ChaosSort is a collection manager for Magic: The Gathering built around one idea: your cards don't have to stay sorted. Add a card, drop it into any bin — a shelf box, a binder, a drawer you label A-01 or BOX-03 — and ChaosSort remembers exactly where every copy lives. No more re-alphabetizing. No more digging through boxes wondering if you already own a card. ADD CARDS YOUR WAY Add cards by name, paste a whole list at once, or bulk-import from TCGplayer and ManaBox CSVs. Pull entire sets from Scryfall to track your progress. FIND ANY CARD INSTANTLY Search by name, set, or bin. See at a glance where each copy is — sitting on a shelf or checked out in a deck. TRACK DECKS AND CHECKOUTS Build decks, check cards out to them, and check them back into any bin when you're done. Every move is recorded, so you always have the full history of where a card has been. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. Your collection lives on your device. No backend, no cloud lock-in.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Scrybin at 5.0 against HeroQuest's 4.0. Scrybin also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). HeroQuest's advantage is ratings volume (221 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
