This comparison is Naksham's honest view of the public-facing features of each tool as of April 2026. Names are trademarks of their owners.
Both tools score 36 points. Naksham adds classical citations and Parihar rules right inside your result.
Try Naksham Kundali MatchingKundali matching is a classical Vedic practice. Two birth charts are read together. The goal is to see how well two people may live as life partners. The main method is called Ashtakoota Gun Milan. Eight factors are scored. The total adds up to 36 points. Classical texts like Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra[1] and Muhurta Chintamani[2] lay out the full rules.
Many online tools now offer this match for free. AstroSage is one of the oldest and largest. Naksham is a newer brand built by Vedic astrologers. Both tools score 36 points. Both check for Manglik Dosha. The real gap shows up in how each tool frames the result and how deep the classical work goes. This guide lays out every key feature side by side.
Naksham's view is that a tool should serve the reader. A score alone is not enough. A source text behind each score builds real trust. A verdict at the top saves the reader from reading every row. A tone that stays calm matters when the reader is about to pick a life partner.
A quick side-by-side view. Each row is a public-facing feature of the Kundali matching flow in both tools.

Feature set checked on the public Kundali matching pages of both tools in April 2026. Please verify current features on each provider's site before any final call.
AstroSage is one of the oldest Vedic astrology brands on the internet. The team has built a large library of tools over many years. That track record means a lot in a field where trust takes time to earn.
For a user who wants a one-stop shop for many kinds of Jyotish tools in one Hindi or regional language, AstroSage is a strong pick. That is a real and valid use case.
Naksham was built for one clear job. Give the reader a Vedic match that feels like a real astrologer sat with them. Here is where Naksham's approach differs from AstroSage in ways you can see for yourself.
Each of the eight Kootas in Naksham links to a verse. Nadi Koota shows the rule from Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Chapter 7. Gana Koota cites Muhurta Chintamani's Vivaha section. You see the text behind the score, not just the score. AstroSage shows the score but does not print the verse source inside the result.
If the chart shows Manglik Dosha, Naksham runs all five classical Parihar rules. Mars in own sign. Mars exalted. Benefic aspect from Guru (Jupiter) or Shukra (Venus). Age after 28 years. Manglik to Manglik match. Each rule shows pass or fail. You see why the dosha is or is not cancelled, not just a short one-line note.
Naksham opens every result with one plain sentence. That sentence answers the real question. Is this a good match for me? The score, the table, and the chart sit below. You can stop at the verdict or read all the way down. AstroSage puts the score and house grid first. The reader has to work to find the bottom line.
Naksham never shows a red alert for a tough match. The worst tone is a soft amber. A kundali is permanent. The user cannot change planetary positions. So we frame low scores as growth areas, not defects. The reader is about to pick a life partner. A scary red banner is not the right mood.
Every match result has a one-tap WhatsApp share button. The share card shows the score, the verdict, and the Naksham mark with the lotus. Families can read the same result on their phones in under one minute. Our Kundali Matching tool treats the share step as a first-class part of the flow.
Your birth date, time, and place are among the most private data points you own. Naksham stores all birth data with AES-256-GCM encryption at rest in Supabase. Keys are rotated. We do not share birth data with ad networks. Each tool has its own privacy story. Please read ours and any other tool you use.
