Free vs Pro: What You Actually Get at Each Depth Level

A transparent breakdown of what our Free, Starter, and Pro tiers reveal about your chart -- with real examples showing the difference in depth.

Why Different Depths Exist

Not everyone needs the same level of analysis. If you're curious about your Sun sign's meaning, a surface-level reading works fine. But if you're trying to time a career move, understand a health pattern, or assess marriage compatibility -- you need the kind of depth that takes a professional astrologer hours. Our tier system matches the analysis depth to your needs.

Here's exactly what you see at each level.

Free Tier: The Foundation

What you get:

  • Full birth chart computation (D1 Rashi chart + D9 Navamsha)
  • All 9 planetary positions with sign, nakshatra, house, and dignity
  • Yoga detection (you see how many yogas your chart has)
  • Vimshottari Dasha timeline (your complete life period sequence)
  • Life domain scores (Wealth, Career, Fame, Health, Relationships on a visual bar)
  • Current Dasha period identification
  • Overview paragraph summarizing your chart
  • 3 AI consultation questions

What the AI sounds like (Free tier):

"The next 18 months look strong for career growth. Two major planetary cycles are supporting your professional house, and there's a window opening around mid-2027 where recognition is likely. Your chart has some genuinely powerful combinations for leadership -- focus on building systems now."

Notice: no jargon, no system names, just practical guidance. This is designed for people who don't know (or don't care about) the technical astrology. You get real insight without needing to understand what a "Vimshottari Mahadasha" is.

What's locked (shown blurred with upgrade prompt):

  • KP System analysis
  • Predictions engine (128+ classical rules across 8 life domains)
  • Transit analysis (current planetary weather affecting your chart)

  • Muhurta (best dates for important activities)
  • Forward Transit Scanner (24-month window identification)
  • 9-system Convergence scoring
  • 50 AI questions per month with selectable depth

What the AI sounds like (Pro tier, "Detailed" mode):

"## Career Prospects: 2026-2028

Your 10th lord Mercury is currently in Saturn's nakshatra (Pushya), and you're running Saturn Mahadasha - Mercury Antardasha until March 2028. This is significant because Mercury rules your 10th house (career) AND your 7th house (partnerships, business contracts).

The Vimshottari timing aligns with Jupiter's current transit through your 10th house, which is operational until May 2027. This double activation -- dasha lord activating the career house while Jupiter transits the same house -- is what classical texts call a 'double transit confirmation.' BV Raman (HJH Vol 1, Ch IX) specifically notes this as a period of professional elevation.

Convergence Score: 8.2/10 -- seven of nine systems agree on career advancement in this window.

Your KP analysis shows the 10th cusp sub-lord is Venus, significator of houses 2, 7, and 11 -- all connected to income, business, and gains. This is strongly supportive.

Timing: The strongest window is October 2026 through April 2027, when Jupiter and Saturn both aspect your 10th house simultaneously.

References: - BPHS Ch. 46 (Vimshottari Dasha Effects) - BV Raman, How to Judge a Horoscope Vol 1, Ch IX (Transits) - Krishnamurti, Reader III (10th Cusp Sub-Lord)"

The difference is night and day. The Pro response names every system it checked, gives you specific months, cites classical texts, and provides a convergence score so you know how confident to be.

And in "Expert" mode, you get even more: degree-level transit precision ("Saturn at 15 degrees 23 minutes Aquarius aspects natal Venus at 14 degrees 50 minutes Leo"), dasha sub-sub-periods with exact date ranges, medical correlations, and shloka references.

The Depth Selector: Your Control

Pro users get a toggle before each question:

  • Quick -- Fast, practical answer. 3-5 paragraphs. Good for simple questions.
  • Detailed -- Full breakdown with systems, citations, and timing. 5-8 paragraphs.
  • Expert -- Maximum depth. Every relevant system analyzed, degree-level precision, comprehensive citations. 8-12 paragraphs.

This means you can ask a casual question ("How's my year looking?") in Quick mode and a serious question ("Should I accept this job offer in October?") in Expert mode -- all within the same plan.

Real Example: Same Question, Three Tiers

Question: "When will I get married?"

Free tier answer: "Your chart shows strong marriage indicators activating in the next 2-3 years. The planetary cycles supporting partnerships are building momentum, and there's a particularly favorable window opening that could bring a meaningful connection. The timing looks most promising in late 2027."

Pro tier answer (Detailed): "Your 7th lord Venus is placed in the 5th house (romance) in Cancer (emotionally receptive sign). You're currently in Jupiter Mahadasha, and Jupiter aspects the 7th house from its 11th house position -- this is a classical marriage activation.

The Navamsha (D9) confirms: Venus is in its own sign Taurus in D9, and the D9 Ascendant lord is well-placed. This Vargottama-like strength in the marriage chart is a strong positive signal.

Convergence Score: 7.5/10 for marriage in 2027-2028. Six of nine systems agree on the Oct 2027 - Apr 2028 window specifically..."

(continues with KP analysis, Ashtakavarga score for 7th house, Double Transit confirmation, specific dasha sub-period, and 4 classical text citations)

Pro tier answer (Expert): (Everything above, PLUS: Prashna chart verdict, Jaimini Chara Dasha cross-reference, D7 Saptamsha analysis for spouse quality, Moon-Venus-7th lord transit conjunction dates, Muhurta recommendations for the wedding, and 8+ classical citations with chapter numbers)

Why the Free Tier Still Works

Our Free tier isn't a stripped-down demo. You still get:

  • The same astronomical precision as Pro (sub-arc-second ephemeris)
  • Real yoga detection (not just "you might have a yoga")
  • Your actual Vimshottari dasha timeline
  • AI consultation that's warm, practical, and genuinely helpful

The Free tier is designed to give you real value AND show you the depth that exists. When you see the Predictions tab blurred with "128+ classical rules analyzed across 8 life domains" -- and you know that data exists for YOUR chart, already computed -- that's when the upgrade becomes irresistible.
