Who should pick which
Omi
Pick Omi if you want one scan to show eBay sold, TCGPlayer and CardMarket prices together, PSA, BGS, CGC and SGC graded prices, and Japanese and Korean card prices. iPhone only, Pokémon only, and still a young app with few ratings.
Dragon Shield
Pick Dragon Shield if you want TCGplayer and CardMarket prices with CSV export at a lower premium price ($3.99/mo). Pokémon, Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh! are separate apps.
TCGplayer
Pick TCGplayer if you mainly buy and sell on the TCGplayer marketplace. The app is free and covers 40+ games, with TCGplayer prices only.
Ludex
Pick Ludex if you also collect sports cards and price by eBay sold listings. The free tier holds up to 60 cards.
How we compared
We read each app’s US App Store listing, its in-app purchase list and its official website on October 30, 2026, and took ratings from Apple’s public lookup API the same day. If a source doesn’t state something, the table says “Not stated” instead of guessing. Omi is our own app; its row comes from its App Store listing and this site. Spotted something out of date? Tell us in the app and we’ll fix it.
