Policify vs TrustArc

TrustArc is enterprise-grade software with enterprise pricing — plans typically start at £15,000–£30,000/year for basic deployments and scale significantly for enterprise. Policify Unlimited is £9/month, self-serve, no contract, no minimum commitment. For SMBs, agencies, and startups, Policify is accessible where TrustArc simply is not.

TrustArc requires a full sales qualification process: book a demo, speak with an account executive, receive a custom quote, navigate a procurement process. Policify is entirely self-serve: sign up with your email, build your first policy in minutes. No calls, no contracts, no waiting.

TrustArc is a privacy programme management platform. Policify generates 120 compliance document types — NDAs, employment handbooks, HIPAA notices, DORA compliance, AML/KYC policies, EULA, contractor agreements, and 113 more types. TrustArc doesn't generate these.

Every Policify draft is verified for accuracy and completeness, catching hallucinated citations, missing clauses, and regulatory inconsistencies. TrustArc uses a template engine.

Both platforms cover major global frameworks, but Policify generates jurisdiction-specific policy documents in 120 languages including Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Swahili, and Bahasa. This is direct generation in the target language with jurisdiction-appropriate phrasing — not machine translation.

For businesses serving non-English-speaking markets — particularly APAC, MENA, and Sub-Saharan Africa — Policify's language coverage is a significant practical advantage. TrustArc's document language coverage is more limited and focused on major EU and English-speaking markets.

TrustArc's TRUSTe certification is one of the most recognised privacy trust marks globally, recognised by the FTC and endorsed under multiple government frameworks. For enterprises where third-party privacy certification is a requirement (US federal, healthcare, financial services), TrustArc's certification programme has no Policify equivalent.

TrustArc is a full privacy operations platform: privacy impact assessments, data inventory and mapping, vendor risk management, employee privacy training, consent lifecycle management, and enterprise workflow automation. For large organisations that need a central privacy GRC hub, TrustArc's depth is comprehensive.

TrustArc's consent management platform is used by large enterprises across the US and EU, with sophisticated consent logging, preference centres, and integration with advertising and analytics stacks. Policify's CMP is in active development.

TrustArc provides enterprise-grade data inventory and Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) tools with automated discovery capabilities. For organisations under GDPR Article 30 obligations requiring comprehensive processing records across hundreds of systems, TrustArc's purpose-built tooling is stronger.
