Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Policies and a cookie banner for five dollars
GetTerms generates a privacy policy, a cookie policy and the consent banner that has to sit in front of them, priced per website rather than per company. The cheaper plan covers fifty thousand banner views a month and the dearer one removes the cap. Policy edits, regulation monitoring and multiple languages separate the two. This produces a document rather than legal advice, and a business with real exposure should still pay a lawyer to read it.
Our note
Count your monthly page views before taking Starter, because 50,000 banner views is the limit that matters and a site with any traffic passes it quickly. The three-dollar step to Business also buys the regulation monitoring, which is the part that keeps the document from quietly going stale.
Legal documents and a lawyer on a membership
Rocket Lawyer is a membership rather than a document shop: the subscription covers unlimited documents, e-signatures and a set amount of time with an actual attorney, which is the part a template site cannot match. For a creator forming a company or reading a sponsorship contract, half an hour of advice is often the whole need. Business formation and registered agent services are priced separately on top.

Our note
The membership is worth it in the year you incorporate or sign something serious, and hard to justify in the years you do not. Use the seven days to get one real question answered, which is a fair test of whether the advice is any good.
