Prices checked on September 12, 2026 on each company’s own pricing page.

LegalZoom’s own words about its attorney access, read on September 12, 2026: “With our attorney-supported plans, you can access guidance from highly rated, independent attorneys to help you confidently complete your documents.” Its pricing page also states, “Our last wills were drafted by attorneys and they have been accepted in all 50 states.” Myend states coverage across 51 US jurisdictions, but Louisiana is not yet supported for the Last Will, so Louisiana users go on a waitlist. Check your own state’s signing rules on the will requirements hub before you start either one.

What you get with Myend

Free to start, pay when you need the will.

Free to start

Your first directive, your contacts and a 10-document vault, at no cost.

Every directive on Starter

All of them, plus PDF export, for $19 once, no monthly fee.

A Last Will on Complete

$99 once for a state-specific will across 51 US jurisdictions, with Louisiana not yet supported.

Family access after you can't check in

Legacy contacts get in only once your Proof of Life check-ins lapse.

Justine, generous but capped

A guided assistant helps you answer questions, with a monthly allowance after your first free conversation.

How each one gets paid

Two different billing shapes.

Myend has no subscription to join. The Free account carries your first directive, your contacts and a 10-document vault, plus a first conversation with Justine and a small monthly allowance after it. One payment of $19 opens every directive and PDF export, and one payment of $99 opens the Last Will. Renewal is optional: after the first year, $25 a year keeps Proof of Life monitoring, will updates and a fresh Justine allowance running, and stopping it costs you nothing you already made.

LegalZoom charges $129 to $299 once for one person’s will, or $229 to $399 once for two people, split across a Basic, Pro and Premium tier. The Pro tier’s attorney consultation renews at $25 a month once the first 30 days end, and the Premium tier renews at $199 a year once the first year ends, both stated on its own pricing page. LegalZoom’s healthcare directive, the living will, is bundled with the Pro and Premium wills and not with Basic.

Who each one fits

Myend fits someone who would rather write everything first and pay later: healthcare, funeral, donor and obituary wishes on one $19 plan, the will on a second $99 payment, and no renewal unless they want one. It also fits anyone who wants a named legacy contact to reach the plan if their check-ins stop.

LegalZoom fits someone who wants an attorney consultation bundled into a single purchase and does not mind a plan that renews monthly or yearly. It also fits someone who specifically wants a couples will, since Myend has no couples plan.

Questions people ask

Myend and LegalZoom, answered plainly.

What does a LegalZoom will cost next to Myend?

The Basic Will is $129 once and leaves the living will out. The Pro Will is $149 and the Premium Will is $299, both with the healthcare directive inside. Myend asks $19 once for every directive, the healthcare one included, and $99 once for the Last Will, so the order you buy in changes the total.

Does LegalZoom offer attorney support?

Yes. It calls them attorney-supported plans and, in its own words read on September 12, 2026, says you can access guidance from independent attorneys while you complete your documents. Its Pro Will bundles that consultation, which renews at $25 a month once the first 30 days end. Myend sells no attorney access and is not a law firm.

Does either one sell a plan for two people?

LegalZoom prices its Basic, Pro and Premium wills for a couple as well, from $229 to $399 once. Myend has no couples tier at all. Two people open two accounts and each pay the same $19 or $99, which is the number to compare against LegalZoom’s couple price rather than its single one.

Which states does each one cover?

LegalZoom states on its own page that its estate planning documents have been accepted in all 50 states and that attorneys drafted its last wills. Myend states coverage across all 51 US jurisdictions, which counts the District of Columbia, though the Last Will is not yet available in Louisiana and Louisiana users are put on a waitlist.

Who gets my Myend plan if my check-ins stop?

The legacy contact you name, and nobody sooner. Proof of Life asks you to confirm you are fine on your own schedule, missed check-ins bring reminders first, and only after they lapse does that contact receive a free account limited to finalized directives, goodbye messages, your contact list and shared vault items.

Does LegalZoom say what happens to my documents after I die?

It lists secure online document storage inside every tier. What it does not say, on either the pricing page or the will page read on September 12, 2026, is whether an executor or a relative can open that storage after your death, so treat family access there as an open question until they answer it.

Compare the numbers, then start free.

Writing costs nothing: your first directive, your contacts and a 10-document vault. Pay $19 once when you want every directive and PDF export, $99 once when you want the Last Will.
