DNA test: Ancestry vs 23andme vs Other? Probably this question has been settled here before

1. I have participated in both.

I did 23andme prior to the FDA getting involved. Those issues seem to now be resolved. The health information has been beneficial to me.

I found more specificity in the 23andme report than with Ancestry. You get information on maternal and paternal DNA as well. So I got the specific haplogroup K for my mother for instance which was never given at Ancestry. I also signed up to be contacted when a relative also does their DNA. I have greatly expanded my family tree with this information and made many contacts. This has been more specific than at Ancestry. Ancestry also only provides estimates and percentages for the basic test. It might be more specific in a different test but I don't know.

I have my tree there but I hate the constant costs for different things.
