December 10, 20253 min read

Compare Friendictionary's Free and Pro plans. Understand what you get with each and when to upgrade.

Friendictionary offers both a generous free plan and an affordable Pro plan. Here's what you need to know to choose the right one.

The Free Plan

Our free plan is genuinely free - no credit card required, no trial period that expires. It includes:

One Family Tree: Build a complete family tree with unlimited members.

Unlimited Members: Add as many family members as you need with no restrictions.

Photo Uploads: Upload photos for every family member to personalize your tree.

View-Only Sharing: Generate share links so family can view your tree.

Basic Support: Access to our help documentation and email support.

The free plan is perfect for individuals or families who want to document a single family line.

The Pro Plan

For £2.99 per month (cancel anytime), Pro unlocks:

Unlimited Family Trees: Create separate trees for different family branches (mom's side, dad's side, etc.)

Editor Sharing: Give family members permission to help build and edit the tree.

Priority Support: Faster response times and dedicated help when you need it.

Export Data: Download your family tree data in multiple formats.

Advanced Features: Early access to new features as we release them.

When to Upgrade to Pro

Consider upgrading if you:

Have multiple family lines: Want separate trees for maternal and paternal sides.

Want collaboration: Need family members to help add information and photos.

Manage multiple families: Maintain trees for friends, genealogy clients, or research projects.

Need editor permissions: Want relatives to contribute actively rather than just view.

How to Upgrade

Upgrading is simple:

  1. Click on your profile avatar
  2. Select "Settings"
  3. Go to the "Subscription" section
  4. Click "Upgrade to Pro"
  5. Enter payment details
  6. Start using Pro features immediately

Downgrade Anytime

Not sure if Pro is right for you? Try it risk-free. You can cancel your subscription at any time, and you'll retain Pro features until the end of your billing period. After that, your account simply reverts to the free plan - your data is never deleted.

Family Sharing Across Plans

Free Plan Sharing: Anyone with your share link can view your tree but cannot make edits.

Pro Plan Sharing: You control permissions. Give some people view-only access and others editor access. Perfect for collaborative family history projects.

Making the Choice

Start with the free plan to get familiar with Friendictionary. You can always upgrade later when you need multiple trees or want to enable family collaboration.

Most users find the free plan sufficient for their needs. Upgrade to Pro when you're ready to take your family tree building to the next level.
