Where Policify is stronger
For SMBs, startups, and agencies — where Policify wins clearly.
£9/month vs £15,000+/year
OneTrust is enterprise software priced accordingly — contracts typically start at £15,000–£25,000/year and scale to £100,000+ for large deployments. Policify Unlimited is £9/month, self-serve, no contract, no minimum commitment. For SMBs, agencies, and startups, the comparison is stark.
No sales call — start in 2 minutes
OneTrust requires a demo booking, sales qualification, a custom pricing quote, and typically a multi-week procurement process. Policify is entirely self-serve: sign up, answer the builder questions, get your policy. No call, no contract, no negotiation.
Document breadth OneTrust doesn't offer
OneTrust is a privacy programme management platform. Policify generates 120 compliance document types — NDAs, employment handbooks, HIPAA notices, DORA compliance, AML/KYC policies, and 115 more. OneTrust doesn't cover these.
Accuracy verification on every output
Policify verifies every draft for accuracy and completeness, catching hallucinated citations, missing clauses, and regulatory inconsistencies. OneTrust uses a template engine.
180+ jurisdiction policy generation
Both platforms cover 180+ jurisdictions, but Policify generates jurisdiction-specific documents in 120 languages — including Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, and Swahili. OneTrust's language coverage for document generation is more limited.
120 languages for policy documents
Policify generates policy documents directly in the target language with jurisdiction-appropriate phrasing — not just translated. This matters for businesses serving non-English-speaking markets where local language compliance is a legal requirement.
Where OneTrust is stronger
Where OneTrust genuinely leads — for enterprises with the budget.
Enterprise privacy programme management
OneTrust is a full privacy programme management platform: data mapping, vendor risk management, privacy impact assessments, consent logs, incident response tracking, and enterprise workflow automation. If you need a centralised privacy GRC platform, OneTrust's depth is unmatched.
Consent Management at enterprise scale
OneTrust's CMP is used by thousands of large enterprises and handles consent at massive scale with sophisticated segmentation, A/B testing, and integration with the full advertising tech stack. Policify's CMP is in development.
Vendor and third-party risk management
OneTrust's vendor risk modules let enterprises assess, score, and manage third-party privacy and security risk. Policify has no equivalent — this is a fundamentally different product capability.
RoPA and data mapping
OneTrust provides enterprise-grade Records of Processing Activities and data inventory tools. For organisations under GDPR Article 30 obligations requiring documented processing records, OneTrust's tooling is purpose-built.
Frequently asked questions
Is Policify a real alternative to OneTrust for small businesses?
Yes — for most SMBs, Policify is a more practical choice than OneTrust. Policify generates 120 policy document types at £9/month, self-serve. OneTrust is designed for enterprise privacy programme management and priced accordingly (£15,000+/year contracts, sales-led process). Unless you need enterprise GRC features like data mapping or vendor risk management, Policify covers what you actually need.
What does OneTrust actually cost?
OneTrust does not publish pricing publicly. Based on publicly available market data, SMB contracts typically start at £10,000–£25,000/year, mid-market at £30,000–£60,000/year, and enterprise at £60,000–£100,000+/year. All tiers require a sales process. Policify's published pricing starts at £9/month.
Does Policify replace OneTrust's consent management?
Policify's CMP is in active development and will address cookie consent and preference management. For complex enterprise consent requirements today, OneTrust's mature CMP is stronger. For policy document generation — privacy policies, terms, NDAs, and 117 other types — Policify is the better fit regardless of size.
Does Policify have data mapping like OneTrust?
No. Policify is a compliance document generation platform. OneTrust includes enterprise data mapping, Records of Processing Activities, vendor risk, and privacy programme tools. These are fundamentally different product categories. Policify covers documents; OneTrust covers programme management.
Can I use Policify alongside OneTrust?
Yes. Some larger organisations use Policify for policy document generation (where it's faster and broader) while using OneTrust for programme management. They're complementary for that use case.
Why would a business switch from OneTrust to Policify?
Typically cost and complexity reduction. Many businesses find OneTrust's enterprise feature set is more than they need and its pricing is disproportionate to their compliance requirements. Policify covers the document generation and basic consent needs at a fraction of the cost, often with faster time-to-compliance.
