TL;DR

Everplans is a filing cabinet online with checklists. It does not build wills, it does not encrypt end-to-end, and it does not release on inactivity.

Henedo is everything Everplans offers plus a will builder, a dead man’s switch, crypto inheritance, engraved metal keys, and an optional up-to-1,000-year Eternal Vault preserved with post-quantum signatures, for less than the Everplans annual price, per month.

Where Everplans wins

Everplans has been in market longer and offers a curated checklist system that some users find approachable. If you want a checklist-first experience and do not need a will generator or crypto inheritance, Everplans is a reasonable starting point.

Where Henedo wins

Will builder included

State-specific templates, attorney-reviewed. Everplans doesn’t build wills at all, you need a separate service like Trust & Will or LegalZoom.

Stronger dead man’s switch

Everplans has a deputy-triggered flow: a deputy emails the company and you have an owner-set window to respond, after which the deputy unlocks your plan. Henedo runs the inverse — a 5-week warning cascade after 180 days of inactivity, platform-gated release, and a 60-day access window for trusted contacts who already hold their decryption keys. No human in the loop required at trigger time.

Post-quantum Eternal Vault

Seal up to 1,000 years of signed, inheritable legacy. Dual-signed with Ed25519 and ML-DSA-65. Learn more.

Zero-knowledge

Henedo’s server cannot read your documents, even with full admin access. Everplans encrypts at rest but staff can read your data.

1,000-prompt Life Story

Everplans is a checklist for the documents your family needs. Henedo also captures who you were — 1,000 curated prompts across ten dimensions of a life, answered in text, voice, or video, encrypted and inheritable. Learn more

FAQ

Yes. Everplans is $99/year for storage plus basic checklists. Henedo Guardian is $7.99/month ($95/year) and includes everything Everplans offers, plus a full will builder, dead man’s switch, crypto inheritance, engraved metal NFC cards (Legacy), and a post-quantum Eternal Vault.

No. Everplans organizes information and documents but does not generate legal wills. You need a separate service. Henedo includes a state-specific will builder with unlimited updates in every paid plan.

Only as unstructured notes. Henedo handles crypto recovery phrases with split-key delivery (24 characters on an engraved metal card, 20 characters by email) and a dead man’s switch that controls release.

Everplans uses AES-256 encryption at rest with per-user keys, comparable to bank-grade storage. They do not advertise a zero-knowledge architecture — their staff can access your data when needed for support or recovery. Henedo is true zero-knowledge: the decryption keys never leave your device, the server stores only ciphertext, and even an admin with full database access cannot read your content.

Yes. Export your Everplans documents as PDFs and upload them directly into your Henedo vault. You can then generate a fresh will from Henedo’s state templates and set up the dead man’s switch in under 10 minutes.
