Trade pins with collectors you can trust. Pinloop is a home built for pin collectors to find each other and trade with confidence. Pin trading today means Facebook comment threads, DM roulette, and hoping a stranger actually ships. Pinloop fixes the two hard parts: finding who wants your pins, and trusting the person on the other end. Find the right trade. Catalog your pins with a photo, browse other collectors' organized boards, and get matched with people who want what you have. Post the pins you are looking for (your ISO list), and other collectors build the return offer. No more scrolling endless threads. Trade with people you can trust. - Every trader verifies their identity before trading. Real, accountable, adult collectors. - Your address stays in a private, encrypted vault and is only shared with a trade partner once you both agree, and only for that trade. - Every pin is shown front and back, with its condition and any flaws disclosed by the owner. - Delivery is confirmed by tracking. Add your own tracking number, or buy a prepaid shipping label right in the app. Meet your local pin community. Find and organize local pin meetups by city across the US, so the trading does not have to stay online. Central Florida collectors especially, this was built with you in mind. Built for collectors, by collectors. Organize your collection, browse as a guest before you ever make an account, and be part of a community that protects honest people. Pinloop surfaces what owners say about their pins; it never fakes a value and never claims to authenticate a pin. Become a founding member. The first collectors to subscribe become founding members, with a founding number, a founding badge, and early access to new features, at the founding rate of $4.99/month for as long as your membership stays active. Standard membership is $7.99/month. Founding member spots are limited. Pinloop does not hold your money or your pins, and never guarantees a trade or a pin's authenticity. Trust comes from verified identities, clear disclosure, tracked delivery, and consistent rules, not from a promise we could not keep. Pinloop is available in the United States. Pinloop is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Walt Disney Company. All trademarks belong to their respective owners. 18+. Trading requires identity verification, so Pinloop is for adults. Pinloop Premium is an optional auto-renewing subscription.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My Card Post holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Card Post has 69 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 98% of My Card Post's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pinloop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
