Open card prices
The US price is only half the story
If you are looking for a TCGplayer alternative, especially from Europe, 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 TCGplayer's US 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: US and Europe, side by side
Foilio shows the US reference next to the European reference, with per-country lows, so a collector outside the US is not stuck reading one market's number.
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 suits you, in the US or in Europe. Open community trading is in development.
A free, open alternative for European prices
A US marketplace price is exactly right for a US buyer. The trouble starts when it becomes the only number a collector on another continent gets to see, because shipping, import and a different local market can move the real cost a long way from a converted US figure. A single country's price is a starting point, not the whole picture.
Foilio's answer is to show more than one market at once: the European reference with per-country lows 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 decide from a spread instead of a single figure.
What you get, free
The European price next to the US price
Foilio's US versus EU comparison puts both markets side by side with per-country lows, so a European collector sees a local reference, not just a US figure.
A free reference price, no account, no key
Search or scan any card and see an independent reference price built from free, attributed sources, with no sign-up and no API key to request.
Where to buy, on both sides of the Atlantic
Every card points at more than one place to buy on the all-venues view, European venues included, so finding a card is never tied to a single site or one country.
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 US marketplace, with its own sellers and buyer protection, that is exactly what a marketplace is for, and TCGplayer is one of the largest in the US. Foilio is not trying to replace that. It sits alongside it as the open price and where-to-buy layer, so you see the US number, the European number and every venue first, 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 TCGplayer 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, with the European reference shown next to the US price. It is independent, needs no account or key, and is especially useful for collectors outside the US who want a local reference. It complements a marketplace rather than replacing it.
Is Foilio a marketplace like TCGplayer?+
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, in the US or Europe, 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 TCGplayer's prices?+
Yes, and it credits them. Foilio uses TCGplayer's US price as one reference among several, shown next to the European reference from open catalog sources, with the provenance listed in the footer of every page. The aim is not to replace any one source but to keep no single source as the only price.
Does Foilio show European prices?+
Yes. Foilio shows a European reference with per-country lows next to the US price on every card, which is the part a US-first price guide does not center. You see both markets and decide from the spread instead of converting a single figure.
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.
When is TCGplayer still the right choice?+
When you specifically want to buy or sell inside a deep US marketplace with its own sellers and buyer protection, a marketplace is exactly the tool for that, and TCGplayer is one of the largest in the US. Foilio sits alongside it: it shows that price next to the European market and every other venue, so you walk in already knowing the range.
