ComicScout helps comic collectors estimate value before they buy, sell, or add a book to their collection. Scan a comic cover, slab label, marketplace screenshot, or eBay listing URL. ComicScout identifies the issue, checks edition and reprint risk, estimates fair-market value, and gives a clear BUY, WATCH, PASS, or ASK verdict. What ComicScout does: • Identifies comic books from photos, slab labels, screenshots, and listing links • Estimates fair-market value using live listings, licensed price-guide data, and available market signals • Shows by-grade value guidance when available • Flags reprints, facsimiles, edition traps, restoration risk, and other details that can change value • Saves scan history and collection items so you can track books over time • Lets you use a share extension from Safari on comic listings Free tier: ComicScout includes 1 free scan per rolling 30-day period. ComicScout Premium: Premium has no monthly scan quota and unlocks the full deal report. A reasonable server-enforced daily fair-use and abuse-prevention limit applies and resets at 00:00 UTC. Premium includes a 14-day free trial for eligible users, then auto-renews at $6.99/week or $59.99/year through Apple. A one-time 20-scan pack is also available for $4.99 and does not grant Premium.

Both are free to download. visualDNA sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and ComicScout sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ComicScout holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of visualDNA's written reviews are positive against 0% of ComicScout's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
