Where this comparison comes from

Vaastu AI is software, built and operated by Waggle Dance LLP. We employ no human Vaastu consultants, run no consultant marketplace, and take no referral commissions today. If this page tells you to hire a human, we earn nothing from it — which is exactly why it is worth reading.

What a human Vaastu consultant actually does

Most people shopping for an online Vaastu consultant have never seen the offline process, which makes a quote impossible to judge. It has six parts.

Site visit

They walk the property — plot shape, slope, road position, adjoining structures, water sources, open space on each side. None of it appears on a drawing.

Magnetic compass reading

A reading is taken on site with a magnetic compass or Vaastu chakra, usually from the plot centre, rather than trusting the North arrow printed on a builder plan.

Plot and building measurement

Dimensions are measured and often checked against Aaya or Ayadi calculations, so what was actually built is assessed instead of the brochure figures.

Family details

Many traditions ask for occupants’ names and birth details, sometimes horoscopes, and tailor prescriptions to whoever will use a particular room.

Remedies

Advice ranges from free furniture rearrangement to paint, mirrors, yantras and, at the extreme end, structural change. Quality varies more here than anywhere else.

Follow-up

Good consultants revisit after changes are made, or stay reachable through construction. This is the part quietly missing from a cheap quote.

What a Vaastu consultation costs in India

Vaastu consultancy is unregulated, so fees follow reputation and city rather than any standard. Treat these bands as a negotiating reference, not a price list.

The Rs 299 report is charged once for that report, not as a subscription. Outside India it is priced locally — about $5 in the US, GBP 4 in the UK, EUR 5 in Germany. Full detail on the pricing page.

What an online Vaastu consultation can and cannot do

Any software claiming to replace a consultant outright is overselling. The honest boundary:

What the AI does well

  • Reads the plan geometry and places every room in its directional zone
  • Applies the documented rules identically to every room, every time
  • Returns a result in minutes, not days
  • Costs Rs 0 for the free check, Rs 299 for the full report
  • Compares three shortlisted flats as cheaply as one
  • Answers follow-ups in chat with no hourly clock running
  • Works in ten Indian languages
  • Never upsells a remedy — nothing is sold after the report

What it genuinely cannot do

  • Visit the site or see the building itself
  • Read the magnetic orientation for you — you supply North
  • Judge the surroundings: roads, slope, neighbours, transformers
  • Assess road level, soil, water table or borewell placement
  • Give horoscope-linked or astrologically personalised prescriptions
  • Supervise construction or correct a builder mid-work
  • Confirm the plan you uploaded matches what was actually built

The North question deserves emphasis: it is the largest single source of error in any online Vaastu consultation. You set the orientation at the map step, and everything downstream rests on that. If you are unsure how to take the reading, read the Vaastu compass guide before uploading.

Which one do you need?

The useful question is not “AI or human” but how reversible your decision is. Cheap and instant suits reversible choices; expensive and thorough suits the ones you cannot undo.

The free AI check is enough when

  • Screening a flat before you book it or pay a token
  • Comparing shortlisted options on the same yardstick
  • Sanity-checking a builder or architect plan before signing
  • Renting, where structural changes are not an option
  • Learning the vocabulary before you talk to a consultant
  • The quoted fees are out of proportion to the decision

Pay a human consultant when

  • Building from scratch, while the plan can still change on paper
  • Buying a plot, where slope and surroundings decide most of it
  • Moving a staircase, kitchen or toilet — real structural work
  • Your family wants ritual guidance or horoscope-linked advice
  • The property is commercial, industrial or unusually shaped
  • You want someone accountable in person for the assessment

They are not exclusive. A sensible sequence: run the free check across a shortlist, drop the poor layouts, then pay a consultant to examine the one you are serious about. For apartments, the Vaastu for flats guide covers what applies when you cannot move a wall.

How to choose a human Vaastu consultant

If a human is the right call, the gap between a good engagement and a bad one is set almost entirely at the start.

Ask for these before you pay

  • A written report — verbal advice cannot be checked later or handed to your architect.
  • The total fee in writing, travel included, and the cost of a second visit.
  • Whether remedies are billed separately. Ask directly: do you sell the items you prescribe?
  • Two or three references from homes like yours, in your city.
  • Which tradition they follow — lineages differ, and knowing which you bought prevents confusion.

Treat these as warning signs

  • Expensive demolition prescribed on a first visit, before measurement or a written assessment.
  • Costly gemstones or ritual items sold by the consultant, especially with urgency attached.
  • Sales language built on fear — predictions of illness, loss or family breakdown.
  • Guaranteed outcomes. Nobody can promise wealth or health from a layout change.
  • Refusal to put scope and fee on paper, or a quote that moves after the site visit.

How the free Vaastu consultation works

Three steps, no account, and you see the score before payment is mentioned.

  1. 1

    Upload the floor plan. A builder brochure page, an architect drawing, a scanned sanction plan or a clear phone photo. JPG, PNG or PDF, up to 25MB.

  2. 2

    Confirm North. The AI detects the rooms and shows them on a compass and map step. Correct anything mislabelled and set the orientation — this step decides whether the rest means anything.

  3. 3

    Read the free report. Vaastu score, basic space analysis, element balance, key recommendations and two AI chat replies. The Rs 299 upgrade adds full directional and room-by-room analysis, energy-flow and element mapping, specific remedies, prosperity zones, entrance optimisation and unlimited chat.

Online Vaastu consultation: common questions

Is online Vaastu consultation reliable?

For anything judged from the plan geometry — which direction each room sits in, where the entrance falls, whether the kitchen or toilet is in an awkward zone — an online Vaastu consultation is reliable, because that is all in the drawing. It is incomplete when the answer depends on what a drawing cannot show: plot slope, road level, an overhead tank, a transformer next door.

How much does a Vaastu consultant cost in India?

Roughly Rs 5,000 to 15,000 for an entry-level plan review or small flat; Rs 15,000 to 50,000 for a 3-4 BHK with a site visit and written report; Rs 50,000 to 2,00,000 or more for well-known consultants and commercial premises. Out-of-city visits are often quoted per day, commonly around Rs 31,000 plus travel.

Can I get a free Vaastu consultation?

Yes. Upload the floor plan, confirm North, and you get an overall Vaastu score, basic space analysis, element balance overview, key recommendations and two AI chat replies — free, with no signup. The full room-by-room breakdown, energy-flow mapping, specific remedies and unlimited chat cost Rs 299 in India, charged once per report, not as a subscription.

Do I need to know which way is North?

Approximately, and the tool helps you fix it. After upload there is a compass and map step where you rotate the plan until North on the drawing matches North in reality — most people use their phone compass or find the building on a satellite map. A few degrees of error is tolerable; confusing North with East is not, because it shifts every room into the wrong zone.

Is AI Vaastu analysis as good as a consultant?

It is better at some things and cannot do others at all. The AI applies documented rules to every room consistently, in seconds, with no incentive to sell remedies. A good consultant brings site inspection, an on-the-ground compass reading, judgement about the surroundings and, in some traditions, horoscope-linked advice. For screening a flat the AI is usually enough; for new construction, a human earns the fee.

Want a human Vaastu expert through us?

We do not offer that today — there are no human consultants behind Vaastu AI. To be told if that changes, you can register interest by email. Until then, run the free AI check and take its report to whichever consultant you engage locally.
