MyHeritage-specific things to know

MyHeritage subscriptions can work differently depending on your plan type and signup method. These tips cover common situations.

Data remains accessible after cancelling
Your family tree and uploaded photos stay on MyHeritage even after cancellation, but you'll lose access to premium records and advanced features.
Annual plans renew automatically
Most MyHeritage plans are annual subscriptions that auto-renew. Cancel before your renewal date to avoid being charged for another year.
DNA kits are separate purchases
DNA testing kits are one-time purchases and aren't affected by subscription cancellation. Your DNA results remain accessible even without an active plan.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check your billing source

Verify whether you're billed directly by MyHeritage or through an app store. The cancel process is different for each method.

2. Access continues until period ends

After cancelling, you'll keep premium access until your current billing period expires. You won't lose access immediately.

3. Note annual renewal dates

Most MyHeritage plans renew annually. Check when your next renewal date is to time your cancellation appropriately and avoid unwanted charges.

Other options

If cost is the main concern, you might consider downgrading to a less expensive plan instead of cancelling completely.

Downgrade your MyHeritage plan

MyHeritage offers several subscription tiers at different price points. You can switch to a less expensive plan to keep some premium features while reducing costs.

  • Essential plan - Basic records access

  • Premium plan - Full records and advanced features

  • Complete plan - All features plus DNA matching

Switch Your Billing Cycle

MyHeritage offers both monthly and annual billing options, with annual plans providing significant savings compared to paying monthly.
