TCGplayer alternative
TCGplayer alternative: European market prices
The TCGplayer app shows the market price on its own US marketplace. That price describes the market you will sell on only if you sell in the United States. For a European price in euros: pepita, free with 20 scans a day, or Cotémon. Stay on TCGplayer if you trade there, or for the forty-odd games it covers.

TCGplayer vs pepita
One row per criterion, sorted by which app comes out ahead. A criterion is ranked only when both publishers state it: a dash means “not stated by the publisher”, never “no”, and an absence is not inferred from a silence.

What pepita does better
Why pepita, point by point, with what you need to check it.
Free every day, Premium only if you want it
pepita gives 20 free scans a day, with the Cardmarket price in euros, the collection, its value over time and Top Movers. The optional Premium subscription only adds unlimited scanning and subscriber-only giveaways: €7.99 a month or €47.99 a year, on iPhone. No advertising in the app.
Allowance and prices checked on 7 October 2026; the other apps' prices are in the “Pricing” column of the tables, read on the French App Store and Google Play listings on 18 September 2026.
The cards that are moving, open to everyone
The Top Movers tab ranks the biggest risers and fallers of the week or the month, printing by printing, from the same Cardmarket reading as the rest of the app. That weekly reading is also published in the open on this site, with no account and no subscription. Two other publishers state that they track price changes, ZebraDex and MonPrice; their listings do not say whether it is included in their free tier, so we count it neither for nor against.
The public weekly reading: the Pokémon market this week.
The interface: our opinion, owned as one
We think pepita is the most pleasant of the lot to use. That is an opinion, it cannot be sourced, and it therefore belongs in no table on this page. What can be checked: no advertising, and the price shows from the first scan, with no subscription. Frame the card, read the price, move on to the next one — the app does nothing else, and that is the point. It is free to download: the only test that counts costs a minute.
A European price, never converted
The price shown is the Cardmarket price in euros, the market a card actually sells on in Europe. Printings stay apart: standard, reverse holo and holo are three separate products on Cardmarket, and confusing the first two is the largest silent pricing error there is. Several apps in this comparison quote TCGplayer first, so an American market in dollars.
The rest of the site: free, no sign-up
The card-by-card prices, the set pages, the ranking of the most expensive cards and the valuation tools are public, dated and need no sign-up. Every price carries its source and the date it was read.

This list is computed from the dataset rather than picked by hand: it keeps the apps that run on every platform the compared app runs on, that name at least one of the same marketplaces, the same currency and the same games. A field the publisher does not state counts neither for nor against.
When to stay on TCGplayer
Moving apps costs data-entry time. These are the cases where TCGplayer remains the right answer, each one resting on a fact from its official listing.
- You buy or sell on TCGplayer. It is the only app in this comparison whose prices describe exactly the marketplace the transaction happens on.
- You collect several games. The listing names Magic, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Star Wars Unlimited, Digimon, Disney Lorcana and around forty more. pepita covers the Pokémon TCG only.
- You do not want to pay anything. TCGplayer is free: the attribute line of its French App Store listing reads free with no in-app purchase section. It is the only app in this comparison in that position — pepita is free with 20 scans a day but offers an optional Premium subscription.
