Best trading card listing software: 13 tools compared
Most card sellers end up juggling three tools: one to scan, one to list, and a spreadsheet to track what sold. The best listing software does all three. We compared 13 tools on what matters: identification, where you can sell, graded cards, prices, inventory and profit, and what it costs to start.
Disclosure: we make SlabIQ, and it's our pick. Every claim about another tool comes from that company's own website and is linked on its full comparison page.

What to look for
What good card listing software should do
Six things that decide how much time a tool saves you, and how SlabIQ handles each one.
Batch identification you can trust
A tool that identifies a whole stack at once, covers the games you sell, and flags uncertain matches instead of guessing.
In SlabIQ: AI identification for sports cards and TCGs including Pokémon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana and Flesh and Blood; uncertain matches go to manual review.
Every channel from one inventory
Selling on more than one marketplace only works if a sale on one updates the others.
In SlabIQ: One inventory across eBay, Shopify and CardTrader: when a card sells on one, SlabIQ updates the others.
Graded slabs handled properly
Slabs need grader, grade and cert number on the listing, in the fields eBay expects.
In SlabIQ: Grader, grade and cert number fields, carried into eBay's graded condition descriptors for PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC, TAG, ACE and every other grader eBay recognizes.
Prices from named sources
Pricing should say where it comes from, for TCGs and sports cards alike.
In SlabIQ: TCGplayer market prices and recent sales for TCGs, completed sales where available, and live eBay and TCGplayer asking prices, each labelled with its source.
Inventory and profit, not just listings
Know where every card is and what it made after fees.
In SlabIQ: Per-card cost basis, listed and market price, and storage location; duplicate combining and pick lists. Finance Hub tracks purchases, sales, marketplace fees and profit.
A way to start free
Try it on your own cards before you pay.
In SlabIQ: Free plan with 500 scans / month; paid plans from $9.99 a month.
