No card required, and your free build never expires. - Public plans: Free, Legacy at $14.99/month, Eternal at $29.99/month.

Afterlife.ai® is a consent-first digital legacy platform. While you are alive you build a living AI Persona that preserves your stories, voice and values, so the people you love can still talk with your Persona after you are gone. Nothing is created without your explicit consent. ### How much does Afterlife.ai® cost? Building is free: a one-time build budget of 50 memories, no card required, and your free build never expires. Paid plans are Legacy at $14.99 per month and Eternal at $29.99 per month. Your family inherits the time you have paid for. ### What is Executor Lock®? Executor Lock® locks your Persona at verified death as a perfect snapshot. After the lock nobody can edit, retrain or impersonate you, so your family always meets the exact Persona you approved while you were alive. ### Does Afterlife.ai® clone my voice without permission? No. Voice preservation on Afterlife.ai® is consent-based: you record your own voice while you are alive, and your consent explicitly covers playback for your family after death. Your voice is locked at Executor Lock® and never changed after that. ### Where is my data stored? Afterlife.ai® is an Australian company and your data is hosted and stored in Australia, where voice recordings and personal memories are protected as sensitive information under Australian privacy law. You keep deletion rights at all times. ### Is the Afterlife.ai® free tier a trial? No. The free tier is a one-time build budget of 50 memories, not a countdown. It never expires, and your Trusted Contact and Executor Lock® setup stay free. ### What happens to my Persona when I die? Your nominated Trusted Contact confirms your death, Executor Lock® engages, and your Persona is locked exactly as you approved. Your family can then talk with your Persona under the release rules you chose while you were alive. ## Product & services - [Who Owns My Voice Clone?](https://www.afterlife.ai/who-owns-your-voice-clone): Who owns my voice clone?
