Comparison Astrology APIs Facts checked 5 September 2026

Asterwise vs DivineAPI

DivineAPI is cheaper per call at volume and has more MCP tools. Asterwise lets you evaluate with no card and no clock, on one server, with an accuracy check you can rerun.

By Asterwise

Facts about DivineAPI 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

At volume, DivineAPI is far cheaper per call, has more MCP tools across three servers, and returns output in many languages. To find out whether it fits, you give a credit card for a 14-day trial. Asterwise gives you 500 calls a month with no card and no expiry, one server with one key, and an accuracy check you can rerun yourself.

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?AsterwiseDivineAPI
The exact price of a callYes. $10 ÷ 10 = $1.00; $30 ÷ 50 = $0.60; $100 ÷ 300 = $0.33.Vedic ₹14.99 (Sampoorna), ₹8.33 (Ananta), ₹5.00 (Prakash); Western ₹3.00 to ₹2.00
What computes the positionsYes. Swiss Ephemeris with the full data files.Swiss Ephemeris
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.Yes, OpenAPI 3.0 at developers.divineapi.com/openapi.yaml
Try it without payingYes. 500 calls a month, no card, does not expire.14-day trial only, and a credit card is required to activate it; no permanent free tier

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 DivineAPI if

  • You are already at hundreds of thousands of calls a month and price per call is the deciding number.
  • You need white-label PDFs, e-commerce plugins or output in many languages.
  • You want Kaal Chakra dasha or the widest MCP tool count, split across Indian, Western and Horoscope servers.

Choose Asterwise if

  • You want to evaluate without a card and without a clock: 500 free calls a month, permanently.
  • You want one server, one key and one tool namespace for Vedic, Western, numerology and tarot together.
  • You want the accuracy claim backed by numbers: DivineAPI says arc-second; Asterwise shows 80 positions against NASA JPL Horizons and the script.
  • You want to choose the ayanamsa per call, Lahiri, Raman, KP or tropical; DivineAPI documents Lahiri.
  • You want Rajju and Vedha as vetoes on the main Ashtakoot result as well as inside Dashakoot.

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.
