Astrology App Development — Custom Horoscope, Kundli & Booking Apps

The timeline for building an astrology app depends on the features and complexity you need. A basic astrology app with horoscope updates and user profiles typically takes 8–12 weeks. A mid-level app with Kundli generation, live chat, and astrologer booking takes 16–24 weeks. A full-featured platform with video consultations, e-commerce, multi-language support, and a custom admin panel typically takes 24–36 weeks. At Appic Softwares, we provide a detailed project timeline during the discovery phase so you always know what to expect and when.

Astrology app development cost depends on platforms (Android, iOS, or both), feature complexity, and design requirements. A basic astrology app starts at $8,000–$15,000. A mid-level app with live consultation, Kundli, and booking features ranges from $20,000–$40,000. An enterprise-grade platform with e-commerce, multiple panels, and advanced algorithms ranges from $50,000–$100,000+. We offer flexible engagement models including hourly, fixed-cost, and dedicated team hiring to fit your budget. Contact us for a free detailed estimate based on your specific requirements.

Astrology apps typically need updates for three reasons: OS updates (Apple and Google release major OS versions annually, requiring compatibility updates), feature additions (new features based on user feedback or market trends), and content updates (new horoscope algorithms, festival calendars, or Panchang data). We recommend a quarterly review cycle. Our post-launch support packages include bug fixes, OS compatibility updates, performance monitoring, and feature enhancements — ensuring your app stays competitive and crash-free.

We use React Native and Flutter for cross-platform mobile apps, Node.js and Python for backend APIs, and AWS or Google Cloud for hosting. For astrology-specific features, we integrate specialized Kundli APIs, Panchang APIs, and horoscope data providers. AI and machine learning are used for personalized predictions. We also integrate Agora or Twilio for live video and chat, Razorpay or Stripe for payments, and Firebase for push notifications. Our stack is chosen based on your specific feature requirements and scale targets.

We develop astrology apps for Android (Google Play), iOS (Apple App Store), and Web (Progressive Web App / PWA). For clients who want to reach all users at once, we recommend a cross-platform approach using React Native or Flutter — this allows one shared codebase for Android and iOS, reducing cost and development time by 30–40% compared to building native apps separately. We also build web-based astrology platforms using Next.js for clients who want SEO-friendly, browser-accessible astrology services without requiring an app download.

Yes. We build AI-powered astrology apps with GPT-based conversational astrologers, ML-driven personalised predictions, and automated Kundli report generation. Whether you want a daily horoscope app with smart notifications or a full consultation marketplace like Astrotalk — with live chat, video calls, and an astrologer marketplace — we have built both. Our Hello Astro case study is a direct example of a full Astrotalk-style platform we delivered for a client. Share your idea with us and we will scope it for you.

A custom astrology app is built from scratch to your exact specifications — your brand, your features, your business logic. It takes longer and costs more, but gives you complete control and a unique product. A white-label astrology app is a pre-built, ready-to-launch solution that is branded with your name and logo. It launches faster (typically 2–4 weeks) and costs significantly less. We offer both: our custom astrology app development service for clients who want something unique, and our ready-made astrology app for clients who want to launch quickly. If you are unsure which is right for you, our team can help you decide based on your budget and go-to-market timeline.

We integrate with several leading astrology data providers depending on your feature requirements and budget. For Kundli and Vedic astrology, we work with the Vedic Astrology API, Prokerala, and AstroAPI — covering birth chart generation, divisional charts, Dasha calculations, and planetary transit data. For Panchang and festival data, we integrate with Panchang APIs that cover Tithi, Nakshatra, Choghadiya, and Muhurat information. For Western astrology features, we use separate ephemeris-based APIs. Where needed, we also build custom Kundli calculation engines using astronomical algorithms, ensuring accuracy independent of third-party API availability.

Yes — Vedic astrology is our strongest domain specialisation. We build apps with full Kundli generation (North and South Indian style), all divisional charts (D1 through D60), Vimshottari and Yogini Dasha systems, Ashtakoot and Dashakoot compatibility matching, Manglik analysis, Kaal Sarp Dosha, Sade Sati reports, and Lal Kitab integration. Our AstrInsights module covers 11 Vedic astrology subsystems including KP Astrology, BioRythm, and daily Nakshatra predictions. If you need a comprehensive Vedic astrology platform, we have the domain knowledge and API integrations already in place.

There are five proven monetisation models for astrology apps. First, pay-per-consultation: users pay per chat or video session with an astrologer — this is the primary revenue model for apps like Astrotalk. Second, subscription plans: monthly or annual plans giving users access to premium horoscopes, detailed Kundli reports, and ad-free experience. Third, in-app purchases: one-time purchases for specific reports like a marriage compatibility report or a yearly forecast. Fourth, e-commerce: selling gemstones, crystals, rudraksha, and astrology books directly inside the app. Fifth, astrologer commission: the platform takes a percentage of every consultation fee paid to astrologers. Most successful astrology apps combine 2–3 of these models. We build the billing and wallet infrastructure for all of them.

Yes. Every astrology app we deliver includes 60 days of free bug-fix support from the launch date. After that, we offer flexible post-launch maintenance packages that cover OS compatibility updates (iOS and Android release major versions annually), security patches, API version upgrades, performance monitoring, and new feature development. We also offer a dedicated support retainer for clients who want a fixed monthly hours allocation for ongoing work. You will never be left without support after we hand over your app.

Yes — live consultation is one of our most-built features. We integrate Agora SDK for HD video and audio calls, with fallback to WebRTC for browser-based consultations. For chat, we use Firebase Realtime Database or Socket.io for real-time messaging, with full chat history, media sharing, and consultation note-saving for astrologers. The system includes astrologer availability scheduling, automatic call routing, session-based billing (per-minute or per-session), and a review and rating flow post-consultation. We have built this exact system for Hello Astro and replicated it with variations for multiple clients.

Yes. We sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) on Day 1 — before any project discussion begins. Full source code ownership is transferred to you upon project completion and final payment. We do not reuse client code across projects, and we do not retain any rights to your app, its data, or its intellectual property after handover. This applies to all engagements — fixed-cost, hourly, and dedicated team models.
