COLLECTA — THE RECORD FOR SERIOUS ART COLLECTIONS Point your iPhone at an artwork. Collecta reads the artist, title, medium and condition, estimates a value range from real auction sales, and drafts a complete record. Nothing enters your collection until you confirm it. Whether you own 10 pieces or 500, Collecta gives you one place to know what you own, what it's worth, and where it is. THE SCANNER Frame the work and take the shot. Collecta drafts the record, then asks you first: · Add to collection, as drafted · Edit details before it's saved · Not now, which keeps the scan in To check for later Every value stays editable after it's saved: tap a field and change it in place. YOUR SYSTEM OF RECORD Stop managing your collection across spreadsheets, email threads and memory. Collecta structures every work with: · Provenance and ownership history · Exhibitions and loans · Condition reports and conservation notes · Estimate history over time · Insurance documentation from any record Search everything. Export it as PDF or CSV whenever you like. MARKET DATA FROM REAL SALES · Millions of auction records from the major auction houses · Artist market profiles with price movement over time · Auction comparables for each work · AI-assisted provenance research Estimates are grounded in real sales and show the sales they're based on. SEE IT ON YOUR WALL Take one straight-on photo of a wall and Collecta places your work on it at true scale, so you see how a piece will hang before you move it. Or walk your collection through a virtual gallery. SHARE AND DOCUMENT · Share selected works with an advisor, insurer or family through a private link · Insurance packets, certificates and a printable inventory as PDFs · Keep dealer contacts, loans and consignments in one place PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your records start private. Sharing is always deliberate and always in your control. Collecta is not a social network; it is the private record of your collection. PLANS Free: unlimited works in your record, your first 30 AI reads, then 5 a month, and one share link. Collecta Pro ($29.99 a month or $289.99 a year): unlimited AI reads, auction comparables, provenance research, insurance and certificate PDFs, and unlimited share links.
