EUComply vs Termly: which one fits EU compliance work?
Termly is one of the best-known names in website privacy compliance — especially for generating cookie banners and policy documents. If you are evaluating it against alternatives, this page compares it with EUComply's free scanner and current WordPress Pro honestly, including what both tools do not do. Pricing details change often, so always confirm current numbers on the vendor's own site.
The short version: Termly is strong on consent management and policy generation, primarily from a US perspective. EUComply offers a one-off website scanner for any public URL. Its current Pro license is for the WordPress plugin and provides editable HTML starters plus an HTML report from the latest WordPress scan. Hosted website monitoring is not included.
Side by side
| Termly | EUComply: free scanner + WordPress Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie banner / consent management | ✓ Core feature | No — the free scanner checks consent mechanisms; Pro does not serve a banner |
| Privacy / cookie policy generator | ✓ | No full generator. WordPress Pro includes editable HTML starter documents for DPA, NIS2/DORA and EAA |
| Automated technical scan of your live site | Limited — mainly around cookies and trackers | Free scanner: 9 URL checks. Free plugin: 6 WordPress checks. Pro adds document starters and the latest-scan HTML report |
| German Impressum detection | — | ✓ Free scanner |
| DORA page-signal markers (not an assessment) | — | ✓ Free scanner |
| European Accessibility Act basics (accessibility-statement link) | — | ✓ Free scanner |
| DORA vendor-compliance checklist material | — | Starter NIS2/DORA clauses included in WordPress Pro; full templates sold separately |
| Works on any platform (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, custom…) | ✓ | Free scanner works on any URL; Pro documents require WordPress |
| Pricing model | Subscription tiers per month; higher features cost more | Flat $79/year per site for current WordPress Pro tools |
What Termly does better
- Serving consent. If you need a fully managed cookie-consent platform with granular preference centres and IAB TCF certification, Termly's consent product is more complete than anything we offer. We deliberately don't build banners.
- Document generation at scale. A large library of jurisdiction-aware policy generators, maintained continuously as laws change.
- Maturity. A large customer base and brand recognition — relevant if procurement requires a known vendor name.
What EUComply does better
- European scope, not just GDPR paperwork. Termly's focus is consent and policies. Our checks target obligations that most consent tools never touch: the German Impressum requirement, DORA page-signal markers (not an assessment), accessibility-statement links and server-side security headers like HSTS.
- Current Pro scope. The WordPress plugin provides editable HTML starter documents, an HTML report from the latest scan, the same report as a PDF, a per-check scan history and an e-mail alert when a check passes and later fails. Hosted monitoring and a live badge are planned, not included today.
- Documents you can edit. The current WordPress Pro license provides editable HTML starters and an HTML report from the latest scan. Full templates are sold separately.
- Predictable price. One flat $79/year per site. No feature gates, no per-impression consent billing, no surprise tier upgrades when your traffic grows.
Which should you pick?
- You mainly need a cookie banner and generated policies: Termly (or a dedicated CMP) is the right category of tool.
- You sell into the EU and want a fresh technical check plus WordPress document tools: that is the current EUComply Pro scope. Many businesses use both: a CMP for consent and EUComply for point-in-time checks and local document generation.
- Need document tools for a WordPress site: the current Pro license provides editable HTML starters and an HTML report from the latest scan.
Honest limits: no automated scanner can prove legal compliance — only reduce risk and surface issues. Neither tool replaces legal advice. And if your primary need is serving user consent itself, neither our scanner nor any monitor substitutes for a real consent-management platform.
Try before you decide
Run our free scan on your own URL — nine checks, no signup, results in seconds. Then compare that output with whatever report your current tool gives you.
