What It Is

CardVis is an AI grading mobile app for sports cards and TCG collectible cards. After users upload or take photos of the front and back of a card, the system generates a grading report and saves the results to the user’s personal in-app collection. Its positioning is not to replace professional grading companies such as PSA or Beckett, but to give collectors a fast, low-wait-cost reference for pre-grading and collection management.

Core Capabilities and Output

CardVis’s AI breaks grading down across four key dimensions: Centering checks alignment and centering deviation; Edges identifies whitening, chipping, or rough edges; Surface detects scratches, dents, and print lines; and Corners evaluates sharpness and wear. Each card receives a transparent report with explanations, and users can search and filter their personal collection by player, set, or grade. The website does not disclose the specific model, training data, on-device/cloud architecture, nor does it mention API access or bulk integration capabilities.

Pricing and Data Privacy

The product uses a subscription model, offering weekly and monthly subscriptions that include grading credits. Typically, each card consumes 1 credit, covering analysis of both the front and back. Specific pricing, credit allowances, and whether credits roll over need to be checked inside the app. Payments are processed by platforms such as the Apple App Store and Google Play; CardVis does not directly store credit card information. In terms of privacy, users retain ownership of their images and grading results. Images and results are stored on CardVis servers and associated with the user’s account; they are private by default and not publicly displayed. Users may request deletion of their account and data.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

Its strengths are a highly focused use case, a simple workflow, and clearly structured grading reports. It is useful for collectors who want to screen cards before submitting them for official grading, and also works as a tool for managing a personal card portfolio. The limitations are equally clear: AI results are not guaranteed to be accurate, are not recognized by professional grading institutions, and cannot be treated as official certification; output depends heavily on photo quality; the app currently does not support downloading or exporting reports, so users can only take screenshots; and the free trial and exact fees are not publicly disclosed. It is better suited to individual collectors, players, and lightweight sellers, rather than formal authentication scenarios requiring legal or transaction-level endorsement.

Access in China and Alternatives

The service statement is mainly oriented toward users in the United States, and does not specify support for access from mainland China, a Chinese interface, RMB payments, or local compliance. Actual availability will depend on App Store/Google Play region settings, network conditions, and payment options. If use in China is restricted, alternatives include manual evaluation in card-collecting communities, authentication services offered by domestic card trading platforms, or direct submission to international or local professional grading companies.
