Know your grade before you send. Every year, collectors waste millions sending cards to PSA that come back 7s, 8s, or worse. At $30-150 per submission, that adds up fast. SlabReady puts a professional-grade AI analyst in your pocket so you can make smarter grading decisions — and keep more money. Now grading sports cards alongside Pokémon. HOW IT WORKS Capture 9 angles of your card using the guided camera system: front, back, tilts, and corners. SlabReady sends every image to Claude, one of the most advanced AI models in the world, for a thorough visual inspection. In seconds, you get a predicted PSA grade with a confidence score. No guesswork. No squinting at edges with a loupe and hoping for the best. INTERACTIVE DEFECT MAP See exactly what the AI found — and where. SlabReady generates an annotated defect map that breaks down each zone of your card: corners, edges, surface, and centering. Tap any zone to see specific findings. New in 2.0: a PSA 10 requirement breakdown shows you which specific criteria pass or fail, and a Photos tab gives you forensic close-ups of all 8 corners. GRADED SLAB MODE (NEW) Already-graded card? Point SlabReady at a PSA, CGC, BGS, or SGC slab and we read the company, grade, and certification number directly off the label. THE MONEY REPORT Grade prediction is only half the equation. SlabReady looks up current market prices for your card at each PSA grade level and calculates the actual ROI of sending it in. The Money Report tells you plainly: is grading this card worth it, or are you leaving money on the table? - Raw card value vs. graded value at your predicted grade - Cost of grading factored in - Clear recommendation: send it or hold it WISHLIST + DEALER MARKETPLACE (NEW) Build a wishlist of cards you want — and get notified when dealers send Indications of Interest. Or list your scanned cards for sale. Messages, IOI Feed, Listings, Feedback, and Market Analysis are all built in. INSTANT DEALER OFFERS Found a card worth selling? Request offers from local dealers right from the app. Dealers see your scan results and bid on your card. No haggling at card shows, no lowball offers — just real bids you can accept or decline. PORTFOLIO TRACKING Save every scan and build your collection portfolio. Track your cards, grades, and values over time. Watch your collection's total value grow. SHARE YOUR PULLS Got a juicy scan? Share-ready cards put your grade and card details front and center. WHAT'S SUPPORTED SlabReady grades Pokémon and sports cards. Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! coming soon. FAIR PRICING No subscriptions. No recurring charges. SlabReady gives you 3 free scans to try it out. After that, buy credit packs and scan at your own pace. You only pay when you scan — and a single scan costs a fraction of what you'd waste on a bad grading submission.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SlabReady at none against Card Grading Tool's shown. SlabReady also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Card Grading Tool's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
