Questions, answered
What is the best free TCG collection tracker?+
It depends on your games and platform. If you want a free, no-account, multi-game tool with EUR/USD prices and rip/grade/trade decisions, Foilio (which we build) is our pick. If you are Magic-only on mobile, ManaBox is excellent; for deep Pokemon set checklists, Pokellector is a long-standing favorite; for bulk scanning and selling, CollX is strong. This guide credits where each one genuinely wins.
Is Foilio really 100% free?+
Yes. Every game, no card caps, no account and no ads. There is an optional Pro subscription that lifts a few power-user limits (unlimited scans, full price history, CSV export, custom alerts), but the core tracker, prices and decision tools are free forever.
Which trackers work without creating an account?+
Foilio runs entirely in your browser and needs no account or install. Most other trackers are mobile apps that ask you to create an account so your collection can sync across devices.
What is the best free tracker for Pokemon or for Magic specifically?+
For Pokemon, Foilio (multi-game, with prices) or Pokellector (deep set checklists). For Magic, Foilio (web, EUR/USD, decisions) or ManaBox (mobile scanner and deckbuilder). The right pick depends on whether you value prices and decisions, a scanner, or set-completion checklists most.
