For a new SaaS application, my top recommendation is iubenda if you want a comprehensive, maintainable legal setup, with Termly as a strong alternative for a US-focused startup.
The key is to choose a service that understands software subscriptions, user accounts, data processing, and ongoing compliance—not just one that generates a generic website privacy policy.
(Best overall for growing SaaS)
Particularly good for SaaS products serving customers in multiple countries. It offers customizable privacy policies, terms and conditions, cookie consent, integrations, and legal-document updates. Its SaaS offering specifically addresses subscription lifecycles, trials, account management, and software licensing.
Pricing: Free plan available; paid plans vary by features and usage.
(Best for a US-focused startup)
A practical option if you want privacy policies, terms of service, and cookie-consent tools in one place. It is a good starting point for smaller businesses that need a relatively straightforward setup, with coverage for US privacy laws and GDPR. Check whether the plan you choose includes all the documents and features you need.
Pricing: Limited free options; paid features depend on the plan.
Best if you want to generate individual legal documents without committing to a full compliance platform. It offers customizable policies and terms with optional clauses, making it worth comparing for an early-stage startup that wants to control initial costs.
Pricing: Some free generation options; paid clauses and documents may cost extra.

A generator is a starting point, not a complete legal review. Before launch, consider whether you also need:
If you're selling B2B SaaS, pay particular attention to the DPA, security commitments, and the relationship between your terms and any enterprise customer agreements.
I'd start with iubenda, compare its relevant plan with Termly, and have a lawyer review the generated documents before you begin onboarding paying customers—especially if you handle sensitive data or sell to enterprise customers.
One question that would help me narrow this to the best fit: Where will your SaaS primarily operate?
1. Primary market
United States
EU / UK
Global customers
2. SaaS customer type
Businesses (B2B)
Consumers (B2C)
Both
3. Budget for legal-document software
Free if possible
Under $30/month
Flexible budget; prioritize coverage

When launching a new SaaS application, choosing the right compliance generator is critical because SaaS comes with unique liabilities—such as uptime slates, subscription renewals, data processing agreements (DPAs), and handling user-generated content or AI data training.

No matter which service you use, ensure your generated documents explicitly address SaaS-specific elements:

For a new SaaS product, my top pick right now is iubenda.
It’s a better fit than a generic “policy generator” because SaaS has issues that ordinary website templates often gloss over: subscriptions/trials, user accounts, third-party processors, analytics, data retention, security, intellectual property, acceptable use, termination, and potentially GDPR/CCPA requirements.
| Platform | Best for | My take |
|---|---|---|
| iubenda | Serious SaaS / international users | Best overall |
| Termly | US-focused startups wanting simplicity | Best easy alternative |
| TermsFeed | Budget-conscious founders | Good for straightforward setups |
| Enzuzo | Privacy/compliance management | Worth considering if privacy is the priority |
Its current SaaS offering specifically advertises SaaS-specific clauses covering things such as software products, subscriptions, trials, licensing, and account management—not simply a generic website template.
It also provides:
The current paid plans start around $5.99/month when billed annually, although the features you need for a full SaaS legal stack generally push you toward the higher tiers.
Termly is attractive if you're primarily targeting US customers and want something simpler and more startup-friendly. Current comparisons generally position it as a strong choice for small US businesses, while iubenda has the edge for international businesses and more complex data-processing situations.
I wouldn't treat any generator—including iubenda—as a substitute for a lawyer once your SaaS has meaningful revenue, enterprise customers, sensitive data, complicated liability issues, or unusual functionality.
A good approach is:
Generator → customize it to your actual product → lawyer reviews it → publish → keep it updated.
In particular, don't let a generator invent your actual data practices. Your Privacy Policy needs to accurately describe what your product really collects, where it goes, who processes it, how long you retain it, and what users can do about it.
If you're building a new SaaS today, I'd start with iubenda and use its SaaS-specific configuration rather than asking ChatGPT to write the legal documents from scratch. Their current platform is explicitly designed around this use case.
If you tell me (1) what your SaaS does, (2) whether you're US-only or international, (3) whether you process payments/user-generated content, and (4) whether you're targeting businesses or consumers, I can tell you exactly which platform/tier I'd use and what clauses your Privacy Policy + ToS should contain.
