Live WhatsApp and phone prices
Kumpania WhatsApp readings cost US$15 for up to one hour or US$30 for up to two hours. Phone readings cost US$15 for ten minutes or US$30 for thirty minutes, available in Canada and the USA only. Both are fixed-price conversations with the named family reader on duty, not me, and are separate from emailed readings.
Fixed price versus per-minute psychic readings
Three pricing models are common. None of them guarantees quality; only the per-minute model makes the bill grow as the conversation runs.
| Pricing model | What you pay for | Chaya's prices |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed-price written reading | A defined written answer, priced before you order | US$10 first reading (new clients), US$19 tarot, US$22 psychic reading, US$57 mediumship |
| Fixed-length live session | A stated length of conversation at a set price | Kumpania WhatsApp US$15 for up to one hour; phone US$15 for ten minutes (Canada and the USA) |
| Per-minute live reading | The rate multiplied by the minutes used, often from prepaid funds | Not offered; Chaya does not charge per minute |
California Psychics explains that its readings are priced per minute, with prepaid funds and packages. Its help page says a reading ends when the funds run out unless Auto Reload is enabled. Psychic Source's pricing terms distinguish a one-time introductory offer from regular advisor rates. These are examples of billing structures, not a survey of the market or a claim that either service is better.
When comparing a live service with my written email readings, compare the deliverable too. A conversation allows an exchange in real time. A written answer gives you something to reread. Do not assume a cheaper headline buys the same length, question allowance, or follow-up.
How much does a 10, 20 or 30-minute reading cost?
Multiply the rate by the minutes. For a hypothetical rate of US$3 per minute, 10 minutes costs US$30, 20 minutes costs US$60, and 30 minutes costs US$90. At a hypothetical US$5 per minute, those totals become US$50, US$100 and US$150. These are arithmetic examples, not current provider quotes or estimates of an average price.
Ask about minimum purchases, automatic top-ups, rates after promotional minutes and the billing currency before starting.
Introductory price or regular price?
My US$10 introductory reading covers one short question or area within 48 hours. It is for a first-time client, once per person.
A returning client with one defined concern can compare the US$23 Psychic Question Reading. It includes the wider situation around that question and arrives within 48 hours. The one-question reading guide explains the scope. If speed matters most, the US$15 Kumpania option is answered within one hour by the named family reader on duty, not necessarily by me. Those are different services, not two prices for an identical answer.
For several connected questions, the US$22 Psychic Reading by Chaya covers up to three related questions within 48 hours. That is US$1 less than the one-question option, so the choice is about scope rather than a promise of better accuracy.
How much does a medium reading cost?
The entry medium reading is the US$23 First Medium Reading for first-time clients. It covers the full written medium reading within 48 hours, once per person. That lower price is an eligibility offer, not a promise of different results.
Returning clients use the standard Psychic Medium Reading with Departed Loved One at US$57, delivered in writing within 48 hours. It is an attempt to connect with a named person and record impressions, rather than answer an ordinary question about work or a relationship. The listing asks for your full name, date of birth, and the loved one's name and relationship to you.
I cannot promise contact or proof, and paying more does not change that. Before comparing mediumship quotes, check whether each is a private session, group event, live conversation, or written reading. A group ticket is not automatically an individual reading. My guide to what a medium can and cannot promise explains the limits; the email mediumship guide covers this format specifically.
Is tarot cheaper than a psychic reading?
At my current prices, yes. My three-card tarot reading costs US$19, compared with US$23 for the one-question psychic reading. The tarot option uses a past, present and future spread, explained in writing within 48 hours. The future position is an interpretation, not a guaranteed event. A price difference does not prove accuracy.
What to check before you pay
- Total and currency: is the number a complete price, a minute rate, or a deposit?
- Reader: who completes the work, and are you booking that person specifically?
- Scope: how many questions, what format, and what delivery deadline?
- Extras: are clarification, a recording, or follow-up included or charged separately?
- Terms: what happens if you cancel, delivery is late, or the reading is not what you expected?
Before ordering, check the live listing and terms. Client reviews describe experiences, not guaranteed outcomes. Choose the smallest reading within your budget; a higher fee cannot guarantee a preferred answer.
Ritual work is a separate service
A ritual commission is not a required add-on to a reading. My father David offers private spell work on his own site, with a separate scope, delivery window and checkout. Read those terms there if you are comparing ritual work. The reading prices above do not apply to his commissions.
