Astrology apps compared: which one fits how you read the stars (2026)

There’s no single best astrology app. Co-Star is built for a quick daily nudge and a feed of your friends. CHANI is built around one astrologer’s writing and voice. Astro.com and Cafe Astrology give away serious chart tools. Sanctuary and Nebula connect you to a live advisor, billed by the minute. Labyrinthos teaches tarot. My Horoscope, which is ours, writes long personal readings and keeps tarot and dream interpretation in the same account.

So this page doesn’t crown a winner. It sorts 13 services by the job each one does, with the prices and limits we could verify on November 13, 2026. Here’s the short version:

First, the part you should know: we make one of the services on this list. My Horoscope is our product, and we wrote this page ourselves. That’s why it has no ranking and no scores.

What we checked. For each service: platforms, what’s free, the lowest paid price and its billing period, whether readings are personalized from a full birth chart, tarot, dream interpretation, live human advisors, and ads.

Where. Each company’s own website and help center, its US App Store listing (in-app purchase list, rating, privacy label), and its Google Play listing. Prices are US prices in dollars.

When. November 13, 2026. Store ratings and prices below are as of that date.

What we didn’t do. We didn’t rate anyone’s astrology. Whether a reading feels right is personal. We also didn’t fill gaps from memory. Where we couldn’t confirm something from a primary source, the table says “not confirmed.” Apple shows in-app prices without a billing period unless the product name includes one, so a few prices have no period we can state. One well-known site, Astro-Seek, is missing because we couldn’t open it on the day we checked, and we won’t describe a service we couldn’t verify.

Scroll sideways on a phone. “Lowest paid price” is the lowest recurring price we found, with the period where the listing shows one. Quoted names are the product names from the App Store.

“None found” means we found no ad-network scripts on the service’s site and no “Contains ads” flag on Google Play. We didn’t run every app to look for in-app ads.

Co-Star

Co-Star is a social astrology app: a personalized daily horoscope, your chart, and compatibility with friends. It’s free for the core experience, which by its App Store description covers your chart, friends, the daily horoscope, and push notifications. It calculates with what it calls “data from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory,” and it describes its text as written by “real human astrologers who collaborate with AI technology.”

As of November 13, 2026, it holds 4.8 from 205,820 ratings on the US App Store, the largest rating base on this list. Paid items include “Pro-Star monthly” at $8.99 and adding a person who doesn’t have the app (“Add Manually,” $2.99). You sign up with a phone number or an Apple account. It’s English only, and it has no tarot, dreams, or human advisors. Some recent App Store reviews praise the friends feature, and some mention a gloomy tone in the daily text.

Also consider: Horoscope.com for sun-sign horoscopes with no login

If all you want is today’s horoscope for your sign, Horoscope.com gives you that on the web without an account: daily, love, career, money, and health horoscopes, plus many free tarot readings and games. The site carries ads. Its free birth chart form asks for an email. The iOS app, “Astrology Plus,” has a $4.99 monthly subscription and was last updated on September 12, 2024. It holds 4.7 from 6,549 App Store ratings as of November 13, 2026.

CHANI

CHANI is the app and site of astrologer Chani Nicholas. Its position is clear: “written by astrologers, not ai.” The free tier is strong, with daily horoscopes, Moon readings, a birth chart overview, a weekly podcast, and a tarot card of the week. Premium is $11.99 a month after a 14-day trial, or $107.99 a year after a 30-day trial, and adds full chart readings, personalized transits, a weekly rising-sign reading, meditations, and courses. It uses whole sign houses.

As of November 13, 2026, it has 4.9 from 60,465 App Store ratings, one of the two highest in this set. It doesn’t offer compatibility readings, tarot spreads, dream interpretation, or any chat.

Astrology Zone

Astrology Zone is Susan Miller’s home: long monthly forecasts and short daily horoscopes for the 12 signs. The free version includes both and shows ads. The App Store lists subscriptions at $6.99 a month, $17.99 for three months, and $59.99 a year. It’s sun-sign astrology by design, so there’s no personal chart, no transits, and no tarot. It holds 4.7 from 35,380 App Store ratings as of November 13, 2026.

