The best dosha quiz, compared.
Which dosha quiz is most accurate — and what actually happens after your result? We compared InnerVeda, Banyan Botanicals, Sahara Rose, LifeSpa and Kripalu on the things that matter: whether you get a percentage or a single label, whether it separates your constitution from your current state, whether it gates your result behind an email, and what you get afterwards.

Who each one is
actually best for.
Every quiz here is a legitimate way to start. Pick the one that fits what you want next.
InnerVeda
Best for anyone who wants their result without an email wall and a plan that adapts daily — not a static page.
Banyan Botanicals
Best for a trusted, classically-grounded brand (~30 years, B Corp) and a structured free email course — if you don't mind sharing your email.
Sahara Rose
Best for an accessible, popular entry point into Ayurveda from a creator with huge reach and bestselling books.
LifeSpa
Best for a sophisticated, multi-dimensional read from a long-credentialed practitioner (Dr John Douillard) — if you're happy to give your email.
Kripalu
Best for a quick, no-email read of your dominant type from a respected non-profit yoga & wellness institution.
Best dosha quiz — FAQ.
It depends what you want from it. For a fast, no-email read of your dominant type, Kripalu's free quiz is good. For a credible, classically-framed quiz with a free education course, Banyan Botanicals is strong. For an accessible, popular introduction, Sahara Rose is excellent. InnerVeda is the best choice if you want your full tridoshic result with no email wall and a daily plan that adapts — a quiz that starts a practice rather than ends in a PDF.
No online quiz replaces an Ayurvedic practitioner consultation — every quiz here is a starting hypothesis. The most rigorous on the constitutional distinction are the ones that separate your inborn constitution (prakriti) from your current imbalance (vikriti): InnerVeda and Banyan Botanicals both do this. InnerVeda additionally scores every answer the same way every time, so identical answers always return an identical result, and Vaidya keeps refining it from your real data over weeks.
InnerVeda, Banyan Botanicals and Sahara Rose all return a breakdown across Vata, Pitta and Kapha rather than a single label (Sahara Rose splits it into mind and body). Kripalu returns a single dominant dosha. A percentage matters because most people are a blend of two doshas, and a single label loses the information that, for example, Vata-Pitta and Pitta-Vata need different routines.
InnerVeda shows your result with no signup until you choose to save it, and Kripalu shows its result instantly on the page. Banyan Botanicals and Sahara Rose both ask for your email before you see your result.
Most take a few minutes. InnerVeda's is a roughly 3-minute conversation with Vaidya, our AI Ayurvedic practitioner, and needs no signup until you save your result.
