Just don't sign up. Poor functionality and underhand charging. Extremely limited functionality unless you put in card details and then they take a YEAR'S subscription if you don't cancel? Arguably it's my fault for allowing myself to fall into the trap, but it is still a trap. A monthly charge I could live with as that's quite normal, if still underhand, but £105 is completely unscrupulous.

Geni is one big cash grab Geni literally promotes itself as having one family tree that connects all of humanity, but to be able to join that one family tree, I have to purchase a PRO subscription (costs $119.40 per year). Their business model is about PAYWALLING the ability the join the one family tree that it is famous for, effectively making it a CRIPPLEWARE. Their goal is to not help people explore their ancestors in one giant family tree, but rather gather as much REVENUE and PROFIT as they can. Geni is a CASH GRAB.

Stay away form this one Stay away form this one. 120 Dollars each year, if you dont want to pay that amount, the site is useless. Dont waste your time posting your family three there. You have to pay 120 dollars every year if you want anything in return.

So wrong So wrong. Incorrect info.

Speeds similar to dial-up circa 1995 I started a tree on the free version of Geni years ago but ignored it. Yesterday & today I began adding data and the site is extremely sluggish. Profiles won't open, pages freeze for more than 3 minutes, words typed in appear only after significant delay and the data isn't accepted by the site after lengthy 'processing' times. I tried over two days - 5 hours or so, but Geni is flat unusable. It's a shame because I like the interface, and I absolutely LOATHE Ancestry - who once tried to sell me my own images, the creeps. But if the 'lite' version of Geni is this bad, I def don't want to see the other side of the paywall.
