Observed ranges across sellers in this niche — you set your own rate and can change it anytime.

If you read professionally, you already know the two bad options. Option one: a psychic marketplace like Keen, Kasamba, or Purple Garden, where the platform takes half or more of every minute, buries you in a directory next to hundreds of other readers, and pressures you toward discounted intro rates to win strangers. Option two: doing it yourself — posting readings on TikTok, watching your DMs fill with "quick question about my ex" messages, and chasing payment over Venmo or PayPal from people who ghost the moment you name a price.

The strange part is that the audience is already yours. If your readings get views, you have people who trust your gift specifically. What's missing is not demand — it's a clean way for those people to pay you and reach you live, without a middleman taking the majority of the reading.

What psychics sell on Cheddify

Per-minute live readings

Set a per-minute rate and a minimum duration, then toggle yourself available whenever you're in the zone. A follower taps your link, pays as a guest in their browser — no account, no app on their side — and you're face to face. The meter runs while you read. A ten-minute love reading, a twenty-minute general reading: they pay for exactly the time they use.

Booked sessions

For clients who want a longer, scheduled reading, offer booked sessions at a fixed time. Payment is collected up front, which quietly solves the no-show problem: people who have already paid show up.

Paid DMs

All those "just one quick question" messages become a product. Set a DM price and answer one-question readings on your own schedule — a yes-or-no pull, a quick energy check — instead of answering them free or ignoring them and feeling bad about it.

What should psychics charge per minute?

Rates vary widely with experience and demand, but sellers in this niche commonly charge somewhere between $2 and $8 per minute, with many established readers landing around $4. If you're currently on a marketplace at a headline rate of $5.99 per minute but keeping half of it, remember the number that matters is what reaches you — $4 per minute at an 80% keep beats a much higher sticker price with a marketplace commission behind it.

A worked example

Say you charge $4 per minute and take a 15-minute reading. The buyer pays $60 (plus about 3% card processing, which is billed to them on top — it doesn't come out of your side). Cheddify's fee is 20% + $2 per call: you keep 80% of $60, which is $48, minus $2, for a payout of $46. On a typical psychic marketplace commission, that same $60 reading often leaves the reader $30 or less. Payouts go straight to your bank through Stripe. Full details on the pricing page.

The honest part: Cheddify brings you zero clients

Cheddify is not a marketplace. There is no directory, no browse page, no stream of strangers — nobody finds you on Cheddify. It converts the audience you already have on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube into paid readings. If you have followers who comment on your readings and slide into your DMs, this tool turns that attention into income. If you don't have an audience yet, a marketplace that supplies customers is honestly a better fit for now — see our comparisons of Keen, Kasamba, and Purple Garden alternatives, or read about becoming a professional psychic to build your practice first. Many readers do both: keep the marketplace for discovery, and route their own followers through their Cheddify link so their community pays them, not a commission.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Cheddify take from a reading?

20% plus $2 per call, so you keep 80% of the call total minus $2. The buyer covers about 3% card processing on top, so it never comes out of your share. Claiming your link and setting up your page is free.

Do my clients need to download an app or create an account?

No. They tap your link, pay as a guest in their browser, and connect. You take calls on the Cheddify app for iOS or Android.

Can I use Cheddify and stay on Keen or Kasamba?

Yes. Many readers keep a marketplace for meeting new clients and use Cheddify for their own audience — the followers who found you on TikTok or Instagram shouldn't cost you a marketplace commission.

How do I get paid?

Payouts go to your bank account through Stripe, the same payment company behind millions of businesses. You can see your balance and earnings in the app.

What stops someone from booking and not showing up?

Booked sessions are paid up front, and per-minute calls only happen when you've toggled yourself available and accept. You also set a minimum duration on live calls, so nobody can connect for thirty seconds.
