Compare astrology apps
Every major astrology app, side by side, on the four things that decide which one you should use: how you pay, who answers you, what it costs to ask again, and whether anyone will teach you the method.
What makes us different
No bias
When you speak to an astrologer on a competing app, you are not only hearing Vedic astrology. You are also hearing that person's view of how your life ought to be lived. AstroPal reads your chart and answers from it, and from nothing else.
Flat pricing
Apps that bill by the minute earn more the longer you stay on the call, so the incentive is to keep you hooked rather than to solve your problem. AstroPal charges one flat price, which means the only way we succeed is by answering your question properly.
Uniform quality
Elsewhere you first have to pick an astrologer, and the answer is only as good as that particular person's study and experience. Every AstroPal user gets the same depth of reading, which is why our ratings stay where they are.
Memory
AstroPal remembers your chart and every conversation you have had with it, so you never start from scratch or explain your situation twice. Each question you ask makes the next answer more specific to your life.
Try before you buy
We would rather you judged the product than the pitch, so free questions arrive daily and you can test AstroPal on your own chart for as long as you need before paying. Very few products in this category will let you do that.
Our mission
Free Academy courses, a free personalised rashifal, free charts for the people you add as friends, and plenty more besides. Our mission is to put astrology within everyone's reach rather than behind a paywall.

Everything included
It answers from your chart rather than from an individual astrologer's opinion, it charges one flat price so no meter can shape the advice, it gives every user the same quality of reading, and it remembers you, so the more you use it the more specific its answers get. On top of that, a good deal of it is free: daily questions, a free personalised rashifal, free reports and a free Academy.
Yes, and that is the part that compounds. Your chart and your history stay with your account, so you never re-explain your job, your marriage or the decision you were weighing last month. Each question you ask makes the next answer more specific to your life, which is something a fresh call with a stranger cannot do.
No, and that is deliberate. Routing you to a human is what creates per-minute billing, queue times and wide variance between one consultant and the next. AstroPal answers from your own chart, so the depth of the answer never depends on who happened to be online or how much they have studied.
Because there is no somebody. On a marketplace you are hearing Vedic astrology filtered through one person's view of how your life ought to be lived, and you have no way to separate the two. AstroPal reads the chart and answers from it, the same way for every user.
Free questions every day, so you can keep testing AstroPal on your own chart before you decide. Plus a personalised rashifal, a full Kundali and the baby name report, both free and both exportable to PDF, and the entire Academy, which does not even ask for an account.
Yes. Nothing needs to be exported or migrated. AstroPal only needs your birth date, exact time and place, which takes about a minute, and the free daily questions let you compare its reading against whatever you use today before you pay anything.
A free Kundali, 1 more report at no cost, and 8 Academy courses open without an account. No card required.
