Termly is published in the United States and stores its data there. For a Quebec site, that means your consents and policies transit under US CLOUD Act jurisdiction. Moelleux hosts everything in Quebec, generates your policy in Quebec French Loi 25-compliant, and costs the same.
Termly is US-based and stores its data there. Under the CLOUD Act, the US government can demand access to data of foreign citizens stored by a US company. Moelleux hosts everything in Quebec, OVH-certified — your data does not leave Canada.
Termly generates GDPR/CCPA policies in English, then translatable. The Quebec Loi 25 does not appear in their jurisdiction catalog. Moelleux is built in Quebec French, with the 9 mandatory sections, the Commission d'accès à l'information, and the named privacy officer.
Termly does weekly scans on Pro+ (monthly on Starter, quarterly on Free). Moelleux scans on demand with Playwright + Open Cookie Database — instant, complete, automatic on every policy regeneration.

The CLOUD Act (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act, 2018) lets US authorities demand access to data stored by a US company, even if the data concerns foreign citizens and is physically stored outside the USA. Termly being US-based, yes, this risk applies.
Termly covers GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD and a few others. The Quebec Loi 25 is not in their explicit list — you can customize a generic policy but it is not native. Moelleux generates the 9 mandatory Loi 25 sections out of the box.
Standard site: 30 minutes. No downtime.
You can export them before cancellation and keep them as archive. New Moelleux-generated policies replace them at migration. Legally, a tool change is a version change that restarts the consent cycle.
