Kismo vs MyPandit

MyPandit or Kismo: which app should I use to talk to an astrologer?

Q: Is MyPandit free chat really free?

MyPandit offers the first call or chat free to new users . Its pages do not say how long the free session lasts, and later sessions are paid per minute from a wallet . Before you start, ask the astrologer or check the app for the rate that applies after the free part ends.

Q: Does MyPandit have astrologers who speak Hindi?

MyPandit's website can be read in Hindi , but the pages we opened did not list the languages its astrologers consult in. Kismo is an app where you talk to verified Vedic astrologers by chat or call, in 16 languages, and it works online from anywhere in India and abroad.

Short answer

MyPandit suits you if you also want to buy a gemstone, a rudraksha or book a puja in the same place, and it gives the first chat or call free. Kismo suits you if you want to see the rate before you start: each astrologer sets one rate for chat and call, from ₹15 a minute, and the first session carries 5 free minutes with no card. MyPandit's pages we opened did not show a per-minute rate.

Key differences

What are the main differences?

How much does MyPandit charge per minute?

MyPandit's per-minute rate was not shown on its consult page or its App Store listing when we checked on 4 November 2026 ²³. Its terms say chat and call are billed per minute ⁵, so check the rate on the astrologer's card before you start. On Kismo each astrologer shows one rate for chat and call, from ₹15 a minute.

Is the first chat on MyPandit really free?

MyPandit's first call or chat is free, according to its home page and App Store listing ¹³. Neither page says how many minutes the free session lasts. Kismo's first session carries 5 free minutes with no card needed, so you know when the free part ends.

Can I get a refund on MyPandit?

MyPandit's refund policy says paid talk-time minutes are not refundable under any circumstances ⁴. Pujas and products can be cancelled by email within 48 hours of payment ⁴. On Kismo there is no refund for a reading you did not like, but only the minutes you use are charged and the rest stays in the wallet.

Does MyPandit sell pujas and gemstones?

MyPandit sells gemstones, yantras, rudraksha and zodiac pendants and takes online puja bookings ¹. Kismo sells none of these. If an astrologer on any app suggests a paid remedy, ask a second astrologer about it before you pay.

By situation

Which one for which situation?

Someone said you are manglik
Whether mangal dosha applies depends on where Mars sits and on cancellation rules. Ask an astrologer to read both charts before any puja is booked.
You were told to wear a gemstone
A gemstone suggestion is worth checking with a second astrologer before you buy one, on any app or shop.
You have two kundlis to match
A guna score alone can hide doshas. A person reads both charts together and explains the score in plain words.
You are in sade sati
Sade sati is read differently depending on your Moon sign and the phase. Ask what it means for your chart before paying for any remedy.
You want to talk in Hindi
Some questions are easier in the language you think in. Talk to an astrologer in Hindi by chat or call.

Method

How did we compare them?

We opened MyPandit's own pages on 4 November 2026: the home page, the talk-to-astrologers page, the kundli page, the refund and cancellation policy, the terms of service and the My Pandit listing on the App Store in India. MyPandit's Google Play listing did not open for us, so no Play figure is used. Anything MyPandit's pages did not state, including a per-minute rate, is marked Not stated. Kismo facts are our own. We re-check every row every three months; write to support@kismo.app if one is out of date.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Is MyPandit real or fake?

What is a good MyPandit app review to trust?

A useful review names the rate paid, the session length and what was asked. On the App Store in India, My Pandit had a 3.8 rating from 574 ratings in November 2026 ³. Read the low-star reviews too: they usually describe billing and refunds, which matter more than the overall score.

Can I get my money back from MyPandit if I did not like the reading?

No, MyPandit's refund policy says paid talk-time minutes are not refundable ⁴, and its terms say calls are not refundable once connected ⁵. Failed payments are refunded to the source account in 6 to 7 working days, per its consult page ². Kismo also gives no refund for a reading you did not like, but charges only the minutes used.

How does paying work on Kismo compared with MyPandit?

Both apps use a wallet and bill chat and call by the minute ⁵. On Kismo each astrologer sets one rate for chat and call, from ₹15 a minute, billed per started minute, with a minimum top-up of ₹100.

An astrologer told me to book a puja. How do I know it is needed?

Ask a second astrologer to read the same birth details before you pay for any ritual. Pressure, a deadline or a promised result are red flags on any platform. MyPandit sells online pujas ¹; Kismo sells none, and after a session it suggests up to three other astrologers for a second opinion.
