Vedic astrology only, so the engineering goes into Jyotisha depth
Flat monthly pricing with no per-minute meter anywhere
12 vargas, planetary strength and dated Vimshottari periods
11 written reports, 4 free forever, saved and exportable
Where Astroyogi falls short
Breadth comes at the cost of depth in any single system
Per-minute billing on every session, with the usual incentive problem
No standardised calculation and nothing saved to your account
In fairness, what Astroyogi does well
Wide choice of consultants across several divination systems
Available around the clock with short queues
Useful if you specifically want tarot or numerology rather than Jyotisha
Astroyogi is a live consultation marketplace spanning Vedic astrology, tarot, numerology, palmistry and Vastu, available by chat and call and billed per minute. Breadth is the explicit proposition.
The four pillars
AstroPal vs Astroyogi, one question at a time.
Accuracy: what actually computes the chart
AstroPal
AstroPal computes every chart with the Swiss Ephemeris in the sidereal zodiac. Lahiri is the default ayanamsa, with Raman, KP and Krishnamurti selectable. Twelve divisional charts from D1 to D30, planetary strength and the full Vimshottari mahadasha and antardasha tree are calculated for every birth, not just the D1.
A platform covering five divination systems cannot invest deeply in the astronomy any one of them needs, and Jyotisha needs a lot of it. AstroPal does one system: Swiss Ephemeris computation, sidereal, four ayanamsa options, 12 divisional charts from D1 to D30, planetary strength and the full Vimshottari dasha tree. Narrow, and considerably deeper for it.
Price: what it costs when you actually use it
AstroPal
One flat monthly price, and then nothing further. No per-minute meter, no per-report checkout, no charge for a follow-up question. The Kundali, Kundali Milan, Varshphal and baby name reports are free for everyone, PDF export included, and the entire Academy is open without an account.
Per-minute billing across every system, which means the incentive to extend a session is the same whether you are getting a chart reading or a tarot spread. AstroPal is flat: one monthly price, unlimited questions, no charge for asking again.
Reports: what you get in writing, and get to keep
AstroPal
Eleven full-length Vedic reports covering career, wealth, health, marriage, relationships, muhurat, numerology and Varshphal. Four are free forever. Every one is saved to your account, reopenable months later, and exports to PDF straight from the browser, with unlimited follow-up questions included.
Consultations end and leave nothing behind. AstroPal ships 11 written reports, four free forever, saved to your account and exportable to PDF, so the reading survives the session.
Academy: whether anyone will teach you the method
AstroPal
Eight structured courses with ordered modules, lessons and quizzes, free and open without an account. They run from reading a first birth chart through yogas, Saade Sati, the Vimshottari dasha tree, nakshatras and planetary strength, so you can check the reasoning behind any answer rather than trusting it.
Astroyogi publishes article content but no structured course, because teaching any one of its five systems properly would cost more than it earns. AstroPal gives away 8 free Vedic courses with lessons and quizzes, which is what a single-system product can afford to do.
The reports
11 reports you keep. Astroyogi gives you none of them.
Every one is computed from your own chart, saved to your account, and downloadable as a PDF. Four are free forever; the rest are included with a paid plan.
Scroll for all 11. Kundali, Kundali Milan, Varshphal and the baby name report are free for everyone.

Choose AstroPal if
You want the chart computed with a named ephemeris you can check
You want one flat price that does not move with how much you ask
You want reports you keep, reopen and export to PDF
You want to learn the method rather than take an answer on trust
Choose Astroyogi only if
You specifically want tarot, palmistry, numerology or Vastu rather than Jyotisha
You want to speak to a human and are comfortable with per-minute rates
The verdict
AstroPal takes one system to real depth at a price that does not move with usage: 12 divisional charts, planetary strength, the full Vimshottari tree, 11 reports with 4 free, and a free Academy. Astroyogi offers five divination systems on per-minute billing, which buys breadth at the cost of depth in every one of them.
AstroPal vs Astroyogi: common questions
Does AstroPal do tarot or numerology?
There is a Vedic numerology report and a full numerology course in the Academy, because numerology sits inside the Indian tradition. There is no tarot and no palmistry, deliberately. AstroPal is built to be excellent at Jyotisha rather than adequate at five systems.
Why avoid per-minute billing?
Because it pays the person answering more the longer the conversation runs. Nobody needs to act in bad faith for that to shape a call. AstroPal is flat monthly, so asking again costs nothing and a short clear answer is not penalised.
What does Vedic depth actually mean here?
Twelve divisional charts from D1 to D30 rather than the D1 alone, planetary strength calculation, the full Vimshottari mahadasha and antardasha tree with dated timing charts, and a selectable ayanamsa across Lahiri, Raman, KP and Krishnamurti.
