Searching for a phone psychic reading in the UK turns up a wall of near-identical websites, most of them owned by a handful of companies and most reviewed by sites that earn a commission when you sign up. This guide does something simpler: it compares the established UK lines on the things you can actually check — price, payment method, offers, formats and how they show their readers — and tells you which suits which kind of caller. Luv Clarity is included because we run one; we have tried to be as fair about ourselves as about everyone else, and we do not link to or earn from any other service listed here.
How we compared them
Five things, all taken from each company’s own public pages on 3 September 2026: the standard price of a 20-minute reading paid by card; the premium-rate per-minute price; any introductory offer and its conditions; the formats available (phone, text, email, chat, video); and whether you can see individual readers’ profiles and client feedback before you call. We did not score “accuracy” — no service can prove it and no review site can measure it.

1. Psychic Sofa — best standard card price and a guarantee
Family-run and trading for more than 25 years, Psychic Sofa publishes the clearest card pricing of the group: £16.80 for 20 minutes, £24.60 for 30 and £48 for 60, with a money-back guarantee if you do not connect with your reader in the first few minutes. Its app adds 15% bonus minutes on top-ups, and email readings are £15 each (cheaper in a pack of three). You need an account, and the site pushes the app fairly hard, but for a regular caller paying by card it is the benchmark on price.
2. Kooma — cheapest first call
Kooma’s headline offer is hard to beat for a first try: 20 minutes for £4.99, new customers only. After that, standard rates apply, so read the price page before your second call. Kooma has a large volume of reviews and an app, and offers instant-messaging readings alongside phone. A good place to find out whether readings are for you before committing to anyone’s standard price.
3. Trusted Psychics — widest reach, live chat
Trusted Psychics dominates UK search results and AI answers for psychic queries, and offers both phone and live chat messenger readings. Its advertised “from £0.55 per minute” applies to selected readers and payment tiers, so the effective price depends on who you choose; the site’s fair-pricing policy sets out intro and loyalty discounts. If you want text-chat readings with a very large reader pool, this is the one to compare.
4. The Circle — most formats
One of the oldest UK services, with more than 300 readers and phone, chat and video readings. Its introductory route is a freephone number at 29p per minute for a first 10-minute reading, and the brand’s television heritage (Psychic Today) gives it name recognition. Pricing after the intro varies by reader and method, so check before you commit.
5. Luv Clarity — card via a live receptionist, transparent profiles, cheapest email readings
Ours, so judge accordingly. Luv Clarity is smaller (around 45 readers) and newer than the four above. What we do differently: you call a standard-rate number (0330 114 0095), a receptionist takes your card payment and connects you — no app, no wallet, no account — at £25 for 20 minutes, or £20 for your first reading with the code WELCOME20. Every reader has a public profile with skills, tools, subjects and verified client feedback (440+ reviews across the site), and their live status is shown before you call. Email tarot readings start at £6.99, the lowest email price among the services here. We are independently rated 8/10 by The Psychic Review. Where we lose: we do not offer live chat or video, and our standard card price is higher than Psychic Sofa’s.
Which line should you choose?
- Trying a reading for the first time, on a budget: Kooma’s £4.99 intro, or Luv Clarity’s £6.99 email reading if you would rather have something written to keep.
- A regular caller paying by card: Psychic Sofa’s £16.80 for 20 minutes is the lowest standard price, with a guarantee.
- You want to see exactly who you are calling first: Luv Clarity — profiles, live status and verified feedback for every reader, and a receptionist rather than a meter.
- You want chat or video rather than a call: Trusted Psychics (chat) or The Circle (chat and video).
- You want to avoid premium-rate numbers entirely: any of them by card; Luv Clarity’s Readers Line is standard rate, and Psychic Sofa’s card line is a normal geographic number.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best phone psychic line in the UK? There is no single best line for everyone.

Choose by how you want to pay and what you want to ask.
How much does a phone psychic reading cost in the UK? Paid by card, established UK lines charge roughly £17–£25 for 20 minutes. Premium-rate numbers cost about £1.50 per minute plus your provider’s access charge — around £30 for 20 minutes. Introductory offers for new customers range from £4.99 to £20 for a first 20-minute reading.
Is it cheaper to pay by card or on my phone bill? Almost always by card. A 20-minute reading is £17–£25 by card versus around £30 on a premium-rate line once access charges are included. Card payment also gives you a fixed price rather than a per-minute meter.
Which UK psychic lines offer a money-back guarantee? Psychic Sofa advertises a money-back guarantee on card telephone readings if you do not connect with your reader in the first few minutes. Check each service’s current terms before you call, as guarantees change.
Are UK phone psychic lines regulated? Premium-rate services are regulated by the Phone-paid Services Authority, and advertising falls under the ASA’s CAP Code, which requires entertainment-only framing and prohibits medical, legal and financial claims. Reputable services state the service provider, price per minute and 18+ requirement clearly.
Prices and offers checked 3 September 2026 and may change. Readings are for guidance and entertainment purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical, legal or financial advice. 18+.
