Astrology apps in India, ranked by what they cost you

Eight apps where you can chat or call a real astrologer, compared on the things reviews complain about: the free part, the per-minute rate and whether it changes, how the astrologers are checked, and whether somebody tries to sell you a gemstone.

How we ranked them, and a disclosure

This list is published by Kismo, so we are on it. We put ourselves first for the reasons in the entry and tried to make the other seven something their own teams would sign off on. Prices were read from each app's public pages on 22 September 2026; store numbers are AppBrain snapshots; complaints come from Trustpilot, MouthShut and the app stores.

1. Kismo

For trying a verified astrologer without paying firstOur app
Chat from₹15/min
First sessionFree, no card
VerificationFour steps
Play Store4.7

A free first session with a verified astrologer, no card, then one per-minute rate that is the same for chat and call and does not change after you top up. Every astrologer has passed a qualification review, a panel interview, live audits and a 30-day probation, and replies in about nine seconds on average. There are no gemstones or products for sale, only a few remedies at one fixed price. Rated 4.7 on Google Play.

Good
  • Free first session, counted on screen
  • Chat pauses for a top-up instead of ending
  • Support handled by Kismo, not the astrologer
  • UPI, cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay
Not so good
  • Astrologers set their own rate, so a popular one costs more than the ₹15 entry
  • No gemstones or products, so if you want a stone you will have to go elsewhere

2. Astrotalk

For choice: a large pool of astrologers online at any hour
Chat₹20 to ₹61/min
First session"Free", length not stated
Remedies shopAstroMall
Play Store4.7 · 100M+

Running since 2017 with a very large pool of astrologers. Vetting is real: ID, credentials, a live interview and a 30-day probation. The trade-offs are the AstroMall upsell, a Trustpilot score currently withheld after fake reviews were removed, and a long tail of billing complaints.

Good
  • Someone online in 13+ languages, always
  • Mature free kundli and matching tools
Not so good
  • Gemstone and puja upsell inside the app
  • Refund and duplicate-charge complaints

3. AstroSage

For free kundli tools; consults are a side business
Human astrologersAbout ₹20 to ₹125/min
First session1 min free, wallet must cover 5
Headline productAI astrologer
Play Store4.6 · 50M+

Widely used free chart software, with human consults bolted on and an AI astrologer now leading the marketing. The first minute of every call is free, but your wallet must already cover five minutes with the astrologer you picked. Reviewers describe chats cut when the balance runs low and rates that rise after first contact.

Good
  • Very deep free kundli, dasha and transit tools
  • 13 Indian languages
Not so good
  • Chat cuts when the balance runs low
  • Rate reported to rise after first contact

4. Astroyogi

For English speakers abroad
Chat₹18 to ₹45/min
First sessionFirst chat free
Remedies shopYes
Play Store4.0 · 10M+

Running since 2001, serves 173 countries and reads well in English. Rates are moderate. Complaints centre on dropped calls still billed and refunds returned only to a wallet you cannot withdraw.

Good
  • Long track record, live streams
Not so good
  • Lowest Play rating among the older names
  • Refunds go to a non-withdrawable wallet
AA

5. Anytime Astro

Very low listed entry rates
Chat₹5 to ₹10/min entry
First session"Free", length not stated
Remedies shopYes, plus pujas
Play Store4.6

Rates on the profile start very low. The reviews say what happens next: the rate rises after the first recharge, and astrologers re-ask your birth details to run the clock. Sessions are measured by wallet balance, not minutes.

Good
  • 23 languages claimed
Not so good
  • Rate rises after recharge
  • Scam Detector rates the site "questionable"

6. InstaAstro

Heavily advertised, weak store rating
Chat"From ₹15/min"
First session₹1, not free
Remedies shopInsta Store
Play Store4.0 · 8M+

Well advertised, with live sessions and a store. The first chat costs ₹1 rather than nothing. The 4.0 on Play is earned by the same pattern: a low price shown until the wallet is loaded, a clock that runs while the astrologer types, and copy-paste support.

Good
  • Cheap first chat
Not so good
  • Rate changes after top-up
  • "Server overload" with minutes still deducted

7. Guruji

For free live streams
ChatUnclear (site mixes $ and ₹)
First sessionFree
Remedies shopYes
Play Store4.7 · 31k ratings

About 200 astrologers and a live-stream format where you tip to get your question answered. Growth has stalled and the pricing page is hard to read; check the rate in the app before you recharge.

Good
  • Free streams, tip to ask
Not so good
  • Pricing page mixes dollars and rupees
  • Small pool

8. GaneshaSpeaks

For written reports, not live chat
ChatNot shown before recharge
First sessionNone free
Remedies shopYes, inside reports too
Trustpilot3.8

A report-first business from the Bejan Daruwalla lineage. Good if you want a written yearly forecast. The live consult hides its rates until you have paid in, and reviewers call the reports generic with remedies pushed inside them.

Good
  • Written yearly forecasts
Not so good
  • Rates hidden until you recharge
  • Remedies sold inside paid reports

Questions people ask

Which astrology app has a free first session?

Kismo's first session is free with no card. Astrotalk, Astroyogi, Anytime Astro and Guruji advertise a free first chat without stating a length. AstroSage gives one free minute if your wallet covers five. InstaAstro charges ₹1. GaneshaSpeaks has no free consult.

Why do rates change after a top-up on some apps?

Several apps show an introductory rate to new users and the astrologer's normal rate once credit is loaded. It is a frequent complaint in the reviews of InstaAstro, Anytime Astro and AstroSage. Kismo has no introductory rates.

How are Kismo astrologers verified?

Four steps: a qualification review, a panel interview, live audits of real sessions and a 30-day probation. An astrologer stays only while their sessions hold up.
