Termly Alternative — Free Privacy Policy Generator (No Subscription)

·7 min read

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.

What You Get with PrivacyPage

Same Features, Better Price

PrivacyPage generates the same professional legal documents as Termly, with all the compliance sections you need:

  • Privacy Policy — GDPR, CCPA, CalOPPA, COPPA compliant
  • Terms of Service — User agreements, liability disclaimers, dispute resolution
  • EULA — End User License Agreements for software and apps
  • Cookie Policy — Cookie disclosures and consent requirements

  • Pay once, own forever
  • Your license key lets you regenerate updated policies anytime
  • No renewal fees, no recurring charges
  • Cancel-proof — you already own it

  • Generate a full preview for free
  • See exactly what you're getting
  • Only pay if you want the unblurred, downloadable version

  4. Generate & preview for free — See the full structure and content
  5. Unlock the full document — One-time payment of $9.99 (or $24.99 for all 5 documents)
  6. Copy in HTML, Markdown, or text — Host it anywhere

Total time: 60 seconds.

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:

  1. Generate your new policy with PrivacyPage — Answer the same questions you answered in Termly
  2. Copy the generated document — HTML, Markdown, or plain text
  3. Replace your old policy — Update the link on your site
  4. Cancel your Termly subscription — Stop paying monthly

You can do this without any downtime or compliance gaps.
