Reply within one business day · Navi Mumbai team · Website, app and admin under one roof
The customer app, the astrologer app, the website and the admin panel, all running on one wallet and one set of records.
A fast, search-friendly site that brings in people looking for horoscopes and panchang, then moves them to a paid consultation.
Android and iOS apps for customers, plus a separate app for astrologers to go online, take sessions and see earnings.
Sell remedies and services, and run the whole platform from one admin screen.
For many astrology businesses in India, paid consultations on the phone now matter more than walk-in visits. A customer opens an app at 11 at night, picks an astrologer who speaks Marathi or Hindi, recharges a wallet with Rs 200 by UPI, and chats for eight minutes about a job change. To run that well you need four pieces working together: a customer app, an astrologer app, a website that attracts free traffic, and an admin panel that tracks every rupee and every minute.
This page is for three kinds of people. An established astrologer or jyotish family who wants their own branded app instead of sitting on a large marketplace. A founder building a network of 20 to 200 astrologers. And temples, puja service providers and gemstone sellers who want consultations to feed their store.
The free tools matter as much as the paid ones. Kundli generation, daily rashifal, panchang, choghadiya and kundli matching are what people search for every day. Done properly, they bring repeat visits at no ad cost. A platform that only sells consultations has to buy every customer through ads.
Infoways is a web, app and software company in Mahape, Navi Mumbai. We build astrology platforms for clients across India, from a single astrologer’s website to a multi-astrologer app with live billing. You can see our wider mobile app development work for how we approach apps in general.
Issues that appear once real users and astrologers arrive.
Customers say the chat ended early or the astrologer delayed replies. Server-side timers, a running balance on screen and auto-end when the wallet runs out settle this, with the full log in admin.
Big apps keep a large cut of each session and own the customer. Your own app keeps the customer, the chat history and the repeat booking with you.
Sharing phone numbers in chat moves clients outside. Masked calling and a filter that blocks numbers and links in chat keep sessions on the platform.
Calculating each astrologer’s share in Excel every week causes errors and delays. The admin panel works out earnings per session, deducts commission and produces a payout file.
One rude or careless astrologer hurts the brand. Ratings per session, admin review of flagged chats and a test session before approval protect quality.
Demand peaks late at night and around festivals and eclipses. Online status, queue and waitlist screens show where you are short and who to bring online.
Tell us how many astrologers you plan to start with and whether you need chat, call or video. We will send a scope and a typical cost range.
Most astrologers move through these stages. Here is what each one gives you.
| Factor | Listing on a big marketplace | Own website with booking | Own app with live sessions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who owns the customer | The marketplace | You | You |
| How you get paid | Their share first, your share later | Paid booking by UPI or gateway | Prepaid wallet, billed per minute |
| Chat, call and video | Their system | Booked slots, call or video link | Live, on demand, by the minute |
| Free tools (kundli, panchang) | Theirs, their brand | Yes, on your site | Yes, in app and on site |
| Good for | Testing demand alone | One astrologer or a small family practice | A network of astrologers |
| Typical build cost | No build cost | Rs 1-4 lakh | Rs 4-12 lakh for a lean version; Rs 12-40 lakh or more for a full multi-astrologer platform |
Ranges are typical, GST extra, and depend on scope. See app development cost in India for how each feature adds up.
Say you run a network of 40 astrologers from Pune, covering Vedic, KP, tarot and numerology, in Hindi, Marathi and English. These numbers are only to show the flow. A customer in Nagpur installs your app from a rashifal page she found on Google. She enters her birth date, time and place once, and the app draws her kundli in seconds. A banner offers the first three minutes free with any astrologer marked as a new joiner.
She recharges Rs 300 by UPI. The wallet shows Rs 300 plus a small bonus you set for first recharges. She picks a Marathi-speaking astrologer at Rs 25 a minute and taps Start Chat. The astrologer’s app rings. When he accepts, the timer starts on the server, and her birth chart opens on his screen next to the chat, so he does not have to ask for details again.
The chat runs eleven minutes. At minute nine, the app warns her that two minutes of balance remain and offers a quick recharge. She ends the chat at minute eleven, rates the session, and the system deducts Rs 275 minus the free minutes. The astrologer suggests a Rahu shanti puja; she books it from the store inside the same app, and the temple partner later uploads a short video of the puja being done in her name.
On Monday, the admin panel adds up the week for every astrologer: minutes served, gross earnings, your commission, any refunds approved by support, and the net payable. Accounts downloads the payout file and pays by bank transfer, and each astrologer sees the same numbers in his earnings screen.
