The apps, briefly and honestly
PathBinder
Tracks Pokémon in English and Japanese alongside Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh! and One Piece. Its Pokémon strength is variant-accurate completion: each finish (Normal, Reverse Holo, Holo, 1st Edition) is its own slot, so a "200-card set" counts the ~350+ real collector slots and shows a master-set percentage — most checklists only track base numbers. It has a scanner, live prices, and a built-in marketplace where you sell your own cards at a 6–8% fee (about half of eBay/TCGplayer). Free tier is unlimited. Newer and smaller than the incumbents — the honest trade-off.
Pokellector
The long-running, free Pokémon set-completion checklist. Clean and thorough for ticking off base set numbers across every English set. No scanner, no reverse-holo-as-separate-slot tracking, and no marketplace — it's a checklist, not a portfolio or store.
Collectr
The strongest multi-TCG value tracker — stock-portfolio-style charts across raw, graded and sealed Pokémon in 25+ games, including Japanese sets. Its shop lets you buy, but there's no way to list your own cards to sell to other users, so selling happens off-platform.
TCGplayer
Primarily the largest US card marketplace, with a free tracker and scanner wired into it. Best if your priority is selling to the biggest buyer pool — the trade-off is seller fees around 13% and a tracker that's a feature of a store rather than the main event.
Dragon Shield & CollX
Dragon Shield's apps are the fastest, most accurate scanners if bulk scanning is your priority (Pokémon-specific app; tracking only, no marketplace). CollX covers sports and TCG on one big database with a scanner and an in-app marketplace — a good low-friction start if you collect across categories, free up to 500 items.

- You just want a free set checklist → Pokellector.
