Termitude
Comparison

Beyond Word &
Google Docs for legal documents.

Docs are great for drafting. They can't version, publish or prove acceptance — which is everything your Terms, Privacy and DPAs actually need to do. Here's the gap, side by side.

Three things Docs can't do

The gaps that actually create legal risk.

Prove which version a user accepted

In Docs, the only record is the timestamp on the user's signup row. There's no link back to the exact text they saw. Termitude writes an acceptance receipt sealed against the version's content hash.

Show what changed between v2 and v3

Docs version history is page-anchored and overwritten by edits. Termitude keeps every published version permanently and renders a word-level redline between any two of them — not just adjacent ones.

Push the new text to every surface

Update a doc and you still have to update the website, the app and the in-product modal by hand. Termitude publishes once and every embed and hosted page serves the new version automatically.

FAQ

Common questions

Why not just keep our policies in Word or Google Docs?
Docs are great for drafting but they overwrite history, can't prove which version a user accepted, and can't push updates to your live site or app. The moment a policy goes in front of users, it stops behaving like a document and starts behaving like a published system — and that's what Termitude is built for.
Can I import my existing Word or Google Docs policies?
Yes. Termitude imports from Word (.docx), PDF, HTML and Markdown. The first import becomes version 1.0; every subsequent edit creates a new permanent version automatically.
Do we still draft in Docs and then publish to Termitude?
You can. Many teams keep collaborative drafting in Docs and use Termitude as the publishing, versioning and consent layer. Termitude is the source of truth that your website, product and apps read from.
Is Termitude a replacement for Word, Google Docs, or our CMS?
No. It complements them. Docs and your CMS handle authoring and content; Termitude handles the version control, publication and consent layer specifically for documents users have to agree to.
What about a CLM (contract lifecycle management) tool?
CLMs are built for negotiated, counter-signed contracts. Termitude is built for the policies you publish to many users at once — Terms, Privacy, DPAs, AI policies, cookie policies. The two are complementary, not overlapping.
