FateChart vs Jeomsin (점신): the saju chart without the counselor upsell
Jeomsin is where most Koreans check today’s fortune. FateChart is for the next question — what does my saju actually say, how does it compare with my Western chart, and can I read it in English for a friend abroad?
Pick Jeomsin if you want a Korean daily-fortune habit and access to hundreds of live phone counselors. Pick FateChart if you want the full saju chart (four pillars, day master, ten gods, ten-year 대운) free and ad-free, the same birth in Western and Zi Wei, an English or Japanese interface, and an AI reading you pay for only when you want one.

Where FateChart is the better pick
The chart is the product, not the funnel
Jeomsin’s free tier is ad-supported (ads removable with a paid pass) and points toward paid phone consultations. FateChart shows the complete saju chart free with no ads and no account; the only paid item is an optional AI reading.
Not Korean only
Jeomsin has no English, Japanese or Chinese interface. FateChart runs in Korean plus English, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai and Indonesian — useful for reading a foreign partner’s chart or sharing yours.
Western chart and Zi Wei from the same birth
Jeomsin’s public listings mention no Western natal chart or Zi Wei Dou Shu. FateChart casts both, plus numerology, from the same input.
Published calculation method
FateChart’s methodology page states its time-zone handling, true-solar-time toggle and the schools it follows. Jeomsin does not publish an equivalent.
Transparent, small-ticket pricing
US$3.99 for 10 credits (one full AI reading) or US$9.99/month. Jeomsin’s counselor sessions and ad-removal pass are priced in-app and not published on its website.
Life K-Line, celebrity charts, PDF
A free curve of ages 1–80, hundreds of celebrity charts in saju and Western at once, and a PDF/share link for any report.
Using FateChart alongside Jeomsin
Enter the same birth date, time and city. The four pillars should match Jeomsin’s 만세력 (both follow the solar-term calendar; FateChart shows the exact time-zone correction it applied and lets you toggle true solar time). Keep Jeomsin for daily fortune and live counselors; use FateChart for the full chart, the Western view and an English-language reading.
FateChart vs Jeomsin (점신): common questions
Is FateChart a free alternative to Jeomsin for saju?
Yes. FateChart shows the full saju chart — four pillars, day master, ten gods, five elements and ten-year 대운 — free, with no ads and no account. Only the optional AI reading costs credits.
Does FateChart have live counselors like Jeomsin?
No. FateChart offers an AI-generated reading that is clearly labelled as AI. If you want a human counselor by phone, Jeomsin is the better choice.
Can I read my saju in English on FateChart?
Yes. FateChart runs in Korean, English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai and Indonesian. Jeomsin is Korean only.
Will the pillars match Jeomsin’s 만세력?
They should, given the same birth time and place. If an hour pillar differs, check the time-zone note on FateChart’s methodology page — both apps convert clock time to the solar-term calendar, but FateChart shows the correction it used.
How much does an AI reading cost?
US$3.99 for 10 credits (one full reading, follow-ups 3 credits), US$14.99 for 60, or the US$9.99/month Fortune Pass. Charts are always free.
