The free Shiny alternative
Most people looking for a Shiny alternative want EUR/Cardmarket-native prices instead of US-first ones, or a tool that runs in the browser with nothing to install. Foilio is a free, EUR-native web app across Pokémon, Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh, with value and decision tools on top of scanning and tracking.
Why collectors look for a Shiny alternative
- You want EUR/Cardmarket-native prices with per-country lows, not US-market data (TCGplayer/eBay).
- You prefer a browser tool with nothing to install and no account.
- You want decision verdicts (booster-box EV, grading ROI, trade fairness), not just scanning, tracking and alerts.
What Foilio gives you as the alternative
- ✓Free forever, with no card cap and no ads
- ✓EUR and Cardmarket-native, with USD and BGN too
- ✓Runs in any browser, no app install, no account to start
- ✓Decision tools: booster-box EV, grading ROI, trade fairness and deal score
- ✓Multi-game: Pokémon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh and more in one place
When Shiny is still the better pick
No tool wins at everything. Switch only if these do not matter more to you.
- A very fast, accurate mobile scanner with unlimited scanning across a wide range of games.
- Price alerts on singles, sealed and slabs, plus a card-centering tool for grading checks.
- Cross-device sync and a polished native mobile experience.
If you want the fastest mobile scanner across many games with slick price alerts, Shiny is excellent. If you want a free, EUR/Cardmarket-native tool that runs in any browser and adds rip/grade/trade verdicts, Foilio is the web companion.

Questions, answered
Is Foilio a good Shiny alternative?+
For most collectors, yes. Foilio is 100% free with no card cap or ads, needs no account or app install, is EUR/Cardmarket-native, covers Pokémon, Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh, and adds decision tools (booster-box EV, grading ROI, trade fairness, deal score) on top of tracking. Where Shiny genuinely wins is listed above, so pick whichever fits how you collect.
Can I move my Shiny collection to Foilio?+
Yes. Foilio imports a standard CSV (the Manabox/Collectr-style export most tools produce), so you can bring your list and cost basis across in a couple of minutes, no account needed. Your collection is saved on your device.
Is Foilio really free?+
Yes. The multi-game search, prices, collection tracking, scanner and the decision tools are free forever with no card cap and no ads. There is an optional Pro subscription that lifts a few power-user limits and adds history and alerts, but the core stays free.
