Estate Guru markets an attorney on every plan, but a close read of their terms reveals the actual model is template-driven with automated flagging - attorneys build the system and review edge cases, not individual plans. That's structurally similar to what every platform does, including Snug. The difference is transparency: Snug is upfront that attorneys develop the templates, not individual plans, and directs clients to an attorney when their situation genuinely requires it. Estate Guru also has a disclosed conflict of interest - they pay the attorneys, not the client - which their own terms acknowledge may cause attorneys to favor Estate Guru's interests. If the attorney-on-every-plan positioning matters to your clients, understand what it actually means before paying for it.
