Check prices. Scan slabs. Review sales. Manage your collection. Everything in one professional-grade app. OpenHolo is built for card collectors. It brings marketplace pricing, real sales, PSA data, scanning and collection management into one clear, powerful interface, helping you understand card values and market movement faster. ALL MARKETS, ONE CLEAR VIEW Market data from SNKRDUNK, eBay and other sources is brought together in one view. Ungraded cards and each PSA grade are shown separately, so you can compare the same condition without checking every marketplace yourself. MORE THAN THE ASKING PRICE Explore sales trends, PSA population by grade, Gem Rate, market liquidity, seller photos and active listings. You see more than a single price. You see the sales activity and available supply behind it. POINT. SCAN. FIND THE CARD. Point your camera at any card or a PSA label to instantly find the matching card and pricing data. Ungraded cards, different languages and any orientation are all recognized, and you can import a photo to find several cards in a single shot. Scan multiple cards in sequence and add them to your collection in one action, cutting out repetitive searches and data entry. PROFESSIONAL-GRADE COLLECTION MANAGEMENT Record the quantity and grade of every card while your collection value updates automatically with market data. Add cards you are considering to your watchlist and keep everything clearly organized. NEVER MISS YOUR PRICE Set a target price on any card you are watching and get notified when a sale reaches it, or when a new listing appears. Pause alerts one at a time and resume them whenever you like. NO SIGN-IN REQUIRED. SYNC WHEN YOU WANT. Core features work without signing in, and your data stays on the device. Sign in with Apple or Google to sync your collection and watchlist across devices, then restore them after moving to a new device. POWERFUL SEARCH, BUILT FOR COLLECTORS Search by card name, set or number in any order. OpenHolo understands multiple languages, regional names and the names collectors actually use. 70,000+ CARDS, VARIANTS KEPT DISTINCT Coverage spans more than 70,000 cards across 1,400+ sets. Variants are organized separately, so holo and non-holo cards never get mixed together. DAILY MARKET SIGNALS Follow the daily OpenHolo Market Index, movers and trading activity. Compare performance by era and quickly spot cards worth a closer look. YOUR LANGUAGES. YOUR CURRENCIES. The interface supports Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English and Japanese. Display prices in HKD, USD, JPY or GBP, and choose the language used for card names separately. If you take card collecting seriously, OpenHolo belongs on your Home Screen.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HOBBYX at none against OpenHolo's 2. HOBBYX also leads on ads (none vs shown). OpenHolo's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
