Quick answers: Getting Started
What should I know before my first psychic reading?
Choose the reader by the kind of question, use the free or intro minutes as an audition with one specific question, and set a spending limit before the meter starts. End the session if you hear a curse or “dark energy” diagnosis, a guaranteed outcome, pressure to stay on the clock, or a request to move off the platform. Start with 13 things to know before you pay and the first reading guide.
How much does a psychic reading cost?
Across the 242 advisor profiles we have audited, 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. See How much does a psychic reading cost? for the hidden costs.
Is there such a thing as a free psychic reading?
Usually “free” means introductory minutes or credit rather than a full reading. New-client offers right now: Kasamba: 3 free minutes + 50% off; Purple Garden: $30 free credit; Keen: 5 minutes for $1. What “free reading” really means separates real offers from data harvesting, and the terms are on our coupons page.
