Pricing

Simple pricing, disclosed upfront:
$120 year one, $60/year after

Most people learn what a vault really costs in year two — from their card statement. Here it is before you pay a cent instead: $120 for your first year with a 30-day free trial, then $60 a year for as long as you stay. Trusted Contact accounts for your family will be free.

One plan

Everything included. Nothing gated.

There’s no “starter” vault missing the parts your family would actually need. Every subscriber gets the whole product — and at renewal, the price drops to half.

The vault stores what your attorney drafts; Gap Discovery shows what’s missing or expiring; and the Verify-Silence Release Protocol we’re building for alpha is designed to take over when your people need in and you can’t answer. See how the protocol works →

What $120, then $60, buys

Included at launch — with several capabilities in development for alpha; we’ll walk you through the current state in the demo:

  • A secure vault for wills, trusts, powers of attorney, directives, deeds, and policies — AES-256 encrypted with AWS KMS
  • Gap Discovery — documents automatically classified into 18 categories today; gap alerts rolling out during alpha
  • The Verify-Silence Release Protocol — emergency access for incapacity, not just death (in development for alpha)
  • An Emergency Medical Packet your contacts can reach quickly (in development for alpha)
  • Free view-only Trusted Contact accounts for family (in development for alpha)
  • One-click export of everything, any time (in development for alpha)

The part that’s usually fine print

This category has earned a trust problem: surprise renewal charges, documents deleted on cancellation, files held hostage behind a paywall. Our answer is written here, in headline type.

Never held hostage

Your documents are yours. There is no paywall between you and your own vault contents — ever.

Never deleted on cancellation

Cancel and your documents remain exportable. We don’t erase your family’s map because a card expired.

Exportable by design

One-click export of everything — during the trial, mid-subscription, or after you’ve cancelled — is in development for alpha.

The free tier

The people you’re protecting won’t pay

One subscription is designed to cover the household’s handover. At launch, the family members, executor, or healthcare proxy you invite will join as free, view-only Trusted Contacts — an account type in development for alpha.

Free, forever

Trusted Contacts won’t pay. No per-seat fees, no “family plan” upsell — inviting the people who’d need your documents will cost nothing.

View-only, by design

Trusted Contacts will see what you choose to share. They won’t be able to upload, edit, delete, or download behind your back — you stay in control of your own vault.

Invitation-only

Nobody will get access you didn’t grant. You’ll invite each Trusted Contact explicitly and set what they can see — and you’ll be able to revoke access at any time.

Fair pushback

Two good objections, answered honestly

“Why not a free Drive folder and a fireproof safe?”

Honestly: it’s a good start, and far better than nothing. But both fail the same way — discovery. The family that needs the folder has to know it exists, where it lives, what the password is, and whether it’s current, usually in the worst week of their lives.

Trusted Directive is built around the handover: Gap Discovery shows what’s missing while you’re here, and the Verify-Silence Release Protocol we’re building for alpha is designed to let your people in when you can’t answer. A safe can’t notice a gap, and it doesn’t open the door by itself.

“I was told I only need a few cheap documents”

You may have seen the advice that a few inexpensive documents cover most estates — and for some situations, that’s fair advice. Trusted Directive isn’t a substitute for those documents and doesn’t draft them.

It solves the problem that arrives after the drafting is done: whether your family can find the documents, whether anything is missing or expired, and whether the right person can reach them in an emergency. $120 protects the paperwork you already invested in — however little or much it cost.

Pricing questions, answered plainly

What does Trusted Directive cost after the first year?

$60 a year. Year one is $120; every year after that is $60. We put the renewal price at the top of this page — at the same size as the first-year price — because surprise renewal charges are how this category loses people’s trust.

When does billing actually start?

Day 31. Your first 30 days are free, starting at account creation. If Trusted Directive isn’t right for you, cancel inside the trial and you pay nothing.

What happens to my documents if I cancel?

They are never held hostage and never deleted on cancellation — that is our commitment. One-click export of everything, any time, is in development for alpha; we will walk you through the current state in the demo. Your vault contents belong to you, not to us.

Is the Trusted Contact account really free?

That is the plan. Free view-only Trusted Contact accounts are in development for alpha: at launch, the Trusted Contacts you invite will see what you choose to share; they won’t be able to upload, edit, delete, or download behind your back, and they will never pay anything.

Are there hidden fees or a premium tier?

No. One plan: $120 year one, $60 a year after. Documents are automatically classified into 18 categories today; the Verify-Silence Release Protocol, the Emergency Medical Packet, gap alerts, and free Trusted Contact accounts are in development for alpha and included at launch — there’s no upgrade tier holding the important parts back.

Does my advisor or attorney pay anything — or see my documents?

Professionals join free and see document metadata only — categories, dates, and gap signals — never document content. Financial advisors earn a commission on client subscriptions; estate attorneys receive practice intelligence reporting instead, because bar ethics rules prohibit referral fees.

More questions — emergency access, privacy, who can see what — are answered in the full FAQ.
