PriceSpot
Best Pokémon card scanner app in 2026: comparison
There are plenty of apps to scan Pokémon cards with your phone, but they don't all do the same thing. Before choosing one, check five things: whether scanning is free and unlimited, whether it can scan in burst mode, whether it detects the card's language, where its prices come from and whether it forces you to create an account.

Our pick
If you collect in Europe and want to know your collection's value on Cardmarket without paying to scan, PriceSpot is the most complete option: burst scanning, language detection for every card and daily Cardmarket prices.
