CollX provides a mobile-first marketplace and toolkit that lets collectors scan cards, upload and export collections, view others’ collections, and buy or trade cards. The app includes AI chat features powered by OpenAI for collection advice and pricing, plus specialized offerings like Card Dealer Pro for bulk scanning. CollX monetizes through a pro subscription ($10/month or $100/year), referral partnerships (PSA grading, Whatnot, Fanatics, Topps), and a 10% marketplace commission; CollX says Pro and Card Dealer Pro drive the bulk of current revenue while marketplace transaction revenue is growing. The company reports over 3 million users (up from 600,000 in 2023), about 400,000 monthly active users, and a marketplace that hosts roughly 30,000 buyers and 20,000 sellers with ~20% month-over-month growth. CollX faces competition from Alt, Ludex, and ComC but positions itself on breadth of card coverage and integrated tools. The startup is not yet profitable and plans to decide by year-end whether to pursue profitability or accelerate user and marketplace growth. CollX offers free iOS and Android apps that let collectors scan trading cards and receive value estimates using a proprietary database of more than 20 million cards. Since launching in January last year the app has attracted over 600,000 users who have scanned more than 100 million cards. The company acquired Card Dealer Pro last year and currently generates revenue from that product, which helps card shops quickly scan and upload inventory. Today the app connects collectors for potential deals, though transactions and address exchange are handled manually. CollX plans to build a marketplace to facilitate trades between card dealers and take a cut of transactions, and to help shops list their collections on the platform. In the longer term the startup intends to expand beyond cards to onboard other collectibles such as coins and stamps.
