Genogram Pro vs EasyGenogram (2026)

EasyGenogram gets you started fast with basic genogram features, but it lacks GEDCOM export, AI, and auto-arrangement. Saving or downloading requires a Qwoach subscription unless you have a student account. Genogram Pro has a free, no-signup browser editor and goes much further: 66+ relationship types, medical conditions with onset dates, auto-arrange, and encrypted storage.

Quick comparison

EasyGenogram is a basic dedicated genogram tool embedded in the Qwoach coaching platform, free for students but otherwise requiring a Qwoach subscription to save or export. It covers about 12 person symbols and basic emotional bonds, but has no GEDCOM, no AI, no auto-arrange, and misses McGoldrick symbols for miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, and adoption. Genogram Pro is a standalone tool with the full symbol set, 37 emotional bond types, 16+ medical conditions, AI editing, auto-arrange, and end-to-end encryption.

Which should you use?

Use Genogram Pro when

You want a standalone editor with the full McGoldrick symbol set, GEDCOM import and export, AI assistance, auto-arrange, and encrypted storage rather than a basic tool locked behind a coaching platform.

Use EasyGenogram when

You are a student with a classroom account or already pay for Qwoach and want a simple genogram sketcher inside your existing coaching workflow.

Key differences between Genogram Pro and EasyGenogram

Platform-Embedded Tool

EasyGenogram is part of the broader Qwoach coaching and therapy platform. It is not available as a standalone product. If you only need a genogram maker, you must subscribe to the full Qwoach platform. This makes sense for coaches already using Qwoach, but adds unnecessary complexity for professionals who only need genogram capabilities.

Genogram Pro is a standalone genogram tool. You sign up, open the editor, and start building. There is no surrounding platform to navigate, no coaching features to ignore, and no bundled tools you do not need.

Limited Person Symbols

EasyGenogram offers approximately 12 person symbol types, heavily focused on gender and sexuality representation (male, female, gay, lesbian, trans, bisexual, non-binary). However, it lacks critical clinical symbols for miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, and adoption brackets that are part of standard McGoldrick notation.

Genogram Pro supports the full McGoldrick symbol set, including all pregnancy outcomes, adoption indicators, and life status markers. Every symbol carries structured data that can be viewed, filtered, and exported.

No GEDCOM or AI

EasyGenogram does not support GEDCOM import or export, limiting interoperability with other genogram and genealogy tools. There is no AI assistant and no auto-arrangement algorithm. Layout is entirely manual, which becomes tedious for larger multigenerational genograms.

Genogram Pro supports GEDCOM import and export, includes an AI assistant for natural-language editing, and provides an auto-arrangement engine that follows McGoldrick layout conventions automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is EasyGenogram a standalone tool?
No. EasyGenogram is embedded in the Qwoach coaching platform. You cannot use it without a Qwoach subscription, unless you have access through a student classroom account.
Does EasyGenogram support McGoldrick notation?
Partially. EasyGenogram includes basic person symbols and claims 50+ connection types, but it lacks key McGoldrick symbols for miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, and adoption brackets.
Can EasyGenogram import or export GEDCOM files?
No. EasyGenogram does not support GEDCOM import or export, which limits its interoperability with other genogram and genealogy tools.
Is EasyGenogram free?
EasyGenogram is free for students with classroom accounts. For everyone else, saving your work or downloading exports requires a Qwoach platform subscription. You can sketch a genogram without an account, but you cannot keep it.
How does EasyGenogram compare to Genogram Pro?
Both are dedicated genogram tools. Genogram Pro is standalone with the full McGoldrick symbol set, AI, auto-arrangement, GEDCOM support, and encryption. EasyGenogram is embedded in Qwoach, has fewer symbols, and lacks AI and GEDCOM support.
