Co-Star vs Hand and Stars
Co-Star helps you feel seen. Hand and Stars gives you a plan.
Co-Star is great at daily insight and comparing charts with friends. Hand and Stars takes your whole chart and turns it into a dated 30 day plan for love and money, for $39 once instead of an app subscription.
The honest difference
Co-Star tells you what the sky means for you today and how you match with the people you know. That can feel uncannily true. What it does not set out to do is hand you a step by step plan.
The Manifestation Blueprint from Hand and Stars does. It reads your whole birth chart and gives you your money code, your love code, your best months, and a 30 day plan where every day has a date and one small action of about 10 minutes. You buy it once and keep it.
What Co-Star does well
- Personalized daily horoscopes, with a daily push notification.
- Adding friends to compare natal charts and see your compatibility.
- Learning to read your entire birth chart.
- Optional premium extras, such as asking the stars questions, a personalized report on how you love, and Eros, a feature for couples.

Who each one is best for
Co-Star is a good fit if you love a quick daily check in, you enjoy comparing charts with friends, and an app on your phone suits you.
Hand and Stars is a good fit if you already know your signs and want to do something with them: a clear plan for love and money, with dates, that you pay for once.
You do not have to choose. Plenty of people read a daily app and still want a plan.
