Alternatives
Prokerala alternative

- No account needed to draw a chart
- Good enough for positions, nakshatra lookup and panchang — which is what most visitors actually came for

The differences that actually matter
- They publish a chart; we publish a chart plus the reasoning, the period sequence and the strength tables, as a document you keep
- Their pages do not state which ayanamsa produced the chart. Ours states it to the arc-second, which is the difference between a chart you trust and a chart you can check
- Free calculators disagree with one another, and it is not a rounding error — usually a different ayanamsa or house system, unstated on the output
- Nothing free is built to be read by an AI assistant with your own data in it
Choose Prokerala if
- Anyone who just needs a chart drawn, a nakshatra looked up, or a panchang checked — pay nothing, it is right there
- Readers who want to learn by poking at charts before spending anything
- Anyone whose question is factual rather than interpretive
Choose us if
- Readers who have noticed two sites giving them different charts and want to know which is correct
- Anyone who needs the period sequence dated rather than approximated
- Anyone who wants a document to keep, question and re-read in three years
The thing we will not compete on
A large part of this market is sold on fear — a dosha named, a remedy priced, a consequence implied if you do nothing. We do not generate that material at all. No gemstone recommendations, no remedy upsells, no death or disease predictions, no claims about a person who has not consented to being read. Those refusals are printed inside the file, and they are the reason some readers choose us and others should not.
If what you want is a remedy to perform, we are the wrong purchase and Prokerala is closer to what you are looking for.
Straight answers
Prokerala vs Astrodai
Is Astrodai cheaper than Prokerala?
No. Prokerala costs Free for the calculators; premium reports priced on their own pages. A single-area file here is ₹1,499 and the complete file is ₹3,999. If price is the deciding factor, they win it — the comparison on this page is about what arrives, not what it costs.
What does Astrodai refuse to do?
No death or disease predictions, no gemstone or remedy recommendations, no claims about a person who has not consented to being read, and no wedding or event dates. Those refusals are printed inside the file itself.
Can I use both?
Yes, and plenty of people should. They answer different questions — one is free tools supported by advertising, plus paid transit and year reports, the other is a computed document you keep and question.
How do I know the calculations are right?
The ayanamsa is stated on the file to the arc-second, the method is published on the method page, and every doctrinal position is traceable through the reference library. You can reproduce the numbers or find us wrong.
If you want to try ours first
Read a complete file before paying for one — all four samples are published in full, not as extracts. Then the order page lists what each file covers.
