Apps like Collectr for Pokémon cards
We make Mintproof, so weigh this accordingly. We'll tell you where Collectr is still the better pick.
Quick answer
Collectr is a strong choice for tracking a large collection like a portfolio. If you want something different, TCGplayer is built around its marketplace, Dex around master sets and variants, Rare Candy around binders and set progress, and Mintproof around telling printings apart, like Shadowless versus Unlimited.

How we compared
We read each app's own store listings and website on October 23, 2026, and compared only what those pages state: whether the scanner identifies the printing, whether the app helps you decide on grading, and which phones it runs on. Where a page did not say, the cell says "Not stated". We did not rank the apps, and we left out pricing on purpose, because it changes often; check each store listing. Sources are listed below.
