About
One line: Live access to real people, paid by the minute.
One sentence: Cheddify is a marketplace where you can browse people who are available right now and pay per minute to talk to them over live video.
One paragraph: Cheddify is a real-time marketplace for live human access. Experts, creators, and personalities — psychics, coaches, consultants, tutors, wellness guides, and more — set a per-minute rate and toggle themselves available. They appear in a live grid that updates in real time as creators come online. Buyers tap to connect, pay only for the minutes they use, and end the call whenever they have what they came for. The product is human availability.
Founder
Michael Pettenato — founder and CEO of Cheddify. Based in the United States. Available for interviews on the live-call marketplace category, the future of pay-per-time products, and how Cheddify differs structurally from older psychic and creator platforms.

Why Cheddify is different
The four major incumbents in the online psychic category — Keen (founded 1999), California Psychics (1995), Kasamba (1999), and Psychic Source (1989) — share a single architectural pattern: phone-based call dispatch designed before mobile-first existed. Cheddify is built differently in three structural ways:
- Video as default. Readers and buyers can see each other live over video. Tarot readings in particular benefit dramatically — the buyer watches every card hit the spread instead of trusting verbal narration. Incumbents are phone-only.
- Pay-per-minute, no packages. No 30/60-minute bundles, no subscriptions, no minimum spend. The meter starts on connect and stops on hangup. Most readings naturally take 10–20 minutes; we don't artificially extend them.
- Real reviews only. Every rating comes from a verified, paid caller. We don't seed reviews, don't filter negative feedback, and are transparent about which profiles are unclaimed creator placeholders versus active live readers.
