What you pay for at Astro Berries is the conversation with an astrologer and — if you use that function — listening to their replies. Everything else — computing planetary positions and generating your chart, refreshing it, the moon calendar, key transits, progressions, the lifeline, moment selection, chart comparisons and e-mail notifications — is free.
You buy a package of our tokens — called berries — here. You spend berries during the conversation with an astrologer, according to the rules described below.
Exactly how much a single exchange costs depends on which astrologer you talk to, how long the conversation is and how much data the record holds. You will find each astrologer's rates in the table below, and the multipliers in the description under it. No subscription, no recurring fees, no automatic charges.
We compute your chart ourselves, on our own server — astronomically precise, to the arc minute. The conversation, however, is led by an astrologer running on a language model, and our astrologers run on different ones (Gemini 3.8 Flash, Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Claude Opus 5.5). Those models differ in what they can do and in what they cost us — hence the spread in rates. Our pricing mirrors that mechanism — you pay for how much data the astrologer actually processes (your chart, the forecast and the whole conversation so far) and how advanced a language model it uses.
Apa runs on Claude Opus 5.5 — the most powerful and most expensive model we use here. The difference is in multi-step reasoning: a more accurate reading of the data sheet (positions to the arc minute, not generalities), more reliable handling of the western versus Vedic systems, fewer shortcuts when many threads run at once. One exchange costs us several times more than with the other models — and that is the only reason for the higher rate.
One exchange = your question + the astrologer's answer. A single conversation can run up to 75 exchanges — and the astrologer remembers all of it throughout. Once you reach the limit you start a new conversation, and the astrologer receives a summary of the previous one, so the thread carries over.
The first exchange of a new conversation loads your entire chart once (Western and Vedic systems, plus the forecast if the record has one). Subsequent exchanges reuse the already-loaded context. That's why the first exchange costs more than the ones that follow in the same conversation - how much more depends on the astrologer and the scope of the record. Follow-up questions return to the lower rate, so you can chat freely. The astrologer keeps your full conversation context in working memory for about an hour. After a longer break it has to be reloaded — so the first message after the break costs the same as starting a new conversation.
With every answer the astrologer takes the whole conversation so far into account, so a longer conversation means more data processed. The rate per exchange rises in steps. The thresholds are the same for everyone, but the rate itself depends on the astrologer — each one runs on a different language model and covers a different range of data:
| Astrologer | exchanges 1-25 | from 26 | from 51 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elizabethall horoscope types · forecast up to 8 years | 10 | 13 | 16 |
| Richardall horoscope types · forecast up to 8 years | 10 | 13 | 16 |
| Tomportraits, relationship portraits · forecast up to 3 years | 7 | 9 | 11 |
| Apaall horoscope types · forecast up to 8 years | 25 | 27 | 35 |
(values in berries per exchange). We tell you in the conversation whenever the rate changes. A new conversation always starts at the lowest rate — once a topic is exhausted, it's cheaper to open a fresh one.
The more astrological data a record holds, the richer the context of each answer. The rates above are multiplied:
Lifeline (from birth to today) - an option when you start a conversation about a birth chart, with or without a forecast, available in paid exchanges: ×1.25. The astrologer then also knows the key periods of your past. The multiplier combines with the ones above.
You can ask for a conversation where two astrologers answer together: the first gives their reading, the second responds to it and adds their own. On each following exchange the one who answered second goes first, so both of them open equally often.
Such an exchange costs the sum of both astrologers' rates — you get two full answers, so you pay for two. All the multipliers above (record scope, conversation length) apply the same way. You see the rate before the conversation starts, your current balance in the top bar at all times, and we announce every change in cost during the conversation.
You can not only read the astrologer's replies but also listen to them — if the function is available to you, the speaker button ("Read answers aloud") in the message box turns on a player above the conversation. It is a separate service, charged alongside the exchanges.
The rate is 2.5 berries per 1000 characters of the text read out. A typical reply runs to about 1650 characters, which is roughly 4.2 berries; the expected amount is shown in the player before you press ▶.
Three things work in your favour:
Your first 5 exchanges are on us — no sign-up, no charge. Create an account and we'll add a welcome pack: 150 berries.
You buy berries in packages — current prices below. They never expire while your account is active. Payments are handled by ING Pay (ING Bank Slaski S.A.) for prices in Polish zloty — BLIK, cards, Google Pay and online transfers — and by Stripe for prices in euro, dollars and pounds: cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Link. Berries are digital content delivered electronically — they land in your account right after payment.
We compute planetary positions in all seriousness — to the arc minute. And the language models our astrologers rely on are among the most advanced tools of the current digital revolution. There is one catch, though: astrological forecasts cannot be verified in advance — life will test them in its own way, like any weather forecast. So take your conversations with our astrologers with distance, humour and curiosity: as inspiration and an invitation to reflect, not as an oracle. Make important decisions yourself.
