iubenda vs Termly Comparison 2026
iubenda generates a privacy policy, terms and cookie banner that stay updated as rules change, priced per site from $5 a month when billed yearly, with a free plan that produces a basic policy. Termly does the same core job, a policy plus a matching consent banner from the same source, from $10 a site a month billed annually, twice iubenda's entry rate, with weekly rather than monthly scanning on its higher tier. Both charge per site rather than per account, so a portfolio of domains multiplies either bill fast.
At a glance
- iubenda starts cheaper, at $5.
- Both have a genuinely free tier.

iubenda
Privacy policies and a cookie banner, per site
iubenda generates the privacy policy, terms and cookie banner a site needs to be lawful in the places that ask, and keeps them updated as the rules move. It is priced per site per month, which suits somebody with one blog and stings somebody with six. The free plan produces a policy; the paid ones produce one that stays current and a consent banner that records what was agreed.
Our note
Per-site pricing is the thing to check against your own situation, because the headline $5 is for one domain. Against TermsFeed the split is maintenance: this keeps documents current for a recurring fee, that sells them once and leaves them where they are.

Termly
Privacy policies and a consent banner
Termly generates the policies a site is legally expected to carry, then keeps scanning for cookies and updating the text as rules change. The consent banner and the policy come from the same place, so the two agree with each other. It is a compliance floor rather than legal advice, and a business with real exposure still needs a lawyer.
Why people weigh these two
- Termly instead of iubenda
- Termly does the same pairing of privacy policy and consent banner with a free tier, priced from $10 a month against iubenda's $5 per site.
- iubenda instead of Termly
- iubenda prices per site instead of one flat plan, from $5, for anybody covering just a single small site rather than a whole portfolio.
Which one should you pick
Pick iubenda for the lower entry price per site, at $5 a month billed yearly, with an API for embedding consent handling into something custom that Termly's listing does not describe.
Pick Termly when the free plan needs to stretch further before paying, since it states specific limits, two policies, ten edits, 50,000 banner views, rather than a bare policy generator. Starter is $10 a site a month billed annually, twice iubenda's cheapest paid tier, and Pro+ at $15 adds unlimited edits, weekly scans and removes the Termly logo. Either way, multiply by the number of sites before comparing the headline price, since both bill per domain.
Common questions
- Which one is cheaper per site?
- iubenda, at its entry tier: $5 a month billed yearly against Termly's Starter at $10, exactly twice the price for a comparable per-site plan. Both climb from there on higher tiers with more scanning and traffic allowance.
- How often do these tools rescan a site for new cookies?
- iubenda's paid tiers add monthly site scans as you move up. Termly rescans monthly on Starter and weekly on Pro+, more frequent than iubenda's stated cadence at a comparable tier.
- Do both charge per website?
- Yes, which is the detail that matters most for anyone running several sites. A handful of domains multiplies either iubenda's or Termly's bill quickly, so price the total portfolio rather than the single-site headline rate.
- Is either of these a substitute for a lawyer?
- No. Both generate a compliance floor from a questionnaire, keep it updated and run a consent banner, but Termly's own listing is explicit that a business with real regulatory exposure still needs a lawyer, and iubenda makes no different claim.
