Both cover legal & contracts. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

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.
E-signatures with three free documents a month
SignWell does the one job an independent business needs from an e-signature tool: send a contract, get it signed, keep an audit trail that stands up. Templates and reminders cut the chasing. The free plan allows three documents a month from one sender, which covers an occasional client contract and nothing busier.

Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.

Against Dropbox Sign and Docusign this is the cheaper answer to the same question, and the free tier is the differentiator. Three documents a month covers a freelancer who signs a contract per client rather than per project.
