Co-Star Alternatives in 2026: An Honest Guide

Why look for a Co-Star alternative?

Co-Star does what it promises and has the largest community in this space. The reasons people leave tend to be four, and none of them is a hidden flaw. They are product decisions.

Language. Co-Star is English-only: the app, the website, even its App Store listing outside the US. If English is not your first language, reading a nuanced interpretation of your character in it is a different exercise from the one you came for.

Tone. Co-Star's own description says it decodes human relationships through NASA data and “biting truth”. That is their pitch, not a defect, but plenty of people would rather not receive that in a notification on a Tuesday morning.

Price. Pro-Star costs $8.99 a month on the US App Store.

Scope. Co-Star is Western astrology. If you want other disciplines, or a journal, it is not trying to be that.

What are the best alternatives to Co-Star?

Astrolink and Horos are priced in euros; they target the Spanish-speaking market and do not list US pricing.

Are there Co-Star alternatives in other languages?

Yes, and they are better than they usually get credit for.

Astrolink is the closest to Co-Star in spirit: birth charts, synastry and a social layer where you can visit other people's profiles and exchange messages. Its monthly plan is €9.90, and its annual plan is €22.99 — by far the cheapest here. Its pricing is confusing, with overlapping monthly, six-month and annual tiers, so check what you are actually subscribing to.

Horos is the best-rated Spanish-language option: 4.8 out of 5 from 171 ratings. It offers full birth charts, an AI astrological assistant and an active forum. Premium access is a one-off €24.99.

If what you want is Western astrology in Spanish and nothing more, either of those will serve you better than we will. We mean that: Ovinchi is not built for someone who only wants their natal chart.

Is there a free alternative?

All six are free to download and charge inside the app, so the real question is what you can do without paying.

Co-Star gives you the daily horoscope and a basic natal chart. Astrolink and Horos calculate your chart for free and charge for the deeper readings. Ovinchi's free plan includes two welcome readings, the daily energy calculation, the full journal and unlimited goals.

None of the six is genuinely free. Anyone selling it that way is describing the model badly.

What if you want more than astrology?

The list thins out fast. Astrolink, Horos, Co-Star, The Pattern and CHANI all work from Western astrology. None includes BaZi, Human Design, palmistry or graphology.

Ovinchi brings those five disciplines together in a single interpretation. The difference is not five readings instead of one; it is how they are combined: it cross-reads the birth chart, BaZi and Human Design, and when they agree on a trait, that reading rests on more than one foundation. Palmistry and graphology complete it.

It also adds what none of the other five has: an emotional and gratitude journal, a dream log that finds patterns across entries, and goals with tracking.

Can I move my chart from Co-Star to another app?

You do not need to. None of these apps imports data from another, and none has to: your birth chart is calculated from your date, time and place of birth. Give any of them those three details and you get exactly the same chart.

What does not move is your history. Notes, journals and friend connections stay where they are, so export anything you care about before deleting an account.

Which one should you switch to?

• You want Co-Star but in Spanish: Astrolink.
• You want well-rated Spanish astrology with a community: Horos.
• You want depth on relationships and English is fine: The Pattern.
• You want readings written by human astrologers: CHANI.
• You want five disciplines in a single reading plus a journal: Ovinchi.
• You want the biggest community and the social feed: stay on Co-Star.

For transparency: this article is written by Ovinchi. We included Astrolink and Horos because they are real alternatives and leaving them out would have made this article useless to the person searching for it.
