The short version

If you have a pile of cards on the desk, the first job is figuring out what is actually in there. These scanners point your camera at a card and tell you the exact set, number, and current price — faster than typing it into a search bar.

Which one for what

Pokex is for Pokémon. Tappr is for Magic: The Gathering. They are split because the card databases are different — one app cannot do both well.

How to use it well

Scan card by card. Confirm the set and number. Add to your collection. The app does the price lookup and the checklist tracking; you just point the camera.

A quick rule of thumb

  • Pokex for Pokémon — scanning, sets, collection.
  • Tappr for Magic: The Gathering — scanning and decklists.
  • Confirm the set when price matters; reprints look identical.
  • Stop typing card names into spreadsheets.

Questions

A few quick answers

Which app scans Pokémon cards?

Pokex. Camera at the card, set and number out — plus collection tracking and checklists.

Which app scans Magic cards?

Tappr is the Magic: The Gathering one. Separate from Pokex because the card data is different.

Can these check prices?

Yes — once a card is identified, the app pulls current pricing. Always double-check the set, since reprints can change the value.
