Every person gets one health story, and one private Family Stork email address every clinic already knows how to use. Tired of managing health records for yourself and everyone you love? Family Stork organizes them for you automatically.
Everplans and Family Stork both help families organize what matters. They organize different things — and knowing which to reach for saves a lot of confusion.
Everplans is a life document organizer. It's built around the things every family should have somewhere: wills, insurance policies, account passwords, IDs, emergency contacts, estate instructions. It helps families get organized so the people they love know where everything is.
Family Stork is a health records timeline. It's built around the medical story your child accumulates from the first checkup forward — vaccines, growth charts, allergies, specialist visits, lab results — all on one continuous timeline that belongs to your family, not any clinic's portal.
Wills and estate documents. Store and share your will, power of attorney, and final wishes with trusted people.
Insurance policies. Life, home, auto, and health policy details in one place.
Account access. Passwords, financial accounts, and digital assets — organized for family emergencies.
IDs and vital records. Passports, birth certificates, Social Security cards.
Trusted access. Securely share specific items with specific people.
Legacy planning checklists. Step-by-step guidance for getting your affairs in order.
Everplans has a free base app and paid premium tier. It does not connect to clinics, receive medical records by email, or track health metrics over time.
Health records from every provider. Not just one clinic's portal — every doctor, specialist, and lab, on one timeline.
Records-inbox email. Every family member gets a private @familystork address. Give it to any clinic. They email records; the timeline files them.
Vaccines, growth charts, milestones. The full developmental picture, from birth forward, in one place.
Paper records. Snap a photo; the AI reads dates, values, and details so nothing is lost in a drawer.
Ask the record questions. "When was her last tetanus booster?" Answers grounded in your child's actual history.
Transfers at 18. Your child walks into adulthood with their full health history — not a blank slate.
$99/year — or about $10 a month. Family Stork is built specifically for medical records and does not cover wills, financial accounts, or estate planning.
When a family searches for "organize family records" or "keep family documents in one place," both products appear — and with good reason. Both solve a real organization problem. The overlap is in the word records.
Everplans means legal and administrative records: the documents an executor needs, or a spouse needs in a crisis. Family Stork means medical records: the vaccine history your child's new pediatrician needs, the allergy list the camp requires, the growth data you want to show the specialist.
Some families use both. They're not competitors in practice — they organize different file cabinets in the same house.
This is where the products diverge completely. Everplans is not designed to receive or organize clinic visit notes, immunization records, or lab results. It's a secure document vault — you add documents manually, and it stores them.
Family Stork is built around the way clinics actually send information. Most pediatric offices already send visit summaries by email. Family Stork gives each patient a private @familystork email address — the clinic sends the summary there, and the health timeline updates. No new behavior for the clinic. No portal logins for the parent. No uploads.
That's the core of the email mechanic: the clinic does what it already does. The record files itself.
You can upload any document to Everplans, including a photo of a vaccine card. But it stores it as a file, not as a parsed, searchable health event. You can't ask Everplans "when was her last MMR?" and get an answer from her timeline. Family Stork parses vaccine records into the health story so you can find, share, and reference individual entries.
No. Family Stork is a health records app. For wills, powers of attorney, account access, and estate documents, Everplans is purpose-built for exactly that. For your family's health story — clinics, vaccines, growth, allergies — Family Stork is the right tool.
Yes — that's the email mechanic. Every person gets a private @familystork email address. You give it to your child's clinic, lab, or hospital. They send visit summaries to it using regular email. The records file automatically into the health timeline. Ask your child's pediatrician — most already send visit summaries by email and can add your @familystork address to the record.
That depends on your situation. If you want your estate documents and account access organized for your family's benefit in an emergency, Everplans addresses that. If you want your children's health records organized — automatically, from every clinic, in one searchable timeline — Family Stork addresses that. They solve different problems and some families use both.
Family Stork is $99 per year — or about $10 a month. Everplans has a free base plan and a paid premium tier; check their site for current pricing.

Everplans is an excellent choice for organizing the legal and financial documents your family needs in a crisis: wills, insurance, accounts, IDs. It's thoughtfully designed for that purpose.
Family Stork is an excellent choice for organizing your family's health story: every clinic visit, vaccine, lab result, and specialist note — from birth forward — on one timeline that builds itself from the email your doctor's office already sends. Two different tools for two different drawers.
