Question 1

What is Co–Star?

Accepted Answer

Co–Star is a widely used astrology app known for its stark design, daily push notifications and social features that let you compare charts with friends. It works in the Western tropical tradition.

Question 2

Should I use Co–Star or FreeAIKundli?

Accepted Answer

Use Co–Star if: You want the social layer — Co–Star’s friend comparison has no equivalent here; You prefer Western astrology, which is what most English-language astrology means; You want a daily notification habit in a native app; You enjoy the writing style, which many people do. Use FreeAIKundli if: You want Vedic (sidereal) astrology — the system used across India; You want dashas: Vedic timing periods that say when something is likely, not just what; You want nakshatras, yogas and dosha analysis, none of which exist in Western practice; You want marriage matching by Ashtakoota Guna Milan.

	Co–Star	FreeAIKundli
Zodiac	Tropical — fixed to the seasons	Sidereal — fixed to the visible stars, via Lahiri ayanamsa
Your sign	The familiar Western sign	Often one sign earlier, and read from the Moon rather than the Sun
Timing	Transits	Vimshottari dasha periods, plus transits
Marriage	Synastry	36-point Ashtakoota Guna Milan
