The smartest way to track your entire collection -- figures, statues, Funko Pop, trading cards (TCG), LEGO, art toys, comics, video games, coins, books and more. Built by a collector, for collectors. COLLECTION ROOM & DISPLAY ROOMS See your collection at true scale in a museum-lit virtual room. Build shelves, cabinets and wall units with exact dimensions, drag your pieces onto them, and walk your own gallery. Every medium gets its natural case: trading cards in a 9-pocket binder or a graded slab wall, comics in a longbox, games and books spine-out, and coins on a felt tray. Share your showcase with a tap. SERIES & SETS Group items into series -- a book saga, a figure line, a Nendoroid set -- and track how complete each one is with progress bars. Set a target size, see each item's position (3 of 7), and know at a glance what is still missing. COMPLETE COLLECTION TRACKING Log every piece with multiple photos, brand, category, media origin, condition, grade and measurements. Enter just the height if that is all you know, switch between centimeters and inches, and set a release date as precise as you like -- a year, a month, or an exact day. Track each item from wishlist to preorder to owned or sold. Record what you paid in its original currency and your collection total converts automatically. 20+ built-in categories plus custom categories, brands and franchises you define. AI-POWERED INSIGHTS Collector uses on-device Apple Intelligence to analyze your collection and generate personalized insight cards -- value trends, budget health, display optimization and buying patterns. Runs entirely on your device for complete privacy. Premium. REGRET PREDICTION Before you preorder, Collector scores each item's regret risk using machine learning that weighs duplication, theme saturation, your satisfaction history and spending. It gets smarter over time as you rate items and mark them sold. FINANCIAL FORECASTING See your monthly spending forecast from preorders and upcoming release dates. Set a budget and a savings pot, then watch the visual risk gauge flag when you are overcommitting. A month-by-month breakdown means no surprises. ANALYTICS, GAMIFICATION & MORE Category and status charts, collection totals and item counts. Progress through collector levels, unlock achievements, and reflect on purchases with timed check-ins at 7, 30, 90 and 180 days. SYNC, WIDGETS & CUSTOMIZATION iCloud sync keeps your collection consistent across all your devices. Home Screen widgets for stats, budget and achievements. Choose your accent color and app icon; the dark neon design looks stunning day and night. YOUR COLLECTION, YOUR DATA Everything lives on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. No account to create, and the app works offline. Market values come from real recent sales, not guesses. One Premium plan includes everything: unlimited items, photos and displays, full forecasting, market value and CSV export. Monthly, yearly or lifetime, your choice. Built by a collector, for collectors. Your collection deserves better than a spreadsheet.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Collector at every 5 days against Vantage Point's every 4 weeks. Vantage Point's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
