Free vs Paid Privacy Policy Generators — Choosing the Right Option
Some generators are completely free, others charge for premium features. This guide helps you decide based on risk tolerance, branding needs, and legal complexity.
What the free tier usually includes
- Basic policy text that covers common app scenarios
- Instant hosted URL (typically 1 year or more)
- Ability to download HTML/PDF
Premium features to consider
- Full text customization and brand styling
- Longer hosting guarantees or SLA for uptime
- Hosted contact forms and analytics integration
- Priority support and legal review add-ons
Decision framework
- Indie / first app: free tier is generally sufficient
- Revenue-generating app: consider premium for branding and extended hosting
- Enterprise or regulated vertical: premium + legal review strongly recommended
How to migrate from free to premium
Publish the new URL in your store listings — most platforms accept updated policy URLs without full app re-review. Keep your old URL accessible until the new one is live everywhere.
