Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iCollect Trading Cards Scanner at 3.9 against Flygrade's 3.4. iCollect Trading Cards Scanner also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (284 vs 18). Flygrade's advantage is review sentiment (44% vs 30%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iCollect Trading Cards Scanner holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iCollect Trading Cards Scanner has 284 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of iCollect Trading Cards Scanner's written reviews are positive against 44% of Flygrade's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iCollect Trading Cards Scanner ships an update every 2 weeks, Flygrade every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
