What eRecht24 does

eRecht24 is a German legal-tech SaaS platform founded in 1999 by Rechtsanwalt Sören Siebert and headquartered in Berlin. The company operates a self-serve, product-led growth model that funnels more than 250,000 premium subscribers and 849,331+ secured web projects through automated document generators (Impressum, Datenschutzerklärung, AGB, Widerrufsbelehrung) and compliance scanning tools built for German and EU digital regulation. Its core product surface is a rule-based legal document engine that maps user inputs (business type, web services used, data processing activities) to templated legal text, augmented by an AI-labeled privacy policy generator (v1.50) and a KI-Check compliance scanner that flags AI-governance gaps. The platform is monetized through four subscription tiers — Basic (€15/mo), Business (€40/mo), Enterprise (€90/mo), and Ultimate (€800/mo) — with revenue also generated from bundled certified DPO services via Legaltrust and premium advisory offerings through partner law firm Siebert Lexow.

The target customer base is predominantly German-speaking SMB website operators, online retailers, agencies, and platform-shop sellers (including TikTok Shops) who lack in-house legal counsel but face mandatory disclosure, privacy, and consumer-protection obligations under GDPR, TMG, TTDSG, and EU consumer law. Distribution is driven by an extensive free content library and SEO-ranked guides that convert organic traffic into paid tiers, explaining how the company sustains a 250,000+ premium subscriber base with only ~20 employees. The reported 89% recommendation rate and 83% customer satisfaction indicate strong product-market fit within the DACH SMB compliance segment, though the company has not disclosed formal funding, ARR, or headcount-growth metrics that would signal hyper-growth trajectory.

Emerging players

• Accountable: EU-focused GDPR and data protection compliance SaaS targeting SMBs with automated documentation and DPO-as-a-service. Overlaps with eRecht24's DatenschutzPro and external DPO offerings, with a more cross-EU focus.
• Privacy Lab: Privacy policy and cookie consent generator service for websites, with a multilingual focus. Provides overlapping free and premium privacy compliance tools to a comparable SMB audience.
• LEGALIANS (CMS Hasche Sigle): Digital legal platform for SMBs, including privacy and terms generators with attorney-backed templates. Adjacent offering in the German legal-tech space with similar PLG distribution.

Direct peers

• IT-Recht Kanzlei: Munich-based law firm offering legal text generators (AGB, Datenschutz, Impressum) and cease-and-desist protection for German online businesses. Directly competes with eRecht24 in the same template-and-advice model for German website operators and agencies.
• Händlerbund: German legal compliance provider for online retailers, offering AGB, privacy policies, and legal protection packages. Targets a similar e-commerce and SMB customer base with comparable subscription pricing and cease-and-desist protection.
• Protected Shops: Provides legal texts (AGB, Impressum, Datenschutz) and trust seals for German online shops, with a comparable subscription model and DACH market focus.
• Janolaw: Online legal services platform offering AGB, privacy policy generation, and legal consultation for German SMBs and online shops. Competes head-to-head with eRecht24's premium tiers in the same SMB compliance segment.

Broad incumbents

• Trusted Shops: Established DACH trust-mark and certification provider for e-commerce, offering legal text generation alongside trust seals, reviews, and buyer protection. Broader product portfolio but overlapping legal compliance offering for online retailers.
