PrivacyPage vs GetTerms: $9.99 Once vs $60/Year or $199 Lifetime
GetTerms is one of the cheaper compliance platforms. PrivacyPage is still an order of magnitude cheaper for documents.
GetTerms deserves credit as one of the more affordable compliance tools — and one of the few that even offers a lifetime option. As of August 2026 (getterms.io/pricing): the Starter plan is $5/month billed annually ($60/year) per site and covers a privacy policy and cookie banner, but notably not Terms & Conditions. The Business plan at $8/month billed annually ($96/year) adds all policies and removes branding. Lifetime licenses cost $199 (Starter) or $249 (Business) per site.
PrivacyPage's whole model is what GetTerms's lifetime tier gestures at, priced for indie developers: $9.99 once for a document, $24.99 once for all five document types, full free preview first, no account. If what you need is the legal documents — not a hosted consent platform — the math is not close.

Where GetTerms is stronger
Bundled cookie consent banner
GetTerms includes a CMP with unlimited banner views and Google Consent Mode v2 on all plans — genuinely good value if you need consent management, since most rivals meter views.
Regulation monitoring
The Business plan watches for law changes and alerts you — useful if you want prompted updates rather than remembering to regenerate.
A real lifetime option
Unlike most subscription-only competitors, GetTerms lets you pay once ($199–$249/site) and be done. We respect that.
Where PrivacyPage wins
8–25x cheaper for documents
GetTerms's cheapest lifetime tier is $199 per site. PrivacyPage's all-documents bundle is $24.99 once — and a single privacy policy is $9.99.
Terms included without upgrading
GetTerms holds Terms & Conditions back for its Business plan. The PrivacyPage bundle includes ToS, EULA, cookie policy, and disclaimer alongside the privacy policy.
No account, instant preview
Preview the complete document before paying anything, with no signup. GetTerms's free tier produces a branded basic policy and requires an account.
Own the file
Export HTML, Markdown, or plain text and commit it to your repo. Nothing hosted, nothing to migrate later.
The honest verdict
Choose GetTerms if you want a hosted compliance platform with a cookie consent banner and update alerts at one of the lower subscription prices in the category — or its lifetime tier if you run one site long-term and want the CMP included.
Choose PrivacyPage if you need the documents themselves for an app you're launching: $9.99–$24.99 once, all document types, no branding, no account, and free regenerations for life.

GetTerms has a lifetime plan too — how is PrivacyPage different?
Scope and price. GetTerms lifetime ($199–$249 per site) buys their hosted platform: policies plus cookie banner and updates. PrivacyPage sells the documents: $9.99 for one or $24.99 for all five, exported as files you own, with free manual regenerations. If you don't need a hosted CMP, you're paying roughly 8x more at GetTerms for the same core documents.
Is the GetTerms free policy enough for an app store submission?
It can satisfy the URL requirement, but the free tier carries GetTerms branding and covers only a basic privacy policy — no terms, limited customization. Store reviewers care most that the policy accurately reflects your data practices, which is where a customized document matters.
Does PrivacyPage include a cookie banner like GetTerms?
No — PrivacyPage generates documents, including a cookie policy, but not a consent banner widget. If your site needs GDPR consent management for advertising cookies, pair the documents with a dedicated CMP.
Which is better for a mobile app?
Mobile apps rarely need a web cookie banner — they need accurate policy documents for App Store and Play Store submission. That is PrivacyPage's home turf: store-ready documents in 60 seconds for $9.99.
