⏳ Upgrade Offers & Previous Version Deals
Upgrade offers began to appear if you previously had FTM 2019 —
Quotes for early "RootsTech" pre-orders range from $29.95 to $35.
That was a pre-release, though; FTM 2024 didn't really premiere until May 10, 2025. Upgraded pricing will therefore probably return to full upgrade rates after launch.
Pre-orders were either $29 or $60, according to certain users, but until May 2025, shipping delays and inconsistent signals were frequent.
✅ Final Thoughts
📦 FTM 2024's standard price ranges from $149 for one year to $799 for a lifetime.
🎯 Only early adopters and pre-order promotions are eligible for the discount options (~$30–$60).
Officially published on May 10, 2025, the software now has full upgrade price.
