   ManaBox, ManaBox homepage (2026): “+7K reviews from +500K users”

   ManaBox ranks first because its free tier covers the full loop of a collection app. The App Store listing says you can search through all cards and sets for free, and the search runs offline with filters. The camera scanner adds cards to sorted binders and lists, and each card shows prices from TCGplayer, Cardmarket, Card Kingdom, Star City Games, Cardhoarder and Mana Pool, with conversion to your local currency. Deck tools include mana curve and mana production charts, a deck value total and a simulator for test draws, and decks can be shared as links that open in any browser. A trade tool lets two players pick exact printings before they swap. The developer's site reports more than 500K users. ManaBox PRO costs $2.49 a month or $22.99 a year, and ad removal is a separate $1.99 purchase. The listing does not say which features PRO adds, so check inside the app before paying.

   Strengths

   • +Search of every card and set is free, according to the App Store listing
   • +Shows prices from six stores and marketplaces side by side
   • +Search works in seven languages, including Japanese and Russian

   Limitations

   • −The listing does not spell out which features ManaBox PRO adds
   • −Prices can differ slightly from store websites because of update timing, the developer notes
   • −Unofficial app, not affiliated with Wizards of the Coast

   SummaryManaBox is the best MTG card database app for most players because its free tier includes offline search of every card, a scanner and prices from six stores. PRO at $2.49 a month is optional.

   Dragon Shield MTG Scanner is the strongest pick for collectors who watch values.

Each card shows daily prices from TCGplayer, Cardmarket, Card Kingdom and MTGMintCard plus a 30-day price history, and a Top Movers view lists the biggest winners and losers, filtered by format, date range or your own collection. Weekly emails summarize value changes and new additions. The deck builder supports sideboards and shows mana curve, color balance and type spread, and decks export to CSV or text for tournament registration. A trade tool shows who is ahead in a trade and by how much, and friends can browse each other's lists. It holds 4.6 out of 5 from 3.8K US App Store ratings. Paid tiers start at $1.99 a month, and Premium costs $3.99 a month or $39.99 a year.

   8.9overall

   The marketplace's free app for scanning cards, tracking market prices and buying from its sellers.

   Best forPlayers who want free scanning with TCGplayer market prices and plan to buy or sell there

   Adoption data

   19K App Store ratingsTCGplayer holds a 4.3 out of 5 rating from 19K ratings on the US App Store.

   Apple App Store, TCGplayer on the US App Store (2026): “4.3 out of 5 19K Ratings”

   TCGplayer's app is the simplest free way to learn what a stack of cards is worth in US dollars. It scans cards with the camera, picks the card version, and tracks the market price for every card on the TCGplayer marketplace without a subscription. The collection lives in your TCGplayer account, so it is there on any device once you log in, and you can buy missing cards from thousands of sellers in the same app. The supported list runs from Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh to One Piece, Lorcana and Star Wars Unlimited, which suits households that collect more than one game. It has the largest rating base among the MTG-focused apps here, 19K ratings on the US App Store, and more than 1M Google Play downloads. The limits are scope and price sources: the listing describes no deck builder, and every price is TCGplayer's own market price, so European players are better served by apps that also show Cardmarket.

   Strengths

   • +Scanning, organizing and price tracking are free
   • +Market prices come straight from the marketplace where many US players buy cards
   • +Covers Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Lorcana and many other games in the same app

   Limitations

   • −Shows TCGplayer prices only, not Cardmarket or Card Kingdom
   • −No deck builder or deck stats are described in the listing
   • −Collection access requires logging in to a TCGplayer account

   SummaryTCGplayer is the best free scanner for US players because scanning and market price tracking cost nothing. Pick ManaBox or Dragon Shield if you also want deck tools or Cardmarket prices.

4. 4

   Moxfield

   A web deck builder for Magic: The Gathering with card search, collection tools and public decks.

   8.6overall

   A web deck builder for Magic: The Gathering with card search, collection tools and public decks.

   Best forDeck builders who want a free web tool for every constructed format

   Adoption data

   3,570 paid membersMoxfield's Patreon page lists 3,570 paid members supporting the site.

   Patreon, Moxfield on Patreon (2026): “3,570 paid members”

   Moxfield is the best web tool in this list for players whose collection exists to feed their decks. Its homepage covers Commander, Modern, Standard, Pioneer and Legacy and says it supports all the official constructed formats plus a few community-driven ones. Search runs across decks, cards and brewers, and one account gives access to its tools for searching, collecting and deck building. Public decks from YouTubers, streamers and pro players make it a reference for what others are playing. Some card prices and other card data come from Scryfall, which Moxfield credits in its footer. The site is free, and Patreon support starts at $1 a month and removes ads; its Patreon page lists 3,570 paid members. Moxfield's homepage does not describe a camera scanner, so players with large paper collections often add cards through a scanning app and import the list.

   Strengths

   • +Free to use, and Patreon support starts at $1 a month
   • +Supports all official constructed formats plus community formats
   • +Large public deck library to browse by format

   Limitations

   • −Its homepage describes no card scanner
   • −Built around decks first, collection second
   • −Ads show unless you support it on Patreon

   SummaryMoxfield is the best free web deck builder for players who build in every format. Pair it with a scanning app if you need to digitize a paper collection.

