Having a few visible policies in place can help you protect your website, products, services, business interests, and customers.
Below, I’ve listed some tools that can help you create those policies without having to hire lawyers. These tools will either be free or have a decent freemium account with affordable premium options.

Termly
Termly helps small businesses stay compliant with global privacy laws and regulations and create a variety of legal policies, all without spending thousands of dollars in legal fees.
Whether you’re on a free plan or a paid plan, all plans come with unlimited users, privacy regulation monitoring ad updates, global compliance protection, HTML policies embedded directly on your site, consent banners to comply with global privacy requirements, cookie policy, script auto blocker, and scans to categorize your sites cookies and tracking mechanisms.
The free plan is generally sufficient for solopreneurs or small businesses, and comes with:
- 1 legal policy on 1 website
- 4 policy revisions
- Quarterly scans
- Consent banner for 10,000 visitors
- Consent preference center: allows your site visitors to control their tracking preferences
- Embeddable DSAR form: allows your site visitors to modify or transfer their personal data
- A WordPress plugin
The paid plans come with additional features such as increased number of legal policies, increased number of policy revisions, increased monthly consent banner for visitors, customer banner and policy styles, consent logs, multi-language support, and removal of Termly logo.
My favourite thing about Termly is that it can be used to create a variety of legal policies for your business (rather than 1 type), such as privacy policy, terms and conditions, disclaimers, and a return policy. They also have a free Terms and Conditions generator that’s easy to use.

Terms Feed
Terms Feed allows small business owners to easily create legal policies for the sites, services, and apps. Similar to Termly, you won’t need to spend thousands having a lawyer create policies for you.
The great thing about Terms Feed is that it isn’t subscription based, so you’d only pay a one-time fee for the policies that you need.
They offer a variety of services and generic policies for free, depending on what is needed:
- Cookie consent solution
- CCPA Opt-out
- Agreement checkbox (but you need to link your own privacy policies and terms and conditions)
- Templates and generators for refund policies, terms of service, terms of use, disclaimer, privacy policy, and EULA
Each of the generators offer a generic legal policy. However, you can choose to include additional clauses and sections for a fee in USD. Each additional clause in each policy generator will include a fee (which would be exclusive of any taxes).
My favourite thing about Terms Feed is that it isn’t a subscription, which is rare to find nowadays. I also appreciate that they have a lot of information on their site, including templates for each type of policy.

Enzuzo
With policies written by lawyers (without the expensive price tag), Enzuzo makes it easy to create and display legal policies for your business.
Whether you sign up for the free plan or subscribe, the policies work with platforms such as Shopify, Wix, Webflow, Squarespace, WooCommerce, and can be used for either your website or mobile app.
The free plan comes with:
- Generic terms of service compliant policy
- Generic CCPA compliant privacy policy
- Cookie banner
- 1 language support
The paid plans come with additional features such as policies for additional domains, DSAR (data request) custom legal policies, removal of Enzuzo logo, returns and shipping policies, additional language support, built-in data requests or CCPA forms, and Premium support from the Enzuzo team.
My favourite thing about Enzuzo (free version) is how easily and quickly you can create a policy or cookie banner. You just input some details about your business (such where the policy will be displayed, your business name and address, etc), and you’re good to go!
I also love that the policies are created by lawyers. Sure, they may not be your lawyers, but a policy created by lawyers helps to ensure that you’re in compliance with global policy standards.
