EchoKindred is a private family archive for the accounts, the will, who to call first, and the stories behind it all. Every plan includes the stories, the map, and free family access; the differences are storage, monthly conversations, and how you pay. If a plan lapses, the archive stays readable.
Start free for 14 days on Monthly or Annual. Lifetime tiers are one-time purchase (Buy now).
If it's not for your family, we refund it in full within 30 days of your first payment. Refund terms
Archive stays readable if you pause
If your subscription lapses, the archive does not disappear. It stays intact and visible in read-only mode. Resume editing with a one-day editing pass ($4.99 one-time, 24 hours of editing) or by re-subscribing.
Core tiers
Monthly and Annual are subscriptions. Family Continuity and Archival Heirloom are one-time payments for lifetime access. All tiers include Archive stays readable if you pause. Standalone add-ons stack below.
One afternoon of talking now, versus the months your family would spend piecing it together.
Why it costs more than a simple ledger app:
A simple ledger app like MyLifeLedger runs about $49 a year (checked November 2026). EchoKindred adds the check-in before your family gets access, the first-week checklist they open on the day, and the Biographer that keeps the stories. See the side-by-side

Common questions
If it's not for your family, we refund it in full within 30 days of your first payment. Email support@echokindred.com within 30 days of your first payment; no reason needed. This covers your first purchase of any plan, including Lifetime. The paid plan ends, nothing you saved is deleted, and you can still download a copy. Full terms are in Section 6 of our Terms of Service.
Everything: the Biographer, your accounts and documents, family access, and security. No credit card required. Choose a paid tier when you are ready to continue. After the trial ends, if you do not log in for 30 days we may permanently delete the unused account and its data so storage stays fair for active families. Paid and Lifetime seats are never removed under that rule.
Lifetime and Heirloom keep a perpetual access promise. We never delete those archives for inactivity. After three years with no login, we may hibernate the archive in cold storage. The next login wakes it. Large media may take a short restore. That keeps the promise without paying hot-storage rates forever on dark seats.
You pay at checkout. The gifted term starts when the recipient first logs in and activates the Legacy Key, not on the purchase date.
EchoKindred complements your lawyer, not replaces them. For $199/year at the founder's rate (less than 15 minutes of lawyer time), you get an always-accessible vault your executor can use when the Continuity Protocol releases access. Your lawyer handles the legal documents; EchoKindred handles the digital chaos they can't: where accounts live, who to call, and the practical "how-to" your family needs on day one. Keep full passwords in a password manager; file locators here.
The household operating manual most estate and story tools skip: bills, appliance quirks, who to call, how things actually run at home. EchoKindred keeps that practical knowledge alongside your vault and stories, so your family is not guessing on day one.
If you miss a payment or pause for financial hardship, your archive moves to read-only mode. Every story, photo, and vault record stays visible. Resume writing with a one-day editing pass ($4.99 one-time, 24 hours of editing) or when you re-subscribe. We preserve read-only archives indefinitely, but reserve the right to archive or remove data from accounts inactive for 7+ years without any login or payment activity.
Monthly Premium is $19/mo, locked in for as long as you stay (normally $24), with 30 Biographer conversations a month and 5GB storage. Annual Legacy is $199/yr (normally $249) with 30 Biographer conversations a month, 15GB storage, and premium voice included. Each time you talk and the Biographer organizes it counts as one. You can always browse and read your archive. Both include Archive stays readable if you pause.
Family Continuity ($699, Founder's coupon $549) includes 50 Biographer conversations a month, 50GB storage, access for several generations of heirs, and a second login for your spouse. Archival Heirloom ($999, Founder's coupon $799) includes 50 Biographer conversations a month, 100GB storage, and the full digital book. No physical USB or print keepsake is included in either lifetime price. Print may become available to heirs after the story is closed via the digital book QR. Both one-time tiers offer flexible payment with Buy Now, Pay Later options (Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay).
Yes. Standalone add-ons like Spouse Account Link, Premium Audio Booster, storage blocks, and physical keepsakes stack on any active tier. Manage them in Settings after checkout.
AES-256 encryption at rest for sensitive vault fields, TLS in transit, signed preview links for private media, and strict access controls. Download my data in Settings gives you a readable copy of your stories, wisdom, instructions, accounts list (no passwords), and records any time. Photos and documents download individually; a bundled media export is not built yet.
Storage limits vary by tier (5GB to 100GB). Audio and video count toward your total storage. Need more? Add a 50GB Vault Storage Block for $5 / month per block in Settings.
You set an inactivity window. If we don't hear from you, we email a check-in reminder first: one click resets the clock. If we still don't hear from you when the full window passes, we notify your designated Digital Executor. Your executor then submits a request through the Executor Portal, which requires its own identity verification before any access is granted. Nothing releases automatically: a real person has to request it, and prove who they are, first.
