NumevaShort answer: if you want numerology done properly — Life Path with master numbers kept, Expression, Soul Urge, Personality, personal year and day, name codes, compatibility, Destiny Matrix — and you would rather your birth date and name never leave the phone, Numeva is built for exactly that, in 24 languages, with a free tier that stays free. If you want tarot and astrology bundled in, Numerology & Astrology or Tarot & Numerology cover more ground at the cost of depth in each. If you want the largest library of written readings from a single school, World Numerology (Hans Decoz) is the reference. Everything below is checkable: ratings and prices come from the App Store on 24 September 2026, feature claims from the apps' own listings and, for Numeva, from the code we ship.
We make Numeva, so read this as a comparison written by one of the competitors — with the working shown. Where another app does something better, it says so.
How we compared
Numerology apps look alike on a screenshot and differ enormously underneath. Five things decide whether one is worth keeping:
- What it computes, and whether the math is standard. A Life Path that loses master numbers, a "compatibility" that is a random score, or a Destiny Matrix that reduces numbers a different way than every calculator your friend uses — these are silent failures. You only notice when someone with more experience corrects you.
- How it charges. Free with ads, free with a paywall at the first interesting screen, weekly subscriptions, one-time purchases. None of these is wrong; hiding which one you are in is.
- Where your data goes. Numerology needs your full birth date and legal name — the two most identifying facts about you. Some apps compute on the device; many send them to a server; a few build a profile on them.
- Languages. Numerology is enormous outside English — Vietnam, Brazil, Indonesia, Turkey, Ukraine, India. Machine-translated menus around English readings are not the same thing as readings written in the language.
- Depth of the readings. Two lines per number is a calculator. A page per number, with the shadow side and what it means in love, money and work, is a reading.
The comparison table
Ratings and prices: US App Store, 24 September 2026. "Languages" is what the store lists for the app. "Model" is how the app makes money according to its own listing and in-app purchase list.

A note on ratings: Nebula's 170 000 reviews are for an astrology-and-psychics product where numerology is a side feature. Numeva launched in 2026 and its review count is small; judge it on the table's other columns and on the free tier you can test in two minutes.
What each app is actually for
Numeva — numerology, all of it, offline
Numeva computes the full Pythagorean chart (Life Path, Expression, Soul Urge, Personality, Birthday, Maturity, karmic lessons and debts, hidden passion, planes of expression, pinnacles and challenges, transits and essences), personal year / month / day, compatibility for any two people, the 22-arcana Destiny Matrix, biorhythms, and the Chaldean and Cyrillic name schools side by side with the Pythagorean one — because a person who already knows their numbers should never have them silently replaced.
Everything is calculated on the phone. There is no account. Nothing is uploaded — not the birth date, not the name, not the journal. The readings are written per number and per language (24 of them), not translated menus around English text.
Free forever: the number of the day with a full reading, Life Path, basic compatibility, biorhythms, the journal. Pro (weekly with a 3-day trial, or yearly) opens the deeper layers: money, love and work lines every day, name codes, the 90-day horizon, the Chaldean school, life map. A one-time lifetime purchase adds unlimited people and The Book of Life — a PDF of the whole chart you can save, print or send to someone, including for anyone in your People list. That last part matters if you read charts for clients.
Where it is weaker: there is no tarot and no astrology, on purpose ("only numbers" is the product rule), no AI chat, and no web version — it is a phone app.
Nebula — the big spiritual-guidance app
Nebula is the category's giant: astrology, compatibility, psychic readings by chat, and a numerology section. It is polished, it is everywhere, and it is a subscription product with paid psychic minutes on top. If what you want is a guided, social, astrology-first experience with a human on the other end, it is the reference. If what you want is your numerology chart computed correctly and left alone, it is a lot of app around a small feature — and your data goes to a service by design, because the readings do.
Numerology & Astrology (Hanh Nguyen) — one app, three systems
Life Path, Expression, Soul Urge, Personality, personal day and year, a full natal chart with planets and houses, synastry, and daily tarot. For a single-developer app the scope is remarkable and the rating holds up at 3 600+ reviews. The trade-off is depth: each system gets a competent summary rather than a long reading, and it is English only.
Tarot & Numerology (Phuture Me) — tarot first
Sixteen years of development show: the tarot side is professional-grade, with optional AI spread reading. Numerology is a solid second feature. If tarot is your primary practice this is the better choice; if numerology is, you are paying for a large toolkit you will not open.
Numerology: Rediscover Yourself (Mirofox) — classic core numbers in 8 languages
A clean take on the core chart with readings in eight languages, and one of the better-rated pure-numerology apps (4.8 from 2 300+). Good if you want the essentials without a bundle. Fewer layers than Numeva (no matrix, no name schools side by side, no PDF documents) and less clarity about where the data is processed.
