Brickify vs Ludex in 2026: Which scanner fits your collection?

Ludex wins if you're flipping cards fast on eBay. Brickify wins if you collect LEGO, because it's the only scanner that covers LEGO, Pokémon, and Magic in one app. Ludex gives sellers unlimited free scans and a quick scan-to-listing flow. Brickify gives collectors prices from real recent eBay sales and a portfolio dashboard for the whole collection. Here's when you'd pick each app, and when you'd want both.

Ludex wins on selling speed: its scan-to-eBay-listing flow is fast and built for volume. If you're working through a bulk lot of sports, Pokémon, or MTG cards you plan to sell, that flow is genuinely quick and low friction. It also covers sports cards, which Brickify doesn't touch.

The free tier gives you unlimited scans, though your portfolio caps at 60 cards and you're limited to 5 eBay listings a month. Pricing pulls from eBay completed sales, so you're not guessing at market value. Ludex runs on iOS and Android, covers sports cards, Pokémon, and Magic: The Gathering, and claims a 4.7 star rating. Premium runs about $50 a year.

Brickify is the only collectibles scanner that covers LEGO alongside Pokémon cards and Magic: The Gathering. Scan sealed sets, built sets, minifigures, loose brick piles, and raw or PSA graded cards, all in the same app. No switching tools, no second account. Raw and PSA graded prices sit side by side for cards, so you see both markets at a glance.

Bulk scanning is built into the core experience, not bolted on. A shelf of sealed sets or a binder page of cards prices in one pass with a running total. That's how actual collectors work through a collection.

Brickify identifies items in under two seconds with a confidence score. Ludex is built for a fast path from scan to eBay listing. Brickify's confidence score sits right on the result, whether it's a brick, a card, or a set, so you know how much to trust the ID.

The real difference is the workflow, not the stopwatch. Ludex is tuned to get a card listed on eBay fast, and it's genuinely good at that. Brickify's bulk scan prices a shelf, binder page, or pile in one pass, with the running total updating as you go. Different jobs, both quick.

Yes, with Brickify. Ludex's free tier caps your portfolio at 60 cards, which is fine if you're flipping inventory but doesn't hold up if you're sitting on a mixed collection of LEGO, Pokémon, and Magic and want to know what it's all worth right now.

Brickify's portfolio is built for the whole collection: a live dashboard, value over time across 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 1 year windows, trends by theme and set, and sync across devices. Brickify is free to download and scan; Brickify Pro is $9.99 a month or $60 a year.

More than 100,000 collectors already track their stuff this way, including 25+ of the top LEGO and Pokémon YouTubers (EvanTubeHD, DaniBobStudios, and more), with 4.6 stars and over 5,000 five-star reviews on the App Store.

Both apps price from real eBay sales, but only Brickify adds a live portfolio dashboard with value-over-time charts. Neither app leans on a static price guide.

Ludex pulls from eBay completed sales. Brickify prices from live market comps of real recent eBay sales, not static guides or algorithmic estimates, and shows raw and PSA graded prices side by side for cards.

On portfolios, Ludex's free plan caps at 60 cards. Brickify's dashboard tracks value over time, breaks out trends by theme and set, and syncs across devices with no card limit.

One honest note on LEGO: for the deepest LEGO market analytics and retirement predictions, BrickEconomy is genuinely stronger. It's a website, not a scanning app, and its values are algorithmic estimates rather than live per-listing comps, but the data depth is real.

Short version: Brickify covers LEGO plus cards with a live portfolio. Ludex is a card scanner tuned for fast eBay listing.

Pick Ludex to sell cards on eBay fast. Pick Brickify to track a mixed LEGO, Pokémon, and Magic collection in one app.

Choose Ludex if you're a high-volume card seller moving inventory on eBay. Unlimited free scans and a quick scan-to-listing path make it a great flipping tool, and it covers sports cards, which Brickify doesn't. The 60-card portfolio cap won't slow you down when you're moving stock, not holding it.

Choose Brickify if you're a collector holding LEGO, Pokémon, Magic, or a mix of the three. You get one app for the whole collection, prices from real recent eBay sales, raw and PSA prices side by side for cards, and a portfolio dashboard with value over time and trends by theme and set. Scan a whole shelf or binder page in one pass, and it's free to download and scan.

Both apps make scanning quick. The real choice comes down to what you collect and whether you're selling fast or holding long.
