PokéItem
MobileScan your TCG cards and track your collection's value day by day
What it does
App (iOS, Android and web) for collectors of Pokémon TCG, One Piece Card Game, Riftbound, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Dragon Ball Z: you scan a card with the camera, it identifies it with rarity, variant and language, and adds it to your collection with its market price. It values cards and sealed product every 24 hours by cross-referencing Cardmarket, TCGplayer and eBay sales in 9 currencies, and adds community features: public profiles, messaging, a store directory and a commission-free marketplace. It is freemium, with Premium and Premium+ (multi-TCG) weekly, monthly, annual or lifetime.
Who it is for
TCG card collectors and investors (Pokémon, One Piece and others) who want to know what their collection is worth and manage it from their phone.
Why it can be replicated
Pricing pipeline
Requires ingesting and cross-referencing prices from Cardmarket, TCGplayer and eBay daily: dependence on third-party data (ease ceiling ≤5).
Card recognition
Camera scanner with a multi-language catalog; hard to match in accuracy and speed.
Regionalization as an advantage
Won in France against US apps (Collectr, TCGplayer) with local language and market; a pattern replicable in other countries.
MVP in 12 weeks

Active Subscriptions in the RevenueCat screenshot from the founder's post (June). Not audited.
The reference mentions RevenueCat. This does not certify this listing’s figure.
View financial evidence- Headline = founder's latest claim (June): €2,001 → USD 2,236 (EUR/USD 1.1172, ECB Frankfurter 2026-10-30). provenance.originalMrr=2001 (EUR). Basis revenue. Old figure (2026-06-25).
- Media inspected (media/HLrsZDTXoAAVzyR.jpg): MRR €2 001, 552 active subscriptions, 86 trials, revenue 28d €7 778 → customerObservation.count=552.
- TrustMRR CONTRAST, neither claim nor headline (seen 2026-11-01): MRR $17,294, last 30 days $31,071, all-time $80,579, 2,784 subscriptions, RevenueCat, France, founded May 2026, '+46% MoM'. Upward mismatch: the product has grown a lot since June and the founder has not published a more recent MRR.
- Site pokeitem.fr (2026-11-01): '+60 500 utilisateurs', '+1,38 M cartes scannées', 4,7★ (461 App Store ratings). FAQ: free up to 1.000 cards and 20 scans/month; Premium 2,99 €/wk, 5,99 €/mo, 49,99 €/yr, 159,99 € lifetime; Premium+ 4,99 €/wk, 8,99 €/mo, 79,99 €/yr, 249,99 €. pricing.from = 5,99 € → $6.69/mo (same rate).
- Ease 3: ceiling ≤5 due to a pricing pipeline dependent on third parties (scraping/licenses) and 3 platforms (iOS, Android, web). Risk High: dependence on price data + crowded category + hype.
- Regionalize/translate/niche angle: PokéItem itself is a regionalization win (FR vs US apps); replicate with local ES/LATAM pricing, PT-BR or niche TCGs.
- Soft flags: price-data/scraping, crowded TCG category, team of 2, more benchmark than seed.
- Logo: apple-icon.png 1200×1200 rescaled to 192×192.