Numerology: Life Path Chart (infiniteNIL) — the veteran
One of the oldest numerology apps on the store (App ID from 2008), Pythagorean, computed on the device, with baby-name and compatibility checks. Small, honest, two languages. It shows its age in the interface and stops at the classic chart — no daily practice, no timing tools.
Pocket Numerology — Pythagorean and Chaldean, plus AI
Two schools in one app, angel numbers, and an "AI numerologist" for questions. Five languages. If you like the Chaldean system specifically, this is the other app that takes it seriously; Numeva shows both schools side by side and adds the Cyrillic school for Ukrainian and Russian names, which no other app on the list does.
World Numerology Collection — the Decoz library
Hans Decoz literally wrote the modern Pythagorean method most apps (including Numeva) follow. His app is a library of long readings — 20 personalized reports — sold individually. It is the most written numerology you can buy in an app, English only, dated in design, and it is a reading service rather than a daily tool.
Numerology & Biorhythm — numerology plus the three cycles
Numerology, biorhythms and the "psychomatrix" (Pythagorean square) in one small app, English only. Numeva also has biorhythms — with a date scrubber and the affinity of two people's cycles — so the overlap is real; the difference is the rest of the chart and the languages.
The questions the table cannot answer
"Which app gets the math right?"
Any app can compute a Life Path. The differences show up at the edges:
- Master numbers. Born on the 29th? A reduction that goes 29 → 11 → 2 loses the 11. The standard method (Decoz) reduces month, day and year separately and keeps 11, 22 and 33. Numeva keeps them; several calculators do not.
- The letter Y. In "Lynn" or "Iryna" the Y is a vowel; in "Yolanda" it is a consonant. Apps that treat Y one way for everyone get Soul Urge and Personality wrong for a large share of names. Numeva applies the positional rule (Y is a vowel unless it follows a vowel or opens a word before one).
- Destiny Matrix reduction. Sums above 22 are reduced by adding digits (23 → 5, 31 → 4) in the method every mainstream calculator uses. An app that subtracts 22 instead gives you arcana that disagree with everyone else's. Numeva uses digit sums — and says so on the screen.
We publish these rules in our guides so you can check us: how to calculate your Life Path and why Destiny Matrix calculators disagree.
"Which app respects my data?"
Look at the App Store privacy label ("Data Not Collected" versus "Data Linked to You") and at whether the app works in airplane mode. Numeva does both: no account, no upload, and every calculation works offline. Apps with psychic chat or AI readings cannot make that promise, because the reading happens on a server.
"Free or subscription?"
Weekly subscriptions are how most of the category charges, and they suit people who want a daily practice for a season. If you dislike subscriptions on principle, look for one-time purchases: Numeva's lifetime tier and its one-time reports (a year report, a wealth map, and the Book of Life) exist precisely for that.
Our recommendation
- Numerology as a daily practice, in your language, with nothing leaving your phone: Numeva.
- Astrology first, numerology as a bonus, with a human to talk to: Nebula.
- One app for numerology, natal chart and tarot in English: Numerology & Astrology.
- Tarot first: Tarot & Numerology.
- Long written reports from the Decoz school: World Numerology.
Whichever you choose, run your own numbers in two apps once. If they disagree on your Life Path or your matrix, one of them is not following the standard method — and now you know which questions to ask.
FAQ
Is Numeva free?
Yes — the number of the day with its reading, your Life Path, basic compatibility, biorhythms and the journal are free with no time limit. Pro adds the deeper daily layers and the full name chart; a lifetime purchase adds unlimited people and the Book of Life PDF.
Does Numeva send my birth date anywhere?
No. Every calculation runs on the phone, there is no account, and the app works with the network off. The only thing that talks to a server is the app store purchase system.
Which numerology system does Numeva use?
Pythagorean (the Decoz method) for the core chart, with the Chaldean school shown alongside for comparison and the Cyrillic-alphabet school for names written in Cyrillic. The Destiny Matrix follows the standard 22-arcana method with digit-sum reduction.
How many languages does Numeva support?
24: English, Ukrainian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Polish, French, Italian, Turkish, Dutch, Japanese, Vietnamese, Romanian, Swedish, Indonesian, Hindi, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Filipino, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish and Thai — with readings written per language, not machine-translated menus.
What is the best free numerology app?
For a free tier that is a real daily reading rather than a teaser, Numeva. For a free classic chart with no daily layer, Numerology: Life Path Chart is the honest veteran. Most other apps' free tiers end at the first interesting screen.
