How each app works
TCG Card Identifier Value asks for a photo, either taken in the app or uploaded from your library, and its AI recognizes the card and returns key details, market value and rarity information. You can save cards to a collection, track and organize them, and build decks from the cards you have. The listing does not describe condition grading.
Binder AI starts from a photo of the front and a photo of the back. It identifies the card, gives an overall grade estimate on the PSA, BGS or TAG scale you choose, with centering, corners, edges and surface subgrades and written notes, and shows eBay sold prices, price history and a graded value table. Cards go into binders by game or sport, with sharing and wishlists.

- Deck building. It builds decks from your own collection. Binder AI does not have a deck builder.
