How CardLuma and Card Dealer Pro compare
| What matters | CardLuma | Card Dealer Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Best fit | eBay-first sellers who want cleaner listings, richer item specifics, reusable rules, pricing comps, scheduling, and P&L in one browser workflow. | Scanner-heavy sellers and multi-marketplace sellers who want native Mac/Windows scanning plus cross-listing to eBay, CollX, Whatnot, and CSV. |
| Platform / capture workflow | Browser-based workflow with batch upload and QR-based phone image upload; no desktop scanner app required. CardLuma also supports direct eBay listing, CSV export, scheduled listings, and multi-variation listings from the same workflow. | Web app plus native Mac/Windows Trading Card Scanner app. CDP supports autofeed scanners, flatbed scanners, and smartphone ingest; its scanner app handles auto-cropping, border margins, and branded images. |
| Scanner-first throughput | Works through image upload from desktop or phone; good for sellers who do not want a dedicated scanner-app workflow. | Strong scanner-first positioning. CDP recommends the Ricoh/Fujitsu fi-8170 and cites up to 70 cards per minute, 100-card feeder batches, and 6,000 cards/hour scanner throughput. |
| AI card identification | Multistage AI identification, 10M+ sports-card database, claimed 99.8% identification accuracy, and identification in under 5 seconds for a single card (about 0.25 seconds per card across a batch). | Visual-search AI against a claimed 20M unique card-record database. CDP 2.0 also claims Magic Scan is more accurate, 15x faster, and supports live batch processing. |
| Supported card categories | Sports, 165+ TCG/CCG titles, and non-sports trading cards in the same scan-to-listing workflow. Serial-numbered CCG/TCG cards are identified and populated automatically, same as sports. | CDP support snippets reference Sports, Pokemon, Non-Sport, and TCG templates for Pokemon, Magic, and Yu-Gi-Oh; CDP 2.0 also says wrestling, soccer, and multi-sport are live, with more categories coming. |
| eBay item specifics | Over 20 eBay item specifics auto-filled, including player, year, set, card number, sport, team, parallel, RC, HOF, autograph, serial number, card size, material, vintage/modern, language, league, season, graded/ungraded, and more. | CDP says its AI populates key card data and uses eBay marketplace templates, but the public pages reviewed do not show the same 20+ eBay item-specific field breakdown. |
| Title and description workflow | Automatic title builder, smart title shortening for eBay's 80-character limit with a visual warning before you publish, redundant-sport removal when the sport is already in the set name, 30K+ team abbreviations, multiple title templates, description templates, per-card description notes, and title/description placeholders for graded cards. | CDP supports custom title and description templates. |
| Rules and listing automation | Priority-ordered automation rules for store categories (including primary and secondary assignment, and a team-matches-category rule), shipping policies, Best Offer minimum and auto-accept thresholds set globally or by price band, description templates, batch defaults, package profiles, and eBay policy sync. | CDP supports marketplace templates, pricing rules, and template switching. Public docs describe selecting templates with different listing settings, such as shipping policy and pricing rule; this looks more template-driven than CardLuma's reusable rule engine. |
| Pricing and comps | Real eBay sold prices, active listings, recent sales, price ranges, Market Movers lookup, and per-card profit/loss inside the card edit workflow. | CDP's homepage says sellers can use its pricing database to determine what to sell cards at, and support snippets reference ID-and-price and pricing-rule workflows. |
| Marketplace workflows | eBay-first workflow with Whatnot-ready inventory/workflows. | Cross-listing to multiple marketplaces depending on plan and feature set. |
| Marketplace support | Direct eBay publishing, eBay CSV export, scheduled eBay listings, multi-variation listings, eBay inventory management, promoted-listing campaign sync, and bulk delist/relist — plus CSV export to bring clean inventory into Whatnot for live selling. | Public FAQ says CDP connects directly to eBay, CollX, and Whatnot, and can export CSV to import into any system. |
| Cross-listing / auto-delisting | eBay-first listing and inventory workflow, with Whatnot-ready inventory via CSV export. | CDP positions itself as an inventory source of truth across connected marketplaces, with inventory sync/auto-delisting; scope varies by plan and feature set. |
| eBay scheduling / listing cadence | Scheduled listings, interval-based publishing, cards-per-interval, spread-across-days, auction support, and auction end-time tips. | CDP supports listing and sending cards to eBay; equivalent scheduling and spread-across-days automation is not confirmed on the public pages reviewed. |
| Images and listing presentation | Automatically combines front/back images into a single eBay-ready composite, supports up to 20 additional listing photos, image rotation, per-card and bulk front/back image swap (fix a batch scanned backwards in one action), listing branding, and image watermarking. | CDP says its scanner app supports auto-cropping, border margins, and branded images; support snippets also reference front/back image handling. |
| SKU / inventory labels | SKU generation, bulk SKU, account-level static SKU mode, numbered SKU ordering, and print-ready SKU label templates that print one label per unit of inventory quantity. | CDP support snippets say CDP can automatically generate SKUs or let sellers enter SKUs manually. |
| Graded cards / cert lookup | Dedicated PSA/BGS/SGC grade fields; grading cert verification listed as coming soon. | CDP has an advantage here today: CDP 2.0 says sellers can bulk inventory slabs by certificate number and verify certs through APIs with PSA, SGC, CGC, and BGS. |
| Trial and onboarding | Free trial of 14 days or 25 cards, whichever comes first, with Pro features included and no credit card required. Every plan includes unlimited listings, direct eBay publishing, reusable rules/templates, inventory and profit tracking, and no expiring add-on scans. | CDP has a 7-day Prospect free trial and says the paid plan begins automatically unless canceled; it also offers a 30-minute demo call. |
| Pricing model | Scan-volume pricing: $10/mo for 1,000 scans, $20/mo for 3,500, $38/mo for 7,500, $71/mo for 15,000, and $99/mo for 25,000. Rules and templates on every plan; Pro and up add Consignor Tracking. | CDP public monthly pricing: $9/mo Prospect with 500 AI credits, $19/mo Majors with 1,100 AI credits, and $59/mo All-Star with 5,000 AI credits. Plans also differ by marketplace count and features such as templates, custom fields, and inventory views. |

