TCG PowerTools vs. Hoard

TCG PowerTools is the Cardmarket pricing incumbent. Hoard doesn't support Cardmarket today. This page states that plainly, and looks at where the two tools actually fit — including for a seller running both TCGplayer and Cardmarket at once.

By Christopher Neale, Founder at Hoard Updated Aug 26, 2026

Start with the direct answer, because it matters more than anything else on this page: if Cardmarket is a seller's primary or only marketplace, Hoard is not the right tool today. Hoard doesn't support Cardmarket. Its public roadmap lists Cardmarket, alongside eBay, Shopify, and Whatnot, as a future sync target — not something shipped, not something in limited beta, just a listed direction. A Cardmarket seller evaluating tools right now should stay on TCG PowerTools, or an equivalent Cardmarket-native tool, and not wait on Hoard for this.

Best for
Hoard fits a seller whose inventory lives on TCGplayer, including one who also sells on Cardmarket and wants a separate tool for the TCGplayer side. TCG PowerTools fits a seller whose primary or only marketplace is Cardmarket — it's the official Cardmarket partner-listed tool, and Hoard doesn't support Cardmarket today.

TCG PowerTools' edge: the official Cardmarket partner seat

TCG PowerTools is one of two tools listed on Cardmarket's official partner page, alongside Scryfall (a card search engine, not a pricing or inventory competitor) — a direct, verifiable endorsement most tools in this category don't have. Its own marketing states 1,700+ traders using the platform, 50 million-plus articles under management, and over 1 million prices updated daily via a nightly pricing bot that runs per-subset strategies. Those are TCG PowerTools's self-reported numbers; we haven't independently verified them, but the scale claim is consistent with being the named partner-page incumbent on Europe's largest card marketplace.

Pricing runs €2.99 to €79.99/mo, scaling by sales volume, with a 7-day trial to test the pricing bot against a real inventory before committing. For a Cardmarket seller, that combination of partner-page standing, volume-scaled pricing, and a nightly bot built specifically around Cardmarket's per-subset pricing structure is a genuinely strong, purpose-built offer. There's no reason to look past it for a Cardmarket-only operation.

Hoard's lane: TCGplayer, not Cardmarket

Hoard's coverage is TCGplayer, not Cardmarket. For a seller whose inventory lives on TCGplayer, automated repricing runs on a schedule, with floors, ceilings, and an auditable log of every price change, across all 25 TCGplayer-supported games. That's a real and separate strength from what TCG PowerTools does — but it answers a different question than "how do I price my Cardmarket listings," and this page won't pretend otherwise.

The honest overlap case is a seller who sells on both TCGplayer and Cardmarket. There's no reason that seller has to pick one tool over the other: TCG PowerTools for the Cardmarket side, Hoard for the TCGplayer side, run in parallel. Neither tool currently reaches across to the other's marketplace, so running both isn't a workaround: it's just using each tool where it's built to work, until or unless Hoard ships Cardmarket support.

What "not yet" actually means here

Hoard's roadmap lists Cardmarket as a future target because there's real demand for it from sellers who run both marketplaces (the same demand this page is written for). But a roadmap listing isn't a shipped feature, and a Cardmarket seller reading this today shouldn't wait on it. TCG PowerTools already does the job, is the named Cardmarket partner, and has a bot built around Cardmarket's specific pricing structure that Hoard has no equivalent to.

It's worth being specific about what "on the roadmap" means, because it's a phrase that gets overused to sound like progress that isn't there. Hoard's public roadmap names Cardmarket, eBay, Shopify, and Whatnot as directions the product could go. None of the four are built. None have a committed ship date on this page. A Cardmarket seller weighing tools today should treat that list as a statement of intent, not as a reason to wait instead of picking TCG PowerTools now.

If TCGplayer is even part of the mix

The moment TCGplayer is one of the marketplaces a seller sells on, alongside Cardmarket or on its own, Hoard becomes relevant for that side of the operation. TCGplayer repricing runs independently of whatever pricing tool handles Cardmarket, so there's no coordination needed between the two. Each tool watches its own marketplace and reprices against its own listings. Connect a TCGplayer store and see the read before deciding anything; there's no cost to looking, and it doesn't require dropping TCG PowerTools for the Cardmarket side.

Common questions

How much does TCG PowerTools cost?

€2.99 to €79.99 per month, scaling by sales volume, with a 7-day trial to test the pricing bot against a real inventory before committing.

Does Hoard support Cardmarket yet?

No. Cardmarket sits on Hoard's public roadmap, alongside eBay, Shopify, and Whatnot, as a future sync target — not something shipped or in limited beta. A Cardmarket seller should stay on TCG PowerTools or an equivalent Cardmarket-native tool today.

Can I run TCG PowerTools and Hoard at the same time?

Yes. Neither tool reaches across to the other's marketplace, so a seller on both TCGplayer and Cardmarket can run TCG PowerTools for the Cardmarket side and Hoard for the TCGplayer side in parallel, with no coordination needed between them.

Is TCG PowerTools officially endorsed by Cardmarket?

Yes. It's one of two tools listed on Cardmarket's official partner page, alongside Scryfall (a card search engine, not a pricing competitor) — a direct, verifiable endorsement most tools in this category don't have.

What does TCG PowerTools' pricing bot actually do?

It runs a nightly bot using per-subset pricing strategies. TCG PowerTools' own marketing claims it updates over 1 million prices daily across 1,700-plus traders — that's a self-reported number we haven't independently verified.

TCGplayer-native repricing, run alongside your Cardmarket tool

Hoard doesn't touch Cardmarket. It handles the TCGplayer side of a multi-marketplace operation: scheduled repricing, floors and ceilings, a receipt of every change.
