Comparison, 2026
Henedo vs Everplans
Everplans files documents. Henedo encrypts, signs, and releases them. Side-by-side, with updated 2026 pricing and feature coverage.
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, Trusted Delivery, crypto inheritance, and a separately purchased Eternal cloud archive with upload and sealing 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
One editable draft template with location labels and clause defaults. Arrange professional review and signing outside Henedo. Everplans doesn’t build wills at all, you need a separate service like Trust & Will or LegalZoom.
Stronger release mechanism
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
Eternal Vault stores an encrypted cloud archive after you purchase, upload and seal it from your dashboard. 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 Solo is $7.99/month (or $79 billed annually) and includes everything Everplans offers, plus a full will builder, Trusted Delivery (a dead man’s switch), crypto inheritance, and a post-quantum Eternal Vault.
No. Everplans organizes information and documents but does not generate wills. You need a separate service. Henedo includes a will-draft builder with unlimited updates in every paid plan.
Only as unstructured notes. Henedo hands every trusted contact their own decryption key by email the day you name them, and Trusted Delivery controls when it becomes usable.
Everplans uses AES-256 encryption at rest with per-user keys, comparable to bank-grade storage. They do not advertise a zero-knowledge architecture, so 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 shared draft template and turn on Trusted Delivery in under 10 minutes.
Yes. Henedo Household is $12.99/mo for two adults, one pays, the partner joins with a single click. Everplans has no household plan, so a couple buys two seats at $99/year each ($198/year total). Household works out to $129/year for two people, a meaningful saving for households planning together.
