TurnZero HQ vs. Collectr: Which Collection Tracker Wins?

Collectr is a portfolio tracker built to cover 20+ trading card games at once, with grading, sealed product, and a value chart aimed at anyone who collects across Pokemon, Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic. TurnZero HQ tracks a Magic collection too, and Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Star Wars: Unlimited, Riftbound and Lorcana ones, but it's built for a Commander playgroup first: your library, your decks, and what actually happened at the table all live in the same account.

TurnZero HQ

Best for a Commander collection that feeds real decks and real games

My Library pulls every card TurnZero HQ has evidence you own into one inventory: whatever's built into a saved deck, whatever you've scanned into a pile, and whatever you've logged by hand for the loose copies sitting in a box. It reports total and distinct cards plus a total value split into priced and unpriced, with binders for organizing however you like, and prices sync from a nightly catalog import. Each copy is tracked at its exact printing and finish, so a foil and a reprint are priced as what they are. Past the inventory, it's the same account that builds the decks those cards go into, tracks life totals and Commander damage at the table, connects a playgroup's games into one night with live standings, and rates every deck with an Elo-style MMR from real results. Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Riftbound, Star Wars: Unlimited and Lorcana collections sit in the same library, with condition, grading, set completion and binders, and every one of them scans with the phone camera. Runs on iOS, Android, and web, and is free with a premium tier for the AI extras and the value chart.

Collectr

Best for a collector tracking value across multiple games

Collectr is a portfolio manager built to cover raw, graded, and sealed cards across more than 20 trading card games, Magic included alongside Pokemon, Disney Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh! and others. Point the camera at a card to add it, and Collectr charts its live market value over time the way a stock app charts a portfolio, with graded-card and population-report data and a calculator that checks whether a proposed trade is fair. The free tier covers scanning and tracking; a Pro subscription, reportedly around $4.99 to $7.99 a month or $59.99 a year, adds unlimited scans, deeper price history, and exports. It has no deckbuilding and nothing that touches an actual game.

Where Collectr Is Ahead

Collectr is the deeper tracker if your collection is the point rather than the games you play with it. It covers a shelf of more than 20 games where TurnZero HQ covers Magic, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Star Wars: Unlimited, Riftbound and Lorcana, and it goes past what TurnZero HQ tracks: sealed product alongside raw and graded cards, population reports on graded cards, and value tracking across every one of those games. If you buy and sell across the secondary market in many games and want to watch that whole portfolio the way you'd watch a brokerage account, Collectr is built for that job first.

Where TurnZero HQ Is Different

TurnZero HQ's library isn't a standalone catalog you keep in sync with anything: cards already built into one of your saved decks count automatically, so a collection tracked here never drifts out of step with the decks it feeds. The camera scans in every game: hold cards up one at a time, or take photos of a pile and confirm each card, picking its printing as you go, then send them to your collection, a deck, or either side of a trade. Search and log anything else by hand, or import a CSV into the binder you choose. The total splits into priced and unpriced cards rather than guessing at a number, and binders group cards however you use them, without touching a card's count or value. Analyze My Collection shows the sets you are closest to finishing and what the missing cards cost, free, with a Premium AI read of what you collect and the decks hiding in it.

Past the inventory, the two apps stop overlapping. TurnZero HQ handles life totals and Commander damage, broken out by attacker, and a join code brings a whole playgroup into one night, guests included, that can split into multiple pods under a single standings race. Each game writes its own Game Feed of turns, damage and cards played, Moments add the big plays to it, decks earn an Elo-style MMR from real results, and AI writes a recap of each game and the night as a whole. None of that has anything to do with what a card is worth, which is exactly the gap Collectr doesn't try to fill.

Who Should Use Which

If your collection spans card games beyond Magic, Pokémon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Riftbound, Star Wars: Unlimited and Lorcana, or sealed product and population reports are part of the hobby, Collectr is built for that in a way TurnZero HQ isn't trying to be. If your collection exists mostly to feed Commander decks you actually play, and you want the pile, the decklists, and what happened at the table in one account with nothing to reconcile by hand, TurnZero HQ is the better fit. A player who both collects seriously and plays a weekly Commander night reasonably keeps both installed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Collectr free?

Collectr has a free tier that covers scanning, tracking, and pricing across its supported games. Collectr Pro, listed on its site in October 2026 at $4.99 a month billed yearly or $7.99 billed monthly, unlocks unlimited scans, up to five years of price history, and data export.

Does Collectr work for Magic: The Gathering specifically?

It covers Magic as one of more than 20 trading card games it tracks, alongside Pokemon, Disney Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh! and others. It's built as a general portfolio tracker rather than an MTG-specific app, so it has no deckbuilding, no Commander life totals, and nothing that touches an actual game of Magic. TurnZero HQ is built for Magic and Commander first, and tracks Pokémon, One Piece Card Game, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Riftbound, Star Wars: Unlimited and Disney Lorcana collections as well.

Does TurnZero HQ track graded cards and sealed product like Collectr does?

Graded cards, for Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Riftbound, Star Wars: Unlimited and Lorcana: each Pokémon copy can carry its variant, each Yu-Gi-Oh! copy its printing and edition, each One Piece copy its printing and finish, and each Riftbound, Star Wars: Unlimited or Lorcana copy its finish, along with a condition, language and a grade like PSA 10, with your own value for it. The Magic side of My Library tracks each copy at its printing and finish, split out by whether it is built into a deck, scanned in, or logged by hand, without condition or grade. No game in TurnZero HQ tracks sealed product or population reports, and if that level of detail is the point of your collection, Collectr is built for exactly that.

Does TurnZero HQ chart my collection's value over time?

Yes, with Premium, for Magic, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Riftbound, Star Wars: Unlimited and Lorcana alike. TurnZero HQ records every collection's value each night, whatever the account, and Premium shows that history as a chart. Collectr's portfolio view goes further, with price data across sealed and graded items in every game it covers.

Can I move my collection from Collectr to TurnZero HQ?

Yes, for Pokémon: export a CSV from Collectr and import it into My Library, which reads Collectr's column names and shows every matched row in a preview before anything is added. The import for every other game reads common header names too, and every game's import can file the rows straight into a binder you pick. Collectr lists data export as a Pro feature, so check your plan before you start.

What does TurnZero HQ do that Collectr doesn't?

It covers the rest of a Commander night as well as the pile. Cards already sitting in your saved decks count toward your library automatically, so there's nothing to keep in sync between a deckbuilder and a tracker. Past that, TurnZero HQ runs life totals and Commander damage at the table, connects a whole playgroup's games into one night with live standings, gives every deck an Elo-style MMR from real results, and writes an AI recap when you're done. Collectr doesn't do any of that, and isn't trying to.

Want your collection, your decks, and your games in one account?

My Library tracks every card you own, free to start, and it already knows which deck each one is built into.
