Xcode Life alternative
Try a readable raw DNA report before paying.
Xcode Life offers many report packs for people uploading an existing DNA file. GenoSight is the alternative when you want to try a narrower educational report workflow first, with no card required and clear boundaries around what consumer raw DNA can and cannot prove.

Comparison
Xcode Life sells report packs. GenoSight starts with a no-card trial.
Both products start from an existing raw DNA file. The key difference is the buying motion and scope. Xcode Life emphasizes category reports and bundles. GenoSight emphasizes a lower-friction first report, account history, PDFs, and findings-grounded chat on paid plans.

A raw DNA report is discussion material, not instructions.
GenoSight keeps the report posture conservative. It can explain what selected variants may suggest in context, but it does not diagnose conditions, prescribe supplements, or replace clinical confirmation.
Educational only, not diagnosis or treatment guidance
Built for 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and MyHeritage raw files
Raw genotype file is not sent to the LLM during synthesis
No WGS, VCF, BAM, FASTQ, PDF, or screenshot upload support
