Product updates
Unlimited cards on the free plan, a Lifetime option, set checklists and imports
Save as many cards as you like for free, buy Premium once for £79, invite a friend for a free month each, browse every English set’s card list and bring your collection over from Collectr, TCG Collector or PriceCharting.
Today’s update changes what the free plan covers, adds a way to pay for Premium once, and makes it easier to start a binder, whether you’re planning a new set or moving over from another app.
The free plan now has no card limit
Free accounts used to stop at 100 saved cards, which a National Dex or master set binder fills in an afternoon. That limit is gone. On the free plan you get one binder and can save as many owned and wanted cards in it as you like. Scanning single cards, current prices, the basic Show mode price lookup, offline use and read-only share links are all still free.
What Premium includes now
Premium is still £3.99 a month or £34.99 a year, and every new account gets 7 days of it to try with no payment details. Alongside up to 20 binders, Partner Mode and sold price comparisons, these are now Premium features:
Price history and trend charts, plus the Rising and Breakout signals on cards.
The Analytics tab, including its CSV export.
Show mode deal checks: type an asking price and get a verdict, see pay-up-to prices, sort and filter your Hunting list, and keep a running tally of what you bought at the show.
Scan page, which reads a whole binder page in one go. Scanning one card at a time stays free.
If you go back to the free plan, your cards and binders are kept. You just need Premium again to use these tools or add more binders.
Lifetime: £79 once
If you’d rather not subscribe, you can now buy Lifetime for a single payment of £79. It unlocks every Premium feature for the life of your account, Partner Mode included, and never renews. Go to Settings, then Plan & billing, and choose “£79.00 once, lifetime access”. If you already subscribe, buy Lifetime first and then cancel your subscription in Manage billing, because buying Lifetime doesn’t cancel it for you.
Invite a friend, both get a free month
Owners now have an Invite a friend section in Settings with a personal link. Copy it and send it to a collector who doesn’t use Holo Folder yet. When they sign up through your link and save their 10th card, you both get a free month of Premium. Their month starts after their 7-day trial ends, so nothing overlaps, and you can earn up to 12 free months this way. The invite has to be their first account, made after opening your link.
A card list and checklist for every English set
Every English set we hold now has its own public page at holofolder.com/app/sets, grouped by series with the newest first. Each set page lists every card with its number, rarity and illustrator, shows how many base and secret rare cards there are, and works out how many nine-pocket pages one copy of each fills. Prismatic Evolutions, for example, is 180 cards across 20 pages. You don’t need an account to read them, and “Start this set as a binder, free” takes you straight into the app.
The page counts don’t include reverse holos or other finishes, so plan extra room if you’re collecting those.
Bring your collection from another app
If your cards are in Collectr, TCG Collector or PriceCharting, you can now import their exports instead of starting again. Open the binder’s storage menu, choose Import cards and pick the CSV file. Holo Folder recognises each app’s format, matches the cards to our catalogue and puts each one in its pocket, or adds a new pocket at the end of the binder. Extra and graded copies are kept in your collection without a pocket.
Anything we can’t match with confidence, such as 1st Edition and Shadowless prints, Poké Ball and Master Ball patterns, sealed products and watchlist rows, goes into a review list instead of being guessed. You can download that list to add the cards by hand. Each guide covers where to find the export in the other app:
