The Pokemon Card Scanner
That Prices From
Real eBay Sales
Photograph the trade table and every card comes back identified and priced from real eBay sold listings — variant, grade, both sides of the deal. The exchange settles itself, and the cards you take in land in your collection with a cost on them, not just a market price. Scanning, pricing and trading are free. The $6.99 CAD a month is for the books.
The best free Pokemon scanner app — identifies cards with on-device AI and prices them from real eBay sold listings, not marketplace estimates. A Pokemon card scanner app that works offline, with 96-100% accuracy across 20,000+ cards. Built for the trade table.
Straight up: this is a closed beta. Android and iOS. Ask for access and we'll get you in. It works — it's just early.
Why Most Pokemon Card Price Checkers Get It Wrong
A collection tracker on one plan. A price-history site on another. eBay open in a third tab with the sold filter on. You paste between them, and at the end of it the trade sitting on the table in front of you is still yours to do in your head.
30 seconds a lookupType the name, filter to sold, scroll, squint, guess the variant. Times two hundred cards.
Nothing knows what you paidNot one of those tabs is holding your cost. So half your inventory doesn't have one.
Handwritten receiptsA scrap of paper you'll never reconcile, if you wrote one at all.
None of it closes the tradeThey price a card. They don't settle the deal, and they don't put the cards you took in anywhere.
Here, the only thing with a price on it is the bookkeeping.
Scanning, live eBay sold comps split by variant and grade, portfolio value, exchange settlement and the cost basis on your cards all sit in the free tier. The paperwork on top — receipts, the profit number, the grading maths and browser sync — is $6.99 CAD a month. That's the whole invoice.
Scan Your Entire Trade Table in One Photo
Seven screens, one deal, nothing typed twice. This is the loop the app is built around.
Scan one card, or scan the whole table.
You're behind the table and somebody wants to deal.
Open the app: one button scans a single card, the other scans everything in front of you.
Every card in the frame, named on the spot.
Lay the cards out and take one photograph.
Theirs on top, yours below. The app finds every card in the frame and identifies it on your phone, boxes and names drawn live while you're still holding the camera. No signal required to know what the cards are.
Both sides, priced off real solds.
Both sides come back filled in, with a price on every card.
Review Exchange pulls each price from eBay sold listings for that exact variant and grade. Read one wrong? Fix that one card with a tap. The rest are already done.
One line: who pays whom.
Set your cut once and the totals do the rest.
The app totals both sides and tells you who pays whom, recalculating every time a card moves. Exchanges and settlement are free, and there's no cap on how many you run.
Revenue, cost of goods, profit.
Complete the trade and Vendor Pro writes the receipt.
Revenue, cost of goods, profit, itemised down to the individual card against what you paid for it. This is the part that costs $6.99 CAD a month. The trade itself doesn't.
Straight into the binder.
The cards you took in are already filed.
They're in your collection, in the right binder, valued at market — and you haven't typed anything since you picked up the phone.
Cost and market, side by side.
Every card in your collection carries a cost, not just a market price.
Open one and you see what it cost you next to what the market is paying right now, with the recent solds underneath. Next weekend you know your floor before you quote a number. Cost basis is free for everyone — the receipt and the profit number are the paid part.
Who pays whom?
Drag the two sides of a trade. This is exactly what the app computes the moment you drop the last card on the table.
Their cards
Your cards
They pay you to balance the trade.
In the app this is instant, itemised per card, and printed onto the receipt.
Pokemon Card Variant Pricing — Every Version Has a Different Value
Most lookups hand you one number for a card that has four printings. Across the cards we track, two-thirds have variants that sell at least twice as far apart as each other — so pricing a Reverse Holo off a Normal comp isn't a rounding error, it's the margin.
Your phone fetches the eBay sold listings itself and sorts them into the right bucket: Normal, Holo, Reverse Holo, raw, graded. Thirteen grading companies kept separate instead of blended together. Estimated value, the eBay read and the TCG market price sit side by side so you can see when they disagree — and across two thousand-plus cards we compared, the asking price and the sold price disagree by more than 20% on 58% of them.
You quote off solds. So does the app.
