PokeHive vs Collectr
A free Collectr alternative with an AI scanner and measured centering.
Collectr is the most popular multi-hobby collection tracker, with a big catalogue and a polished portfolio view. PokeHive is Pokémon-only and leans into the things a general tracker skips: identifying a card from a photo, measuring its centering against PSA tolerances, and showing what you'd actually keep after selling fees. Both have a free tier.
