Lunar Haus vs Astro-Seek
Astro-Seek is a phenomenal free toolbox for people who already know their sidereal from their Placidus. It is also, by common account, a lot to take in. Lunar Haus is the readable chart for everyone else.

Who each one suits
If you are a serious student who wants seconds-precision input, dozens of house systems and traditional techniques, Astro-Seek is superb and completely free. If you want a chart that actually reads like a reading, in plain language, with no wall of settings to configure first, that is us. Both are free; they are built for different people.

Where Astro-Seek wins
Fair credit
For depth and breadth of free tooling, Astro-Seek is close to unbeatable: seconds-precise birth times, more than twenty house systems, around thirty sidereal systems, primary directions, fixed stars, a celebrity chart search and much more, all free with no paid tier. Serious astrologers rightly love it, and its maker answers feedback personally. If you want to go deep into technique, go there.
Where Lunar Haus wins
The honest advantages
It reads like a reading. Astro-Seek gives you accurate data and a short, generic paragraph per placement. We synthesise the whole chart, then interpret your aspect patterns and chart shape in warm, plain language.
Kinder words. Astro-Seek's cookbook text has a reputation for being harsh. Our interpretations are reflective and never fatalistic; that is a house rule.
No wall to climb. No adverts, no thicket of settings, no account gate, and a chart that works properly on your phone. You get a readable chart in one tap, not after a tutorial.
