We would rather you chose the right service than the wrong one in a hurry — so these comparisons include the cases where a competitor is the better buy. All figures were checked in August 2026 and include GST.

Competitor prices were checked in August 2026 from each provider's public pricing page. Prices change — confirm current figures with the provider before relying on this table.
If price is the only thing that matters, a free service will beat us. Gathered Here is genuinely free and produces a valid will. It funds itself through referrals to funeral and legal partners, which is a fair trade — just know that is the model.
eQUILL is the cheapest paid, solicitor-reviewed will we are aware of at $139 once, and the only one of these with no subscription option at all. We are not the cheapest service overall, and we do not claim to be.
Whichever provider you choose, the will only becomes valid when you print it and sign it in front of two witnesses who are present at the same time. This is the step most homemade wills fail. No online service, including ours, can do it for you.
