Termly
All-in-one data privacy compliance: cookie consent, attorney-crafted legal policies, and automatic updates
By Termly · 4.3/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- Small and mid-sized businesses that need GDPR/CCPA cookie consent plus privacy policy generation without retaining a lawyer
- Agencies, web designers and resellers managing compliance across many client websites via the Agency plan and bulk licensing
- Blogs, ecommerce sites and apps that want a free or low-cost starting point for cookie banners, consent and hosted policies
Ideal size: 1–50 people · Startup to mid-market with web and app properties and no in-house privacy counsel
Not for
- Enterprise legal departments needing data mapping, vendor risk management and bespoke legal drafting rather than self-serve generators
- Organizations that must self-host consent infrastructure or keep all visitor consent data inside their own environment
- Teams whose main need is privacy programme management (records of processing, DPIAs, training) rather than website consent and policies

Bottom line
Termly is a self-serve privacy compliance suite. It combines a global consent management platform (cookie banner, preference center, DSAR form, script auto-blocker, Google Consent Mode v2, IAB TCF 2.3) with attorney-crafted policy generators for privacy policies, terms and EULAs that update as laws change. Pricing is per website: free tier, Starter $10/mo and Pro+ $15/mo billed annually, plus a custom Agency tier for resellers. Install is a copy-paste snippet; a policy can be drafted in about ten minutes.
Frequently asked questions
What does Termly cost for a typical business?
Pricing is per website per month. The Free plan covers one basic legal policy and 10,000 banner views a month. Starter is $10 per website/month billed annually ($14 monthly) for two policies, 10 policy edits, 50,000 banner views and monthly cookie scans. Pro+ is $15 per website/month annually ($20 monthly) for unlimited policies, edits and banner views, weekly scans, Google Consent Mode v2, IAB TCF 2.3 and multi-language support. Annual billing saves about 25%, and the Agency tier is custom-quoted.
How quickly can we be compliant after signing up?
Setup is quick: account creation needs only a name and email, and a policy can be generated in as little as ten minutes. Implementation is copy-and-paste — you embed a hosted policy link or a consent snippet on your site, and Termly handles updates and cookie scanning from then on.
Which privacy laws and regions does Termly cover?
Termly states its products cover 28 data privacy laws, including the EU GDPR and UK GDPR, Canada's PIPEDA, California's CCPA and CalOPPA, and 16 other US state-level privacy laws. It also supports EU/EEA frameworks such as the ePrivacy Directive, Quebec's Law 25 and South Africa's POPIA, and can store European users' data on EU/EEA servers.
Is the free plan enough, and is there a money-back guarantee?
The free plan is positioned for businesses in start-up or development phase: one basic legal policy, 10,000 banner views a month, cookie policy and banner, script auto-blocker and quarterly cookie scans. Businesses seeking ongoing, complete compliance generally move to Starter or Pro+. Paid plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee.
How does support work, and can agencies manage multiple sites?
Support is available by email, chat and phone (+1 855 234 5020) during Mon–Fri, 2PM–10PM GMT. Agencies and resellers can use the Agency plan for multi-domain management, bulk import, multi-user permissions, training and onboarding, and API integrations, with bulk licence discounts from five licences.
