Best Pokémon card scanner apps in Europe (2026)
US apps price cards in dollars from TCGplayer or eBay. In Europe the singles market runs on Cardmarket, in euros, and you need the card name in your language. Here is how the main scanners compare for European collectors.
Seven scanners, from a European point of view
Reviewed on November 3, 2026
One row per app. “Not confirmed” means its official listing does not say, not that it cannot do it.
Plan prices from the Spanish and US App Store listings on the review date; your store may differ.

Which price matters in Europe?
For singles, Cardmarket: it is Europe’s main marketplace. TCGJoin shows Cardmarket prices in euros; Dragon Shield and CardNexus use Cardmarket data too. TCGplayer and Rare Candy show US prices in dollars.
Language matters as much as currency: a French or German collector wants the card name and artwork as printed, not only English. TCGJoin runs in 10 languages with localised card names.
Which app to pick in Europe
Cardmarket prices in euros and the app in your language: TCGJoin.
Buy and sell inside the app with low European fees: CardNexus.
Sealed and graded across many games: Collectr.
You mostly buy from the US: TCGplayer.
Pokémon only, free unlimited scanning, graded values: Rare Candy (USD prices).
What TCGJoin adds for Europe
Free scanner (100 scans a month, unlimited on Rare) and a free collection.
Cardmarket euros first; if a card has none, a TCGplayer figure converted at the ECB rate, always flagged.
Import from Collectr, TCGplayer, Dragon Shield, ManaBox or any CSV: import your collection.
What it does not do yet: native App Store listing (iPhone works in the browser); it is not a marketplace.
