OPEN-SOURCE POLICY-AS-CODE
The First Policy Framework for Busy Founders and Developers
Templates are static documents that go stale. OpenPolicy generates policies from your actual configuration — so they stay accurate as your product evolves.
| OpenPolicy | Templates | |
|---|---|---|
| Renders as React / Vue / Svelte component | ✓ <PrivacyPolicy /> drops into your app | ✗ Document only |
| Stays in sync with your product | ✓ Regenerated on every build | ✗ Manual updates |
| Type-safe configuration | ✓ | ✗ |
| Catches missing required fields | ✓ At compile time | ✗ |
| Version controlled in Git | ✓ | ✗ |
| Multi-format output | Markdown, HTML, PDF | Word / PDF only |
| GDPR & CCPA coverage | ✓ | Varies |
| Cost | Free | Free to $50+ |
A template gives you a document that was correct when it was written. From that point on, it's your responsibility to keep it accurate. Add a new third-party service? Change your data retention period? Expand to the EU? The template doesn't know — and neither does anything in your build pipeline.
OpenPolicy's TypeScript config means your editor tells you when a required field is missing before you ship. Templates have no equivalent — it's just text with placeholders, and a missed placeholder means a broken policy.
Templates produce one document. OpenPolicy produces Markdown, HTML, and PDF from the same config, integrates with your framework at build time, and keeps everything in version control. It's the difference between a static file and a living part of your codebase.
