Your family story, finally in one place. FamilyTreeIQ is the private, collaborative family tree builder. Start with what you know — you, your parents, your kids — then invite aunts, uncles, and cousins to fill in the rest. Every detail counts, and every change is tracked. BUILT FOR REAL FAMILIES Divorces, remarriages, step-children, adoptions, half-siblings, unmarried co-parents — every family is different, and the tree handles all of it without a fight. SIX WAYS TO SEE YOUR TREE • Canvas — pan and zoom across every generation • Pedigree — classic ancestor chart, four or five generations back • Descendants — top-down cascade from any great-grandparent • Fan chart — you at the center, ancestors in rings; beautiful to print and share • Timeline — every life as a bar across the years; see who lived through what • List — flat, sortable, filterable; perfect for spotting gaps One tree, six layouts. Add someone once, see them everywhere. FAMILY PHOTOS & FACE TAGS Upload that shoebox of old photos and tag the faces. Link each face to a person in your tree — their name and dates come along automatically. Captions, dates taken, and notes, just like the back of a printed photo. Open any relative to see every photo they appear in. BUILD IT TOGETHER • Invite relatives by link — they add what they know • Per-tree comment thread — settle "wait, who married who?" as a family • Full change history — see who added what, and when • Trace any lineage — tap a person to highlight every ancestor and descendant PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Only you and the people you explicitly invite can see your tree. No public listings, no search-engine indexing, no ads in your tree, and your data isn't trapped — GEDCOM import and export included. IN THE APP • Push notifications when family members add people, photos, or comments • Home-screen shortcuts straight to your trees and dashboard • Auto-saved, synced, and works with your account on any device Capture the stories before they're lost. Start your tree free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FamilyTreeIQ at none against Clan Tree's 3. Clan Tree's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
