2026 Comparison

Killswitch vs FreeWill

FreeWill is legitimately free. Which is impressive, until you realize it's funded by nonprofits that would very much like you to leave them something in your will.

🤔

How "Free" Works Here

FreeWill is funded by hundreds of nonprofits, including charities, universities, and hospitals, that pay FreeWill to be the platform where you make your will. Why? Because when you're thinking about your legacy, these organizations hope you'll think of them.

There's nothing deceptive about this. FreeWill discloses it. But it does mean the product exists to serve their nonprofit partners' fundraising goals, not purely to serve you.

The Honest Breakdown

FreeWill: What's Actually Good

+ It's genuinely free, with no credit card required
+ Legal documents are solid and valid
+ Charitable giving is a real thing some people want to do
+ Great option if $69 is genuinely a barrier for you
+ Transparent about their nonprofit funding model

FreeWill: What's Actually Not

− The product exists because nonprofits are paying for you to be there
− Charitable giving suggestions are baked in. They're subtle, but present
− Cautious, inoffensive tone. Fine, but not exactly honest about death
− Your attention is the product, not just your will

Killswitch: What's Actually Good

+ You pay $69. That's the entire business model. No hidden sponsors.
+ No charitable giving nudges unless you want to add one yourself
+ Built to make you actually finish a will, not feel good about death
+ Same documents, honest about what they are

Killswitch: What's Actually Not

− Costs $69, which FreeWill does not
− If charitable bequests are important to you, FreeWill makes that easier
− Newer platform with fewer reviews than FreeWill

Who Should Use Which

Use Killswitch if...

→ You want your will to be purely about your family, with no nonprofit agenda
→ $69 is reasonable and you'd rather pay than be the product
→ You want an honest, no-nonsense experience
→ You're not planning to leave anything to a charity (and that's fine)

Use FreeWill if...

→ $69 is genuinely a barrier. A free, valid will beats no will
→ You want to include a charitable gift in your estate plans
→ You support one of their nonprofit partners and that's a nice full-circle thing
→ You just want something legally valid and don't care who funded it

Bottom line: If $69 is a hardship, use FreeWill. A free valid will is infinitely better than no will. If it's not, Killswitch gets you the same result with no nonprofit in the room.

$69. No agenda. Just your will.

You're paying for a will, not funding anyone's legacy giving program. Get it done today for the people you're actually leaving it to.

Start your will - $69

Takes about 30 minutes. Updates always free. Your will, your call.

Your high score on Candy Crush isn't an estate plan, Karen.