- ✓Variant and grade selectors on the card itself — Holo, RAW, PSA 10, PSA 9
- ✓Recent eBay sales listed with real titles, thumbnails and dates
- ✓Unlimited price checks. No daily cap, no counter, no fair-use asterisk.
The sold listings the price is built from, with their titles and dates.
Graded, by company and by grade
A PSA 10 runs a median 13.6× the raw price, and the 9-to-10 jump on its own is 4.7×. Worth knowing before you pay to submit.
Works with no signal
Card identification, search and cached TCG market pricing run entirely on the phone. Live eBay solds are the one thing that needs a connection, because your device is fetching them in real time. Convention wifi is famously terrible.
Should you grade it?
The card detail screen has a Flip tab that does the arithmetic you'd otherwise do on a napkin. For the variant you're looking at, it walks every grading company and every grade, puts the estimated sale price at that grade against the raw near-mint price plus that company's grading fee, and works out the profit and the return for each one. It ranks them by return and stamps a verdict on each row.
It's an estimate off the same sold-listing data as everything else, not a promise about what your copy will grade. The app rates its own evidence, which is the part worth reading: the top row here is one sale and one star, and the PSA 10 under it is a hundred and one sales and three.
Real eBay Sold Prices, Not Marketplace Estimates
Every completed trade, filed and searchable.
We don't charge you to look up a card and we don't charge you to trade one. Unlimited eBay price checks, unlimited exchanges, settlement down to the dollar, your whole collection, and the cost basis on your cards: free, forever, with no counter running anywhere.
The $6.99 CAD a month buys the record and what you can do with it. Complete an exchange and the receipt writes itself: revenue, cost of goods, profit, itemised per card. It goes into a history you can search, it exports to CSV when it's time to file, and it syncs to app.card-exchange.ca so you can pull any of it up in a browser. At ten trades a month that's seventy cents a trade for a complete paper trail.

One card you'd have underpriced covers a year of it.
Join the betaThere's one reason to upgrade and it isn't a limit we invented: you want to know whether you came out ahead. Everything else, you already have.
Unlimited means unlimited — no counter, no fair-use asterisk. The eBay scraping runs on your phone, not on our servers: your device fetches the sold listings itself. Your thousandth lookup costs us exactly what your first one did, which is nothing. There was never anything to meter.
Pricing isn't live yet. Nothing is being charged during the beta, and everything above is how it will work when it is.
The table across the aisle, on your phone.
Check into the trade event you're actually attending and every priced card you own becomes browsable to everyone else who's there. They search, they tap, they make an offer. You counter, you agree, you complete it — without leaving your chair or unpacking a binder.
It's the event you checked into. Not a map of strangers near you.
- ✓One searchable grid of every attending seller's cards
- ✓Percentage against market on every tile, so a deal is visible at a glance
- ✓Offer, counter-offer and completion all inside the app
Put your card next to the one that sold.
A heavily played copy isn't worth what a clean one sold for, and the only way to close that gap is to look at both. Open a sold listing and your photo of the card and the seller's occupy the same frame. Tap to swap between them: the card doesn't move and the zoom doesn't reset. Swipe to reach the next listing. So you can work down the comps one at a time, flipping between their copy and yours, and judge each seller's condition against what's actually in your hand.
That's how you price a played card without guessing.
- ✓Your photo and the seller's in one frame — tap to swap between them
- ✓One swipe moves to the next sold listing, down the whole strip of comps
- ✓Zoom stays where you put it, so the same detail stays in view card to card
- ✓Every comp's price sits on its thumbnail, so the spread across conditions is visible before you open one
The price comes from a million and a half sold listings.
Not asking prices, not a blended average, and not a number somebody typed in. The pricing you see in the app sits on completed sales, recency-weighted, split by variant and grade.
Across the cards we compared, ask and sold diverge by more than 20% on 58% of them. Two-thirds have variants selling at least 2× apart. The top 10% of cards account for half of all sales, and one in four cards worth $20 or more moves more than 10% in a month.
Collectors: the good part is the free part.
You don't need the trade tooling. You need to know what your binder is worth, catalogue it without typing, and stop getting lowballed. That's the free tier, and it stays free.
