TCG Card Scanner & Values

The same card can be worth $4 or $46. The difference is the printing. Most scanners guess. Vaulta shows you every printing side by side, each with its own price. Scan a card, see what it's really worth, and watch your collection add up. KNOW THE PRINTING Normal, Holo, Reverse Holo, 1st Edition β genuinely different cards at genuinely different prices, sometimes ten times apart. After every scan you get them laid out side by side with their own market prices. When the read isn't certain, Vaulta says so instead of picking for you. PRICES THAT SHOW THEIR WORK Every price arrives with a receipt: low, mid, market and high, the printing it belongs to, the source, and the date it was taken. No mystery numbers. A price chart builds day by day so you can see where a card is heading. YOUR WHOLE COLLECTION, VALUED One number for everything you own, moving with the market. Sort by value, filter by game, track set completion, add what you paid to follow your profit, and see which cards moved this week. TWELVE GAMES IN ONE VAULT Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, Digimon, Flesh and Blood, Star Wars: Unlimited, Gundam, Riftbound, Union Arena and Dragon Ball Super: Fusion World. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Recognition runs on your device, so scanning never needs a connection. Download a set and it stays fully searchable and priced at a kitchen table, in a card shop, or on a plane. NO ACCOUNT. EVER. No sign-up, no login, no cloud. Your collection is stored on your iPhone and nowhere else, because there is no server to store it on. Export it to CSV or JSON any time β that's free and always will be. Vaulta Pro unlocks unlimited scanning, an unlimited vault, full price history, batch scanning, and portfolio insights. Not ready to subscribe? Buy a single scan and carry on. Built by one developer who got tired of apps that confidently show the wrong number.
