ChasingFoil vs Collectr for Pokémon collectors
Honest version up front: Collectr is an excellent app. It covers 25+ trading card games, has a slick scanner, and holds a 4.9 star rating across tens of thousands of reviews. If you collect many games and mainly want a portfolio tracker in your pocket, Collectr is a strong choice.

All of it on a free website you can open in any browser.
Comparison based on public information as of July 2026. Collectr PRO is $4.99 a month billed annually or $7.99 monthly. ChasingFoil Pro is $5.99 a month or $59.99 a year. Spotted something outdated? Tell us and we will fix it.
