Founder note
Price checks are the start. Beautiful binders are the point.
The binder ideas catalog is the clearest version of that direction: permanent 3x3 pages with real card images, card links, and page totals, so collecting feels visual before it feels transactional.
BinderDex still has to be useful at the shop counter, but the bigger reason to use it should be more personal: it helps collectors turn prices, wishlists, and loose cards into beautiful binders.
3x3 page plansReal card images and linksSpecies, scene, color, and gallery themes
I built BinderDex because I wanted the app I kept needing when a stack of cards became a binder idea: scan the card, understand the market, then decide if it belongs on a page I would be proud to flip through.

BinderDex vs Collectr
Pick BinderDex when the decision is the card in front of you.
Collectr is positioned as a broad portfolio tracker across many collectibles. BinderDex is narrower on purpose: scan the Pokémon card, check the history, save the alert, and see how it fits your collection before money changes hands.
Pokémon-first scanner, collection, and price-history workflow
Owned cards and wanted cards close enough to inform the same decision

FAQ
Questions before you download?
The short version: BinderDex is mobile-first, Pokémon-first, and built around collector decisions rather than market hype.
Who is BinderDex for?
BinderDex is for Pokémon collectors who want a calmer way to track owned cards, watch grails, and research market context without rebuilding the same spreadsheet every week.
Is BinderDex only for Pokémon cards?
BinderDex is Pokémon-first today. Broader TCG support may appear where the product experience is ready, but this page is intentionally focused on Pokémon collectors.
Is BinderDex free to download?
Yes. BinderDex is free to download on iPhone and Android. Optional Pro features are available for collectors who want deeper tracking, alerts, and market views.
What does Pro add?
Pro is meant for collectors who check the app often: deeper market insights, price history, custom watchlist alerts, and more advanced collection analytics.
Can I use BinderDex without adding my full collection?
Yes. You can start with search, Explore, or a watchlist. Collection tracking becomes more useful as you add cards, but it is not required before you can research.
Can I still use BinderDex on the web?
Yes. The mobile app is the daily home base, while Explore on the web gives you a larger screen for card search, set browsing, Pokédex discovery, and card detail pages.
Does BinderDex tell me what to buy, sell, or grade?
No. BinderDex gives collector context: identity, pricing history, watchlist movement, and collection value. The decision stays yours.
How accurate are card prices?
Card prices can vary by condition, printing, grade, source, and recent sales volume. BinderDex treats pricing as context to compare, not as a guaranteed sale price.
Built for collectors.
Available on iPhone and Android.
Start with the cards you own, keep the grails close, and use the web when the research needs more room.
