# MintCollect vs Card Grader Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Card Grader Pro at 4.7 against MintCollect's 3.9. Card Grader Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 46). MintCollect's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MintCollect sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Card Grader Pro sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Card Grader Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Card Grader Pro has 4.7K ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of MintCollect's written reviews are positive against 57% of Card Grader Pro's.

MintCollect ships an update weekly, Card Grader Pro every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
