Free to download with basic features. A premium subscription unlocks the AI scanner, price history charts, multiple collections, and marketplace links.

How does scanning work?

The camera uses OCR to read card text, then AI matches it against the database, displaying name, set, rarity, and market price within seconds.

How accurate is the scanner?

High accuracy for cards in good condition. Lighting, card angle, and image quality all affect results.

What are Auto and Manual scan modes?

Auto mode continuously scans cards as they appear in frame. Manual mode lets you tap to capture one card at a time. Both include duplicate detection.

Are card images stored?

No. OCR runs on-device; only the extracted text is sent to our servers for card identification.

The scanner is not recognizing a card. What should I try?

Try even lighting with no glare or shadows, hold the card flat and fully visible, adjust zoom (1x, 2x, or 3x), use flash in low light, and confirm the correct game is selected.

How do I create a collection?

Go to the Collections tab, tap "+", name it, and pick a color.

Can I have multiple collections?

One default collection is free; additional collections require a premium subscription.

How do I add cards to a collection?

Via the card detail screen or directly after scanning — select the collection and set quantity.

How is collection value calculated?

Each card's current market price multiplied by quantity, summed together, using live TCGPlayer data.

Where do prices come from?

Sourced from TCGPlayer and updated regularly.

How often do prices update?

Automatically synced; data reflects the most recently available marketplace information.

Is local currency supported?

Yes — 30+ currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CAD, AUD, TRY, and more), changeable in Settings.

What are Price History Charts?

Charts showing price trends over 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month periods — a premium feature.

Are prices guaranteed accurate?

No. Prices are for informational purposes only and should not be the sole basis for buying or selling decisions.

What does premium include?

Unlimited AI-powered card scanning, interactive Price History Charts (1M, 3M, 6M), unlimited collections, and direct TCGPlayer marketplace links.

What plans are available?

Weekly and annual; pricing shown in-app. The annual plan offers significant savings.
