About
PrenupDesk exists because we could not get a straight answer to a simple question, and we suspect you cannot either.
Ask what a prenup costs and you get one of two replies. A law firm says it depends, which is true and useless. Or an article tells you the average is about $8,000, a number that turns out to have no source at all. We went looking for the survey behind it. There isn't one we could find. It is a figure that got copied from page to page until repetition made it sound like a fact.
So this site does the boring thing instead. We open the pricing page, write down what it says, put the date next to it, and link to it. When it changes, we change it. That is the entire method, and it is unusual enough in this corner of the internet to be worth building a site around.
What we are not
We are not a law firm. Nobody here is your lawyer. We do not draft agreements, review yours, or tell you what to put in one. If a page here ever reads like legal advice, that is a defect and we want to know about it.
The line matters more than it might seem. Marriage and property law is state law, and it varies in ways that surprise people. What holds up in Texas can fail in California. Someone who has not read your documents and does not practice in your state cannot responsibly tell you whether your agreement will survive, and anyone who does it anyway in a blog post is not doing you a favour.
What we can do is tell you what things cost, what the routes are, and what tends to make an agreement fall apart, so that the conversation you have with an actual lawyer is shorter and cheaper.
Who writes it
The PrenupDesk Team. We publish under the brand rather than a byline, because the thing you should check is not who we are but whether the source link goes where we say it goes. A name on a page proves nothing. A dated citation you can open proves the claim.
We also will not invent a lawyer to put on the masthead. Several sites in this niche imply legal authorship in ways that are, at best, decorative. We would rather say plainly that we are researchers who read pricing pages and statutes carefully.
How this makes money
Some links to services are referral links, which means we may earn a commission if you sign up. It costs you nothing extra. That is the whole model.
Two things we will not do. We do not run display ads, anywhere, ever. And we do not change a recommendation because of what it pays. The honest version of this site says an online prenup is fine for a lot of people, which is the cheaper product and the smaller commission, and it says pay a lawyer when your situation calls for it, which pays us nothing at all. If that ever stops being true, the site is worthless and so is the commission. The disclosure page has the details.
Where our numbers come from
Every figure on this site, the page it came from, and the day we last opened that page and read it. Checked again each quarter.
| Figure | Source | Checked |
|---|---|---|
| $599 | HelloPrenup pricing page . Online prenup, flat, per couple, no attorney involved. | 16 Jul 2026 |
| $2,197 | HelloPrenup pricing page . The $599 base plus $799 per partner for a licensed attorney each. | 16 Jul 2026 |
| $49 | HelloPrenup pricing page . Attorney Q&A, per partner, per 20 minutes. | 16 Jul 2026 |
| $1,000 to $10,000 | LegalZoom, How much does a prenup cost? . Their published range. Their page says it was updated 29 July 2024, so treat it as roughly two years old. | 16 Jul 2026 |
| Same product | LegalZoom's HelloPrenup partner page . LegalZoom does not sell a competing prenup. It routes prenup customers to HelloPrenup at the same price, which is why you will never see the two compared here as if they were alternatives. | 16 Jul 2026 |
What we could not verify
This half is unusual to publish, which is exactly why it is here. These are numbers other sites state plainly and we will not, because we could not open the source and read them ourselves.
- The $8,000 average prenup Quoted almost everywhere in this niche. No page we found names the survey, the sample size, the year, or the publisher. We could not trace it to anything, so we do not repeat it.
- $890 to draft, $540 to review Attributed to ContractsCounsel's marketplace data. Their page refuses automated requests, so we have not read it at the source. The review figure also disagrees with the $510 LegalZoom cites for the same statistic, which suggests one of them is stale.
- $2,499 for an online postnup HelloPrenup describes this price for its sister brand Postnup.com. That is a company describing an affiliate, not a seller's own pricing page, and Postnup.com blocks automated requests. Unread at the source.
- Rocket Lawyer's prenup price Advertised as free to create behind a membership. Their pricing renders dynamically and we could not read a figure. So we do not quote one.
None of the above appears as fact anywhere on this site. When we can read one at its source, it gets a row in the table above and a date, and not before.
Corrections
Prices move without announcement, and we would rather hear it from you than find out in six months. If a number here is wrong, tell us and we will check it at the source, fix it, and change the date on the page.
