TermsFeed Pricing 2026: What Your Store Actually Pays

TermsFeed prices unlike almost anything else in the compliance category, and that difference is the entire reason to consider it.

Most legal document tools rent you your policies. Stop paying and the policy stops updating, and in some cases stops being hosted at all. TermsFeed sells the documents outright as a one-time purchase, priced by the individual provisions you need, then sells its cookie consent tool separately as a subscription.

That split matters, because it means your bill has two very different halves and only one of them recurs.

How the Document Pricing Works

You build a document by selecting the provisions that apply to your business, and you pay for those provisions individually. A store that runs analytics, email marketing, and card payments pays for those three clauses. A store that does none of those does not.

Here is the range as published.

Document	Provision price range
Privacy Policy	$14 to $82 per provision
Terms and Conditions	$14 to $24 per module
Cookies Policy	$14
Disclaimer	$14 per provision
EULA	$14 to $30 per provision
Return and Refund Policy	$10 to $24 per provision

The GDPR and CCPA provision on the privacy policy is the expensive one at $82, and it is also the one most stores selling internationally will need. The cheaper clauses cover things like analytics at $24 and email marketing or payments at $14 each.

There is also a genuinely free tier. It produces documents with basic provisions across every document type, and the condition is a credit link back to TermsFeed. That is a real option for a store that has not launched yet, and I will come back to why you might still not want it.

Buy your policies once, not every month

Pay per provision for exactly what your store does, with a free tier to see the documents before you spend anything.

The Consent Banner Is a Separate Subscription

The other half of TermsFeed’s offering is Privacy Consent, its cookie banner product, and this one does recur.

It is $10 a month, or $100 a year which the pricing page frames as two months free. Both tiers include unlimited pages, geolocation detection, consent logs, and automatic updates.

So the honest total for a store that wants documents and a compliant cookie banner is a one-off document spend plus $100 a year indefinitely. The documents are bought. The banner is rented. Anyone describing TermsFeed as purely one-time pricing has only looked at half the product.

Two practical notes from the pricing page worth knowing before you buy. There is no free trial on the subscription products, though a seven-day refund window applies to both purchase models. And PayPal is not supported for the subscription-based products, so you will need a card for the consent tool.

What a Real Store Actually Pays

Ranges are hard to budget against, so here is what the arithmetic looks like for three realistic setups. These are illustrative totals built from the published provision prices rather than quotes, so treat them as a method rather than a price list.

A pre-launch store with nothing running yet. The free tier with the credit link costs nothing and produces usable documents. That is genuinely the right answer while you have no traffic and no revenue.

A single US store selling domestically, running analytics and email. A privacy policy with the analytics and email marketing provisions, plus terms and a return policy, lands in the low-to-mid double digits as a one-time purchase. Add the consent banner at $100 a year if you want one.

A store selling into the EU and UK. Now the $82 GDPR and CCPA provision applies, and it is the single largest line on your bill. Add analytics, email, payments, terms, cookies and a return policy and you are into the low hundreds one-time, plus $100 a year for consent. Cheaper over three years than the mid-priced hosted platforms, though not cheaper than the least expensive WordPress-native options, and not the trivial number the entry prices suggest.

The pattern is clear. TermsFeed is inexpensive if your store is simple and gets meaningfully more expensive as your compliance surface grows, which is defensible because that is also when you actually need the coverage.

Why the Free Tier Might Not Suit a High-Ticket Store

The free documents are real and functional, and the tradeoff is a visible credit link back to TermsFeed on your policy pages.

On most sites nobody cares. On a store asking someone to wire five figures for industrial equipment, a footer credit advertising that your legal documents came from a free generator is a small trust leak at exactly the wrong moment. Buyers spending that kind of money do look at your policy pages, and the impression they form there feeds into whether they believe you are a real business.

That is not a reason to pay hundreds you do not have. It is a reason to treat the paid documents as a cost of looking legitimate once you are actually selling, rather than as an optional upgrade.

