## How CardSense AI compares to other apps

- **vs Ludex** — CardSense AI specializes in real AI sub-grades (centering, corners, edges, surface) and is free. Ludex is a strong scanner and marketplace integration, but its grading layer is shallow and Pro pricing reaches $24.99/month.
- **vs Collectr** — CardSense AI delivers AI grading and decision recommendations, not just portfolio tracking. Collectr is a beautiful TCG portfolio app with 2M+ users but no real condition analysis.
- **vs CardGrade** — CardSense AI is free with no per-scan fee. CardGrade charges roughly $0.25 per scan after a 3-credit trial.
- **vs Cardly AI / Sports Card AI Scanner / CardTrackerAI** — CardSense AI covers both sports and TCG with a larger training corpus and a clearer "should I grade or sell raw?" recommendation.
- **vs Gradeon / Gradeaid** — CardSense AI uses the same pre-grading workflow but on iOS first with a better UX and continuously updated pricing data.