5. 5

   Scryfall

   A free Magic: The Gathering card search engine with daily prices, a public API and bulk data.

   8.5overall

   A free Magic: The Gathering card search engine with daily prices, a public API and bulk data.

   Best forPlayers who want the most detailed free card search on the web

   Scryfall is the best free card search database for Magic, and many other tools build on it. Its search supports a documented syntax and regular expressions, so you can ask for very specific sets of cards, and its help pages explain legality, Pauper and Old School rules. Scryfall syncs prices from each affiliate every 24 hours; search results show the lowest price it knows in a currency, it uses the TCGplayer market price, and each card page lists every affiliate price. New previews are entered within 24 hours, and non-English cards are transcribed as printed. Developers get the card data and image database free of charge through an API and bulk files, which is why sites such as Moxfield credit it for prices. Scryfall ranks lower here because it does not scan cards or keep a collection inventory: its account tools center on decks. Use it to look cards up, and use ManaBox or Dragon Shield to track what you own.

   Strengths

   • +Free card data and images, including a public API
   • +Detailed search syntax for exact queries
   • +Prices from several affiliates shown on each card page

   Limitations

   • −No card scanner
   • −Account tools center on decks; the Saved Cards feature was removed in October 2019
   • −No apps of its own in the app stores, as far as its help pages show

   SummaryScryfall is the best free web database for looking up any Magic card and its price. It does not scan or track a collection, so collectors need an app as well.

6. 6

   Collectr

   A portfolio app that values raw, graded and sealed products across Magic and more than 20 other TCGs.

   8.4overall

   A portfolio app that values raw, graded and sealed products across Magic and more than 20 other TCGs.

   Best forCollectors of several games who track graded cards and sealed product as a portfolio

   Adoption data

   70K App Store ratingsCollectr holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating from 70K ratings on the US App Store.

   Apple App Store, Collectr - TCG Collector App on the US App Store (2026): “4.9 out of 5 70K Ratings”

   Collectr treats a card collection as an investment portfolio. It values raw, graded and sealed products, so a PSA slab or an unopened booster box sits next to your singles, and it draws on a real-time database of more than 1,000,000 products. A dashboard shows the biggest gains and losses, price alerts notify you when a card crosses a target you set, and values can be shown in any currency, including crypto. Magic: The Gathering is one of more than 20 supported games, alongside Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece, Lorcana and Flesh and Blood. Its 70K ratings and 4.9 average are the most of any app in this list. The trade-offs matter for Magic players: unlimited scanning, exclusive filters and data exports require Collectr PRO at $7.99 a month or $59.99 a year, and there is no deck builder, so players who build decks need a second tool.

   Strengths

   • +Tracks graded cards and sealed boxes, not only singles
   • +Highest rating count in this list, 70K on the US App Store
   • +Covers Magic, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece and many more games

   Limitations

   • −Unlimited card scanning requires the paid plan
   • −No deck builder; it is a portfolio tool
   • −PRO at $7.99 a month is the most expensive entry plan here

   SummaryCollectr is the best choice for multi-game collectors who hold graded and sealed product because it values all three in one portfolio. Players who build decks should pick ManaBox or Moxfield instead.

   TopDecked MTG

   A Magic app that combines a deck builder, deck simulator, life counter and collection tracker.

   8.3overall

   A Magic app that combines a deck builder, deck simulator, life counter and collection tracker.

   Best forPlayers who want deck testing, a life counter and a collection tracker in one app

   Adoption data

   2.8K App Store ratingsTopDecked MTG holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating from 2.8K ratings on the US App Store.

   Apple App Store, TopDecked MTG on the US App Store (2026): “4.8 out of 5 2.8K Ratings”

   TopDecked MTG suits players who spend as much time testing decks as cataloging cards. The deck builder checks legality for popular formats, supports Commander, Oathbreaker and Brawl, and shows hypergeometric probabilities, mana curve and the cost to complete or buy a deck. A simulator lets you drag cards onto a virtual battlefield to test draws, and the life counter handles up to 6 players with commander damage and counters. The collection tracker records haves and wants, moves cards between decks and binders, and syncs with the TopDecked website. Card search covers any printing or artist, with daily and weekly price trends per set. It can also run home tournaments with custom rounds. Basic accounts are free, and Spark, Powered and Elite plans cost $2.99, $4.99 and $8.49 a month. The listing does not describe a camera scanner, so adding a large paper collection is slower than in ManaBox or Dragon Shield.

   Strengths

   • +Basic accounts are free forever, according to the listing
   • +Shows the cost to complete a deck from your collection
   • +Runs home tournaments with custom rounds and standings

   Limitations

   • −No camera scanner is described in the listing
   • −Storage and some features need a Spark, Powered or Elite plan
   • −Many features compete for space in one app

   SummaryTopDecked MTG is the best choice for players who test decks because it adds a simulator, life counter and tournament tools to a collection tracker. Collectors with big paper piles should choose an app with a scanner.

