Price guides and inventory tracking are different jobs
We get asked whether we're an alternative to Card Ladder or Market Movers. We're not, and we're not trying to be. They answer what is this card worth? We answer what do I actually own, and what did it cost me?
Two different questions
Market-data tools exist to track prices — sales history, indices, trends across the hobby. That's a hard problem, it needs enormous amounts of sales data, and the people doing it have spent years on it. We have no intention of competing there.
Our problem is the other one, and it's oddly neglected: knowing what you own. Every card, what you paid for it once shipping and fees and tax are counted, which box it's in, what you sold and for how much. That question is answered today by a spreadsheet, badly, and that's the thing we're trying to replace.
| The question | What answers it |
|---|---|
| What is this card worth right now? | A price guide or market-data tool |
| How has this player's market moved? | A price guide or market-data tool |
| What do I own, exactly? | An inventory tracker |
| What did this card really cost me? | An inventory tracker |
| Which box is it in? | An inventory tracker |
| What did I sell this year, and for what? | An inventory tracker |
They work better together
A valuation is only as good as the list it's applied to. If your inventory is incomplete or your cost basis is wrong, the best market data in the world gives you a confident answer to the wrong question. Get the inventory right first, and everything you layer on top of it gets more useful — including whatever price tool you already pay for.
What we do
You already get a receipt for every card you buy, and it has everything on it: the card, the price, the shipping, the fees, the tax. Forward it to your private address — or set a rule in your own email so you don't even do that — and we read it and file the cards. No mailbox access, no sign-in to your email account, no full email bodies stored. The inventory stays accurate because keeping it accurate costs you nothing.
There's a free plan
Free to start and free to stay. Basic inventory tracking — your cards, unlimited photos, storage locations, manual entry and export — plus a few free receipt reads so you can watch the automatic part work on your own emails first. If that's all you ever need, keep it.
Card Ladder and Market Movers are named here only to describe the category they work in. We're not affiliated with either, and we don't make claims about their features or pricing — check with them directly.
