SwiftWill publishes this comparison and sells one of the two services. How the comparison was researched, and its limits.
How do the prices compare?
ClearLegacy listed £69 for a single will and £99 for mirror wills when checked on 22 October 2026, and says it is not VAT registered, so those are the totals. SwiftWill charges £35 and £55. Neither sells a subscription, and both publish a fixed price before you start.
How does ClearLegacy check a will?
Its refund policy says every will goes through an automated review against the Wills Act 1837 and is issued once it has passed ClearLegacy’s checks, with the signing-ready PDF usually emailed within 24 hours. For a complex estate its terms describe a discussion draft to take to a solicitor rather than to sign. SwiftWill’s checks are automated too, and it redirects complex circumstances before payment instead of drafting for them.
How do refunds and updates differ?
ClearLegacy does not refund a change of mind once the first draft is sent, refunds in full if a paid will is never delivered and includes one free update; later changes are a full rewrite at the standard price. SwiftWill publishes a 30-day money-back guarantee and free regeneration for the same people using the recovery file. Neither service stores the signed original for you.
Who might each option suit?
- ClearLegacy may suit you if you want a discussion draft to take to a solicitor for a more complex estate, or a will under Northern Ireland law, which its terms also describe.
- SwiftWill costs less at the published prices (£35 against £69 for one will), offers a 30-day money-back guarantee that applies after download and lets you regenerate the will for the same people without a limit on updates. It covers England and Wales only.
