Open card prices
One marketplace is never the only price
If you are looking for a Cardmarket alternative, Foilio is a free, open way to check what a card is worth and find where to buy it, showing the European reference next to the US price across every game and every venue. Foilio is an independent price and where-to-buy layer, not another marketplace, and it uses and credits Cardmarket's public price as one source among several.
It is: a free, open price layer
Foilio checks what any card is worth from open, attributed data and points you to where to buy, for every game, with no account and no key. The core is free forever.
It is: the spread, not one number
Foilio shows the European reference next to the US reference and lists more than one place to buy, so you always see a range instead of a single figure.
It is not: another marketplace
Foilio does not hold your money, list your cards or take a cut of a sale. It values cards and sends you to buy wherever you already do. Open community trading is in development.
A free, open alternative for checking prices
A single marketplace is very good at one thing: being a place to buy and sell. What it is not built to be is the one true price for a whole hobby. When a single number becomes the reference for an entire continent, and reading or reusing it can mean a fee or an approval, collectors lose the ability to sanity-check a trade against anything else.
Foilio's answer is not to pick a different gatekeeper. It is to show more than one at once: the European reference next to the US price, more than one place to buy, and every game on the map, all free to read and built from open, attributed sources you can check yourself. You still buy wherever suits you. You just walk in already knowing the range.
What you get, free
A free reference price, in EUR and USD
Search or scan any card and see an independent reference price built from free, attributed sources, with no account and no API key to request.
The European price next to the US price
Foilio's US versus EU comparison puts the two biggest markets side by side, so one continent's number is never the only one you get to see before a trade.
Where to buy, across every venue
Every card points at more than one place to buy on the all-venues view, so finding a card is never tied to a single site or a single account.
Every game, including the overlooked ones
Pokemon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, Lorcana, One Piece, Riftbound and dozens more all get a price view and a place on the map, not just the games one marketplace decided to carry.
When a marketplace is still the right tool
If your goal is to actually buy or sell inside a deep European marketplace, with its own sellers and buyer protection, that is exactly what a marketplace is for, and Cardmarket is one of the largest in Europe. Foilio is not trying to replace that. It sits alongside it as the open price and where-to-buy layer, so you see the full picture first and then trade wherever it makes sense.
Free to check, with Pro when you want depth
Checking a price, comparing markets and finding where to buy stay free, with no account and no key. Foilio Pro is optional and adds price history, portfolio analytics and price alerts for collectors who want to track value over time, never a paywall on the price itself.

Questions, answered
Is Foilio a Cardmarket alternative?+
Foilio is a free, open alternative for one job in particular: checking what a card is worth and finding where to buy it, across every game and every venue, without depending on a single marketplace's number. It is independent, uses no account or key, and shows a European reference next to the US price. It complements a marketplace rather than replacing it.
Is Foilio a marketplace like Cardmarket?+
No. Foilio does not hold money, list your cards or take a cut of a sale. It values cards and points you to where to buy, and you keep buying and selling wherever you already do. Open community trading, where a collector can list their own cards with Foilio never taking a cut, is in development.
Does Foilio use Cardmarket's prices?+
Yes, and it credits them. Foilio uses Cardmarket's public European price as one reference among several, shown next to the US reference from open catalog sources, with the provenance listed in the footer of every page. The point is not to replace any one source but to keep no single source as the only price.
Is it really free?+
Yes. Looking up a card, comparing US and EU prices, scanning a card and finding where to buy are all free, with no account and no API key. Foilio Pro is optional and adds price history, portfolio analytics and price alerts, none of which are needed to check a price.
Can I see European and US prices side by side?+
Yes. Foilio shows the European reference next to the US reference on every card, and the cross-market view highlights where the same card is cheaper right now, so you decide from a spread instead of a single figure.
When is Cardmarket still the right choice?+
When you specifically want to buy or sell inside a deep European marketplace with its own sellers and buyer protection, a marketplace is exactly the tool for that, and Cardmarket is one of the largest in Europe. Foilio sits alongside it: it shows that price in context next to the US market and every other venue, so you walk in already knowing the range.
