The best ancestry site depends on whether you need records, DNA matching, international family-tree coverage, or advanced lineage tools. We compare major platforms by intent so you can choose the one that fits your workflow.

Sequencing.com offers 30x whole genome sequencing for around $399, roughly 3 billion positions per chromosome copy versus the ~650,000 SNPs a 23andMe-style chip samples. It fits buyers who want genome-depth data and accept that interpretation is a separate step.
