At MyHeritage, we offer two complementary services to explore your family history: the Family Site Subscription (Premium and PremiumPlus) and the Data Subscription. Family Site plans provide complete access to MyHeritage's tools for building your family tree, along with advanced DNA-related features. With this plan, you can fully utilize tools like Smart Matches™. On the other hand, the Data Subscription offers unrestricted access to features focused on historical record research, including the record search engine and Record Matches.
For the ultimate genealogical experience, our Complete Plan combines the PremiumPlus Family Site with the Data Plan, giving you full access to all tree-building tools, DNA features, Smart Matches™, plus unrestricted historical record searching and Record Matches in one comprehensive package.
What is a Family Site Subscription?
A Family Site Subscription (Premium or PremiumPlus) focuses on your family tree(s) and genealogy tools. Each family site can have its own subscription. A Premium or PremiumPlus subscription offers features* such as:
Enhanced Smart Matching – confirm and reject matches, contact Site Manager, automatic merge
Expanded family tree capacity
Full access to family tree builder features like Smart Match Merge, All-in-one charts, and interactive maps
Advanced DNA features

What is a Data Subscription?
A Data Subscription is specifically designed for historical record research and applies across your entire account.
For example, it allows you to*:
Search historical records (access to billion of historical records in all the collections in the MyHeritage Search Engine)
View high-resolution scans of original documents
Confirm or reject Record Matches
Extract information directly from records to your family tree
Save records to individual profile pages
*Please note that the features mentioned are not exhaustive
How do these subscriptions work under one account?
Your MyHeritage account can have:
Multiple Family Site Subscriptions (for different family sites)
One Data Subscription that covers all your research needs
Do I need both subscriptions?
While your needs may vary based on your research goals, our Complete Subscription offers the best value by combining both services. However:
If you're primarily focused on building and connecting your family tree, a Family Site Subscription would meet your basic needs.
If you're mainly interested in researching historical records, a Data Subscription would provide that specific functionality.
Most genealogy enthusiasts find that having both capabilities through our Complete Subscription provides the most comprehensive and satisfying experience.
