The self-hosted Termly alternative
Privara: A self-hosted register for GDPR and CCPA / CPRA data requests, each tracked against its own deadline. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Termly every month.
Stop renting Termly.
6 months of Termly costs what Privara costs once.
Buy onceHow we counted: The unit is a WEBSITE, not a seat: $14 is Starter for one site month to month. Re-read 2026-09-26: Termly prices by location, and this European address was shown euros (Starter 9,5 and 13, Pro+ 13,5 and 18 per website/month) while the served HTML carries the dollar table; the euro figures are Termly's own, not a conversion. The bulk discount now starts at 2 licenses, not 5 as on 2026-09-03. The promo is noted, not used. Privara is $79 once, whatever number of sites.
Termly meters by WEBSITE and by billing term at the same time: more sites means more licenses, and the monthly option costs a third or more above the annual one on both paid tiers ($14 against $10, $20 against $15).

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.
“embeddable dsar form”, their own page
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.
What Privara deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.
Why owning beats renting Termly.
No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.
It never lives in Termly's cloud.
Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.
The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Privara vs renting comparison.
