Purple Garden vs Kasamba: Video Readings or a Long-Running Network
Purple Garden
Kasamba
Purple Garden is an app-first marketplace run by Barges Technologies that connects you with independent advisors by text or video. Its catalogue covers love, tarot, astrology, mediumship, angel and oracle readings and dream analysis, and it runs a rewards scheme that adds free minutes as you spend.
Kasamba has been operating for more than 25 years and lists psychic, astrology, numerology, tarot, palm and career readings. You can connect by live chat or phone, and your first live session starts with three free minutes.
Both screen the advisors they list and both offer up to a fixed amount of credit to try another advisor if a reading disappoints. The difference is the format and the feel: Purple Garden is built around a modern app with video, Kasamba around a large, long-standing directory with chat and phone. Purple Garden's terms say advice is for general entertainment and is not a substitute for a qualified professional.

Our verdict
Purple Garden is our first pick for most readers because it is the easier service to use well. The app is clean, advisor profiles show ratings and reading counts up front, and video readings give a face-to-face feel that text alone does not. The rewards scheme also suits people who come back regularly.
Choose Kasamba if you want to try before you commit. The three free minutes on your first reading let you judge whether an advisor suits you before the per-minute rate starts, and its live chat suits people who would rather type than talk. Its long track record and broad list of specialities are the other reasons to look there first.
Whichever you use, treat a reading as entertainment. Neither service replaces advice from a doctor, lawyer, financial adviser or counsellor, and per-minute rates vary by advisor, so check the rate before you start.