TimePassages

TimePassages, from AstroGraph Software, is chart software with interpretations by astrologer Henry Seltzer. Its store description says, “Every interpretation is written by real, experienced astrologers. Not AI.” It goes further into technique than most apps: transits, progressions, synastry, and composite charts, on iOS, Android, and desktop. “TimePassages Pro Monthly” is $7.99 and the annual plan is $59.99.

One caution: the store description says the birth chart and daily horoscope are always free, while several App Store reviews from October and November 2026 say they now require payment. We couldn’t settle that, so check the app. It has 4.8 from 44,180 App Store ratings as of November 13, 2026.

Astro.com

Astro.com is run by Astrodienst AG, near Zurich, registered as a company in 1983. It’s the reference site for chart work: free chart drawing with an extended chart selection, a free personal daily horoscope, a daily love horoscope, a weekly horoscope, short reports, and ephemerides. Astrodienst also publishes the Swiss Ephemeris, the calculation library much of the industry relies on, ours included. Its interpretations are assembled by computer from texts by named astrologers such as Liz Greene and Robert Hand.

The free site shows ads. The ad-free plan with storage for 2,000 charts is $12.90 for a year, and the extended daily horoscope is $6.95 for one month with no automatic renewal. It comes in 12 languages. We found no official app, and it has no tarot, dreams, or chat.

Cafe Astrology

Cafe Astrology is the personal site of Annie Heese, with a footer that reads “© 2002-2026.” It offers a free natal chart report, a free transit report, and a free compatibility report from two sets of birth data, on top of sign horoscopes and a very large article library. Placidus is its default house system. There’s no subscription. Paid computer reports are one-off purchases delivered by email, from $2.95 for a daily forecast report on sale to $9.95 for a package, with most at $4.95 to $5.95.

It’s web only and, by its own statement, shows Google ads. There’s no app, no notifications, and no chat.

The Pattern

The Pattern turns a birth chart into personality, timing, and relationship insights written without astrology jargon. Its relationship feature, Bonds, works with friends in the app or with a custom profile you create for someone who doesn’t have an account. There’s also a dating feature called Connect, a journal, audio content, and an in-app chat called In-Depth. Its help center says its charts use the “Whole House” system.

Free covers your Pattern, daily updates, and three Bonds a day. “Go Deeper+” is $14.99 a month, $29.99 a quarter, or $83.99 a year. It has no sun-sign horoscopes, tarot, or dreams, and on the web there’s only a natal chart form. As of November 13, 2026, it holds 4.0 from 15,926 App Store ratings.

Most astrology apps, ours included, don’t put a person on the other end. These two do, and you pay by the minute.

Sanctuary

Sanctuary is a marketplace for live psychic, tarot, and astrology readings by chat or call, with free horoscopes and a free interactive birth chart alongside. Its FAQ gives advisor rates of $4.99 to $19.99 per minute, and says you can ask for a refund within two days of a session. Sanctuary+ ($14.99 a month or $49.99 a year) adds expanded horoscopes, a yearly forecast, and an unlimited compatibility calculator, and by its FAQ can only be bought in the iOS app. It holds 4.8 from 44,138 App Store ratings as of November 13, 2026.

Nebula

Nebula started as an astrology app in 2019 and added an advisor marketplace in 2022. Today it pairs free daily horoscopes, a free natal chart, compatibility checks, tarot, and palm reading with paid chats with advisors. Its homepage showed rates from $2 to $4.99 per minute. The App Store lists “Premium subscription” prices from $2.99 to $49.99 without billing periods, so we can’t tell you what a month costs. The app is available in 27 languages, and it holds 4.6 from 170,938 App Store ratings as of November 13, 2026.

Its App Store privacy label declares data used for third-party advertising and tracking. Its own disclaimer describes readings as “for entertainment and self-reflection purposes.”

