Which astrology APIs does this page compare?

Asterwise against 7 hosted astrology APIs: AstrologyAPI, Prokerala Astrology API, DivineAPI, FreeAstrologyAPI, VedicAstroAPI, RoxyAPI, AstroWay Calculation API. Each vendor page shows free tier, price per 1,000 calls, matchmaking depth, ayanamsa options, MCP server, OpenAPI document, ephemeris and published accuracy, with a source link on every row and the date it was read.

Is Asterwise an alternative to AstrologyAPI?

If you want eight SDK languages, PDF reports and output in eight Indian languages from one vendor, AstrologyAPI has them and Asterwise does not. If you want to know, before you sign up, what engine computes a chart and how accurate it is, Asterwise publishes both; AstrologyAPI publishes neither.

Is Asterwise an alternative to Prokerala Astrology API?

Prokerala publishes a thorough OpenAPI document, serves more than twenty languages and can match 500 profiles in one call. What it does not do is tell you what a call costs: credits per endpoint range from 10 to 20,000, so the same ₹999 buys anywhere from five calls to ten thousand. Asterwise charges per call, publishes what it computes with, and runs an official MCP server.

What does Asterwise publish that you can check before signing up?

Free tier: 500 calls a month, no card, does not expire. Price per 1,000 calls: $1.00 (Builder); $0.60 (Launch, $30 for 50,000); $0.33 (Scale, $100 for 300,000). MCP: Yes: remote server at mcp.asterwise.com, 118 tools, OAuth 2.1 or API key. Listed on the official MCP registry and Smithery; source public on GitHub. Accuracy: Yes: 80 positions checked against NASA JPL Horizons, median 0.050 arcseconds, raw data and script published.

How are these comparisons kept accurate?

Every row links the vendor page it came from and the date it was read. Errors reported to support@asterwise.com are checked within five business days and recorded in the corrections log on the page.

Astrology API Comparison: Asterwise vs 7 Providers (2026)

These are the hosted astrology APIs a developer is most likely to shortlist alongside Asterwise. Each has its own page with the full table, the sources, and an honest list of where it beats Asterwise.

What the table is really asking

Every row above is a question a buyer can settle before writing code (the Vedic and Western endpoint pages list what each side of the table refers to). Asterwise answers all of them in public: a per-call price on every tier, the Swiss Ephemeris with the full data files, an 80-position check against NASA JPL Horizons with the script to repeat it, a live OpenAPI document, and 500 free calls a month with no card. Some competitors answer some of them; the individual pages say which, and also say plainly where each competitor is the better choice.

Looking for a Prokerala or AstrologyAPI alternative?

Three short guides answer the questions people bring to this page most often: what to check before switching from AstrologyAPI or from Prokerala, and what each vendor publishes about free use.

Each vendor page answers that question for one provider, with the same table and the same sources: Prokerala, AstrologyAPI, DivineAPI, FreeAstrologyAPI, VedicAstroAPI, RoxyAPI and AstroWay. Each ends with "choose them if / choose us if", because an honest alternative is not always the right one.

Method

We read each vendor's pricing page, documentation index and, where it exists, OpenAPI document and MCP listing, on the date shown on that vendor's page (first read 5 and 7 September 2026; every row re-checked on 16 October 2026, with the changes listed in each page's corrections log). A row is filled only from something on those pages; anything else is not published. Where two pages from the same vendor disagree, both figures are shown. Per-1,000-call prices are monthly price divided by monthly quota, with the arithmetic under the row; credit systems whose per-call cost varies are marked not derivable. Asterwise's own rows come from its live OpenAPI document, its pricing page and its published accuracy check, and are held to the same standard.

How these pages stay honest

Every statement about another vendor on this page is a statement about what that vendor's public pages said on the date shown, not a statement about the quality of its calculations or its service. Where a page did not say, the row reads not published, and that means only that we could not find it. Vendors change prices and features; verify anything that matters to you on the vendor's own page before you decide.

Report an error. Email support@asterwise.com with the row, the correct fact and a public page that shows it. We check it within five business days, change the row, and record the change in the corrections log on this page with the date.
