what's the cheapest and what's the most expensive? which y-dna company would you offer me? any advice and suggestion are welcome. lets say even if i don't want to make an order, i'm just curious about how it works exactly

sincerely thanks in advance

Ftdna or str test y-66 or -111
And then if you want to get deep into what specific subclade and markers you can upgrade to Big Y test with bam file or Y seq for ydna full genemic sequencing I think or wgs400 or one of those test

For autosomal geneology AncestryDna



can this ancestrydna show me everything about my haplogroup, and also maps where my ancestors came from?

It does autosomal but they are the best autosomal dna test for geneology because they geared it towards that. You can create family trees that. Its tools for family trees are decent and it has the largest database of autosomal dna test. Maybe with exception of 23andme not sure which has larger. But 23andme doesnt do family trees properly so no one really puts up family trees.

The best of both will be 23&me, especially if you're budget conscious. Genealogy (mainly relatives or possible relatives) and haplogroups. Plus downloadable data and plenty of fun gimmickry.

And it uses an old outdated haplotree from 2012 or something like that.

which company should I better choose in order to know my haplogroup+areas where my ancestors came from mentioned on the world map?

The raw data from AncestryDNA contains both Y-DNA and mtDNA data. They just don't show it.
