MintMeter — The Smart Trading Card Tracker Know exactly what your card collection is worth — in seconds, not spreadsheets. Every collector knows the feeling: a shoebox or binder full of cards, and no real idea what they're worth today. Prices move constantly. MintMeter replaces the endless eBay searches and hand-built spreadsheets. Point your phone at any trading card and, in seconds, the app identifies it, pulls live market pricing, and adds it to a running portfolio of everything you own. SCAN A CARD. GET AN ANSWER. Line your card up in the viewfinder and tap. MintMeter's AI — powered by Claude — reads the card like an experienced collector, identifying the player, year, set, and card number, and assessing its condition. It even recognizes the details that drive value: autographs, relics and game-used patches, and special inserts or parallels. Every scan comes back with a confidence rating, so you always know how much to trust the result. Scan the front and back for a complete read, or analyze the front only when you're in a hurry. No card in hand? Pull any image straight from your photo library. REAL PRICES FROM THE REAL MARKET Identifying a card is only half the job. MintMeter answers the real question — what's it worth right now? — using live eBay market data. You see the average market price, a low-to-high range, and how many listings it's based on. For raw, ungraded cards, MintMeter adjusts the price for your card's actual condition, so a Near Mint copy and a well-loved one aren't valued the same. When a card is thinly traded, an AI value estimate steps in. And when there's genuinely no data, the app tells you honestly — no invented numbers. YOUR COLLECTION, ALWAYS IN YOUR POCKET Add any card to your collection with a tap. The Dashboard becomes your command center: • Total collection value, updated as the market moves • Month-by-month value history charts your portfolio's growth • Top Holdings — your most valuable cards, ranked • Breakdown by sport in a clean donut chart • Grade distribution, average grade, and your PSA 10 count Track relics, autos, inserts, and parallels as first-class details. Sort your whole collection to find any card fast. TAKE YOUR DATA WITH YOU Export your entire collection to a CSV file with one tap — perfect for insurance, taxes, or backup. Your data goes where you go. SIGN IN SECURELY Sign in with Apple to get started in seconds. Your collection stays synced and secure, with a built-in history of your recent activity.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MintMeter at none against Card Value's shown. MintMeter also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Card Value's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