- ✓Photograph your collection into a priced, searchable binder
- ✓Portfolio value and set-completion tracking
- ✓Walk into a trade already knowing the real number for their card and yours
- ✓Unlimited live eBay price checks and unlimited offline pricing — no caps, no counters

Straight answers.
Is it actually free, or is this a trial?
Free is free, permanently, and there's more in it than you'd expect. Scanning — one card or a whole table at once — card identification, unlimited live eBay price checks, offline market pricing, your collection, binder view, portfolio value, browsing event marketplaces, and trading, including unlimited exchanges, the automatic settlement math and the cost basis on the cards you acquire: all of it costs nothing and always will. The paid tier is the paperwork on top — auto-generated receipts, receipt history with CSV export, profit tracking, the grading ROI math, and syncing all of it to your browser at app.card-exchange.ca — at $6.99 CAD a month.
Do I have to pay to trade?
No. Run as many exchanges as you want, settle them, complete them: free, uncapped, forever. We're not going to stand between you and a deal and ask for $6.99 CAD. What you pay for is the record afterwards — the receipt, and what you netted.
So what exactly costs money?
The paperwork and the analysis on top of it. That's the whole list: auto-generated receipts on completed exchanges, the searchable receipt history with CSV export, profit tracking across your trades, the grading ROI math in the Flip tab, and syncing your receipts, exchanges and collection to app.card-exchange.ca so you can work from a browser. Everything else is free and uncapped — scanning single cards or whole tables, pricing, trading, settlement, and the cost basis on the cards you acquire.
Can it really scan a whole table of cards at once?
Yes — one photo, not one card at a time. Lay the cards out, shoot, and the app finds each card in the frame, identifies it on your phone and prices it by variant and grade, with the two sides of the trade assigned for you. Then it shows you the whole spread for review: if it read a card wrong, you fix that one card with a tap instead of re-shooting. It's free, like the rest of scanning.
Unlimited eBay price checks, free? What's the catch?
There isn't one, and the reason is boring rather than generous. The eBay scraping runs on your phone, not on our servers — your device fetches the sold listings itself. So your thousandth lookup of the day costs us exactly what your first one did, which is nothing. There was never anything for us to meter, so we don't. Price a whole box of duplicates, re-check a card six times while you haggle over it: same price either way.
Does it work offline?
Card identification and search work fully offline — the model and the roughly 20,000-card index live on your phone. TCG market pricing is cached on the device and refreshed daily, so it's there without a signal too. Live eBay sold listings, the event marketplace and completing a trade with someone are the things that need a connection. Venue wifi is usually terrible, so plan on your own data.
How accurate is the pricing?
It's built on actual completed sales, not asking prices, and it's separated by variant and grade — a Reverse Holo isn't averaged in with a PSA 10. Prices are recency-weighted so last week counts for more than last year. Two sources feed it: live eBay sold listings scraped by your own phone at the moment you ask, and a TCG market price file that downloads to your device and updates daily. It's a strong read on the market, not an appraisal, and thin sales data on a rare card means a wider range — so the app shows you the underlying sales and lets you judge.
Is there an iPhone version?
Yes! The iOS beta is available now via TestFlight. Tap the install link below to get it.
Can I use this without downloading an app?
Yes — visit app.card-exchange.ca to search cards, check prices, manage your collection, and run exchanges right in your browser. Install the free Chrome extension to add live eBay sold prices on top of the market data. The web app works on any device — phone, tablet or desktop.
How do I get in during the beta?
For Android, join the beta testers group below to unlock the Google Play link — takes about a minute. For iOS, tap the TestFlight link to install directly. Vendors go to the front of the line.
What happens to my data?
Card identification runs entirely on your phone — card images aren't uploaded anywhere to be recognised. Your account uses Firebase Auth, and your collection, exchanges and receipts sync to our own server so you can get them back on a new device. It's a small operation, not an ad business. A full privacy policy ships with the public release.
Your thousandth lookup costs us what your first one did.
Which is nothing. The eBay scraping runs on your phone, not on our servers — your device fetches the sold listings itself. There was never anything for us to meter, so we don't.
Price a whole box of duplicates. Re-check a card six times while you haggle over it. Same price either way: no counter, no fair-use asterisk.
