Trading card apps differ in which games they cover and what they are for. Some track a collection's value like a portfolio, some are built around buying and selling, and some catalog every kind of collectible. Here is what each app does, going by its own App Store listing.

It values a collection from its product database, tracks market trends and the biggest gains and losses, and shows values in multiple currencies. App Store
