Comparison Astrology APIs Facts checked 5 September 2026

Asterwise vs AstrologyAPI

AstrologyAPI has more SDK languages, more languages of output and more products. Asterwise tells you the price of a call, what computes it and how accurate it is before you sign up.

By Asterwise

Facts about AstrologyAPI were read from its own pages on 5 September 2026; every row in the full table below carries its source, and the page ends with how to report an error.

The short answer

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 a call costs, what engine computes it and how accurate it is, Asterwise publishes all three and AstrologyAPI publishes none of them.

What you can verify before you write a line of code

An astrology API is a promise about astronomy, coverage and price. The fastest way to compare two of them is to ask what each lets you check in advance.

Can you check this before signing up?AsterwiseAstrologyAPI
The exact price of a callYes. $10 ÷ 10 = $1.00; $30 ÷ 50 = $0.60; $100 ÷ 300 = $0.33.not published
What computes the positionsYes. Swiss Ephemeris with the full data files.not published
How accurate the positions areYes: 80 positions checked against NASA JPL Horizons, median 0.046 arcseconds, raw data and script published.not published
The full API contractYes, public at api.asterwise.com/openapi.json.not published
Try it without payingYes. 500 calls a month, no card, does not expire.150 free credits on sign-up (the MCP page says 100 calls)

Where a cell says not published, it means we could not find the fact on the vendor's pages on 5 September 2026. It is not a claim that the fact is bad, only that you cannot check it before you build.

Choose AstrologyAPI if

  • You need an SDK in Java, Swift, Android, PHP, .NET or Ruby, not just Python or TypeScript.
  • You need PDF reports, chart images, or products outside astrology such as Human Design and palmistry.
  • Your users need responses in Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam or Kannada.

Choose Asterwise if

  • You want to price your product before you build it: every Asterwise tier has a computable per-call cost; AstrologyAPI publishes no call quota for its plans.
  • You want to check the astronomy yourself: Asterwise publishes its ephemeris, an 80-position check against NASA JPL Horizons and the script to repeat it.
  • You want an OpenAPI document and SDKs generated from it, so your types never drift from the API.
  • You want the ayanamsa as a parameter on every sidereal call, with Rajju and Vedha returned as vetoes on the main matchmaking response.
  • You want an MCP server on the official registry with public source, one OAuth flow, and 500 free calls a month that never expire.

Start with 500 free calls a month, no card, no expiry. Connect the MCP server to Claude or Cursor in one line, or install the Python or TypeScript SDK. See pricing or connect the MCP server.

How to read the prices

Where a vendor publishes both a monthly price and a monthly call quota, the price per 1,000 calls is the first divided by the second, and the arithmetic is shown under the row. Where a vendor sells credits that cost different amounts per endpoint, or publishes no quota, no per-call price is given, because none can be derived.

How this page stays 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.
