Casa Alternative
The Best Casa Alternative
for Crypto Inheritance
Casa makes your heirs wait up to six months before inheritance even activates — and holds one of your key shards on its servers the whole time.
VaultPass fires on the schedule you set. The only inheritance vault that triggers automatically, with zero people to approve it — encrypted client-side and delivered by the switch.
Casa is excellent Bitcoin custody software. But if your primary goal is crypto inheritance planning — ensuring your heirs can access your assets when you die — VaultPass is purpose-built for that job, at a fraction of the cost.

VaultPass
Automated, provable, zero people in the loop — and we can't read it.
Casa
Multisig custody with a six-month wait, a shard on their servers, and a process someone has to start.
Don't trust us — verify
“Client-side encryption” is easy to claim. We let you watch AES-256-GCM encrypt and decrypt entirely in your own browser — nothing reaches our servers in plaintext.
Why People Switch from Casa to VaultPass
The 6-month waiting period is a problem
Casa requires a 6-month window before heirs can activate the inheritance protocol. VaultPass fires on the schedule you set, immediately.
Beyond Bitcoin, and beyond wallets
Casa's model is built around Bitcoin and Ethereum multisig. VaultPass stores any secret — seed phrases for any chain, passwords, and documents — encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM before it reaches our servers. Both services hold key material to automate recovery; ours is described in full on our security page.
Heirs don't need to understand multisig
Casa's inheritance flow requires your heir to understand and execute a multisig transaction. VaultPass Heir Portal is designed for non-technical users — your heir gets a notification, verifies identity, and receives access.
24/7 support
VaultPass includes 24/7 support in every plan. Backup recovery assistance is included. Casa offers concierge support on higher tiers only.
Why we built this
If something happened to me tomorrow, my family had no way to reach my crypto — and no safe way for me to leave it to them without creating a target while I'm still alive. Every existing option asked me to trust a company with my keys, or trust a person to act at the worst moment of their life. I didn't want either. So I built the one thing that needs neither: math that splits your key, and a switch that fires on its own.
Honest assessment
When Casa is the better choice
Casa is the right choice if you want active key rotation and collaborative multisig signing as day-to-day custody features. For pure inheritance, VaultPass wins on technology, price, and support — 24/7 support and backup recovery assistance included in every plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is VaultPass really cheaper than Casa?
At $299/yr, VaultPass is $49/yr less than Casa's Standard plan. But price isn't the main story — the technology is fundamentally different. VaultPass uses Shamir's Secret Sharing and client-side encryption. Casa holds a key shard on its servers.
Does Casa have a dead man's switch?
Casa has heir management tools, but no automated trigger. A human must initiate the process. VaultPass fires automatically when your Sentinel Pulse stops — no one needs to approve anything.
What if VaultPass shuts down?
Your recovery code is MIT-licensed and archived on GitHub permanently. Even if VaultPass disappears, you (or your heirs) can run the open-source recovery tool independently.
Can my heir access funds without knowing crypto?
Yes. The VaultPass Heir Portal is designed for non-technical users. Your heir gets a notification, verifies identity, and receives the vault contents — no wallet setup or multisig knowledge required.
