AncestryDNA and 23andMe are the two most recognised names in consumer DNA testing, but they're built for different goals.
Choose AncestryDNA if…
- Your priority is finding relatives and building a family tree.
- You want to connect DNA results with historical records.
Choose 23andMe if…
- You want health predisposition, carrier and wellness reports.
- You're curious about traits and haplogroups.
Privacy considerations
Before testing with any company, read its current privacy policy, check who owns the company, and know how to download and delete your data.
Our verdict: for genealogy, AncestryDNA wins. For health, 23andMe. Serious researchers often test with one and upload raw data to others that accept it.
