When not to pick BinderDex

You collect sports cards

Ludex is built first for sports cards, and it can list cards on eBay from the app. BinderDex covers Pokémon and searches One Piece cards, and does not cover sports cards.

You collect many different card games

Collectr tracks more than 20 trading card games in one portfolio and has the largest community and public Showcases. HoloDex also supports many games. BinderDex is Pokémon first.

You want the lowest monthly price or deck building

Dex+ costs $3.99 per month on its website, and Dex has a deck builder and a Pokédex binder. BinderDex Pro is $9.99 per month or $39.99 per year, and its store listing does not include a deck builder.

You want the app your friends already use

Collectr has the biggest user base of the five, so more of your friends are likely to be on it already. BinderDex can import a Collectr collection later if you change your mind.
