Managing your family's information can be overwhelming. Families often need secure access to critical documents, such as:

• Insurance ID cards during an optometrist appointment.

• Advance directives in a medical emergency.

• Notification of expiration dates for passports. 

That's why companies like Trustworthy and Everplans have developed digital platforms to simplify this process. With numerous digital storage options available, it’s crucial to compare them before investing your time and money.

In this article, we’ll compare Trustworthy and Everplans to help you determine which platform suits your needs best.

What Is Trustworthy?

The Trustworthy Family Operating System® helps you securely organize, store, and share your important family information. It offers customizable templates and categories to make organization easy, intelligent reminders to help avoid missed deadlines, and optional one-on-one expert service for onboarding and continued support.

What Is Everplans?

Everplans is another platform that helps organize important information, such as legal and insurance documents. It provides step-by-step guidance, secure storage, and sharing options for loved ones and advisors.

Trustworthy: A Range of Plans, from Basic to High-Touch

Convenience

Trustworthy is known for its convenience. If you forget a medical ID card, you can easily access it through the Trustworthy app or share it via secure links.

Secure links provide view-only access to specific files from your Trustworthy account. You can share these links with anyone and set time limits for access. You’ll be notified when your files have been viewed or when the link expires, and you can revoke access at any time.

This convenience is invaluable in unexpected situations where others need immediate access to specific documents. Using secure links instead of unsecured channels like email significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access to your information.

Adding information to Trustworthy is also straightforward. Its intelligent mobile document scanner captures and auto-fills information for you, streamlining the process. Trustworthy even sets automated reminders to renew important documents and change passwords, ensuring you never forget crucial tasks.

Premium Customer Support

Trustworthy offers four paid plans, each providing varying levels of customer support. The basic Silver bundle is ideal for those who prefer a DIY approach and need only email and chat support. The popular Gold bundle is designed for families with business interests and those who want phone support.

The higher-tier Platinum and Diamond bundles include all Gold features plus three to six hours of professional service from a Trustworthy Certified Expert™ to help families get set up on Trustworthy and to provide continuing guidance.

You can try Trustworthy for free for two weeks, without a credit card.

Security

All plans in the Trustworthy Family Operating System® include bank-level security with 256-bit encryption. Other features like two-factor authentication, hardware keys, and biometric authentication all act as a step up for your family’s information security. Trustworthy meets or exceeds industry security standards.

Everplans: Tailored for More Basic Service

Like Trustworthy, Everplans offers encrypted, bank-level security, two-factor authentication, and an online platform for organizing and managing family information. However, it does not offer the added security of tokenization.

Everplans recently introduced a mobile app, but its platform's customer support is limited to email only, with no phone or text options. Additionally, onboarding and organization are self-serve, with no equivalent to Trustworthy's expert support. Everplans may appeal to those looking to spend a little less and who are comfortable with minimal features and limited support. There is no first responder discount.

Trustworthy vs. Everplans Comparison 

Both platforms offer solutions for information organization, but Trustworthy provides more comprehensive features, including options for passwords, business management, and emergency contacts, in addition to family IDs, money, property, and other categories.

To streamline onboarding, Trustworthy offers self-service options like Everplans but also includes personalized tools, guided workflows, and APR integration, which Everplans lacks. Trustworthy also has SecureLink™ sharing and collaborator features, setting it apart from Everplans.
