True Grade is an auto-grading and pricing sports card service for individuals who are looking for a quicker and easier way to have their cards graded. Users can create an account that will allow them to take a photo of their card, grade it on the spot, and save their card in a collection for their records. Cards are graded based on these factors: Centering, Corners, Edges, and Surface. True Grade gives each attribute a grade of 1-10, then combines those to give the card a final grade of 1-10. After receiving a grade, users can utilize True Grade’s pricing feature to discover what their card is worth based on recent market sales.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Beckett Mobile at 4.5 against True Grade App's 2.5. Beckett Mobile also leads on ratings volume (3.1K vs 111) and chart position (#178 vs unranked). True Grade App's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beckett Mobile sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. True Grade App asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Beckett Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beckett Mobile has 3.1K ratings behind it against 111, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of Beckett Mobile's written reviews are positive against 27% of True Grade App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Beckett Mobile ships an update every 6 weeks, True Grade App every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
