What's different — the honest comparison
The two services are very similar in legal terms. The differences are commercial:
- Price. ClearLegacy is 30–40% cheaper across both single and mirror wills. We don't include a phone call in the base price, which is most of the cost difference.
- Phone consultation. Farewill includes a 30-minute phone call with a will-writer; ClearLegacy is online-only with email contact if needed. If you want hand-holding, Farewill suits you. If you don't, ClearLegacy is significantly cheaper.
- Turnaround. ClearLegacy aims for 24 hours; Farewill typically takes 5 working days because the phone call has to be scheduled.
- Subscription. Farewill has an optional ongoing subscription for unlimited updates. ClearLegacy is one-off only — if you need to rewrite later, you pay the £69 again. No monthly fees ever.
Who should pick Farewill over ClearLegacy
If you genuinely want a phone consultation, prefer voice over text, or feel uncertain about answering the questionnaire on your own, Farewill is a reasonable choice — you're paying about £30 extra for the human contact.
Who should pick ClearLegacy over Farewill
If you're comfortable filling in an online form, want the lowest reviewed price, want the fastest turnaround, and don't want a subscription model — ClearLegacy is the better fit.
Is the legal product really the same?
Yes. Both services produce wills that comply with the Wills Act 1837. Both use professional reviewers. Both produce documents the Probate Registry treats identically. The legal status is indistinguishable — what differs is process, price and turnaround.
