PokeHive vs CollX
CollX-style scanning, built only for Pokémon — and free.
CollX is a fast, marketplace-first scanner that spans sports and TCG. PokeHive is Pokémon-only: a deeper catalogue for the game, real price history, a measured pre-grader, and no upsell to a paid seller hub. If you mainly buy, track and value Pokémon cards, PokeHive is the tighter fit.
| Feature | PokeHive | CollX |
|---|---|---|
| Add cards by photo (AI scan) | Yes | Yes |
| Bulk scan mode | Yes | Yes |
| Pokémon catalogue depth | Dedicated — variants, rules, JP | Broad, shallower per game |
| Price history charts | Yes — real sold history | Limited |
| Measured centering / pre-grade | Yes | No |

| Price | Free | Free tier; Gold ~$25/mo |
When CollX is the better pick: Use CollX if you want to sell directly to other collectors inside the app, or if you also collect sports cards and want one scanner for both.
FAQ
- Can I sell cards through PokeHive?
- Not directly — PokeHive links you to eBay and Cardmarket listings. It focuses on cataloguing and valuation, not being a marketplace.
- Does PokeHive scan sports cards?
- No, Pokémon only — which is why the Pokémon catalogue and pricing go deeper.
PokeHive is free — no signup needed to browse prices, scan a card or pre-grade centering.
