Guide
Best Pokémon card collection apps (2026)
There is no single best Pokémon card app: it depends on whether you want a checklist, a price guide, a store or a full picture of what your collection is worth. Here are six popular options and what each one is actually good at. We make Tallgrass, so it's listed first, with its limits spelled out like everyone else's.
Which one should you pick?
- Priced English collection, master sets, graded and sealed in one place: Tallgrass.
- Several card games in one phone app: Collectr.
- A simple checklist, including Japanese sets: Pokellector.
- What a card has been selling for, across many collectibles: PriceCharting.
- Buying and selling: the TCGplayer app.
- Official card details from the publisher: Pokémon TCG Card Dex.
Six apps, compared
1. Tallgrass
Pokémon collection tracker with market prices (that's us).
- Best for
- Collectors of English Pokémon cards who want every printing (Normal, Holo, Reverse Holo, Poké Ball and Master Ball patterns) checklisted and priced, with Set, Master Set and Grand Master goals, graded prices and PSA population on card pages, sealed product tracking, and prices in US or Canadian dollars. The site is also available in French and Spanish.
- Keep in mind
- English cards only, no Japanese sets. It's a web app: it runs in your phone's or computer's browser and can be added to your home screen, but there is no App Store or Google Play app. It's new in 2026. Public sign-ups open in November.
- Where it runs
- Web (any browser, phone or desktop)
- Price

2. Collectr
Portfolio app for trading cards and sealed products across several card games.
- Best for

3. Pokellector
Long-running Pokémon set checklist site and app.

The official companion app from The Pokémon Company International.

Three questions that decide it
Do you need prices, or just a checklist? A checklist tells you what you're missing. A price tracker also tells you what you have is worth, and that only means something if the price is for the exact printing: a Reverse Holo and a Normal copy of the same card can be worlds apart.
Which cards do you collect? Only English Pokémon? Japanese too? Other games? That alone rules several apps in or out.
Can you get your data out? Collections grow for years. Pick an app that lets you export a CSV, so switching later doesn't mean typing everything again. Tallgrass includes CSV import and export on the free plan, and reads Collectr's export as is.
Tallgrass's free Trainer plan includes 50 card scans a month, 3 Storage Boxes, a Wishlist and 30 days of price history.