Price only the provisions your store needs

Build the document, see the total before you commit, and pay once rather than every month for the life of the store.

The Ownership Question

This is the real argument for TermsFeed and it is worth stating properly.

With a subscription compliance tool, your policies are a service. Cancel and you may lose hosted policy pages, automatic updates as laws change, or both. Your legal documents become something you rent, and the rent never stops.

With a one-time purchase, the document is yours. Nobody switches it off. The tradeoff is that it also stops updating, and privacy law does not stop changing.

So the practical position is that buying documents outright is the better deal if you accept responsibility for reviewing them periodically, and the worse deal if you buy once and never look at them again for five years. A privacy policy that was accurate in 2026 and describes practices you no longer follow is arguably worse than no policy, because it is a written statement about your business that is not true.

Put a calendar reminder to review your policies annually, and whenever you add a new tool that touches customer data. That habit is what makes one-time pricing genuinely cheaper rather than just cheaper-looking.

What This Does Not Buy You

Three things worth being clear about.

It is not legal advice. A generator produces a document from the answers you give it. It does not know your business, and I am not a lawyer either. If you handle health data, sell to children, operate in a regulated category, or have any structural complexity, pay a solicitor. For a straightforward store selling physical products, a generator is a reasonable starting point that most operators use.

It does not make you compliant. Publishing a privacy policy that says you honour deletion requests does not honour deletion requests. The document describes what you do, and you still have to do it. The European Commission’s data protection framework sets out the obligations themselves, which sit with you rather than with any tool.

It does not cover your consent implementation. A cookie banner that loads analytics before consent is given is not doing its job regardless of what your cookies policy says. Google documents the technical expectations around consent signalling in its Consent Mode documentation, and getting that wiring right is separate from buying a banner.

The Update Problem With Buying Once

This is the honest weakness of the model and it deserves more than a footnote, because it is where one-time pricing quietly stops being a bargain.

Privacy law moves. New state privacy statutes arrive, existing ones get amended, enforcement priorities shift, and the disclosures considered adequate in one year look thin two years later. A subscription platform pushes those changes to your pages without you noticing. A purchased document does not change until you change it.

That is fine if you treat your policies as living documents. It is a genuine liability if you buy them, paste them in, and forget. An outdated policy is not a neutral document sitting there harmlessly. It is a public statement about how your business handles data, and if it describes practices you have since abandoned, you have published something inaccurate about yourself.

The failure mode is not usually legal drama. It is smaller and more common: you add a chat widget, a heatmap tool, and a new ad pixel over eighteen months, and your privacy policy still lists the three tools you had at launch. Nobody notices until someone asks, and by then you are explaining a gap rather than pointing at a page.

Two habits fix this and both are cheap. Put an annual review in your calendar and actually do it. And add a step to your own process: whenever you install anything that touches customer data, check whether your policy needs a line about it. That second habit is the one that matters, because tools get added far more often than years pass.

How It Compares

The main alternative most stores weigh is a subscription platform that bundles documents and consent together for a flat monthly fee.

The arithmetic depends heavily on which competitor you pick, so be careful with generalisations. A hosted platform in the $14 to $20 a month range, which is roughly where Termly sits, runs $504 to $720 over three years for one site. A TermsFeed document purchase plus three years of the $100 consent subscription usually lands below that for a straightforward store.

But it does not beat everything. WPLP Compliance Platform at $48 a year for three sites is $144 over three years, which is less than TermsFeed’s consent subscription alone before you have bought a single document. So the honest position is that buying documents outright beats the mid-priced hosted platforms and loses to the cheapest WordPress-native one. I worked that through properly in TermsFeed against WPLP.

Where subscriptions can win is maintenance, though check what you are actually getting rather than assuming. A platform that genuinely updates your documents as law changes has real value if you will never revisit this yourself. Some advertise that and some list it as forthcoming, so confirm before you buy on that basis. Buying outright rewards diligence and punishes neglect.