We write down your per-minute rates, free-minute offers, commission split, refund rules and payout cycle before any screen is designed. These rules decide most of the build.
We set up the calculation engine for kundli, dasha, matching and panchang, choose the ayanamsa you follow (usually Lahiri), and check its output against charts your astrologers trust.
Customer screens for browsing, recharging and chatting; astrologer screens for going online and handling sessions. Both are tested with real astrologers on low-cost Android phones.
We build the apps, website and admin panel, then test billing hard: dropped networks, app killed mid-call, zero balance, two sessions at once, and refunds.
We publish on Google Play and the App Store. Apple reviews astrology apps strictly, so we plan the app around real, useful features from day one.
Rashifal pages, festival content and local SEO bring free traffic; we can also run ads and WhatsApp campaigns for recharge offers.
A website for a single astrologer, with profile, services, paid booking, free kundli and a rashifal blog, falls in the typical business website range of Rs 1-4 lakh. A lean app where customers recharge a wallet and chat or call a small group of astrologers by the minute is a mid-complexity build, typically Rs 4-12 lakh. A full platform with many astrologers, chat, call and video, live queues, a puja store, multiple languages and a detailed payout system is a real-time marketplace, typically Rs 12-40 lakh or more. All figures are GST extra and depend on scope.
Three things push the cost up most. Video adds media servers and more testing. Each extra language adds translated content for every rashifal and every screen. And a store with physical products adds stock, shipping and returns. What brings the cost down: starting with chat and call only, launching on Android first, and adding the store after your consultations are steady.
Expect about 3-4 months for a lean app and 5-8 months for a full platform, with most of the risk in billing and calculation accuracy. Plan for yearly upkeep of around 15-25% of the build cost, covering servers, telephony, app updates and support. Our guides on how long it takes to build an app and app development cost in India go deeper.
Do not build a full app if you do not yet have astrologers ready to go online at night. An app with nobody online when a customer opens it loses that customer for good. If you are one astrologer or a family practice, start with a website, paid booking and WhatsApp follow-ups, and build the app when you have steady repeat clients.
Do not copy a marketplace feature list line by line. You do not need live streaming, gifting and a hundred filters on day one. You do need billing that never overcharges, birth details that are saved correctly with the right time zone, and payouts that match. Get those right first.
Keep claims careful. Write your remedies and predictions as guidance, avoid promising guaranteed results, and keep a clear refund policy and terms. On iOS, how wallet recharges are taken must be planned against Apple’s payment rules, and we check this before the build starts. For tax on astrologer payouts and your commission, take advice from your CA early, because the admin reports should be built around the fields they need.
Whether you need a booking website or a full multi-astrologer app, we will tell you honestly which one to build first.
Yes. The customer recharges a wallet, and the server deducts your per-minute rate while the session runs. The app shows the running balance, warns before it runs out and ends the session at zero, so there is no unpaid time.
A closed-loop wallet, where the balance can only be spent inside your own app and cannot be withdrawn or sent to others, does not need an RBI prepaid payment instrument licence. If you want customers to withdraw money or pay other merchants, that changes, and you should take advice first.
We use an established ephemeris for planet positions and calculate for the exact birth place and time zone. We let you choose the ayanamsa and chart style, and we test the output against charts your own astrologers have made before launch.
Yes. Astrologers apply in their app, upload ID and bank details, and set languages and skills. Your admin team approves them, often after a test session, and sets their per-minute rate.
The admin panel adds up each astrologer’s session earnings for the payout cycle you choose, deducts your commission and any approved refunds, and gives you a payout file. Your CA should advise on tax deductions, and we build the report fields to match.
No. Calls go through masked numbers, and the chat can block phone numbers, links and social handles. This keeps both sides safe and keeps the session on your platform.
Yes. Physical products go through a normal cart with shipping, and pujas can be booked with the devotee’s name and gotra, with a photo or video uploaded once the puja is done.
Apple is strict with astrology and similar apps and rejects thin ones. An app with real features such as live sessions, accurate charts and saved profiles stands a much better chance. We plan the iOS release with this in mind.
Yes. The screens, rashifal content and astrologer filters can all be multilingual. Each language adds content and testing time, so many clients start with two and add more later.
You do. The code, store accounts, servers and data are set up in your name. Birth details are personal data, so we build consent, access control and deletion requests in line with the DPDP Act 2023.
