Frequently asked questions
- Why a four-tier ladder instead of three?
- Pro at $11 is the lowest-friction step out of Free — AI on, transits and progressions on. Adept at $29 unlocks the full consultation toolkit (synastry, returns, transit scanner, knowledge base) that working astrologers actually use day-to-day. Master at $79 covers studios with team seats, white-label, transit alerts, and weekly digests. Each step buys a real feature line, not a quota bump.
- What does BYOK mean and when does it kick in?
- BYOK is "bring your own key." If you already have an OpenAI or Anthropic account, you connect your API key in settings — Astrolium routes AI calls through your account, you pay the provider directly, and we cut $5/mo off your invoice. AI usage becomes unlimited. Available on Adept and Master only. We never store the key in plaintext.
- How does Astrolium compare to Solar Fire ($360)?
- Solar Fire is a $360 one-time Windows install with periodic paid upgrades. Adept at $29/mo runs in any browser, includes AI, CRM, knowledge base, and PDF exports — total over 12 months is $290 (annual plan), cheaper than one Solar Fire license. You also get cloud sync across Mac, PC, and tablet, plus continuous updates.
- Is there a free tier?
- Yes. Free covers 5 client profiles, unlimited natal charts, 6 popular house systems, and Solar Fire .SFCHT import. No AI, no transits, no PDF. You can use it indefinitely. Most practitioners hit the 5-client limit within the first month — upgrade to Pro ($11) for transits, AI, and 25 clients, or jump to Adept ($29) for the full toolkit.
- When should I upgrade from Pro to Adept?
- The moment you start doing synastry, composite, or solar return work — those are Adept features. Same for batch operations: if you find yourself manually checking 'who has Saturn opposite their natal Sun this month,' Transit Scanner pays for itself in one session. Adept also unlocks BYOK, which power users find pays for itself if they have an existing OpenAI account.
- Can I cancel anytime?
- Yes. Monthly plans cancel anytime via the dashboard — no email or phone call required. Your data exports as JSON before cancellation. Cancelled accounts downgrade to Free (5 most-recent clients retained), not deleted.
- Do you offer annual pricing?
- Yes. Annual is roughly two months free across every paid tier: Pro $110/yr ($9.17/mo), Adept $290/yr ($24.17/mo), Master $790/yr ($65.83/mo). Switch from monthly to annual in the billing dashboard at any time.
- Do all paid tiers include AI?
- Yes. Pro gets 50 AI calls/mo, Adept 300, Master 1500. Adept and Master can connect their own OpenAI or Anthropic key (BYOK) for unlimited prompts and a $5/mo invoice discount. The AI runs on Claude or your provider of choice — astrology-tuned prompts, 9+ language output, citable when configured against your knowledge base.
What it replaces
One subscription. Six line items off your card.
The honest pricing question isn't $29/month vs $0. It's $29/month vs the stack of half-fitting tools you're already paying for. Here's what a typical solo practitioner cancels in their first month on Adept.

FAQ
More pricing questions
- What happens if I exceed my AI call quota mid-month?
- Calls beyond your tier's quota queue politely — the assistant will tell you you've hit the cap and offer to either pause until the month rolls over or upgrade you in-place. No surprise charges, no overage billing. Adept and Master can connect their own OpenAI or Anthropic key (BYOK) to remove the cap entirely and drop $5 off the monthly invoice.
- Can I switch between Monthly and Annual?
- Yes, anytime. Switching from Monthly to Annual is prorated against the cheaper rate, so you only pay the delta. Switching from Annual back to Monthly takes effect at your next renewal — your current annual term runs out first.
- Do you offer a student discount?
- Yes — 50% off Adept for verified students of any astrology school (Kepler, Faculty of Astrological Studies, RASA, Avalon, JAI, etc.) and degree-program students at any accredited university. Email students@astrolium.app with proof of enrollment.
- What if I run a school, coven, or studio?
- Master ships with 3 team seats out of the box and a shared client roster. For 6+ seats we have an Enterprise plan with SSO, audit logs, custom retention policies, and bulk migration help. Email enterprise@astrolium.app for a quote.
- Is there a refund policy?
- 30-day no-questions money-back on annual plans. Monthly subscriptions cancel anytime in the dashboard and stop billing at the period end — no email, no phone call, no retention loop.
- Do you sell my data or train AI on my client info?
- Never. Client data is encrypted at rest and never used to train any model — ours or anyone else's. AI calls run with the relevant chart context only, and the model provider doesn't retain data past the request. We sign a DPA if your jurisdiction needs one.
- What's the BYOK toggle actually doing?
- BYOK = bring your own key. You connect your OpenAI or Anthropic API key in settings; Astrolium routes the chart-grounded prompts through your account and you pay the provider at their token rate. We deduct $5/mo from your invoice and remove the in-app call cap. The key is encrypted at rest and never logged. Switch back to Astrolium-billed AI any time.
- Can I gift Astrolium to another astrologer?
- Yes — gift codes for any tier ship from the dashboard. Each code redeems for one month or one year at the corresponding rate. Useful for student gifts, school-cohort bundles, or workshop attendees. We don't charge a markup on gift purchases.
