SwiftWill publishes this comparison and sells one of the two services. How the comparison was researched, and its limits.

Is TenMinuteWill cheaper than SwiftWill?

No. TenMinuteWill’s price list showed £80 for a single will and £120 for a pair of mirror wills when checked on 22 October 2026, including its check of the documents first bought. SwiftWill charges £35 and £55 and has no individual check, so the gap reflects a different service as well as a different price.

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, wills drafted over the phone from £160, 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, which resets the 60 days. 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 £45 to print and bind a single will and £50 a year to store one, with the second year free and a £50 fee to retrieve it. 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.

Who might each option suit?

TenMinuteWill may suit you if you want a qualified will writer to check the will and confirm from a scan that it was signed correctly, or need a protective property trust or discretionary trust will, which SwiftWill does not prepare.
SwiftWill may suit a straightforward will where the price matters more than a personal check, with no time limit on regenerating it for the same people.
