Questions, answered
Is there really no limit on people?
Correct. The free edition gives you unlimited member profiles and relationships, forever. The paywall is only on advanced capabilities — never on how many people you can add.
What does a Pro license buy?
GeneLink is GPL software. A license buys ongoing updates, support, and access to the premium features — not permission to use the code. Your license is billed annually per the plan you choose.
What’s the difference between Pro and Pro Family?
Pro activates on one site. Pro Family activates on up to five sites and adds Family Groups, member broadcasts, and the data-quality tools — ideal if you manage several branches or projects.
Can I try it first?
You’re already in it. This entire site is a live Pro demo running on the fictional Calloway family. Explore freely — it resets to a clean state every night.
Can I get my data out?
Always. Pro includes full GEDCOM export, so you can take your complete tree to any genealogy app at any time.
