Per minute

How much do astrologers charge per minute on astrology apps?

Astrologers on the big apps charged clients roughly Rs 18 to Rs 125 a minute on the listings we opened on 5 November 2026. The profiles an app shows change between visits, so another visit the same day can show different prices.

Listing opened	Lowest seen	Highest seen	Example
Astrotalk, chat page ¹	Rs 18	Rs 63	A Nadi astrologer with 1 year's experience at Rs 18
Astroyogi, Talk to Astrologers ²	Rs 25	Rs 125	An astrologer with 42 years' experience at Rs 125
GaneshaSpeaks, Talk to Astrologers ³	Rs 35	Rs 53	A 20-year astrologer at Rs 53

Experience and price move together only loosely. On the same Astroyogi page, an astrologer with 25 years' experience charged Rs 44 a minute ². For a wider sample, see setting your per-minute rate.

Per session

What does one astrology consultation cost a client?

One astrology consultation costs the per-minute fee times the minutes it lasts. Clients think in sessions, so it helps to know what your fee means for a full reading.

Fee a minute	10 minutes	20 minutes	30 minutes
Rs 20	Rs 200	Rs 400	Rs 600
Rs 40	Rs 400	Rs 800	Rs 1,200
Rs 60	Rs 600	Rs 1,200	Rs 1,800
Rs 125	Rs 1,250	Rs 2,500	Rs 3,750

Part minutes can count in full. Astroyogi's terms say any part of a minute is charged as a whole minute ¹⁰, so a call of 10 minutes and 20 seconds is billed as 11.

Some apps put a price on a single session in their offers. GaneshaSpeaks includes a free telephonic consultation it values at Rs 999 with a handwritten one-question report ⁴.

Control

Who sets an astrologer's consultation fee on each app?

An astrologer's consultation fee is set by the astrologer on some apps and by the company on others. Check this before you join, because it decides whether you can raise your price as reviews grow.

App	Who sets the fee	Source
Astroyogi	You set your rate per minute, working hours and breaks in its astrologer app	⁶
AstroSage	You can update call rates in the Varta Panel app; AstroSage may lower an agreed rate for offers	^11,7
Anytime Astro	The company holds the sole right to change prices, without notice	⁸
Astrotalk	Not stated publicly; in its 2020 story the company set a new astrologer's price at the average of its panel	⁹
Kismo	You, for chat and call separately, Rs 20 to Rs 1,000 a minute	Kismo

Abroad

Do clients abroad pay a different astrology consultation fee?

Clients abroad can pay a different fee on some apps, without changing what the astrologer is paid. AstroSage's terms let it adjust prices for international customers for gateway charges, exchange rates and other cross-border costs ⁷.

The same terms say these adjustments do not affect the astrologer's fee. You are paid in rupees at your domestic rate, minus foreign transaction charges ⁷.

Offline

What do astrologers charge for consultations offline?

Offline astrology consultation fees have no public price list; each astrologer sets them, often by the reading rather than by the minute. The one offline figure an app has published comes from Astrotalk's 2020 blog.

In that story, a Lucknow astrologer earned Rs 400 to Rs 600 a day reading charts offline before joining the app, and had about 50 regular clients by phone or visit ⁹. Offline you keep the whole fee, but you also find every client yourself.

Free first minutes

How do free and Rs 1 first sessions affect consultation fees?

Free and Rs 1 first sessions mean many clients meet you before paying your fee. Astrotalk and GaneshaSpeaks both promise a free first chat ^1,3. InstaAstro offers a first call or chat at Rs 1 ⁵, and some Astroyogi profiles show a "Flat Deal" at Rs 12 a minute ².

Find out who pays for those minutes. AstroSage's terms say astrologers get nothing for free minutes, discounts or coupons given to customers ⁷. For how to turn a free session into a paying client, see the first free session.

Questions

What do astrologers ask about this?

What is a normal astrology consultation fee per minute in India?

On the app listings we opened on 5 November 2026, fees ran from Rs 18 a minute on Astrotalk to Rs 125 on Astroyogi ^1,2, with GaneshaSpeaks between Rs 35 and Rs 53 ³. Listings rotate, so check the app you plan to join.

How much does a 30-minute astrology consultation cost?

A 30-minute consultation costs 30 times the per-minute fee: Rs 1,200 at Rs 40 a minute, or Rs 3,750 at Rs 125. Where a part minute is billed as a full one, a session that runs a few seconds over costs one minute more ¹⁰.

Can an astrologer charge more for a call than for a chat?

On Kismo, yes: chat and call each get their own per-minute fee, so you can price a call higher if it takes more of your attention. Most other apps do not say publicly whether separate fees are allowed.

Should a new astrologer give free consultations?

Free first minutes are common, but check who pays for them: AstroSage pays astrologers nothing for free promotional minutes ⁷. Kismo's Increase Client Flow switch is optional; it gives new clients 5 free chat minutes, unpaid, in exchange for a faster route to first reviews.

Do experienced astrologers charge higher consultation fees?

Often, but not always. On Astroyogi's listing a 42-year astrologer charged Rs 125 a minute while a 25-year astrologer charged Rs 44 ², and on Astrotalk a Nadi astrologer with 1 year's experience charged Rs 18 ¹.

Is the consultation fee what the astrologer earns?

No. The fee is what the client pays; the astrologer receives a share of it, which most apps do not publish. Compare what is public on astrology app commission for astrologers.
