Should you pay to grade that card, sell it raw, or hold? GradeOrSell answers with math, not vibes. Photograph the front and back of any trading card and the AI identifies it — year, set, card number, parallel, serial numbering, autograph, rookie — and assesses centering, corners, edges and surface. Live sold prices from eBay and PriceCharting fill in raw and PSA 10 / 9 / 8 comps. The engine turns your condition into grade odds, weighs the expected value of grading against selling raw, and gives you a one-word verdict with the dollars behind it: GRADE & SELL, SELL RAW, HOLD, or BULK. WHAT YOU GET • Live comps — real sold prices, pulled the moment you search • AI photo identification & grading — front + back, in seconds • The call — expected value, break-even PSA 10 price, grade odds • Grail guardrail — anything worth $100+ is flagged for human review before you list or ship it • Collection Triage — score a whole collection at once, sort by best net, export CSV • Cloud sync — your collection on every device WHY IT PAYS FOR ITSELF A single grading submission costs $19–$150 per card and takes weeks. One "don't grade this" saves more than a month of membership. One well-timed "grade it" on a $100 card typically adds $50–$300. PLANS Free — 10 live lookups a month, the full engine and collection tracker. Collector — unlimited comps, AI photo grading, trend signals, cloud sync. $7.99/month or $79.99/year. Dealer — everything in Collector plus bulk triage and priority processing. $19.99/month or $199.99/year. Subscriptions are billed to your Apple ID and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: GradeOrSell at none against Card Grading AI's shown. GradeOrSell also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Card Grading AI's advantage is ratings volume (630 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Card Grading AI sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and GradeOrSell sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GradeOrSell holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Card Grading AI has 630 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
