Comparison
OneTrust handles enterprise privacy infrastructure. Legalify handles the words in your ads. They solve different problems — here's how to know which one you actually need.
Scans the wording of EU ad copy, landing pages, and consent language for GDPR risk. Maps findings to specific articles, detects special category data inference, bundled consent, and transparency gaps. Returns a compliance score and ready-to-use rewrites. No enterprise contract, no onboarding.
Enterprise-grade platform covering consent management, data mapping, vendor risk, DSARs, and privacy programme governance. Built for DPOs and compliance officers at large organisations. Excellent for infrastructure-level privacy compliance — not designed to audit the wording of individual ad campaigns.

FAQ
No — they solve different problems. OneTrust manages consent, data mapping, DSARs, and privacy governance across an organisation. Legalify scans the specific wording of ad copy for GDPR risk before campaigns go live. Most teams that need Legalify already have or are evaluating a CMP like OneTrust separately.
Because OneTrust does not audit ad copy wording. OneTrust handles privacy infrastructure — consent banners, data inventories, vendor risk. Legalify handles the compliance risk that lives in the words of your ads: claims that imply special category data, consent language that is bundled or unclear, and disclosure gaps under Article 13/14. These are separate compliance layers.
No. You still need a CMP for cookie consent and data collection on your website. Legalify checks that the ad copy driving people to that website does not make promises or disclosures that are themselves non-compliant. The two tools work on different surfaces.
A Legalify scan takes about 10 seconds. OneTrust implementation is typically measured in weeks or months depending on scope. They are not comparable — Legalify is a per-campaign tool, OneTrust is a programme-level investment.
