How Cheap Is PsychicBook?
PsychicBook's new-customer offer is the most generous we track: 10 free minutes, then 50% off the rest of your first session. Starting rates are around $1.00/min, so after the free minutes you pay about $0.50/min. A 20-minute first reading works out to roughly $5; 30 minutes about $10.
Readers list their specialties, so filter for tarot and check recent reviews. Chat sessions come with a transcript you can reread — useful when the reader explains a spread card by card.
How Cheap Is Purple Garden?
Rates start around $0.99/min — the lowest standard starting rate we track — with discounts for new customers. Without a big free-minutes offer, the first session isn't the cheapest, but ongoing readings can be.
Video tarot is the standout: you can watch the reader shuffle and lay out the cards. Filter by price, as video readers often charge more.
Which Should You Choose?
PsychicBook wins the first session thanks to its free minutes and 50% discount. Purple Garden wins later on standard rates (from $0.99/min) and if you want video tarot. Many budget readers use PsychicBook for their first reading and compare standard rates afterward.
Or Use Both
Welcome offers are per site, so you can use PsychicBook's offer for one question and Purple Garden's for another. Plan which question deserves the longer session, and check exact numbers in the tarot cost calculator.
