ManaBox alternative: PathBinder for every game, plus selling (2026)
ManaBox is a great free scanner and tracker — if you only play Magic and only want to track. PathBinder is the alternative for collectors who also play Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, or One Piece, or who want to sell — it tracks every game in one app and has a built-in marketplace, which ManaBox doesn't.
Start free — track every game →Where ManaBox stops
ManaBox is genuinely good at what it does: a fast Magic scanner built on Scryfall data, free, with a clean collection view. Two things it deliberately doesn't do — it's Magic-only, and it has no marketplace. If your collection is one game and you never sell, ManaBox is a fine home. The moment you branch into another TCG, or you want to turn cards into cash, you're reaching for a second (and third) app.

One app for every game you collect
If you're one of the many collectors who plays more than one TCG, ManaBox forces a split: Magic in ManaBox, Pokémon somewhere else. PathBinder keeps Magic, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and more in a single binder, with one value total and one place to search — including master-set and reverse-holo completion for the sets that have it.
Turn cards into cash without leaving the app
Because PathBinder has a native marketplace, the cards you track are the cards you can list. When something sells it comes off your binder automatically. Seller fees are a low single digit — 6% to 8% depending on your plan — versus roughly 13% on eBay and TCGplayer, and buyers are covered by Stripe's standard dispute process. ManaBox has no equivalent; you'd export and relist elsewhere.

Who should switch — and who shouldn't
Switch to (or add) PathBinder if: you collect more than one game, or you want to sell without exporting to another platform.
Stick with ManaBox if: you're Magic-only, purely tracking, and happy with a dedicated MTG tool — it's good at that.
Frequently asked questions
Is PathBinder free like ManaBox?
Yes. PathBinder's free plan includes unlimited collection tracking with no card cap, the card scanner, and live market prices. You only pay if you want to sell on the marketplace or use vendor/shop tools.
Does PathBinder support Magic: The Gathering?
Yes — Magic is fully supported, alongside Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and more, all in one app. ManaBox is Magic-only, so PathBinder is the better fit if you also collect other games.
Can I sell cards in PathBinder?
Yes. PathBinder has a native marketplace, so you can list and sell cards straight from your collection. ManaBox is a tracker only and does not have a marketplace.
Can I import my ManaBox collection?
Yes. PathBinder supports bulk CSV import, so you can bring an existing collection over from a spreadsheet or app export instead of re-entering it card by card.
What does PathBinder cost?
Tracking is free forever. Paid plans start at $10/month (Enthusiast) to sell TCG singles on the marketplace, with Vendor ($29) and Shop ($99) tiers for sealed listings, product scanning, and point-of-sale.
