Short answer

Of the big astrology apps we checked, two put the astrologer's share in public terms. Anytime Astro states 20 to 40 percent of what the client pays, decided at onboarding and paid between the 15th and 20th of each month ¹. AstroSage shares revenue at a rate it tells each astrologer separately, pays within 10 days of the next month and deducts TDS ². Astrotalk, Astroyogi, InstaAstro, MyPandit, GaneshaSpeaks and Vama do not state a share. Kismo publishes its share: 30% to 55% of the rate you set, shown on every request.

Apps with a private agreed rate: AstroSage: told to each astrologer separately ²
Apps stating no share at all: Astrotalk, Astroyogi, InstaAstro, MyPandit, GaneshaSpeaks, Vama
Free promotional minutes: Unpaid on AstroSage ²; paid in proportion to the offer on Anytime Astro ¹
Monthly charge: AstroSage deducts Rs 999 a month when your share is above Rs 20,000 ²
Kismo: 30% to 55% of your own rate; Rs 2,000 minimum withdrawal, once every 14 days

The table

Which astrology apps publish what they pay astrologers?

Astrology apps rarely publish what they pay astrologers; Anytime Astro and AstroSage are the exceptions, through terms written for astrologers. Every other cell below says "Not stated publicly" because we found nothing on the app's own pages.

App	Astrologer's share	Who sets the rate	When you are paid	Minimum withdrawal
Anytime Astro	20 to 40 percent of what the client pays, set at onboarding ¹	Anytime Astro, which can change prices without notice ¹	15th to 20th of every month ¹	Not stated publicly
AstroSage	An agreed rate told to each astrologer separately ²	An agreed rate, which AstroSage may lower for offers ²	Within 10 days of the next month, after TDS ²	Not stated publicly
Astrotalk	Not stated publicly; it "takes a cut" ³	Not stated publicly	Not stated publicly	Not stated publicly
Astroyogi	Not stated publicly	You, in its astrologer app ⁵	Not stated publicly	Not stated publicly
InstaAstro	Not stated; its astrologer app promises a "fair commission" ⁷	Not stated publicly	To your bank account, no schedule given ⁷	Not stated publicly
MyPandit	Not stated; its experts app shows earnings and incentives ⁸	Not stated publicly	Not stated publicly	Not stated publicly
GaneshaSpeaks	Not stated publicly	Not stated publicly	Not stated publicly	Not stated publicly
Vama	Not stated publicly	Not stated publicly	Not stated publicly	Not stated publicly
Kismo	30% to 55% of your rate, by level and returning client	You, Rs 20 to Rs 1,000 a minute	You withdraw once every 14 days	Rs 2,000

GaneshaSpeaks' Experts App describes calls, chats and charts for its experts but says nothing about pay ⁹. Astrotalk's terms point to separate Service Terms agreed at registration ⁴, which is where its share would be written.

Words

What does commission mean on an astrology app?

Commission on an astrology app can mean two opposite things: the part the app keeps, or the part you keep. Read the sentence twice before you compare numbers.

Anytime Astro uses it for your part: "your commission will be between 20-40 percent" of what the customer pays ¹. Astrotalk's 2020 blog post uses the other sense, saying the company takes a cut of the per-minute charge ³.

Also ask what the percentage is taken from. A share of the client's payment and a share of your listed rate are the same only when no discount, refund or fee is involved.

Private terms

Why do most apps keep the astrologer's share private?

Most apps keep the astrologer's share private because they set it one astrologer at a time. Anytime Astro's terms say remuneration, revenue sharing, consultation charges and payment terms are negotiated individually at onboarding and written in a separate agreement ¹.

AstroSage's terms say the same in fewer words: revenue is shared "at an agreed rate separately intimated to the Astrologer" ². Astroyogi's terms describe how clients are billed through its platform, online or offline, but not what experts keep ⁶.

A private share is not a bad sign by itself. It does mean you cannot compare apps until each one shows you its agreement, so ask for it before you give documents.

Deductions

What can be taken out of an astrologer's share?

An astrologer's share can shrink after the session through free minutes, offers, refunds, chargebacks and platform charges. The two apps with public terms list these in detail.

