The best Pokemon card price apps, compared honestly
For a free graded price ladder with real sold comps, use PriceCharting. For tracking a collection, use Collectr. For deep history, Card Ladder. OneZeroTwo is for dealers pricing a deal at the table. Prices below are as of September 2026. Updated 2026-09-13.
Written by someone who sells cards at shows and uses several of these. Every price and free-tier limit here was taken from the company's own published page in September 2026, and no affiliate link appears anywhere on this site. The two facts that are not prices, Collectr's user count and store rating and which pages currently win the "what is this card worth" search, come from the same month's research and are dated where they appear.
What each one is actually best at
- PriceCharting: The free graded ladder and the sold tape
- Free: Ungraded through PSA 10, 375 dated sold comps, the price chart and the PSA/CGC population report, with no account at all.
- Paid: PriceCharting Collector is $6 a month and adds photos of the sold listings. PriceCharting Legendary is $49 a month and is the API and CSV.
- It is also where this app's own sold-price history comes from, which is a reason to say so plainly rather than to rank it below us. Its graded coverage is mostly PSA.
- Collectr: Collection tracking and the social side
- Free: Portfolios with no published cap, a marketplace and a community, with scanning capped.
- Paid: Collectr PRO is $7.99 a month, or $59.99 a year, and adds five or more years of price history.
- Four million users as of September 2026, and the highest-rated app in this table at 4.9 stars over 65,000 ratings. If what you want is to catalog a collection and talk to people about it, this is the better app.
- Card Ladder: Depth of history and cross-market indexes
- Free: A price guide, a daily sales recap and the market indexes.
- Paid: Card Ladder Pro is $19.99 a month or $199.99 a year, with a 7 day trial.
- All-time sales across every marketplace, which is more history than this app has. Card Ladder has been owned by PSA/Collectors since 2021 and is bundled into their Collectors Club Premium at $199 a year, which undercuts its own standalone annual price.
- TCGplayer: Buying and selling singles, right now
- Free: Scanning, market price, last sale, a one year chart and five sold rows without an account.
- Paid: No TCGplayer seller subscription exists. A TCGplayer buyer subscription is $8.99 a month.
- It is a marketplace with a price tool attached, which means its number is the one you can actually transact at today. This app is not a marketplace and never will be.
- PokeScope: Search visibility and per-card guide pages
- Free: Five scans.
- Paid: PokeScope bills weekly, at $7.99 a week.
- As of September 2026 its per-card price-guide pages were the best-ranked answers to "what is this card worth" in a normal search, which is why they are the page shape this site now writes too. Note the weekly billing: PokeScope at $7.99 a week annualises well past any monthly plan in this table.
Prices change, and a comparison page that quotes a stale one is worse than no page. Check the company's own pricing page before you subscribe to any of these, including ours.
What OneZeroTwo does that these do not
One thing, mostly: it answers what to PAY and what to ASK, rather than only what a card is worth. Buyer and seller deal modes take the same market value and turn it into an offer and an asking price with the spread and the reasoning shown. Trade Mode puts both sides of a swap on one scale. The sales ledger records what you paid and what you sold it for, and exports the year as a spreadsheet at tax time. None of that is a price lookup; it is the arithmetic that happens after the lookup, which is the part a dealer at a table is actually doing.
The second thing is that the numbers state their own error. The next-sale estimate is backtested at roughly 2 to 3 percent median absolute error on liquid, densely traded cards, and the 3-month projection at roughly 16 percent median error. Those are two separate measurements of two separate things and neither is ever quoted as the other. A card with too few recent sales is marked illiquid and its confidence is forced down rather than being given a falsely precise figure.
The third is that asking prices are never mixed into sold prices. eBay active listings appear in their own panel, labeled as asks, and are kept out of the value, the chart and the stored history. That is the single easiest way for a collection total to be quietly wrong, and it is worth checking how any tool you use handles it.
Who OneZeroTwo is not for
Several kinds of people, and it is cheaper for everyone if you find out here rather than after signing up.
- If you want to catalog a large collection and browse it beautifully, use Collectr. Its collection experience is better than this one and its free tier is generous.
- If you need all-time sales history across every marketplace, use Card Ladder. This app's history deepens as cards get looked up; it does not start with a decade of it.
- If you want to buy or sell inside the app, use TCGplayer or eBay. Nothing here is for sale, there is nothing to bid on, and no listing is being pushed at you.
- If you only ever check one card a month, PriceCharting is free, needs no account, and will tell you what you want to know.
- If you collect sealed product, this is the wrong tool outright: the matching logic deliberately refuses to let a sealed box match a single card, so it will not price one for you.
- If you want investment advice, nobody here is licensed to give it and this app does not pretend otherwise.
How to compare any of these yourself
Three checks, and they take about five minutes each. First, pick a card you have actually sold and see whether the tool's number is near what you got; a tool that cannot price the cards you own is not the right tool however good it looks. Second, find out whether its number comes from sold prices or from listings, and whether it tells you which; a tool that will not say is telling you something. Third, look for a stated error or confidence figure. Almost nothing in this category publishes one, which is exactly why it is worth asking for.
