Tree limits count owned trees, including archived trees. Archiving preserves a tree; it does not free a slot for creating another one. Features shown reflect site settings.
A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before you plant
the first branch.
Can I start without a paid plan?
Yes. Free includes one private tree, manual entry, structured imports, people, relationships, photos, life events and standard printing. You can explore paid options later.
What happens if I return to Free?
Additional trees are preserved but become restricted by your plan. When a selection is required, choose one eligible non-archived tree as your Free tree. Upgrading restores access according to your plan.
Are tree archives and Family Archive the same?
No. Premium and Family Premium owners can archive and restore their trees. Family Archive is the separate Family Premium collection for stories, media, documents and time capsules.
Does a backup include all my media?
The text backup contains people, relationships and life events and restores through Family Import. Keep separate copies of photographs, recordings, videos and other attachments.
Do invitations upgrade my relatives’ accounts?
No. An invitation grants the permitted access to that shared tree. Each relative keeps their own personal plan; individual tools also follow their access rules.
Which timeline is included in Free?
Color Spine is the default free personal timeline. Additional enabled layouts and the combined family timeline require Premium access.
