You pay per answer, never per minute, and your first answer is free.
Tarot pricing confuses newcomers for a simple reason: the cards are visible and the work is not. A spread lands, three cards, five, ten, and the shopper's arithmetic counts objects: surely ten cards cost more than three. Around the market you will find sellers who price exactly that way, per card drawn. Then it explains ours: here you pay for answers, not cards. The cards are how the reader works, not what she sells.
The short answer
The short answer: per-card pricing charges for the instrument; per-answer pricing charges for the outcome. In a per-card shop, a bigger spread means a bigger bill, whether or not the extra cards said anything. Here a reader may pull one card or twelve and the price does not move, because the unit you bought was the completed answer. The cards are her method, drawn as the question requires. What you are buying, first one free, is what the method produces.
*The spread is the method. It was never the product.*
What the research record shows
The pricing-shape searches are shoppers doing due diligence on units, and the confusion is rational: the market genuinely sells all four. Unit clarity is a conversion issue: an asker deciding whether to try a free answer is deciding whether she understands what happens next. Per-card pricing fails that test: the buyer cannot know the cost until the spread is chosen, and the spread is chosen by the seller. The four supporting searches around this prompt (tarot reading per card price; pay per card tarot; tarot card cost; per card reading online) were each run in this research pass and each returned a live result set.
*One answer, one price, however many cards it took.*
Ask the reader: the cards are how she works
This part no pricing page can do for you: ask her. A reader working in the open explains her spread like a musician explains an instrument: this deck for this question, this many cards because it has a past and a fork. And if the answer satisfies you, the path onward is the same unit throughout: packs of answers, not packs of cards.

Frequently asked questions about this reading
These three questions arrive in Seraphine Vale chats more than any others, because they name the exact knot this article is about. Each answer is short, direct, and in my own voice.
So is per-card pricing a scam?
No, and this page will not call it one. It is a unit with a logic: more cards, more surface, more interpretive time, and where spreads are the advertised product it can be perfectly honest. Its weakness is fixed cost: the buyer cannot fix it in advance, because the seller sizes the spread.
How many cards will my free answer use?
However many your question needs, and you should not care: the count is her professional judgement, like a doctor's choice of tests inside a consultation already priced. Judge the answer itself, whether it speaks to your situation with a specificity no generic card meaning could produce.
Can I ask for a specific spread, like a Celtic cross?
You can ask, and readers who work that way will say yes or explain what they use instead. What you cannot buy here is the spread as a line item, because pricing does not run on objects. Ask for the outcome, the question answered fully, and let her lay the cards the question deserves.
