Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

iubenda

  • Plans are metered by monthly pageviews, so a single viral article can push a site two tiers up mid-year and the cost is driven by traffic rather than by revenue.
  • Generated policies are templates from a clause library, so unusual data processing, complex international transfers or sector-specific rules are not covered and still need a lawyer.
  • It addresses the public-facing compliance surface only, with no data discovery, vendor risk assessment or data subject request automation, so a growing company will need a second platform.
  • The accessibility product is delivered through a partner and priced separately, and overlay widgets of that kind are contested as an accessibility solution, so buying it does not remove legal exposure.
  • Support is largely documentation and ticket based at the lower tiers, which is a poor match for an urgent regulatory query where the answer is needed the same day.

Relativity

  • Quote-only and expensive, typically billed on data volume, so costs escalate with matter size
  • Complex enough that certified specialists are a job title, which is a real staffing cost
  • Considerable overkill for small matters, where lighter self-service tools are far cheaper

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

iubenda: Is iubenda a certified consent platform?

Yes. It is an IAB-validated CMP supporting TCF 2.2 and a Google-certified CMP partner with Consent Mode built in.

Relativity: What does Relativity cost?

It does not publish rates. Ediscovery is generally billed on data volume and users, quoted per matter or organisation.

iubenda: What does it cost?

Prices are published: 59.88 euros a year for up to 25,000 monthly pageviews, 239.88 for 50,000 and 959.88 for 150,000.

Relativity: Is Relativity only for law firms?

No. Corporate legal departments and government agencies use it for investigations as well as litigation.

iubenda: Do the generated policies make me compliant?

They cover the disclosure obligations for common processing. Unusual processing, international transfers or sector rules still need legal advice.

Relativity: Do I need trained staff?

In practice yes. Relativity certification is a recognised specialism, and that staffing cost is part of the total.

iubenda: Does it handle data subject access requests?

Not in the way a dedicated privacy platform does. It is focused on policies, consent and processing records.
