Dendroscope is described as 'Researchers studying phylogenetic relationships need software that is able to visualize rooted phylogenetic trees and networks efficiently, increasingly of large datasets involving hundreds of thousands of taxa' and is an app. There are four alternatives to Dendroscope for Mac, Windows, Linux and Java. The best Dendroscope alternative is Archaeopteryx, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Dendroscope are FigTree, TreeView X and TreeView.
Archaeopteryx is a software tool for the visualization, analysis, and editing of potentially large and highly annotated phylogenetic trees.
Archaeopteryx is the most popular Windows, Mac & Linux alternative to Dendroscope.
Archaeopteryx is the most popular Open Source & free alternative to Dendroscope.

TreeView X is an open source program to display phylogenetic trees on Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows platforms. It can read and display NEXUS and Newick format tree files (such as those output by PAUP*, .
