WHAT YOU CAN GRADE • Pokémon (English & Japanese) • Sports: Baseball, Football, Basketball, Hockey, Soccer • Magic: The Gathering • Lorcana • One Piece • Yu-Gi-Oh • Star Wars, Marvel, and more under "Other Non-Sports Cards" HOW IT WORKS Three independent AI passes evaluate your card on centering, corners, edges, and surface, averaged into a single grade from 1 to 10.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DCM Grading at none against Cajima's shown. DCM Grading also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.2). Cajima's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
