The Honest Breakdown

LegalZoom: What's Actually Good

+ Been around since 2001, with an established track record
+ Attorney access if you need hand-holding
+ Business formation products if you also need an LLC
+ 2.1 million estate planning customers (the documents work)

LegalZoom: What's Actually Not

− The price keeps climbing as they add features to upsell you
− Publicly traded, so their shareholders come before your experience
− Corporate, sterile tone that feels like filling out a government form
− $249 for a premium will is hard to justify when $69 gets the job done

Killswitch: What's Actually Good

+ $69. That's it. That's the whole pricing section.
+ No subscription, no annual fees, no "would you like to upgrade?"
+ Built for people who aren't estate planning nerds
+ Legally valid in all 50 states
+ Done in under 30 minutes, like LegalZoom, for less than half the price

Killswitch: What's Actually Not

− No attorney review option (use a real lawyer if your estate is complex)
− No business formation products
− We're newer. LegalZoom has 20+ years on us

Who Should Use Which

Use Killswitch if...

→ You want a will done today for $69
→ You don't have a complex estate (most people don't)
→ You're tired of companies treating "simple" as a reason to charge more
→ You'd rather spend the $60 you save on literally anything else

Use LegalZoom if...

→ You need attorney access bundled in
→ You're also forming a business and want everything in one place
→ Brand recognition matters more to you than price
→ You enjoy being asked if you'd like to upgrade every 3 screens

$69. No upsells. Legally valid.

You've read the comparison. The math isn't complicated. Get your will done today before you find another reason to put it off.

Start your will - $69

Takes about 30 minutes. No lawyers required. No upsells, we promise.

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