ArrowPoint is the app for arrowhead hunters and artifact collectors. Identify a find from a photo, keep your whole collection in one place, display it in true-to-size frames, and see what other collectors are finding across the country. SMART ID: IDENTIFY A POINT FROM A PHOTO Take a photo and ArrowPoint's AI, trained on thousands of real projectile points, suggests the most likely types, ranked for the state where you found it. Open any match to compare photos, time period, region and typical size in the Library. MANUAL ID: NARROW IT DOWN YOURSELF Prefer to work it out by hand? Step through shape, base, notches and region until you land on the types that fit. THE LIBRARY A searchable reference of point types with photos, descriptions, time periods and the states where each is found. Filter by state, period and shape. THE VAULT: YOUR COLLECTION Log every find with photos, notes, type, measurements and where it was found. Sort, search and filter your collection, and see your finds on your own private map by state and county. FRAMES Lay your points out on a felt display board at their real size, just like a case on the wall. Choose from seven frame sizes, remove photo backgrounds automatically, arrange and rotate each piece, then save or share the finished frame. THE MAP Spin the globe, tap into any state and drill down to the county to see where finds are being shared. Exact locations are never shown: finds appear only at county level. COMMUNITY Share finds, follow other collectors, comment, and get help identifying a tough piece. Share any find in one tap. SAFE ON EVERY DEVICE Your collection is saved to your account, so it's there when you change phones. COLLECT RESPONSIBLY Always follow local, state and federal laws, and get permission before hunting on private land. ArrowPoint is free to use with monthly limits on Smart ID, background removal, Vault finds and frames. ArrowPoint Pro and Premium raise or remove those limits. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PCGS My Account at none against ArrowPoint's 4. PCGS My Account also leads on ratings volume (546 vs 44) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). ArrowPoint's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 35%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ArrowPoint sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. PCGS My Account asks for nothing beyond the download.
ArrowPoint holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3.

PCGS My Account ships an update every 2 months, ArrowPoint every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
