Collectr Alternatives: 6 Card Collection Trackers to Consider
Looking for a Collectr alternative? How RareTracker, PriceCharting, the TCGplayer app, TCG Collector, Dragon Shield and Card Ladder compare on price, graded cards, export and account requirements.
Key takeaways
- Collectr is a strong all-round app; people usually look elsewhere because of the PRO subscription ($7.99/month or $59.99/year in the App Store), the scan limit on the free plan, or export being a PRO feature.
- Free, no account, Pokémon/One Piece/Riftbound with sealed product: RareTracker.
- Free unlimited tracker with graded prices: PriceCharting (account required).
- Free scanner from the marketplace itself: the TCGplayer app.
- Graded-card investing: Card Ladder. Set completion: TCG Collector.
Why collectors look for a Collectr alternative
Collectr is one of the most popular collection apps — 4.9 stars from around 68,000 App Store ratings — and it does a lot: 20+ games, raw and graded comps, sealed product, scanning, price alerts and Japanese cards. The usual reasons people look around are:
- Subscription cost. Unlimited scanning, longer price history and export are in Collectr PRO: $4.99 a month billed annually or $7.99 monthly on its website, $7.99 a month or $59.99 a year as an App Store purchase.
- Getting data in and out. Export is a PRO feature, delivered by email. Imports accept TCGplayer CSV files sent to Collectr by email and take two to three business days.
- Wanting a lighter tool. Some collectors just want a running total in the browser without installing an app or creating an account.
If none of these bother you, Collectr is a good choice. If they do, here are the alternatives worth a look. Details come from each product’s own pages as of October 2026.

1. RareTracker — free, no account, in the browser
RareTracker is our own portfolio tracker. It is the closest match if you collect Pokémon, One Piece or Riftbound and want a value tracker without an app or sign-up:
- Unlimited cards and sealed product, priced daily from TCGplayer market prices.
- Gain or loss against purchase price, purchase dates and sold records.
- Watchlist; with a free account, sync across devices, 3 email price alerts and a weekly portfolio report.
- Pro ($4.99/month or $39/year, 7-day free trial) adds full analytics, CSV export, up to 100 alerts, multiple portfolios and photo scanning.
Trade-offs vs Collectr: no graded prices, three games instead of 20+, and no native app (it works in the mobile browser).
2. PriceCharting — free unlimited tracker with graded prices
PriceCharting’s collection tracker is free with unlimited collection size and supports grades, conditions, photos and profit tracking. Prices come from eBay and PriceCharting marketplace sales, and card pages show ungraded through PSA 10 values with sold listings. The free plan sends a monthly report and tracks price changes on 30 items; Collector ($6/month or $59/year) makes everything live and unlimited.
Trade-offs vs Collectr: the interface is more of a price guide than a portfolio app, and live tracking of the whole collection needs the paid plan.
3. TCGplayer app — free scanner and collection
The official TCGplayer app scans cards for free, tracks a collection after you log in and shows TCGplayer market prices, with buying built in. It covers Magic, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana and more.
Trade-offs vs Collectr: no graded prices or portfolio analytics.
4. TCG Collector — for Pokémon set completion
A web-based Pokémon tracker covering international, Japanese and Chinese cards and nearly every variant, with prices from Cardmarket and TCGplayer. The free plan allows one list of 300 cards; Premium ($3.99/month or $40/year) raises that to 300 lists of 3,000 cards and adds export.
Trade-offs vs Collectr: Pokémon only, and built for checklists more than portfolio value.
5. Dragon Shield Poké TCG Scanner — budget scanner
Scans Pokémon cards in any language, sorts them into folders, tracks value with daily TCGplayer and Cardmarket prices, sends weekly value emails and exports to CSV. Premium is $3.99 a month or $39.99 a year.
Trade-offs vs Collectr: separate apps per game, and no graded or sealed support mentioned.
6. Card Ladder — for graded investing
Card Ladder aggregates more than 100 million sales from eBay, Goldin, Heritage, Fanatics and others, with PSA, BGS, SGC and CGC population data. Pro ($20/month or $200/year) adds sales history, a valued collection and alerts.
Trade-offs vs Collectr: expensive, and focused on graded cards rather than raw binders or sealed product.
