Everything Pokellector tracks, plus scanning and pricing
Pokellector is a solid set checklist, but adding cards means tapping through lists by hand and it shows no pricing. Pokex lets you scan a card to add it instantly — with market value attached.

What Pokellector offers
Pokellector is a popular collection tracker that lets you mark which cards you own across Pokémon TCG sets. It has a clean visual checklist, set lists, and a loyal community. The catch is that adding cards is fully manual — you browse set lists and tap each card — and there is no scanning and no pricing information.
How Pokex is different
The biggest gap is workflow speed. With Pokex you point your camera and the card is identified, priced, and added to your collection in about a second. It also shows real-time variant pricing, set-completion percentages, and a portfolio value tracker. Pokellector shows what you own; Pokex shows what you own and what it is worth.
Why collectors switch
Manual entry stops being fun once a binder runs to 500 cards. Scanning that binder takes minutes with Pokex versus hours of tapping. The built-in pricing means you always know your collection value without checking external sites, and Pokex handles multi-variant cards properly where a plain checklist treats reverse holos and regulars as the same line.
Verdict
Pokellector is a reliable checklist. But without scanning or pricing you are doing twice the work. Pokex lets you scan, price, and track in a single workflow, which matters most once your collection grows past a few hundred cards.
