The 7 things that actually matter
- Accuracy you can defend — a real ephemeris (Swiss Ephemeris) with the Lahiri ayanamsa, validated against established standards, so a client who cross-checks finds you right.
- Your brand, not the vendor’s — reports a client receives should carry your name, not a free site’s watermark.
- Languages your clients read — India is not monolingual; delivering a report in the client’s own language is a real differentiator.
- Report depth & variety — beyond a basic chart: career timing, marriage, wealth, health, Sade Sati, Kundli Milan, year-ahead.
- Limits you can plan around — every tool meters volume somehow (monthly caps, credits, per-report fees); what matters is knowing the number up front and what topping up costs, so software never surprises your busiest month.
- Price that fits a practice — a flat annual cost beats per-report fees once you have a handful of clients a week.
- Ease — if it takes a developer to set up, it is built for software companies, not astrologers.

Competitor names, features and prices above are from each vendor’s own public pages as of mid-2026 and are often promotional (e.g. Dhruv’s Platinum tier is frequently shown at "33% off"). They change — always check the current offer before deciding. GrahAI is not affiliated with AstroSage, IIAG, Prokerala or AstrologyAPI; this comparison is for orientation only.
Where GrahAI Practitioner fits
GrahAI was built for the solo astrologer and matchmaker, not the developer. A flat ₹24,999/year grants a full year of credits up front — 150 full-length Swiss-Ephemeris-grade reports across 500+ types, 50 Kundli Milan matches, and 100 face and 100 palm readings — each branded with your name and deliverable in 9 Indian languages: Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam and English. Run out and a recharge pack tops you up. There is nothing to install and no code to write: enter the birth details, pick the report and language, hand your client a branded PDF.
If that is the shape of your practice, the plan page shows every tool and the full price, and you can make one report free under your own name before paying. Kundli software for astrologers: see the Practitioner plan →
A note on accuracy
GrahAI’s engine uses the Swiss Ephemeris with the Lahiri ayanamsa and has been validated point-by-point against established Vedic references. Birth-place timezone is derived automatically from coordinates, so charts are right wherever your client was born — India or abroad.