What about Whatnot?
CardLuma is eBay-first because eBay listing quality is where most sellers feel the pain: item specifics, sold comps, titles, policies, categories, relisting, and duplicate prevention. But serious sellers rarely operate in only one place. CardLuma has a Whatnot-ready CSV export so you can move clean inventory into your live-selling workflow — so the same cleaned-up card data works beyond eBay.

You are primarily optimizing for eBay listing quality and repeatable operations: complete item specifics, cleaner titles, description automation, store-category rules, shipping-policy rules, Best Offer automation, scheduled listings, eBay policy sync, Promoted Listings campaign sync, sold comps, and per-card P&L.

Is Card Dealer Pro worth it?
It can be if your operation runs on a dedicated autofeed scanner, you want a native Mac/Windows scanner app, you need bulk slab cert lookup today, or you cross-list to CollX and Whatnot as much as eBay. If you mainly sell on eBay and care most about item specifics, titles, and listing rules, CardLuma gives you rules and templates on every plan at a lower cost per scan: about $0.0057 on the $20 plan vs about $0.017 per credit on CDP's $19 plan.
Does Card Dealer Pro have a free trial?
Yes. Card Dealer Pro offers a 7-day Prospect trial, and the paid plan begins automatically unless you cancel. CardLuma's trial runs 14 days or 25 cards, whichever comes first, and needs no credit card, so nothing charges when it ends.

Strengths: scanner-first throughput, a native scanner app, a large card database, bulk slab cert lookup, and cross-listing to eBay, CollX, and Whatnot.
