Online tarot reading sites compared: where to get a reading from a person
This site explains what the cards mean. It cannot tell you what they mean for you — that needs someone who can ask follow-up questions. Below are the main platforms that connect you to a live reader, with what each actually offers and where each falls short.

A mid-sized platform built on the same per-minute model as the big marketplaces, with a roster organised by specialty — tarot, love, career — rather than by price tier.
Watch for: Smaller and younger than Keen or Kasamba — fewer reviews per reader, so individual quality is harder to pre-judge. Lean on recent feedback, not overall ratings.
- First-time offer
- First 5 min credited back to your account (max $15; $10 on a $10 top-up)
- Price per minute
- Chat $1.42–$7.77
- If a reading goes wrong
- Up to 10 min back as credit; claim within 48 h
- Trustpilot
- 4.6 / 5 · 1,468 reviews
- iPhone app
- 5.0 / 5 · only 2 ratings
One of the newer entrants, with a clean filter system — by reading style, subject and tool, tarot included — and a first-session offer: deposit $10 or more and the cost of the first 5 minutes comes back as site credit (up to $15).
Watch for: The credit covers all five minutes only with readers at $3.00 a minute or less, and a disappointing reading is compensated with site credit, not cash.
- First-time offer
- Bonus on first top-up: $10 → +$4, up to +$25
- Price per minute
- $1.18–$10.29
- If a reading goes wrong
- Up to 10 min back as credit (max $35); claim within 48 h

Sister platform to Mysticsense from the same operator, with a warmer, editorial feel — reader profiles lean personal, and the catalogue is organised by life topic (love, career, grief) rather than by tool.
Watch for: Younger and smaller than the big marketplaces: fewer readers online at any hour, and fewer reviews per reader to judge by. A disappointing reading is compensated with up to 10 minutes of credit (at most $35), not cash.
- First-time offer
- $1 for the first 5 min with select readers
- Price per minute
- Tarot readers $1.99–$7.99
- If a reading goes wrong
- Up to $25 Keen credit; claim within 72 h

One of the oldest psychic marketplaces online. Keen runs as an open marketplace: readers set their own per-minute rate, and the range is wide — you can find someone at well under a dollar a minute or many times that.
Watch for: Because anyone accepted can list, quality varies more than on curated platforms. Read recent reviews rather than lifetime ratings — a reader's standard can drift.
- First-time offer
- 3 free minutes on the first reading
- Price per minute
- Not found in our check
- If a reading goes wrong
- Up to $50 credit, at its discretion; within 7 days

Kasamba works on the same marketplace model as Keen and shares its history — both grew out of the early online advice boom. Its tarot and love-reading categories are the busiest parts of the site.
Watch for: The interface pushes hard toward continuing a session. Set a spend limit before you start rather than during.
- First-time offer
- None found on its own pages
- Price per minute
- Paid in credits
- If a reading goes wrong
- Credit or refund, at its discretion; within 3 days

- 4.8 / 5 · 5,656 ratings
A newer app-first platform. Readers keep profile videos, which gives a much better sense of how someone actually communicates before you pay them anything.
Watch for: Smaller roster than the older networks, and availability at any given hour is thinner.
- First-time offer
- Bonus coins on first packages
- Price per minute
- Coin packages; SmartBuy auto top-up
- If a reading goes wrong
- No refunds once coins are spent; only for platform failures
- Trustpilot

A different format entirely: readers broadcast live streams you can watch for free, and private readings are bought with credits from inside the stream. Closer to live TV than to a hotline.
Watch for: Coins obscure the real per-minute price, and the live-stream format rewards showmanship; a strong performer is not always a careful reader.
- First-time offer
- Intro rate from $1/min with most readers, once
- Price per minute
- Each reader’s own rate after the intro
- If a reading goes wrong
- Last paid session free if unhappy; claim within 24 h
- Trustpilot

Not a partner of this siteFull reviewThe oldest of the major networks and the most tightly screened — Psychic Source vets applicants rather than letting anyone list, and the roster is correspondingly smaller.
Watch for: Fewer readers means less choice of style, and the standard per-minute rate after the introductory package is higher than the marketplace average.
- First-time offer
- Intro packages from $25, up to 20 min
- Price per minute
- $5–$23
- If a reading goes wrong
- “If it’s not life changing, it’s free”

Not a partner of this siteFull reviewOrganises its readers into price tiers — popular, preferred and premier — which makes the cost predictable before you connect rather than after.
Watch for: Tiers correlate with demand more than with accuracy, so paying for the top tier does not guarantee a better reading for your particular question.
Taken from each platform’s own pages, the App Store and Trustpilot, checked Oct 7, 2026. Price ranges are a snapshot of readers listed that day; each reader sets their own rate.

Which kind of reader you need
Most platforms list every kind side by side. Decide the kind first — the platform matters less than the match.
Tarot reader
You have one specific question and want a spread laid against it — with someone to ask follow-ups.
Love reader
The question is about one relationship, and you want it read in context rather than in general.
Medium or clairvoyant
The question is about someone who has died. Treat it as a conversation about grief, and judge the manner before you pay.
Astrologer
The question is about timing or a birth chart. Have your birth date, time and place ready before the clock starts.
Before you pay anyone
Three things worth knowing. Introductory rates exist because the per-minute price afterwards is several times higher — decide your limit before you connect. A reader who tells you about a curse that can be removed for a further fee is running a known script; leave. And no reading should be the deciding factor in a medical, legal or financial decision.
