Pricing, credits & subscriptions

Credits are the currency used on Genetic Affairs to run various analyses and are the equivalents of cents US. Upon registering, you receive 200 free credits, which can be used to explore our tools. Additional credits can be purchased individually or through a subscription plan, and they allow you to perform in-depth analyses of your genetic data.

Additional credits can be purchased using monthly subscriptions from our subscription page. These monthly subscriptions yield 10% bonus credits (e.g., a monthly subscription of 10 dollar corresponds with 1000 credits + 100 bonus credits = 1100 credits). Credits can also be purchased via single payments (for instance; a single payment of 7 dollar will result in 700 credits). Note that the single payment or subscription site only works after entering your credit card information in the settings page.

Any unused credits from your monthly subscription will accumulate and roll over to the next month. These credits remain available for future analyses, ensuring that none of your credits are lost.

The AutoLineage tool requires an active subscription.

The Combined Analysis is available to customers outside the free tier; it is not part of the free trial. It runs on FamilyTreeDNA data and costs 500 credits. The optional AI addition costs another 250 credits (750 credits total) and requires an active subscription.

For analyses run through the Genetic Affairs members area, the free tier can analyze up to 50 matches, a customer outside the free tier without an active subscription up to 200 matches, and a member with an active subscription up to 400 matches.

These are match-count limits, separate from credit balances. Available data and selection settings can result in fewer matches. Combined Analysis is available to customers outside the free tier; its optional AI addition requires an active subscription. Tools hosted by other testing companies and AutoLineage imports follow their own workflows.

If an analysis fails, contact us to request reimbursement. Include the analysis identifier and a description of what happened.

Your credits remain active after cancellation. Subscription-only features, including AutoLineage and the AI addition to Combined Analysis, require an active subscription and are no longer available after the subscription ends. Combined Analysis itself remains available to customers outside the free tier.
