General

What is the difference between the Free, Premium, and Lifetime plans?

Free ($0): 25 contacts, 20 Memorial Wall photos, Simple obituary only, no eulogy. Premium ($9.99/year): 1,000 contacts, 200 photos, full AI-assisted obituary and eulogy. Lifetime ($79.95, one time): everything in Premium, plus the delegate activation fee is already included.

How much information do I have to enter for Youllogy to create my obituary and eulogy?

As little or as much as you want. The more information you enter, the more accurately Youllogy's AI can draft your obituary and eulogy.

Can my friends see my Memorial Wall or eulogy before I pass?

You can share your Memorial Wall with any of your contacts at any time. Your obituary and eulogy only become available for viewing after you pass.

Does Youllogy sell my information?

No. Youllogy will never share or sell your information.

Can someone purchase a gift card for me, or can I buy one for someone else?

Yes, either direction - use the Gift Card button on the home screen. You can buy an individual year ($9.99), multiple years ($9.99 x number of years), or Lifetime ($79.95).

Can someone else access my information?

No - only if you share your own login credentials with them. Delegates only gain access after you've passed and the death notice has been activated.

Can I delete my account?

Yes, from Settings - you'll confirm by email before it's final. This permanently deletes your obituary, Memorial Wall (including photos), contacts, and delegates; it does not delete your billing/payment history, which is retained for accounting purposes. No refund is given for early cancellation. Your delegate can only delete your account after you've passed.

Contacts

How many contacts can I have?

Up to 25 on the Free plan, or 1,000 on Premium or Lifetime. You can also import contacts from a CSV file.

What happens if I select 'Send "I am using Youllogy" notification' for a contact?

That contact gets an email within 24 hours letting them know you're using Youllogy and have added them to your contacts - just a notification, with no personal information shared beyond your name.

What is "Personal Message"?

An optional message you write for one specific contact, sent to them only at the time of your passing.

Do I need a phone number for every contact?

No - only for the contacts you select as delegates.

Can I make a contact a delegate later, or edit a contact after adding them?

Yes to both. Edit the contact at any time; to add them as a delegate, check the Delegate box and add their phone number, then save.

Delegates

Why do I need a delegate?

A delegate is the person you appoint to activate your account when you pass, using credentials sent to them when they accept the role. Without at least one delegate, no one can activate your death notice or access your obituary, eulogy, and Memorial Wall.

How does a delegate accept the role?

Once you confirm they're 18 or older and click Send, they're invited by email to accept. The status next to their name changes from Pending to Active once they accept - you don't have an active delegate until at least one has.

What happens when a delegate "activates" my account?

It means they're indicating you've passed and your contacts should be notified. You'll be notified immediately and have 24 hours to cancel the notification if it was sent by accident or without cause - after that, delegates are informed the system is ready to send.

Can I have more than one delegate?

Yes, as many as you want - though we recommend not too many, to avoid confusion about who's responsible. If you have multiple, consider naming one as your primary and letting them know.

Can I remove or reassign a delegate?

Yes, at any time from the Delegates page. Removing someone only deselects their delegate role - it doesn't remove them from your contacts. You can re-invite them (or anyone else) as a delegate later.

What if a delegate declines, or loses their credentials?

A decline shows next to their name in your contact list, and you'll need at least one other active delegate. If a delegate loses their credentials while you're still alive, remove and re-invite them to get a fresh set - for security, lost credentials can't be recovered after you've passed.

Obituary & Eulogy

What is the difference between Essential, Complete, and Eulogy?

Essential is a short death notice - a few sentences with name, spouse, children, and service details, like a message you'd send to contacts. Complete is a full obituary - a rich, AI-assisted narrative drawing on your life story, education, military service, hobbies, and community, in a Traditional, Religious, or Modern tone. Eulogy builds on everything in your Complete Obituary, plus any additional anecdotes you add, in a narrative-first layout of 1, 2, or 4 pages, in a Traditional or Humorous tone.

Why can't I select both Essential and Complete?

Essential is simply a shorter version of Complete, so there's no need for both.

Do I have to re-enter information for the Complete Obituary and Eulogy?

No - they reuse everything you already entered for the Essential Obituary.

How do I have Youllogy draft my obituary or eulogy?

Once you've entered your information, click Draft with AI, then Draft My Obituary (or Draft My Eulogy). Review the result and click Use This to keep it, Edit to adjust it yourself, or Generate New Version to try again.

I made changes, but when I went back in they'd disappeared.

Make sure you click Save after filling in or modifying a page - changes aren't kept automatically.

Can I preview my obituary or eulogy?

Yes, at any time using the Preview button on that page.

I'm being asked to pay to access my Complete Obituary or Eulogy - why?

Those are Premium features, available with the Premium or Lifetime plan.

Memorial Wall

How many pictures can I add to my Memorial Wall?

Up to 25 on the Free plan, or 1,000 on Premium or Lifetime.

Can I edit photos after adding them?

Yes - you can crop (horizontally or vertically) and zoom from Edit Memorial Wall.

Can I rearrange photos or change the slideshow timing?

Yes to both - reorder photos any time, and choose 5, 10, or 15 seconds per slide in Edit Memorial Wall.

Can I add an audio message to a photo?

Yes, a different message for each photo. If the audio runs longer than the slide's display time, that photo stays on screen until the audio finishes.

Only the first picture played when I tried the slideshow - why?

Make sure you click the Play (triangle) icon at the bottom left of the screen to start it.

Pricing

Will I be notified before my renewal payment is due?

Yes - you'll get an email one month before your renewal, with instructions to log in and pay.

Is my credit card stored, or charged automatically?

No to both. We don't store your card number, and we never charge it without your authorization.

Can I pay for multiple years at once?

Yes - choose 1 to 6 years, or select the Lifetime plan for $79.95.

If I switch to Lifetime after already paying for a year or more, do I still pay full price?

No - what you've already paid is credited toward the Lifetime fee. After 3 years of payments, the upgrade is a flat $49.
