YouDeparted announces a free* account and 14-day trials for premium plans!

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

We just rolled out a free* “Mini” accounts and 14-day free trials on all premium accounts so now you can try YouDeparted completely risk free. Check out the new accounts here. We also streamlined the sign up process so now you can literally get a YouDeparted account in mere seconds rather than minutes. We hope you like the updates!

Given that we are offering a very unique service, we want to let people take a thorough look first to try it out. With the Mini account, you can store a small number of entries and up to 1MB of space, and specify who will receive your entries if something happens to you. With the premium accounts you can store from 100 to unlimited entries and up to 5GB of pictures, movies, documents, audio, and other files. Our pricing is very competitive with many of the top online storage providers with the added benefit that we are more secure and that your account can be unlocked if something happens to you. With all accounts, you can specify which of your Recipients will receive each piece of information.

Again, we hope the updates come as welcome news, and we always appreciate any feedback or comments!

*The account is free for 90 days. At any time you can upgrade into our basic account and all your information will be transferred.

Upgraded storage space, new pricing, and the rationale behind the changes.

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

Hello everyone, we’ll get back to covering the usual topics of this blog, but right now we have some important news about our service:

As stated in the last post, we have increased the total secure online storage space that comes with each account. You can now upload from one to five gigabytes depending on the type of membership you have.

We have also changed our annual pricing in order to ensure YouDeparted’s continued quality and security far into the future. Current members will not be affected by the price change until their renewal date.

Our introductory pricing of $9.95/yr for an account with 20mb of space is now $29.95/yr and comes with 1GB.  An account with 2GB is now $39.95/yr and 5GB is now $59.95/yr.

More about the pricing change:
We want the best for you, our customers, and you are buying the YouDeparted service to organize and store vital information which is passed on if something happens to you. You truly rely on our service to do take care of very important matters. In order to ensure that we can offer you the best customer service, security, and product, it is necessary for us to have the resources to do so far into the future. Our pricing change provides those resources.

When you think about it, our pricing is quite a bargain for what you get:
A service that passes on information that will truly help your family if something happens to you.
The ability to create and store an unlimited number of entries and messages for family and friends.
An utterly secure, encrypted, electronic safe deposit box with enough storage space to keep thousands of documents, pictures, movies, audio and more.
A service that helps you get your own life organized.
A service you can use while traveling to keep backups of essentials like your passport, credit cards, itineraries, visas, and travel documents.
Peace of mind because you will know that if something happens to you, your family will have everything they need.
