Got a box of loose minifigures, or a set on the shelf, and no idea what it's worth? Brick Loupe tells you in seconds. Know the price before you buy, sell or bid. SCAN A WHOLE PILE OF MINIFIGURES Aim your camera at a pile. Brick Loupe finds every minifigure in the photo, identifies each one and shows its market value, all at once. No typing, no guessing, no scanning figures one by one. SCAN A SET, FIND ONLINE PRICES Switch to Sets mode and aim at any set or box. You see its value and the cheapest new price online from eBay and other shops, with a direct link. Online prices are available in the US, the UK, Canada, Australia and most of Europe. LIVE CHECK: PRICES WHILE YOU WATCH Watching a Whatnot show or reading an eBay listing? Start Live Check, open the other app, and Brick Loupe prices the minifigures and sets on your screen. The total and the most valuable items show in the Dynamic Island (or as a notification); tap it for the full list. Live Check includes 3 free results; Brick Loupe Pro makes it unlimited. HOW IT WORKS 1. Take a photo of your minifigures or a set. 2. Each item is identified with its catalog ID and a match score. 3. See the value of each figure and the total for the whole lot. REAL PRICES, NOT GUESSES Every value comes from real BrickLink sold listings: the prices collectors actually paid, in used and new condition. A fair guide to what your figures and sets are worth, not a number pulled from thin air. WISHLIST AND PRICE ALERTS Like a set, but not at today's price? Add it to your wishlist and pick an alert: any drop, 10% or 20% below today's cheapest new price. When the price drops, you see it on the Collection tab. YOUR COLLECTION Save minifigures and sets to your collection and watch the total value live. No account needed: sign in only when you want your collection on more than one device. Export it at any time as a spreadsheet (CSV) or as a BrickLink Wanted List (XML). IN YOUR CURRENCY AND LANGUAGE Values in 14 currencies, converted at European Central Bank reference rates. The app speaks 11 languages. Individual parts are not supported. Your first scan is free. BRICK LOUPE PRO Brick Loupe Pro gives you unlimited scans and unlimited Live Check. It is an optional auto-renewing subscription: weekly, monthly or yearly. You can also buy one-time scan packs. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BrickNav at none against Brick Loupe's 7. BrickNav also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Brick Loupe's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
