Two apps, one astrology marketplace — for customers and for astrologers

A consultation marketplace has to work for two very different people at once. Customers want to find a trustworthy astrologer who is online right now, see the price per minute up front and start talking without friction. Astrologers need to know when customers are waiting, answer requests before they expire and see what each session earned them after the platform fee — or they stop showing up. TalkAcharya needed both experiences to feel premium and to stay in sync in real time.

We built two dedicated apps on one real-time backend. The customer app signs people in with a mobile OTP — new users get an account automatically — and opens on a home screen with a live count of astrologers online, one-tap Chat now and Call now, a wallet, free tools like Kundali, Matching, Horoscope and Vastu, and a referral programme. Its astrologer directory can be searched by name, skill or language and filtered by chat, call or video, with ratings, per-minute pricing, experience and languages on every card. The partner app gives astrologers a one-tap online / away switch, incoming, active and past requests, today's earnings after the platform fee, and monthly earnings milestones that show how close they are to the next tier.

Customers can go from opening the app to talking with a verified astrologer in a few taps, and astrologers run their whole practice from their phone — going live when they are free, answering requests in time and seeing every session's effect on their monthly earnings straight away.
