A simple free-tier scanning plan
New to scanners? Use Tappr’s free scans to learn lighting, verify accuracy on your cards, and catalog the highest-value binders first.
What you get
- Free download on iOS and Android
- Free scans to evaluate fit
- Live prices on recognized cards
- Collection building from day one
- Clear upgrade path for bulk projects
- Web reference on scanmtg.com alongside the app
Start with the valuable piles
On a free allowance, prioritize trade binders, expensive-looking foils, and older cards before bulk commons. You learn the app on cards where mistakes would hurt.
Standardize your setup
Same table, same light, dark background, card fully in frame. Consistency matters more than fancy equipment.
Graduate to unlimited when blocked by volume
If you repeatedly hit free-scan limits while doing real inventory work, upgrading for unlimited scanning is a time purchase — not a requirement to try the product.
Common questions
01How many free scans do I get?
Tappr provides free scans to start; check the app for the current allowance. Unlimited scanning is available as an upgrade.
02Can beginners get accurate results?
Yes — follow basic lighting tips. The AI handles recognition; you mainly need a clear view of the card face.
03Should I remove sleeves?
Usually unnecessary. Clear penny sleeves are fine; dirty or opaque sleeves are harder.
04Where do I learn more?
See the scanning guide on scanmtg.com and the free MTG card scanner landing page for product details.
