The self-hosted Termly alternative
Privara — Self-hosted GDPR DSAR portal that tracks every request against its statutory deadline. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Termly every month.
Stop renting Termly
6 months of Termly equals this one-time price.
Assumption: The unit here is a WEBSITE, not a seat: $14 is Starter for one site on month-to-month billing, and a second site is another licence. The regular prices are the ones stored — a promo code was live on the day and is noted rather than used, because a discount that expires is not a price. Privara is $79 once for the DSAR portal, whatever number of sites feed it.
How Termly pricing grows with you
Termly meters by WEBSITE and by billing term at the same time: more sites means more licences, and the monthly option costs about 40% more than the annual one on both paid tiers.

What Termly does that we don't
Termly is the whole consent layer around the request form — a scanner, a banner, generated policies, and an embeddable DSAR form your visitors fill in.

Who should stay with Termly
Stay with Termly if you want the cookie banner, the scanner and the generated policies as one hosted subscription. Privara is the case file behind the request: every DSAR tracked against its statutory deadline on your own server, with no policy generator and no scanner. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Termly
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Termly's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Privara vs Termly comparison.
