Is the free plan a trial, or a permanent tier?
It's a 14-day free trial: 500 API calls, no credit card required. Unlike most competitors, the trial unlocks all 132 of our endpoints — including matching, muhurta, KP, and Jaimini — so you can build and validate a real feature, not just a narrow demo, before deciding to pay.
What happens when the trial ends?
After 14 days, the API key stops working until you upgrade. You'll see a clear 403 message with a link to pricing. If you need more time or calls before committing to a monthly plan, the ₹999 Dev Pack gives you 30,000 calls for 3 months as a one-time purchase — no subscription.
Are the trial results as accurate as paid plans?
Yes, identically accurate. All plans use the same VedIntel™ Precision Engine computation engine running locally on our servers. There is no "degraded accuracy" on the trial. We have verified accuracy against Jagannatha Hora (industry standard Vedic software) for the reference birth chart. The trial is limited by call count and duration, not by computation quality.
Which endpoints are available during the trial?
All 132 endpoints are available during the trial — horoscope, divisional charts, panchang, dashas, matching, doshas, muhurta, KP, Jaimini, Chinese astrology, Japanese astrology, Tarot, and Numerology all included. AI narrative endpoints (Claude-powered chart readings) are the one exception and require a paid plan.
Can I use the trial in a production app?
You can build and test a production-ready integration during the 14-day trial, but the trial itself is time-boxed — it's meant for evaluation, not permanent production use. At 500 calls over 14 days, that's roughly 35 calls/day to validate your integration. When you're ready to go live, the Developer plan (₹799/$9/month) gives you 75,000 calls/month, or the ₹999 Dev Pack gives you 30,000 calls over 3 months as a cheaper one-time step.