A practical note on per-minute pricing: at $4.99 a minute, a 20-minute conversation is about $100. Set a budget before you start.

Labyrinthos

Labyrinthos is a tarot learning app from a tarot deck publisher. By its App Store description, the free tier includes readings with more than 70 spreads, all of its own decks, lessons and quizzes, and a reading journal. You can build custom spreads, and it also covers Lenormand and runes. Paid options include “Premium” at $9.99 (period not shown) or $24.99 a quarter, and credits for computer-generated readings. It has 4.9 from 23,093 App Store ratings as of November 13, 2026. It doesn’t do horoscopes or birth charts.

Dream Moods

Dream Moods is a free A to Z dream dictionary on the web, with articles on dream theory and forums. No account, no payment, and ads on the page. It describes most of its interpretations as coming “from a psychological perspective or Freudian view.” It’s a lookup tool, so it doesn’t interpret a whole dream you type in. Its homepage showed “Last Updated: January 1, 2020” when we checked.

My Horoscope

This one is ours, so read it with that in mind. My Horoscope is a web app that calculates your birth chart from your birth date, time, and place with the Swiss Ephemeris and Placidus houses, then writes readings from it. The free Seeker plan has the daily horoscope for your sign, one tarot card of the day with a reading, a 100-entry dream dictionary, and the basics of a numerology tool called the destiny matrix. There are no ads.

The paid plans are flat monthly prices. Star, $4.49, adds personal daily, weekly, and monthly horoscopes and 5 in-depth tarot readings a month. Cosmos, $7.49, adds the birth chart with a long written reading, personal transits, palm reading, and 15 tarot readings. Oracle, $9.49, adds 5 dream interpretations a month and a morning message from Astra, a digital astrology guide you can also chat with. Extra readings are $1.99 each.

Now the limits, stated as plainly as we stated everyone else’s. It isn’t in the App Store or on Google Play. You add it to your home screen from the browser. The English version is new in 2026, so it has no English-language track record or store rating to point to. The team is small and independent. The readings are generated by software from calculated chart data, with no astrologer writing them by hand, so if a human voice matters most to you, CHANI or TimePassages is the better fit. There are no live advisors, no social feed, and no lessons.

What the facts support: as far as we could verify, it’s the only service here that combines chart-based personal horoscopes, written tarot readings, and personal dream interpretation in a single subscription under $10 a month. You can see how we calculate everything before you sign up.

Five questions sort most people in about a minute.

• Do you want a person or a program? If you want to talk to a human, look at Sanctuary or Nebula and budget by the minute. If you want a human author’s writing, look at CHANI, Astrology Zone, or TimePassages. Most other services, ours included, generate text by software.
• Sun sign or full chart? Sun-sign horoscopes are one text per sign. Chart-based ones use your birth date, time, and place. If you don’t know your birth time, a full-chart app can still work, but the rising sign and houses will be missing.
• How will you pay? Monthly subscriptions with a stated period here run from $4.49 to $14.99. Astro.com and Cafe Astrology charge little or nothing. Check the billing period before you tap, because store listings don’t always show it.
• Do ads bother you? Several free sites pay their way with advertising.
• What else do you want in the same place? Tarot, dreams, palm reading, journaling, audio, and community are spread unevenly. The table above shows who has what.

Two guides help with the judgment calls: personal horoscope vs Sun sign and how to tell an honest horoscope. Whatever you pick, treat astrology as reflection and entertainment. It isn’t medical, legal, or financial advice, and no app can tell you what will happen.

Each of these services is good at the thing it was built for. Co-Star has the daily habit and the friends. CHANI has the voice. Astro.com has the tools. Sanctuary and Nebula have the people. Labyrinthos has the lessons. We have long personal readings with tarot and dreams attached.

Most of them have a free tier. Try two that match how you’d use one, for a week, before you pay for anything.

• Daily horoscope: today for every sign, free
• Birth chart: what a chart shows and how we calculate it
• Tarot reading: a free card of the day and member spreads
• Dream dictionary: 100 common dream themes
• Membership: plans, limits, and prices
