23 and Me = Monthly subscription.

Ancestry.com = 1 time fee.

No brainer.

The subscription model looks a like a great revenue stream to investors....until the subscribers figure out that they are paying and getting little.

Ask any newspaper.

I (and a couple of relatives) only ever paid a 1-time fee to 23nMe. Two of them DO pay a subscription to Ancestry, tho

23 and Me = Monthly subscription. Ancestry.com = 1 time fee.

You have it exactly backwards. 23&me charges for the DNA test, that's it. Ancestry charges for the DNA test and 19.99 a month (or more).
