It's good, but really annoying with their limits and request to subscribe.

This is a money making scheme and you should stay away.

On every turn if you want to do something on the site you have to buy premium membership.

They try to draw you in with so-called "smart matches".

Although the site layout is well designed and the functionality is fine and the underlying database is much larger compared to the common free alternatives: it is VERY expensive! The so-called SMART-Matches make it easy to add persons to your family tree. The server findes them using stochastic algorithms. It's an advantage that most of the other online genealogy sites do not offer the same way. You get this feature only in the expensive full subscription. But this feature seems to be controlled. If you terminate your subsciption then you suddenly are informed (email) about many matches coming in that should already have been calculated times ago. This obviously is to push you to extend the subscription. BTW the subscription can only be cancelled after a year, not monthly!

What is MyHeritage?

MyHeritage is a genealogy website and social network service focused on family. It enables members to establish their own family websites, share photos and videos, plan family events, create family trees, and search for ancestors. With 75 million users, 27 million family trees, 1.5 billion profiles, and 5.2 billion historical records, MyHeritage stands as one of the largest sites in the social networking and genealogy field.

The platform offers Family Tree Builder (FTB), a genealogy software for Windows that allows users to create family trees. The free version requires no registration and users can opt to pay for the premium version for additional features. Users can add details about their ancestors such as birth, death, and marriage dates, residency, profession, hobbies, and photos. The software can generate charts showing family relationships and allows users to build their family tree either online or offline.

FTB features a Smart Matching function that searches the MyHeritage database for matching family tree profiles. It also includes automatic face detection technology, a maps module integrated with Google Maps, and Smart Research for investigating family trees in key genealogy databases.
