If Plus isn't for you, everything you made stays yours and readable. Nothing is ever deleted or held back.
Early-access families get Plus at $79/year, locked in for as long as you keep it — a standing thank-you, not a limited-time deal. It will still be here whenever you're ready.
Fair questions
Why isn't everything free?
Someone has to pay for this to exist, and we've ruled out the usual ways: we will never sell your information, and we will never run ads against your grief. A clear, honest subscription for the extra room is the only model that keeps Handhold answerable to you alone. The emotional support stays free, always.
What happens to our stuff if we stop paying?
Nothing is deleted and nothing is locked away from viewing. Everything you've put into Handhold — your notes, your contacts, your family's work — stays yours and readable. You lose the extra room, not your family's information.
Is it really one price for the whole family?
Yes. Caregiving is a family act, so Plus covers your whole care circle — siblings, spouses, the cousin who handles the money. One subscription, everyone in.
How does this compare to hiring help?
A geriatric care manager typically bills more per hour than Handhold Plus costs per month. Handhold doesn't replace professionals — it gets you ready for them, and handles the in-between work so their time (and yours) goes further.
Will you show me ads or sell my data?
No, and no — permanently. It's not a settings toggle; it's how the company is built. If an email or a screen from us ever feels like a funnel, tell us and we'll fix it.
