TCG STATS vs Hoard

TCG STATS is a newer, European-oriented repricing tool built around a scan-to-price-to-list workflow: you scan a card, it prices and lists across your connected marketplaces. It runs three monthly tiers (€19, €49, and €99) and charges 0% commission on top, which is the headline feature in its own marketing. It covers eBay, Cardmarket, CardTrader, Shopify, and WooCommerce.

Hoard is built for a narrower job: automated repricing for sellers who already run a TCGplayer store. No card scanning, no listing creation across five marketplaces — just reading a TCGplayer inventory, tracking the market, and pushing scheduled price updates back to it.

The comparison mostly comes down to one question: which marketplace do you actually sell on. TCG STATS also layers in floor protection and country-based pricing rules, which matter more for a seller shipping across borders inside the EU than for a single-marketplace TCGplayer store. Its own marketing claims a sub-60-second sync from scan to live listing. We haven't independently verified that number, so treat it as a vendor claim rather than a measured fact.

TCG STATS's real strength: five marketplaces, no commission

If you sell on Cardmarket, CardTrader, eBay, or run a Shopify or WooCommerce storefront, TCG STATS is worth a look and Hoard is not an option — Hoard doesn't reprice on any of those platforms today. The 0% commission structure is also a real advantage over any tool that takes a cut of sales: at higher volume, a flat fee or no fee at all beats a percentage every time. The scan-to-price-to-list workflow is also a genuinely different product shape from Hoard, useful if you're pricing physical stock as you sort it rather than working from an existing online catalog.

The marketplace TCG STATS doesn't touch

If your business is a TCGplayer store, TCG STATS doesn't cover you at all — TCGplayer isn't on its marketplace list. That's true regardless of TCG STATS's pricing or feature set; a tool that doesn't touch your marketplace can't reprice your listings, full stop. Hoard is TCGplayer-native: it reads your existing store, reprices on a schedule (Gold weekly, Platinum daily, Diamond every four hours), and covers market data across all 25 games TCGplayer carries, not just Magic.

Two 0% commission products, different marketplaces

Both tools avoid taking a percentage of sales. TCG STATS advertises 0% commission as its core pitch; Hoard's flat monthly fee by sync tier works out the same way in practice — your fee doesn't grow with your revenue. See Hoard's plans. The real difference isn't the fee structure, it's the marketplace list: TCG STATS's five platforms don't overlap with TCGplayer, and Hoard's one platform doesn't overlap with TCG STATS's five.

What happens if TCG STATS adds TCGplayer

Worth naming directly: if TCG STATS ever adds TCGplayer support, the pricing gets uncomfortable for Hoard fast. €99/month is roughly half of what Hoard charges for its Platinum tier, and a 0% commission model at that price would put real pressure on any seller doing the math. That's not a hypothetical we're hiding from. It's the plausible path this comparison takes if TCG STATS ships that coverage. Today, though, TCG STATS doesn't reprice TCGplayer listings, and a TCGplayer-focused seller can't use it regardless of how the price compares.

It's also worth noting that TCG STATS is a newer, less-established entrant than most of the tools sellers already compare against Hoard. That's not a knock on the product; a new tool with a genuinely different fee model deserves a look. But it's a reasonable factor to weigh alongside the feature list, especially before you route a live, revenue-generating catalog through it.

If you're not sure which category you fall into, connect your TCGplayer store and look at what Hoard sees before deciding anything. There's no charge to look.
