Termly and OrbitKit solve adjacent but different problems
Termly is built for websites that need GDPR, CCPA, ePrivacy, and cookie-consent compliance. Its strengths are cookie scanners, consent management platforms, and jurisdiction-aware web policies. A privacy policy is the one place its scope overlaps with the App Store.
OrbitKit is built for Apple-platform apps. Its scope is the specific set of web URLs and files App Review verifies: the privacy policy, plus the support page, the data-deletion page, the apple-app-site-association file, the Smart App Banner, and Sign in with Apple / Apple Pay verification files. Everything past the privacy policy is something Termly doesn't generate — not a flaw, just outside what it's for.
Termly vs OrbitKit on the axes that matter for iOS
The comparison that decides an App Store submission isn't feature count — it's whether the tool models what App Review actually checks.

Why iOS developers switch from Termly to OrbitKit
One policy, mapped to App Store Connect
OrbitKit's 12-step wizard maps 1:1 to the App Privacy questionnaire, so there's no translating a web-GDPR policy into Apple's taxonomy — and no mismatch for App Review to flag. See the privacy policy generator.
The URLs Termly doesn't generate
A privacy policy is one of five things Apple wants. OrbitKit also produces your support page, data-deletion page, and AASA file — the parts a website-compliance tool leaves you to build by hand.
Everything on one hosted domain
All your App Store URLs live under https://your-domain.com with automatic SSL, so they don't break on your next site redesign and you're not paying for a website builder you don't need.
You're not paying for a CMP
Cookie banners and consent platforms are website features. If your app doesn't need them, OrbitKit's $5/mo per app is the scope you actually pay for — build free, publish when ready.
Termly alternative questions
Can I use Termly for an iOS App Store submission?
You can use a Termly policy as the Privacy Policy URL in App Store Connect, but Termly is built for website GDPR/CCPA and cookie-consent compliance, not the App Store submission workflow. It doesn't generate the support page, data-deletion page, or apple-app-site-association file that App Review also expects, and its policy isn't structured around Apple's 14 data categories.
What does OrbitKit do that Termly doesn't for iOS apps?
OrbitKit maps your privacy policy to Apple's 14 App Privacy data categories so it aligns with your App Store Connect questionnaire, and it also generates the support page (Guideline 1.5), the account-deletion page (Guideline 5.1.1(v)), and the apple-app-site-association file for Universal Links — surfaces Termly doesn't model because they're outside a website-compliance tool's scope.
Does OrbitKit have a cookie consent banner like Termly?
No. Cookie consent banners and consent management platforms are a website concern, not a native-app one. If you also run a marketing website that needs a CMP, Termly is a reasonable fit there. OrbitKit's scope is the web URLs and files Apple's App Review verifies for an app submission.
How much does the OrbitKit Termly alternative cost?
Building and previewing every page is free. You pay $5/mo per app to take a site live on your own custom domain. There's no free trial — you build for free, then pay only when you publish.
Can I move an existing Termly policy to OrbitKit?
Yes. Re-answer the 12-step wizard with your real data practices and OrbitKit generates a fresh Apple-mapped policy plus a matching nutrition-label preview. Point the App Store Connect Privacy Policy URL field at your new hosted URL and you're done.
