CardEntry and its alternatives compared

If you list a lot of cards on Cardmarket, you want a tool that takes the data entry off your hands. Five of them are side by side here. They do not all solve the same task: some manage a collection, others prepare a sale. CardEntry belongs to the second group and aims to save you time when listing. The table also shows where the others can do more.

The five tools in one table

The details on ManaBox, Delver Lens, NeoSatoshi and TCG Actana come from their own websites and app store listings as of 23 September 2026. Where a maker does not state something, the table says “not stated”. That does not mean the feature is missing.

Where the others are ahead

CardEntry cannot do everything the others can. These points speak for them:

  • ManaBox and Delver Lens manage a collection with lists, binders and decks. CardEntry has no collection management.
  • ManaBox and Delver Lens are phone apps. ManaBox searches cards offline, and Delver states offline use explicitly. CardEntry needs a connection.
  • ManaBox works for collection and decks without a subscription, Delver Lens exports up to 105 cards for free, and NeoSatoshi gives free scans every day. CardEntry gives 500 credits once when you sign up.
  • NeoSatoshi recognises up to 20 cards in one photo and whole binder pages. It also covers eBay and Shopify as sales channels.
  • TCG Actana picks up image files from a scanner folder automatically and costs a fixed monthly amount with no card cap.

Where CardEntry fits

CardEntry is built for the step before listing: photograph the stack or upload scans, confirm the matched version, download the file for TCG PowerTools. It runs in the browser on a computer or a phone, with nothing to install.

  • Nine games, including Yu-Gi-Oh!, which none of the other four supports. Mixed stacks are split by game on export.
  • The export only unlocks once every card is approved.
  • No subscription: you buy credits when a stack is due, and they do not expire.

What you need besides CardEntry

CardEntry does not write anything to Cardmarket itself. The file goes into your stock through TCG PowerTools. Importing works there on the free version too, capped at 50 new changes a day. If you list more per day or want automatic pricing, you need a paid subscription there.

Details on ManaBox, Delver Lens, NeoSatoshi and TCG Actana follow their own websites and app store listings as of 23 September 2026. Prices in US dollars are shown as the makers list them. Features and prices change; when in doubt, the maker’s page applies, not this one. CardEntry has no business relationship with any of the named providers, nor with Cardmarket or TCG PowerTools.
