Dendroscope vs FigTree

Dendroscope is a cross-platform desktop application for visualizing and analyzing rooted phylogenetic trees and networks. It can visualize large trees up to several thousand nodes while still remaining interactive, supports many standard formats like Newick and Nexus, and provides advanced visualization features such as interactive labeling, coloring, visual integration of node images, and animations.

FigTree is a free, open-source desktop application for drawing and viewing phylogenetic trees. It allows easy editing of basic tree aesthetics, such as node shape, color, size, and line width. It can export trees in a range of file formats for publishing and supports large datasets.