I compared the two models directly in Termly against TermsFeed, which goes deeper on exactly this question.

Which Documents a Store Actually Needs

Before pricing anything, work out which documents apply to you, because paying for provisions you do not need is the most common way people overspend here.

Privacy policy. Expected in most markets once you collect any personal data, which includes an email signup form, and required outright in many. In practice every store should publish one, both because the obligation usually applies and because buyers look for it.

Terms and conditions. Sets out the rules of using your site and buying from you. On a high-ticket store this is where lead times, cancellation windows, and what happens if a freight delivery is refused should live. Skipping it means those disputes get resolved by whatever the customer assumed.

Return and refund policy. Legally expected in most markets and commercially essential on expensive products. A buyer considering a $9,000 purchase will read this before ordering, so it doubles as a sales asset rather than only a legal one.

Cookies policy. Needed if you run analytics, ad pixels, or anything else that sets cookies, which is nearly every store.

Disclaimer. Situational. Relevant if you publish advice, specifications, or performance claims that a buyer might rely on. A store publishing equipment specs and buying guides has a genuine use for one.

EULA. Only if you license software or digital products. Most physical-goods stores do not need it, and it is an easy line to buy by accident.

That is typically four documents for a normal store rather than six, and knowing which two you can skip is worth more than any discount.

The Provisions Worth Paying For

Within the privacy policy, the provisions are where the cost concentrates, and the decision is not really a budget question.

The GDPR and CCPA provision at $82 is the expensive one, and the test for whether you need it is not simply where your business is registered. GDPR reaches non-EU businesses that offer goods or services to people in the EU, and the threshold generally turns on whether you are targeting that market rather than on a single incidental sale. A US store that ships internationally, prices in euros, or runs ads reaching the EU and UK is much closer to that line than one that happens to post an order abroad once. Where exactly you fall is a question for a solicitor rather than for me, but if you are deliberately selling into those markets, this is the provision you are buying the product for.

The cheaper provisions map directly to tools you can inventory in ten minutes. Analytics at $24 if you run GA4 or anything similar. Email marketing at $14 if you have a list. Payments at $14 if you take card details through your site rather than only through a hosted checkout.

The useful exercise is to list every third-party script and service touching your site, then buy the provisions that match. That list is also worth having for its own sake, because most store owners cannot name everything running on their checkout page, and that is a bigger problem than the policy wording.

Is It Worth It?

For most ecommerce stores, yes, with a caveat about which half you are buying.

The document side is straightforwardly good value. Paying once for policies you own, priced by what your store actually does rather than by a flat tier that assumes the worst, is a sensible model and it is cheaper than renting over any reasonable time horizon.

The consent side at $100 a year is a separate purchase and does not come bundled at a discount because you bought documents. Price it against your alternatives directly, and note that at least one WordPress-native option covers three sites for less than half that figure.

And if you are pre-launch with no traffic, use the free tier. It costs nothing, the documents are real, and you can upgrade to remove the credit link the week you start taking orders. Paying for compliance coverage on a store with no customers is optimising the wrong thing.

Common Questions

Do I pay again if I change my documents later? Adding a provision you did not originally buy is a new purchase. Adding a payment processor or an analytics tool a year in means buying that clause. Budget for the document evolving rather than treating it as a single closed purchase.

Does one purchase cover multiple stores? Documents are generated for a specific business and site. If you run several stores under different brands, expect to generate and pay for each. This is where subscription platforms with multi-site allowances start to look better.

Is the free version legally valid? It produces a real document with basic provisions, and the attribution link is the price. Validity depends on whether it accurately describes what your store does, which is true of the paid version too. The paid provisions cover more ground, not better law.

What is the refund position? The pricing page states a seven-day refund window applying to both the one-time purchases and the subscriptions. Worth knowing given there is no free trial on the consent product.

Can I edit the documents after buying? They are yours, so yes. Which is also the risk, since an edited document is one you are now responsible for keeping accurate without any vendor safety net.
