Confinity vs Permanent.

Of every tool we compare ourselves to, Permanent is the one closest to our heart. It's a mission-driven nonprofit; you genuinely own your data; and the one-time-fee-into-an-endowment model is a serious answer to the question every memory service should have to answer, which is what happens when the company is gone. We admire it without reservation, and if pure, durable, you-own-it preservation is what you want, it's excellent and you should use it. Where we differ is texture and shape. Permanent is an archive you deposit into. Upload your photos, documents and audio, and they're kept safely, shareable with family folders. Confinity is an ongoing, warm family experience you live inside: voice-first entries written in your own words, connections that form on their own between the people and places you name, a remembrance layer that's gentle with grief, and an annual cloth-bound Yearbook posted to your door. Both of us believe your memories should outlive any service. Permanent does it through an endowment and your ownership; we do it through export, legacy transfer, and a Trust CIC. We part ways on warmth and on living, multi-person family life. Our values are the same.
