Running the business
iubenda charges a recurring fee per site, from $5 a month billed yearly, and keeps the policy and cookie banner updated as rules change without further action. TermsFeed instead sells each clause once: $82 covers GDPR, CCPA, CPRA and CalOPPA together, with individual provisions from $10 to $34, and nothing renews or updates itself afterward. iubenda is a subscription that maintains the document; TermsFeed is a purchase that freezes it exactly as bought.

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.
Policies bought a clause at a time
TermsFeed builds a privacy policy, terms, a disclaimer or a cookie notice from a questionnaire, and prices each clause separately, so a page that only runs analytics and an affiliate link pays for those two and nothing else. Nothing renews. That makes it the cheapest honest option for a one-off site, and a poor fit for anybody who wants the document maintained for them.
Pick iubenda when the document needs to stay current on its own, since the recurring fee, from $5 a month billed yearly, is specifically paying for updates as the law moves and monthly cookie scans on the higher tiers.
Pick TermsFeed for a site that will not change much and does not want an ongoing bill. A free policy is offered with free hosting, and provisions are bought individually from $10. Four or five of the pricier provisions together cost more than a year of iubenda, so add up exactly what a site needs before assuming the one-time model is the cheaper one.

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.
Our note
Add up the provisions you need before comparing this to a subscription, because four or five of them costs more than a year of iubenda. Its advantage is that a document you buy once does not stop working when you stop paying.
