Foilio vs ManaBox: the free ManaBox alternative
ManaBox is the go-to Magic app for a lot of players: a fast mobile scanner, full deckbuilding, and a collection tracker on iOS and Android. Foilio comes at it from the web: a 100% free, no-install tool that already spans Pokémon, Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh, is EUR/Cardmarket-native, and is built around decisions (rip-or-hold EV, grade-or-sell, fair-trade) rather than just logging and deckbuilding.
Where ManaBox wins
No tool is best at everything, here's where ManaBox is the stronger pick.
- The most popular Magic-specific app, with an excellent mobile scanner and a deep Magic database.
- Full deckbuilding and playtesting that a web price tool does not try to replace.
- Works offline on your phone, and its CSV format is a community de-facto standard.
- A large, established Magic community.
If you live in Magic on your phone and want the best mobile scanner and deckbuilding, ManaBox is superb. If you want a free, no-install tool that works in any browser, covers more than Magic, and gives you rip/grade/trade verdicts with EUR prices, Foilio is the web-native companion.
