InkTerms vs iubenda

Both help you get compliant legal documents — but they work very differently. Here's an honest comparison so you can pick the right one.

The core difference

iubenda is a subscription compliance platform — you pay an ongoing fee (typically billed per website) for policies plus tools like a cookie-consent banner and consent management that update over time. InkTerms generates a tailored legal document you pay for once and own outright — no subscription required — with an optional plan only if you want ongoing updates.

When iubenda is the better choice

If you need a live cookie-consent banner and ongoing consent management across one or more sites — and you're happy paying a recurring subscription for it — iubenda is built for that. It's a full compliance platform, not just a document generator.

You answer a few questions, our AI writes documents specific to your business, and you download and publish them. Ideal for indie founders, apps, SaaS and small stores that need compliant documents without an ongoing bill.
