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. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings. ComicScout is independent and is not affiliated with Marvel, DC, CGC, CBCS, eBay, or PriceCharting. Values are estimates, not guarantees.
