GrahaAPI as an AstrologyAPI.com alternative
AstrologyAPI is the scale player with big-brand clients. Here is honestly where we differ.
Where AstrologyAPI is strong
AstrologyAPI.com claims 300+ endpoints spanning Vedic, Western, tarot, palmistry, face reading and AI chat, cites clients like Bumble and AstroTalk, and advertises horoscope content in 22+ languages. For breadth across astrology systems, it is the biggest catalogue.
Where GrahaAPI differs
| AstrologyAPI* | GrahaAPI | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing unit | Credit wallet + monthly suites (Indian suite from ₹1,500/mo); volume discounts by band | Flat monthly plans from ₹499; 1 call = 1 call, no wallet to manage |
| Free access | 150 signup credits (sandbox endpoints) | Unlimited test mode + 1,000 real calls/month, both permanent |
| Focus | Everything (Vedic + Western + tarot + AI + face reading) | Vedic depth: 23 modules incl. KP, Lal Kitab, Bhrigu Nadi, Shadbala, Ashtakavarga |
| Missing birth time | — | Sunrise chart + explicit meta.accuracy flag ("reliable" / "unreliable") and meta.birth_time_provided |
| Over quota (paid) | Wallet tops up | Calls pause at the monthly limit until the 1st or an upgrade; no overage bills |

The practical difference
150 trial credits force integration decisions early; unlimited structure-identical test mode means your CI can run against real response shapes forever. And if your product is Vedic-first, paying for a catalogue where most of the surface is Western/tarot/face-reading may not be the efficient choice.
AstrologyAPI claims 300+ endpoints — GrahaAPI has 237. What's the real difference?
Coverage focus. Their 300+ spans Vedic + Western + tarot + palmistry + face reading + AI products. GrahaAPI's 237 are Vedic-first — the only non-Vedic modules are Tarot, Numerology and Palmistry — going deeper per system: full KP, Lal Kitab, Ashtakavarga, Shadbala, Bhrigu Nadi modules.
Do both support Hindi responses?
Yes. AstrologyAPI advertises multi-language support. GrahaAPI chart responses carry English values with Hindi twins (e.g. "sign": "Leo", "sign_hi": "सिंह") with no language parameter; Astro Shivanii AI endpoints take "language": "en" or "hi" and answer in that one language (1 AI call each).
Which is cheaper?
For pure Vedic workloads at small-to-mid volume, GrahaAPI's ₹499 entry plan (10,000 calls) is below their advertised Indian-suite entry (₹1,500/mo). At very high volumes, compare their wallet discounts against our Scale plan (₹4,999 for 1,20,000 calls) with your actual call mix.
