MyHeritage believes that everyone in the world has a right to know their family history, and that’s why the company provides many valuable family tree building and family history research tools for free.
However, MyHeritage also offers paid features and services that can simplify and enrich your genealogy journey.
In this article, we’ll explore all of MyHeritage’s paid features, plans, and purchases, and show you how to track your purchases on MyHeritage.

How to upgrade your plan
If you wish to upgrade your plan, click your name on the user strip at the very top of the screen and select “Site settings.”
Click “Upgrade your site plan” and select the plan you would like to upgrade to, then proceed to the payment page.
MyHeritage DNA
The MyHeritage DNA kit is a simple cheek-swab autosomal DNA test for genetic genealogy that discovers your relatives by matching you to millions of people who tested their DNA on MyHeritage. It also provides a percentage-based Ethnicity Estimate based on 42 ethnic regions around the world.
To purchase a MyHeritage DNA kit, click here, or hover your cursor over the “DNA” tab in the navigation bar and select “Order DNA kits.”
Once you have purchased a kit, you’ll receive updates via email regarding its status. You’ll also receive updates when your sample has been received by the lab. To monitor your DNA kit’s status, hover your cursor over the “DNA” tab in the navigation bar and select “Manage DNA kits.” You’ll see a list of DNA kits and files alongside their type and status.
Health upgrade
The Health upgrade provides users who have purchased a MyHeritage DNA kit with an assessment of how your genes may affect your health, including comprehensive polygenic and monogenic risk reports and carrier status reports.
To purchase a Health upgrade, go to “Manage DNA kits” under the DNA tab in the navigation bar. A blue “Upgrade to Health” button will appear next to any kits that are eligible for an upgrade. Click the button to add the upgrade to your cart. After you complete the purchase, your results will be ready in a few days. You’ll receive an email notifying you when they are ready.
Note that the Health upgrade is not available in some countries and U.S. states. Click here to learn more about who is eligible for a MyHeritage DNA test.
Online backup service
The backup service is a paid service separate from the site plans, meaning it’s available to anyone who has a family tree on MyHeritage for an additional fee. This service backs up your family tree once a month and sends you an email with a link to download the backup file to your computer.
To activate the backup service, hover your cursor over the “Family tree” tab in the navigation bar and select “More,” then click “Backup.” Then click “Get started” and follow the instructions to complete the purchase.