8. 8

   Deckbox

   A long-running website for MTG collections, trades and decks, with a scanner app on Android and an iPhone beta.

   7.9overall

   A long-running website for MTG collections, trades and decks, with a scanner app on Android and an iPhone beta.

   Best forTraders who want unlimited free card storage and a site built around trade lists

   Deckbox has helped players collect, build and trade since 2008, and trading is still its strength. A free account holds unlimited cards and decks, split into an inventory, a tradelist and a wishlist that you can share with a link. The site automatically shows cards you can trade with other users, and its trade interface values both sides, tracks sent and received cards, and keeps a feedback record for each trader. The scanner app recognizes editions, alternate-art printings, tokens and double-faced cards and detects printing, foil status and language; free accounts get 20 scanner additions a day. Premium removes that cap and adds unlimited inventory tags, decks built from your real inventory and a full collection history for $5.99 a month or $47.88 a year. The Android app is on Google Play, but the iPhone app is a TestFlight beta, which makes Deckbox a weaker fit for iPhone owners.

   Strengths

   • +Free accounts hold unlimited cards and decks
   • +Shows which other users have the cards you want for trade
   • +Running since 2008

   Limitations

   • −The iPhone app is still a TestFlight beta
   • −Free scanning is capped at 20 additions a day
   • −Premium at $5.99 a month costs more than ManaBox PRO or Dragon Shield's entry tier

   SummaryDeckbox is the best choice for traders because free accounts hold unlimited cards and the site matches your wants with other users' trade lists. iPhone users should note the app is still in beta.

   Delver Lens

   Best forAndroid players who scan cards and send the list to another site

   Adoption data

   100K+ downloadsDelver Lens has more than 100K downloads on Google Play.

   Google Play, MTG Card Scanner Delver Lens on Google Play (2026): “100K+ Downloads”

   Delver Lens is a dedicated scanner that works well as the front end for another site. Its Google Play listing says it recognizes cards, tokens and emblems from Alpha to the most recent set by scanning the full card, and it shows prices from TCGplayer and Cardmarket with currency conversion. You can sell cards to or buy from Card Kingdom, buy from TCGplayer, search your collection, read Oracle text offline and build decks. Its export list is the longest here: Archidekt, CardSphere, Deckbox, DeckStats, EchoMTG, MTGGoldFish, MTGStand, MyCardInventory, PucaTrade, QuietSpeculation and TappedOut. The Android app has more than 100K downloads but a 3.7 out of 5 rating, and the iPhone version's rating was recently reset, so expect rough edges. On iOS, Delver Pro costs $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year. Players who want a scanner and a full collection manager in one place are better served by ManaBox or Dragon Shield.

   Strengths

   • +Export options cover more than ten collection and deck sites
   • +Oracle text works offline
   • +Recognizes tokens and emblems as well as cards

   Limitations

   • −3.7 out of 5 on Google Play, the lowest rating here
   • −The iPhone app's rating was recently reset on the US App Store
   • −Delver Pro at $4.99 a month costs twice ManaBox PRO

   SummaryDelver Lens is the best choice for Android players who scan cards and export them to another service, thanks to more than ten export targets. Its ratings trail the apps ranked above it.

    7.5overall

    A collection tracker and price analytics service for serious MTG collectors, on the web and mobile.

    Best forCollectors with large inventories who track profit and loss on each card

    Adoption data

    110 App Store ratingsEchoMTG holds a 4.0 out of 5 rating from 110 ratings on the US App Store.

    Apple App Store, EchoMTG - TCG Card Pricing on the US App Store (2026): “4.0 out of 5 110 Ratings”

    EchoMTG is built for collectors who treat their cards as inventory. Each card can carry its own acquisition price and date, so the dashboard reports profit and loss, and pricing is split into normal, foil and etched columns. Price charts run from daily to all time, and trending alerts flag spikes in cards you own. Moving in is easy: a bulk CSV importer reads exports from TCGplayer, Deckbox, ManaBox, Moxfield and Delver Lens, and you can export to CSV at any time. Plans scale by collection size. Basic is free up to 500 cards; Collector costs $4 a month for 50,000 cards with daily pricing sync and scanner bulk add; Finance Guru costs $8 for 300,000 cards and a buy and sell advisor; and Pro costs $12 for 2,000,000 cards, an SQL Playground, an insurance-ready valuation PDF and API access. Paid tiers include a 14-day trial. Its 110 App Store ratings are the fewest here.

    Strengths

    • +Imports collections from five other apps and services
    • +Collector plan tracks up to 50,000 cards for $4 a month
    • +14-day trial on paid tiers

    Limitations

    • −Free Basic plan stops at 500 cards
    • −Small rating base on the US App Store (110 ratings)
    • −The Buy/Sell Advisor and portfolio dashboard need the $8 Finance Guru plan

    SummaryEchoMTG is the best choice for collectors who track profit and loss because every card can hold its own purchase price and date. The 500-card free cap means most collectors will pay.