Deduction	AstroSage [2]	Anytime Astro [1]
Free or promotional minutes	No payment for free minutes, discounts, coupons or vouchers	Paid in proportion to the offer given
Client refunds	Refunded sessions are unpaid, at AstroSage's discretion	Refund comes from both sides; foreign users' refunds from your account
Chargebacks	You repay, or it is taken from later payments	You bear the amount plus gateway or bank penalties
Platform charge	Rs 999 a month when your share is above Rs 20,000	None stated
Price changes	May lower your agreed rate for promotions	Company can change prices without notice

Offers to clients are common. Anytime Astro's client page advertises a wallet deal where Rs 1,000 paid becomes Rs 1,100 to spend ¹⁰; it does not say whether the extra Rs 100 of minutes pays you in full.

Same minutes

How much does the share change what an astrologer takes home?

The share changes take-home pay as much as the rate does. The minutes below are made up: 1,000 paid minutes at Rs 30, so clients pay Rs 30,000.

Share (made up)	You keep	After a Rs 999 monthly charge, if it applies
20%	Rs 6,000	Not charged under AstroSage's Rs 20,000 rule ²
40%	Rs 12,000	Not charged
55%	Rs 16,500	Not charged
40% of 2,500 minutes	Rs 30,000	Rs 29,001

Moving from 20% to 40% doubles your income for the same work. That is why the share deserves as much attention as the rate on your profile.

Strings attached

What rules come attached to an app's pay terms?

An app's pay terms often come with hours, exclusivity and exit rules, and these can cost more than a few points of commission.

Hours: Anytime Astro requires 6 hours online daily, 180 hours in a 30-day month, to keep your account in good standing ¹.
Exclusivity: AstroSage's terms make your services exclusive to it and let it cut your agreed rate or end your services if you work elsewhere ².
Leaving early: AstroSage charges a Rs 1,00,000 penalty if you resign in your first three months ².
Your photo: Anytime Astro bars your profile picture from other platforms while its terms apply, and your display image for 5 years after you leave ¹.

On Kismo

How does Kismo's share work, and what does its exclusivity mean?

Kismo's share is a published percentage of the per-minute rate you set, and it rises with your level and with each return of the same client.

Visit by the same client	Rising (under Rs 7,500 in 30 days)	Established (from Rs 7,500)	Top (from Rs 19,000)
First visit	30%	40%	50%
Second visit	50%	50%	50%
Third visit onward	55%	55%	55%

Your level is recomputed every night, and once you reach Top you stay there for 60 days. Minutes given free through the Increase Client Flow switch earn nothing, and you keep 50% of any gift a client sends after a reading.

The Astrologer Agreement is exclusive. While your profile is live, you cannot read through any other astrology app, website or platform, paid or unpaid; private clients off any platform are allowed. If you read on one of the apps above, you leave it before going live; see joining more than one app.

Questions

What do astrologers ask about this?

What is the normal commission on astrology apps in India?

There is no published industry standard. Anytime Astro states 20 to 40 percent of what the client pays for the astrologer ¹, AstroSage sets a private rate per astrologer ², and Kismo publishes 30% to 55% of your own rate. The other apps do not state a figure.

Do astrology apps pay astrologers for free minutes?

Some do not. AstroSage's terms say no payment is made for free minutes, discounts, coupons or vouchers ². Anytime Astro pays promotional sessions in proportion to the offer ¹. The other apps do not say, so ask before you agree to promotional sessions.

Is TDS deducted from an astrologer's app earnings?

On AstroSage, yes: its terms say TDS is deducted from every payment, whatever the amount ². Other apps do not state their practice publicly. For the government rules, see tax for online astrologers.

Can I negotiate my commission with an astrology app?

Anytime Astro's terms say each astrologer's pay, revenue share and payment terms are discussed and agreed individually at onboarding ¹, so asking is reasonable there. Get any agreed figure in writing before you start reading.

Which astrology apps let astrologers set their own per-minute rate?

Astroyogi's astrologer app lets you set your rate per minute ⁵. On Anytime Astro the company holds the right to change prices ¹. Kismo lets you set separate chat and call rates from Rs 20 to Rs 1,000 a minute, and a change applies at once.

Is there a penalty for leaving an astrology app early?

On AstroSage there is: resigning during the first three months, which its terms call the induction phase, carries a penalty of Rs 1,00,000 ². Read the exit clause of any app before you sign, along with the share.
