Your identity, verified once and reusable everywhere Ethos is accepted. Complete one check in under 30 seconds, then use your Ethos ID to get through the door, clear an age check, or sign in. No re-verifying at every business. No uploading your license again and again. Verify Once: Scan a government ID or passport, confirm it's you with a quick biometric check, and you're verified. Returning users are one tap and a biometric. You approve what's shared: Every request shows exactly what a business is asking for, and nothing is sent until you approve it. One scan instead of three: At venues and events, one scan of your Ethos entry pass confirms your ticket, your age, and your identity together. Everything in one place: Your verified credentials, your entry passes, and every verification from the last seven days. Backed by government data: Ethos verifies against authoritative government sources, and verification status stays current.

Perspective correction flattens your photo automatically • Works offline: every measurement happens on your device YOUR COLLECTION Save every scan with photos, grades, and notes. Track cards from saved to submitted to graded, then record the real grade and see how our call compared. We keep score honestly, even when we miss.

FREE AND PREMIUM Scanning and centering are free forever. Premium adds exact odds, dollar verdicts, BGS, CGC and TAG calls, unlimited saved cards with cloud sync, and the portfolio.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Ethos Social at free against HyperGrade's freemium. Ethos Social also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1). HyperGrade's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ethos Social sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and HyperGrade sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Ethos Social against 5.0 for HyperGrade. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ethos Social has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
