GetTerms.io covers the basic ToS and Privacy Policy. FreeTOS covers those plus 20 additional document types that modern websites actually need: EULAs, DMCA policies, Cookie Policies with banner code, SaaS-specific Terms, Data Processing Agreements, and more.
FreeTOS uses Google Gemini 2.0 Flash to write genuinely tailored documents. GetTerms.io uses template assembly. The difference matters — AI-generated policies read naturally, handle edge cases, and produce output that actually matches your business model.
FreeTOS covers GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, PIPEDA, CalOPPA, COPPA, and LGPD across its generators. GetTerms has much more limited jurisdiction coverage. If your website has users in the EU or California, FreeTOS is the more thorough choice.
Bloggers and affiliate marketers need FTC-required disclosures — Affiliate Disclosure, Earnings Disclaimer, Sponsored Content Disclosure. FreeTOS has all three free. GetTerms.io doesn't offer any disclosure generators.
FreeTOS includes generators specifically built for SaaS products: SaaS Terms of Service (covering subscriptions, SLAs, and data handling), Data Processing Agreements (GDPR Article 28), and Data Retention Policies. GetTerms.io has no SaaS-specific tools.
FreeTOS generates in seconds with a clean two-panel interface — form on the left, live document output on the right. Copy to clipboard, download as HTML, or export as PDF instantly. No account creation, no dashboard navigation, no onboarding sequence.
FreeTOS is the most complete free legal document generator available. Generate all 22 document types instantly.
FreeTOS has a dedicated SaaS Terms of Service generator that handles subscription billing terms, acceptable use, service availability, refund clauses for subscriptions, and data handling obligations. It also includes a Data Processing Agreement generator and Data Retention Policy — both required for GDPR-compliant SaaS products. GetTerms.io doesn't offer these specialized SaaS documents.
Yes. FreeTOS has Shopify and WooCommerce-aware Refund Policy and Shipping Policy generators. The Privacy Policy generator includes options for e-commerce data collection (order data, payment processing, shipping providers). You can generate a complete legal page set for an online store in under 5 minutes.
Yes. FreeTOS's Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and EULA generators all have mobile app options. The Privacy Policy includes app-specific sections covering analytics SDKs, push notifications, in-app purchases, and App Store / Google Play requirements.
Yes — FreeTOS has a dedicated AI Content Disclaimer generator, one of very few free tools to offer this. As AI-generated content becomes more prevalent, FTC guidelines and emerging regulations increasingly require disclosure. FreeTOS covers this emerging compliance need, which GetTerms.io does not.
Both are straightforward tools. Here's how they actually stack up.

GetTerms is a newer, simpler tool. There are a couple of cases where it might genuinely suit you better.
GetTerms is a newer platform with a very clean, stripped-down interface. If you've found FreeTOS's 22-generator setup slightly overwhelming and you literally only need a Terms of Service and a Privacy Policy for a very simple site, GetTerms's focused simplicity might feel more comfortable. It does fewer things, which can be appealing when you know exactly what you need and don't want to navigate options. FreeTOS is broader by design — that's a feature for most users, but not for everyone.
At $39.99/year, GetTerms is on the cheaper end of paid legal document tools. If you specifically want to pay something (perhaps because you feel more confident in a paid service, or you want the receipt for expense purposes), GetTerms is a reasonable budget choice. That said, FreeTOS is free and uses better AI, so the honest answer is you're paying for peace of mind more than added capability.
GetTerms requires an account and stores your documents there. Some people find it useful to have a central login where their legal documents live. FreeTOS doesn't store anything — you download or copy the output and manage it yourself. If you'd like a document library attached to an account, GetTerms provides that. FreeTOS is stateless by design, which protects your privacy but means you're responsible for saving your output.
GetTerms charges $7.99/month or $39.99/year. FreeTOS charges nothing. That's not a small difference when you're early stage. $40/year might not sound like much, but multiplied across a few tools it adds up. FreeTOS covers all 22 document types at zero cost, no subscription, no payment details required. For solo founders and bootstrapped projects, free is the only budget tier that makes sense early on.
Both FreeTOS and GetTerms output documents you host yourself. The difference is FreeTOS uses AI to produce more tailored, readable output and covers far more document types. If you're building a SaaS product and need a EULA, a Data Processing Agreement, an Acceptable Use Policy, and a Cookie Policy on top of the basics, FreeTOS has all of them. GetTerms will send you back to Google after the first two.
You've got an idea. You need a privacy policy and terms before you can launch. You don't know if this thing will survive the next six months. Paying $40/year for legal documents before you have product-market fit is a distraction. FreeTOS gets you legally covered in two minutes for free. Come back to evaluating paid compliance tools when you have paying users.
GetTerms's $7.99/month plan is presumably per account, which may or may not cover unlimited sites depending on their terms. FreeTOS has no site limits, no account, and no plan tiers. You can generate policies for twenty websites in a single afternoon — each with their own business name, URL, and details — all for free. Agencies love this.
For most people, probably not — at least not compared to FreeTOS. GetTerms charges $7.99/month or $39.99/year for a template-based generator covering a handful of document types. FreeTOS covers 22 document types using actual AI, for free, with no account required. GetTerms is a newer platform with a clean interface, and if paying a small amount makes you feel more confident about the output, that's a valid personal preference. But on a pure features-for-cost basis, FreeTOS wins clearly.
Yes, easily. GetTerms delivers documents you download and host yourself, so there's no hosted URL to migrate away from. The switch is simple: generate fresh versions of each document on FreeTOS, replace the content on your existing legal pages (or create new pages if you haven't set them up yet), update your footer links if needed, and cancel your GetTerms subscription. Since both tools produce documents you self-host, the whole process takes about 20 minutes. You'll end up with AI-generated documents that are more tailored to your specific business, and you'll stop paying $40/year.
FreeTOS's output is better, not just equivalent. GetTerms uses templates — it fills in your business name and a few details into pre-written clauses. The output is functional but fairly generic. FreeTOS uses Google Gemini AI to write a document from scratch based on your specific answers. AI-generated documents handle unusual business models more naturally, produce more readable prose, and adapt the language to your actual situation rather than outputting one-size-fits-all template text. The difference is noticeable when you read both side by side.
GetTerms stores your generated documents in an account you can log back into. That's the main practical advantage. FreeTOS is stateless — it generates your document and doesn't store anything, which is great for privacy but means you're responsible for saving your output. If you've ever lost a generated document because you forgot to copy it, GetTerms's account-based storage is genuinely handy. Beyond that, GetTerms doesn't have features that FreeTOS lacks. FreeTOS has more document types, better AI, and costs nothing.
No, and this comes up a lot. A document's legal validity depends entirely on its content — whether it accurately describes your practices, covers the disclosures required by applicable laws, and is published accessibly on your site. There's no legal principle that says a document you paid $40 for is more enforceable than one you generated free. Both GetTerms and FreeTOS are document generators, not law firms. For either tool, the sensible advice is the same: for high-stakes situations, complex contracts, or regulated industries, have an attorney review your documents regardless of what generated them.
GetTerms gives you documents to download and host yourself, so your policies already live on your domain — there's no hosted URL migration needed. The process is just a content replacement. Download your current policies from GetTerms for reference, generate updated versions on FreeTOS, and replace the content on your existing legal pages with the new FreeTOS output. If you've been linking to pages on your own site all along, your URLs stay the same, your footer links stay the same, and nothing breaks. Easy.
