HelloPrenup Pricing and What It Includes

HelloPrenup offers a relatively low entry price for a prenup, advertising their flat-fee template starting at $599 per couple. The process is digital, self-guided, and completed entirely online.

Users can optionally hire a prenup lawyer after drafting for consultations or sign-off. However, legal guidance isn’t included by default, which means the core product is still a DIY-focused template without legal review.

Add-on legal options are offered:

  • $50 for e-signing and notarization
  • $49 for a 20-minute Q&A session with a licensed attorney
  • $699 per partner for full attorney review and signature, capped at one hour

Where HelloPrenup Falls Short: Gaps in Cost and Confidence

While the HelloPrenup pricing seems attractive at first glance, its value proposition doesn’t hold up for many couples, especially those navigating complexity, emotional sensitivity, or blended financial lives.

Here’s where HelloPrenup often falls short:

1. Lawyer Optional, Even When Required

Many prenuptial agreements are later deemed unenforceable by courts because both spouses did not receive independent legal counsel during the process. While HelloPrenup gives you that option to have legal counsel for an additional fee, it’s not built into the core $599 package and only covers one hour of review.

2. Limited Emotional and Communication Support

The platform doesn’t guide couples through values-based or emotional conversations that go beyond standard fill-in-the-blank forms. This can lead to the prenup process feeling hostile or confrontational when it can instead be a moment of alignment.

3. Surface-level Customization

Some users report missing nuance in financial questions. These end up needing lawyers afterward to patch or revise clauses, which may be overlooked given the limited review time offered in HelloPrenup's optional legal counsel.

4. Enforceability Concerns

Prenups without independent legal review are at greater risk of being challenged in court, with may state judges outright refusing a prenup without said review.

The bottom line is you may end up paying more both financially and emotionally if your low-cost prenup doesn’t hold up in the future or causes friction during the process.

How Neptune Pricing Offers Better Value

Neptune, a first-of-its-kind financial concierge, combines the affordability of modern tech with the trust and nuance of working with expert legal professionals.

Here’s how Neptune delivers better value:

1. Emotionally Intelligent AI That Prepares You Better

Neptune starts the process with a free, emotionally intelligent AI assistant that helps couples clarify values, expectations, and goals before legal drafting begins. This early alignment creates more meaningful, personalized prenups and lets lawyers hit the ground running after a free consultation.

  • Outcome: Couples feel confident, prepared, and heard.
  • Fact: 95% of Neptune users report feeling more aligned and respected after using the platform.

2. Flat-Fee Pricing, No Surprise Costs

Unlike traditional lawyers who bill by the hour, the lawyers Neptune connects couples with offer transparent, flat-fee pricing. You know precisely what you’re paying for, from drafting to negotiation, without worrying about running up the clock.

With Neptune, you avoid:

  • Surprise charges for calls or revisions
  • Paying separately for lawyers and platform access
  • High retainers or unclear invoice breakdowns

These lawyers also offer a free consultation before you retain their services, something that HelloPrenup does not offer (opting instead to offer a free walkthrough of their template with no legal oversight.)

3. Vetted Legal Experts, Matched to You

While HelloPrenup requires you to find your own legal review if needed, Neptune takes care of that for you. It connects you with vetted attorneys who are selected for their expertise, values, and knowledge of your state’s laws.

  • Curated legal experts matched to your needs
  • No cold calls, no Googling, no guesswork
  • 95% of Neptune couples would recommend the attorney they worked with

This combination of preparation and expert legal support means your agreement is more likely to hold up in court and be truly fair to both parties.

Final Verdict: Value Goes Beyond Price

HelloPrenup’s $599 cost is attractive, but when you consider lawyer add-ons, time spent fixing clauses, and emotional readiness, the total investment often increases beyond the initial price tag.

Couples with simple assets to protect that are willing to risk future legal complications over an unreviewed prenup can find value in HelloPrenup's template.

Neptune offers a deeper, more holistic value, with:

  • Peace of mind: Lawyers are included and vetted.
  • Emotional alignment: AI-guided prep leads to better agreements.
  • No surprises: Flat-fee lawyer pricing means no unexpected bills.
  • Tailored results: Agreements reflect your goals, not template checkboxes.
  • Greater Enforceability: Lawyer review strengthens prenup compared to unreviewed template.
