member messaging feature free. It also offers an ethnicity/admixture
report and a list of DNA matches. No data subscription is needed to

Family Tree DNA autosomal DNA test (Family Finder) provides an ethnicity (admixture) report, list
of DNA matches, chromosome browser and allows DNA matches to contact a match directly if that match allows it. Once
tested, DNA samples are stored so that additional test types (upgrades)
can be added if desired. Family Tree DNA is the only genealogy DNA
testing company that offers all three DNA test types: autosomal, Y-DNA
and mtDNA. No subscription is needed to see/use all the DNA matching
features.
Remember if you are adding a test (upgrading) to an existing test you manage, make sure you are signed into that test before making the purchase. If that existing test was done directly with FTDNA the existing spit sample will be used unless there is a problem and in that case FTDNA will contact you. If you are purchasing a test for someone you have not tested yet make sure you are not signed into any existing test you manage that way a spit collection kit will be sent.
Family Tree DNA also offers autosomal DNA transfers. So
if you have already tested at another genealogy DNA testing company you
can upload your RAW DNA data to get your test into another "pool" of
potential DNA matches. The transfer is initially free which lets you see
all your matches and use the FamilyFinder-Matrix to compare up to 10
matches. To access additional FamilyFinder tools the cost is just $19 to
unlock them.
Family Tree DNA currently accepts autosomal transfers from:
Ancestry DNA (V1 and V2 chips)
23andME (V3 and V4 chips) but not its V5 chip in use since Aug. 2017
MyHeritageDNA (Transfers from kits tested directly at MyHeritage are completely free with no unlock fee.)
One
thing to note is that transfers of tests on the AncestryDNA V2 chip and
the 23andMe V4 chip receive all but the most speculative matches (6th
cousin to remote cousins) because these chips are not fully compatible.
