One price for the vault. Watching the door costs money to run every year, so that part is a small plan you can add or drop.
No yearly fee. All three chapters, Whereabouts, up to five keyholders, 2 GB of photos, recordings and documents, a full export any time and the Paper Edition as a PDF.
Buy the vaultIf you go quiet for six months, we check in and then ask your keyholders to check on you. Plus 10 GB of room instead of 2 GB.
Add KeeperSix vaults, each private to its owner. Both parents, you, the kids, the in-laws. The adult child who organises everyone usually buys this one.
Buy six vaultsYour passphrase never leaves your hands. A break-in at our end hands a thief locked boxes and nothing to open them with.
No ad pixels and no analytics. You're welcome to check this page.
A full export any time, unlocked, with a readable copy of the whole vault. Keep it with the will.
Picture the Sunday after. Your daughter reads your note before she rings anyone. Your grandson gets the watch, and the story that goes with it.
Prices in Australian dollars, GST included where it applies. 30-day change-of-mind refund on the vault and Family. The Paper Edition and the Fridge Card are sold on their own at any time. Nothing lapses when someone dies.
It works alongside your will and your password manager. It doesn't replace either.
| Instead of | Good for | Where it falls short |
|---|---|---|
| A paper folder | Easy to start, and it's on the shelf. | Lost in a move, a fire or a clean-out. Everyone who opens it sees everything. |
| Your will | Says who inherits your estate. It's legally binding. | Spare Key doesn't replace it. It records where the will is and the things a will doesn't cover. |
| Google Drive or iCloud | Stores files. | Doesn't decide who sees which file, or when. After you've gone it's often locked or wide open. |
| A password manager | Keeps passwords safe, and some have emergency access. | Holds passwords, not your wishes, letters or where the good tools are. Use both. |
| The family group chat | Quick, and everyone's in it. | Nothing private, nothing kept in order, and the important bit scrolls away. |
No. Everything is locked on your own phone or laptop before it reaches us. Until your keyholders hand over their pieces of the key after the waiting time, nobody can read a word, us included.
Cloud storage keeps files. It doesn't decide who gets which one, or when. Put everything in a shared folder and either nobody can get in after you've gone or everyone sees everything. Spare Key keeps each note for the person it's written to and holds it until your keyholders say it's time, with 7 or 14 days for you to say no. It also walks you through what to write down, which a blank folder never will.
No. Spare Key keeps a copy of your will and says where the signed original is. Your will still needs to be made and signed the proper way, usually with a solicitor.
When you open your vault you print a recovery sheet. The code on it lets you set a new passphrase. Keep it with your will. Without the passphrase or the sheet, the vault stays shut.
No. The vault is $199 once, with no yearly fee. Keeper adds the silence check, where your keyholders are asked to check on you if you go quiet for six months, and 10 GB of storage instead of 2 GB.
You choose who each note is for and when it opens. Your keyholders, up to five of them, can ask for your notes to open. You're told straight away and have 7 or 14 days to say no with one tap.
Yes, any time. One button downloads every note, photo and recording, unlocked, plus a readable copy of the whole vault.
Yes. Buy the vault and send them the sign-up link from your receipt page. They open it with their own passphrase, and you never see inside.
Yes. $199 opens your vault with no yearly fee, for as long as Spare Key runs. It includes 2 GB of room. Keeper is optional, at $49 a year, if you'd like check-ins and 10 GB.
We'd email every account holder at least 90 days before and keep exports working until then. You can download everything, unlocked, at any time anyway. Keep a copy with your will, the same way you'd keep a copy of anything that matters.
You get six sign-up links. Each one opens a separate private vault with its own passphrase and its own 2 GB, and nobody can see into anyone else's. Send them to anyone you like, whenever you like. Unused links don't expire, and Keeper can be added to any vault on its own.
Yes. Email us within 30 days of buying the vault or Family and we'll refund you in full. Download anything you want to keep first, because we close the vault when we refund it.
Keep passwords in a password manager. Use Spare Key to say which one you use and how your executor gets in. Most have an emergency access setting made for this. Spare Key is for the map, not the keys to every account.
To print your book, you send us a copy of your vault as a PDF. That copy is readable by us and our printer, and we delete it once your book is posted. If you'd rather nobody sees it, print the same PDF at home for free. It never leaves your browser.
$199 once. No subscription, and a 30-day change-of-mind refund. Add Keeper for $49 a year for check-ins and more room.
Giving it? Buy it, then send them the sign-up link from your receipt page. They open it, and you never see inside. Already have one? Sign in.
