Guides & Resources

Across the 242 advisor profiles we have audited on Kasamba, Purple Garden and Keen, the median listed rate is $4.99 per minute, so a focused 15-minute reading with a typical advisor costs about $75. Individual advisors list from $1.99 to $39.99 per minute depending on experience and format. See How much does a psychic reading cost? and psychic reading prices for the hidden costs.

Online psychic platforms are real businesses with real refund or credit policies, but no reading can guarantee an outcome and quality varies enormously by reader. Treat a reading as an outside perspective on a situation, not a prediction you can bank on. Our guides on whether psychics are real and how to tell if an online psychic is legitimate explain what to look for.

Walk away from anyone who diagnoses a curse or “dark energy” and offers a paid removal, guarantees an outcome, pressures you to keep the meter running, or asks to continue off the platform. The full list of warning signs is in How to spot a fake psychic.

Lead with one specific, answerable question rather than “what do you see in my future?”, and give as little backstory as you can so you can see what the reader picks up unaided. Good questions and the ones to avoid are in Questions to ask a psychic; if it is your first reading, start with the first reading guide.

A reader can describe the dynamics and the possibilities, not guarantee an outcome, so be wary of anyone who offers exact dates or certainty. Our guides cover the signs readers actually look for and how to use a reading during no contact.

A psychic offers intuitive insight into a person or situation, a medium focuses on communication with people who have died, and a tarot reader uses a card spread as a structured way into your question. They suit different questions; our comparison explains what each can and cannot do, and the free reader match picks one for your situation.

Sarah writes them from paid-account testing and audits of public advisor profiles, scored under published weights, and every guide carries its date. When prices, offers or advisor rates change, the affected guides are re-checked and re-dated.
