to tell you.
- Scanners aren't perfect — They often miss third-party cookies from embedded widgets, A/B testing tools, or chat apps.
- You can scan manually — Open your browser's dev tools (Application → Cookies) and audit your own site for free.
- Cookie consent tools are separate — Even with Termly's scanner, you still need a consent management platform (CMP) like Cookiebot or OneTrust to actually comply with GDPR.
If you're running a complex site with dozens of third-party scripts and need automated scanning, Termly might be worth the subscription. But for most developers, manually listing your cookies is faster and more accurate.
Can I Switch from Termly to PrivacyPage?
Yes, and it's easy:
- Generate your new policy with PrivacyPage — Answer the same questions you answered in Termly
- Copy the generated document — HTML, Markdown, or plain text
- Replace your old policy — Update the link on your site
- Cancel your Termly subscription — Stop paying monthly
You can do this without any downtime or compliance gaps.
