Long-running phone and chat psychic network with a published screening process and a satisfaction guarantee.

We rank it #5 of 10 in our psychic readings comparison, with an editorial score of 8.5 out of 10.

8.5/10
Our editorial score

AskNow scores well on Advisor screening & profiles because it publicly describes a multi-step screening process with ongoing review of customer feedback, and on Customer protection for a published satisfaction guarantee. It trails the leaders on Reading formats & choice, offering phone and chat only, and loses a little on Pricing transparency because sessions continue at the advisor's full per-minute rate once introductory minutes run out.

Overview

AskNow says it has offered psychic readings since 2003. You browse advisors by topic, such as love and relationships, career, tarot and astrology, and each profile shows the advisor's per-minute rate, specialties and customer reviews. If you are not sure who to pick, the site can match you with an advisor, and you can request a callback when your chosen advisor is busy.

Readings happen by phone or online chat, around the clock. AskNow publishes a satisfaction guarantee: if a session disappoints, it offers a one-time credit of up to ten minutes toward a reading with another psychic. New customers are usually offered introductory minutes; check the current offer on the site before you buy.

AskNow FAQ

How does AskNow charge for readings?

AskNow charges per minute at the rate shown on each advisor's profile. You buy minutes in advance, and its FAQ says the reading continues at the advisor's per-minute rate when your minutes run out, so end the call or chat when you are ready to stop. Check the site for current rates and any new-customer offer.

Does AskNow have a refund policy?

AskNow publishes a satisfaction guarantee: if a reading does not meet your expectations, it offers a one-time credit of up to ten minutes toward a reading with another psychic. Check the current terms on the site.

Are AskNow readings accurate?

No one can verify the accuracy of a psychic reading. Treat any reading as entertainment and do not make important decisions based on it.
