## Is TenMinuteWill cheaper than SwiftWill?

No. TenMinuteWill lists a single will at £49.99 plus VAT and a pair of mirror wills at £74.99 plus VAT. With VAT at 20% that comes to £59.99 and £89.99, against SwiftWill’s £35 and £55. Its price list says VAT is itemised and added before payment, so check the total at checkout.

## What does TenMinuteWill offer that SwiftWill does not?

A professionally qualified will writer checks each will after purchase, normally emailing within a few hours, and will confirm from a scan that the signed will was executed correctly. It also sells protective property trust and discretionary trust wills, drafting over the phone from £100 plus VAT, printing and storage. SwiftWill has no individual check and no trust wills; it directs those circumstances to professional advice before payment.

## How do updates and cancellation differ?

TenMinuteWill includes unlimited free re-writes for 60 days, then 20% off a new document. SwiftWill has no time limit for regenerating a will for the same people with the recovery file. Under TenMinuteWill’s terms the 14-day right to cancel ends once you choose to generate your documents, although it offers a full refund if a legal error is its fault; SwiftWill publishes a 30-day money-back guarantee.

## What do storage and printing cost?

TenMinuteWill charges £33.32 plus VAT to print and bind a single will and £41.65 plus VAT a year to store one, with the second year free and a retrieval fee. SwiftWill offers neither: you print the PDF and store the signed original yourself. GOV.UK lets anyone deposit a will with HM Courts and Tribunals Service for a one-off £24 fee.

## What does SwiftWill provide?

A guided interview, document preview, automated validation, downloadable PDFs and signing instructions. There is no annual update fee: regeneration for the same people uses a private recovery file and matching paid order. The £55 pair shares instructions; choose separate wills if your wishes differ. This does not include individual solicitor advice or review, and SwiftWill’s suitability questions send people with trusts, business or overseas assets, a likely dispute or capacity concerns to [professional advice](https://swiftwill.co.uk/do-i-need-a-solicitor-for-a-will/) before payment.

## How should you choose?

If you want someone qualified to check your individual document, choose a service that explicitly includes that, and ask what the check covers. If your circumstances involve trusts, overseas assets, a business or difficult family arrangements, obtain advice before choosing a template: our guide to [online wills and solicitors](https://swiftwill.co.uk/online-will-vs-solicitor/) sets out which situations need which. If price is the deciding factor, the [cheapest online will comparison](https://swiftwill.co.uk/cheapest-online-will/) lists every service we checked, including free routes.
