eRecht24 review

eRecht24 is run by eRecht24 GmbH & Co. KG in Berlin and was founded in the 1990s by the lawyer Sören Siebert. It is best known in Germany for its free imprint (Impressum) and privacy policy generators, which work anonymously and produce PDF and HTML output; English versions are part of the paid membership.

The free Website Scanner reads the source code of a page and reports which critical tools and plugins are embedded, whether they need consent and whether the privacy policy is up to date. It works by recognising keywords, and the vendor's FAQ names tools that can cause false positives, such as Matomo, PayPal or Vimeo. The scanner page does not describe checks of the imprint, HTTPS or a cookie inventory. Other free tools check Google Fonts, the statutory withdrawal button and AI use, and a WCAG-oriented accessibility scanner sends its report after an e-mail address is entered.

Premium membership adds a consent tool, a project manager with step-by-step guides, an update service that reports legal changes and partner seals for websites and social media. Basic includes five projects and 125,000 consent-tool sessions per month per project. The Business tier adds a terms and conditions generator, protection against cease-and-desist letters (Abmahnschutz), a first consultation with a lawyer and an accessibility statement generator; Enterprise and Ultimate add lawyer hours and an external data protection officer.

The membership page shows Basic at €15 per month, Business €40, Enterprise €90 and Ultimate €800, each as a 50% discount against a struck-through price and linked to annual payment; it gives no VAT statement and contradicts itself on whether Basic includes Abmahnschutz. Monthly memberships renew month by month and can be cancelled at any time. There is no published free trial. The service is built for German law and is available in German.
