How much does a medium reading cost?

Short answer

A reading with a medium usually costs more than a general psychic reading: roughly $75 to $300 for a flat private session, and often the higher end of by-the-minute pricing online. Well-known mediums charge far more and book out months ahead. Here a medium reading is the same flat price as any reading, from $39, with one of our vetted mediums on the line.

The longer answer

The honest range

Mediumship usually costs more than a general psychic reading, for a reason that is fair: fewer people do it, and the ones who do it well are in demand.

A private session with an independent medium, in person or by video, commonly runs $75 to $300 for 30 to 60 minutes. Well-known mediums, the ones with books and television appearances, charge far more than that and book out months ahead, and many of their readings happen in group settings where you may or may not be read at all. Online, on sites that bill by the minute, mediums tend to sit at the higher end of the range, several dollars a minute and up, so a 30 minute session commonly lands well above $100 with no fixed total until you hang up.

Very cheap medium readings deserve care. Connecting with someone who has passed is the reading where people are most vulnerable, and it is often used as the opening for the "there is something attached to you, pay me to clear it" scam. A low price is not proof of anything, but it is a reason to ask who chose this medium and how.

What you are paying for

A medium reading is longer and slower than a general reading, because the medium is working to establish who has come through and what they are trying to say before anything useful can be passed to you. A ten minute medium reading is rarely enough. Most mediums, and most people who have had a reading that mattered to them, will tell you that 30 minutes is where it starts to be worth doing.

You are also paying for honesty about limits. A good medium will tell you when nothing is coming through, and will not fill the silence with guesses. Readings are for entertainment purposes, and no advisor in the world is right all the time. What you should expect is a reading that engages the person you are asking about, not a script that could apply to anyone who has lost someone.

How it works here

A medium reading here is the same flat price as any reading, shown before you pay. For someone you have lost, we would usually suggest The Deep Dive, 30 to 40 minutes, $135, or The Hour, 60 minutes, $185, because a medium reading needs room. The Reading, 15 to 20 minutes, $75, works for a single question about one person. Prime evening hours run a few dollars more, and late nights a little higher still. Every price is on the calendar before you choose.

Choose "Someone I've lost" and you are routed to one of our vetted mediums, each of whom auditioned with live readings before joining. There is no curse to clear and nothing to buy on the call. If there is more to say at the end, you can add time with one tap, with the price shown first.

Every medium reading is covered by the CWP Guarantee: insight and clarity, or you don't pay. If yours didn't leave you clearer, tell us within 24 hours and we rebook you free or refund every penny to your card. For what a medium can and cannot tell you, see what can a medium tell you.
