Trading card scanner apps for iPhone

What every TCG scanner app should do

• Identify any printing — not just the card name, but the specific set, rarity, and edition. A Common from a 2002 set is not the same product as a Quarter Century Secret Rare reprint.
• Surface live prices — TCGPlayer, Cardmarket, and eBay sold listings, with multi-currency conversion. Stale prices from a single source are worse than no prices.
• Track condition and quantity — collection accuracy depends on logging Near Mint vs Lightly Played, and how many of each printing you actually own.
• Work offline — scanning on the road or at a tournament should not depend on a usable cellular connection.
• Respect privacy — no photos uploaded to a server unless you explicitly ask, no analytics that follow you across apps, no ad SDKs.

By trading card game

Yu-Gi-Oh!

YuScan

The app this site is built around.

YuScan identifies any Yu-Gi-Oh! card in under a second using an on-device vision model trained on every printing in the database. Because the model runs locally, scanning works offline at a locals or a regional. The companion website mirrors the full database — every card, archetype, and expansion has a permanent URL with live prices from TCGPlayer, Cardmarket, eBay, Amazon, and CoolStuffInc.

• On-device AI scanner with 1st Edition / Unlimited variant detection
• Full TCG and OCG ban-list validation in the deck builder
• Multi-language card data: English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish
• Live prices from six marketplaces with automatic currency conversion

Pokémon TCG

Eyevo

For Pokémon collectors who care about exact printings and shareable lists.

Eyevo combines an AI scanner with an OCR fallback so set codes and collector numbers resolve correctly. It also ships with shareable collection exports for trade negotiations.

• AI + OCR scanner for accurate Pokémon TCG variant detection
• Collection tracking with TCGPlayer and Cardmarket pricing

Magic: The Gathering

Scrytics

For Magic players who track price history and build EDH decks on the go.

Magic: The Gathering has 30+ years of printings, foils, borderless variants, showcase frames, and Secret Lair drops. Scrytics surfaces all of them per card with a 365-day price history graph so you can tell whether a sudden spike is a real shift or a flash-in-the-pan listing. The deck builder supports Standard, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy, and Commander legality.

• Fast scanner with full variant and printing disambiguation
• 365-day price history per card
• Deck builder with format legality across Standard through Commander

How to choose

If you only play one TCG, pick the app for that game and ignore the others. The scanner pipeline is shared, but each app is tuned for the visual quirks and database structure of its specific game. A Pokémon scanner trying to identify a Yu-Gi-Oh! card is the wrong tool — it does not know what to look for.

If you play more than one, install both. The apps are independent, so collections, decks, and purchase history stay separate per game. There is no all-in-one trading card app that does any single TCG well — the data shapes are too different.
