Dex alternative

The European alternative to Dex

Dex is a complete, mature US app with a scanner and community. But it’s in English and focused on the US and Asian markets. If you collect in Europe, want prices in euros and the real value of every card by language and condition, DarkDex does a different job: it runs in the browser and estimates what your Pokémon TCG collection is really worth on the European market.
