YoursSomeday vs Trustworthy

Compare the decisions, not the checkmarks.

What matters is who needs access, what they need to see, and when. Here is how the two approaches differ.

Primary purpose

TrustworthyThe Family Operating System: an encrypted vault for important family information, with AI answers, guidance and household management.

YoursSomedayPrivate Capsules of specific messages, memories, important information, files and instructions for chosen people.

Sharing while living

TrustworthyFull collaborators can broadly view, edit and manage; Partial access can be limited to categories or items.

YoursSomedayNot a household co-editing workspace. Funeral Planning Capsules can be explicitly shared while living; ordinary post-death release instructions are different.

After-death access

TrustworthyLegacy access gives no ongoing access while the owner is alive. After death and Trustworthy verification, the collaborator can gain full household-account access.

YoursSomedayRecipients receive their authorized Capsules, not general access to the owner’s account. Verification and separate release authorization are required.

Recipient specificity

TrustworthyPartial collaboration allows selective living access; Legacy access is a whole-account model after approval.

YoursSomedayEach Capsule has its own selected recipients and separate release instructions.

Messages & memories

TrustworthyCan organize family information and documents. Its cited pages emphasize a household vault and access rather than recipient-specific message delivery.

YoursSomedayPersonal words, recorded memories and context for particular people are central to the Capsule experience; media availability depends on plan.

Audio & video support

TrustworthySupported-file documentation is oriented to documents and images and does not list common video formats; .mp4, .mov and .wmv appear on its unsupported list.

YoursSomedayYes — plan-dependent audio and video media support in Capsules.

Record directly in the platform

TrustworthyOfficial materials document document and photo capture. Current official materials reviewed do not document native audio/video recording.

YoursSomedayYes — record voice or video directly inside YoursSomeday and add the recording to a Capsule without downloading or uploading a file. The Capsule keeps its own encrypted copy.

Household documents

TrustworthyBroad information organization, reminders and AI-assisted answers and guidance are core to the service.

YoursSomedayImportant information and files can sit alongside personal instructions in Capsules, rather than a shared household operating system.

Collaboration

TrustworthyFull, Partial and Legacy collaborator roles, with storage and permissions varying by plan.

YoursSomedayOwner-prepared private material. Recipients and Trusted Verifiers have different roles; verification does not automatically grant content access.

Release timing

TrustworthyLiving collaboration or verified post-death legacy access. The cited docs do not establish Capsule-style per-message release scheduling.

YoursSomedaySeparate timing/instructions per Capsule. Future dates, birthdays and milestones refer to releases after verified passing and separate authorization, not living scheduled sends.

Death verification

TrustworthyTrustworthy verifies legacy access requests; its process requests proof of identity and a death certificate.

YoursSomedayVerification plus separate authorization; missed check-ins alone never release content. Automated post-death verification and delivery are still being completed and tested during Early Access.

Subscriptions & pricing

TrustworthyFree and paid plans; displayed paid prices are monthly equivalents paid annually. A full-access member can take over the web subscription after the owner’s death; a legacy collaborator must gain verified access first.

YoursSomedayEarly Access requires no payment. Public plan prices and the planned 30-day no-card launch trial are shown below; the launch trial is not active today.
